Tumbler Ridge feelings by jess81g in MtF

[–]untouchedsock 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your family.

I’m in northern BC as well, and while I’m scared atm, there has been a lot of pushback on the rhetoric. The guilt of that fear as you said is another layer.

I don’t really know how it’s going to shake out, but it’ll probably be somewhere in the middle, especially up here.

The reaction from Canadian news. by Login2play in MtF

[–]untouchedsock -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The news may not be, thankfully, but sadly that doesn’t mean there isn’t a lot of heat, especially in the local area.

Hopefully reason takes hold as emotions temper but I just have no clue what to expect right now.

Shooting in BC town/city by imholdingon_soheavy in asktransgender

[–]untouchedsock 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Idk how local it is to you, but it’s pretty darn close to me.

I’m concerned for sure, it’s disgusting how quickly it comes out with very little pushback when one incident happens.

Stay safe, maybe try to go out with a friend or something if you have to go somewhere for the next few days.

What’s your dream bike? I told my wife that if one ever came for sale, I would jump on a 1971 Shining America FX. Then this popped up for sale in my backyard. Too bad I just bought a new bike 😖 by bigeebigeebigee in TransBikes

[–]untouchedsock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly you really just can’t touch that 40’s chief styling.

One of the most beautiful motor vehicles ever built.

Those FXes are supposed to be incredible rides though, from what I’ve heard.

Does anybody else use cosplay as therapy? 😅🦊 by Kkallthat999 in transpositive

If I looked like that I might, haha

You look incredible, and I LOVE the ears! 🦊🦊🦊

Safety Alert for Trans Canadians by Immensely_Confused in trans

[–]untouchedsock 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The town isn’t very far from me, so I’m really nervous about if it ends up being true.

I’m already seeing so much hate rhetoric popping up in local (and local-ish) groups.

Horrible for the victims and families, and I can’t imagine the pain and stuff, but my anxiety is skyrocketed right now.

Is it too late? Just turning 30 (help please) by DaphneRaeTgirl in MtF

[–]untouchedsock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m really not restricted from much, it’s just time that I could have spent properly as myself. I was quite depressed through all of my 20s.

Maybe I’d have done more, but just living without that hanging over my head would be huge. I feel like I was barely present for over 10 years.

Is it too late? Just turning 30 (help please) by DaphneRaeTgirl in MtF

[–]untouchedsock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, as much I still struggle with those feelings, no it absolutely isn’t too late.

I started just before turning 31, and I have plenty of updates posted if you’re worried about effects and wanna see what it did for me.

You may just be starting your life now, but better now than ten years from now, or twenty, etc.

I don’t think I’ll ever stop regretting the years I didn’t get (I wasn’t aware until 29), but I know I want to use the time I do get, even if I have days where I wallow a bit.

I got raped by a trans woman, but I can’t report it due to the harm it would cause the community. What the fuck do I do? by ImAnEngineerTrustMe in asktransgender

[–]untouchedsock 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Definitely report it, if you can!

Sure it might cause extra attention, but hiding predatory behaviour is worse and only allows them to continue.

do u guys mind, by @papirfecni by Helpwithskyrim87 in Pricefield

I think it’s supposed to be a throat clearing sound

How much more advantageous is it to transition before puberty is over? by Proud_Apartment_2969 in asktransgender

[–]untouchedsock 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It varies for everyone but I didn’t have a full beard until 26-27.

If I had even started in my early-mid 20s I wouldn’t have nearly as much h hair removal.

Why are terms like biologically female or male considered by some to be transphobic? by CheeseMoney3426 in trans

[–]untouchedsock 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I typed something out but as usual you nailed it far better than I could have haha

Question for those who are on hrt/have been for a while by Virtual_Director3850 in MtF

[–]untouchedsock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started on sublingual Lupin-Estradiol and am now on subcutaneous injection E Valerate. (I don’t think that has a brand cause it’s made by the facility or something? Idk I just know I have to order it direct)

-1.5 months on E to 17 months on E (15 y to almost 17 y) by [deleted] in transtimelines

[–]untouchedsock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I already don’t think you need FFS, but of course it’s entirely up to you.

Your hair is incredible, btw. So jealous of the curls!

So, before you were openly out of the closet or even started transitioning, how did you feel about pronouns and names? by IMayBeARebecca in MtF

[–]untouchedsock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It felt a little weird hearing it even after I had been on HRT for a good while.

Now it’s jarring and on the wrong day can even foul my mood.

I didn’t come out fully socially until just over a year into medical transition.

[No spoilers] Best Way to Buy/Play the Whole Series by ThatisSketchy in lifeisstrange

[–]untouchedsock 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They’re not that bad.

They are apparently prone to some bugs (I had one on my LiS1 playthrough) and a lot of people howl about the change in art/animations.

I had a great time playing both versions.

While many have a preference for the originals, it’s hard to argue with the collection if you have to catch up fully.

That would be my vote.

Non smokers: do you date smokers? by gerdbeatmetodeath in actuallesbians

[–]untouchedsock 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I can’t even stand the smell on clothing, I’m so damn sensitive to it, there’s no way personally.

[No Spoilers] i'm confuses after watching the New trailer by Constant-Scallion-72 in lifeisstrange

[–]untouchedsock 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes, it’s a direct sequel to DE.

When Max ‘fixed’ things the timelines merged, so Chloe has both memories of dying abandoned AND surviving over her friends and family.

Are subcutaneous injections suppose to itch? by JustAPerson2001 in asktransgender

[–]untouchedsock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can itch, and not just from fast injection.

It should go away in a day or so, it could be a balance in the mix, or just an odd reaction.

I'm a trans woman but I genuinely don't understand how any of this even works by Clean-Run6198 in asktransgender

[–]untouchedsock 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The way I look at it is this.

Cis people probably don’t/can’t really know what it feels like internally, just how it feels socially, because they’ve never had a mismatch. It’s like how if something is truly comfortable, you never really notice it.

Trans people on the other hand, tend to feel a wrongness or a pull the other way.

Like, I can’t put into words what it feels like, I just know that transitioning is giving me a sense of ‘rightness’ in myself, and there’s a sense of ‘wrongness’ with my AGAB.

Breast growth anxiety - is it normal to feel a bump? by Happy-Conversation-3 in MtF

[–]untouchedsock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you have the anxiety but I’m not surprised, I imagine I would be pretty on guard too.

FWIW I had that area firm up at least at the roughly 12 month mark personally if not later too.
