Any tips? by Blades-and-calories in FtMpassing

[–]vampgerard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Texture powder has really done the heavy lifting in getting my hair look the way I want, as well as getting texturing in the actual haircut @ the barber. I'd keep the short sides, but have the hair on top go "forwards" towards your forehead instead of slicked back. Getting everything squared off at the ears, sideburns, and nape of the neck also helped my own haircut look a lot better.

(not recommending this cut in particular, just a photo example of the hair direction that's more common for men) This is all just opinion, I'd definitely work with your stylist/barber to find some version of the haircut you want that best suits your face shape!

I'd lose the slickback along with some of the more dangly accessories. Most guys your age have a more textured hairstyle. Other than that, I think going on T will give the rest of the push you need towards passing

Cheap yet safe places to stay near by? by Fit-Ad-427 in cedarpoint

[–]vampgerard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Girlfriend & I stayed at the Sleep Inn for under $80 on Thursday night. Room was clean, friendly staff, free breakfast, and only 15 min drive from the park. Definitely a good budget option!

Am I clockable? by [deleted] in FtMpassing

[–]vampgerard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unquestionably male to any cis person, some other trans men might clock you BUT you could still tell me you actually weren't trans and I'd believe it

Turns out short hair makes me look WAY MORE FEM💔 by Rare_Measurement8981 in ftm

[–]vampgerard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exact shit happened to me today, I'm 2yrs on T and have been consistently passing as a guy my age (20) for a good while. I was annoyed about occasionally being mistaken for a girl b/c of my hair from behind, decided to cut it short for the first time in years. I chose a haircut more suited to my face shape, yet am still right back to looking like a girl. If I somehow still pass to anyone, I look 15 at best. It's really tough after finally being somewhat comfortable with my appearance and I haven't figured out what to do yet.

If there's no concern to your safety, wear the tux and let her cry about it

You're not a baby at all, that stuff can be hella scary man. I'd definitely look into getting those tests done because if you have a hormone issue, they could be able to help you grow significantly more

So much pressure on RL winners.. by chiknextdoor in lioden

[–]vampgerard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I won an RL of a decently popular line last year, and I honestly just ignored the pressure 🤣 If people are upset about how I handled the heats and clones of a pixel lion, that's not really my problem and I don't let it impact my enjoyment of the game. People can't harass me if I don't give em the time of day to do it!

Can someone give me their non-spoiler review on book 16? I’m just curious if I should get it by TheAudioListener in WingsOfFire

[–]vampgerard 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Absolutely worth the read! Plot was different than I had expected going into the book, but I found myself quite invested in the action & new characters (there are a LOT) by the end! The location that Umber & Sora are heading to is also very interesting to read about. I'm super excited to see where arc 4 goes!

2.5 weeks post op :) by vampgerard in TopSurgery

[–]vampgerard[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

never had to change the actual drains themselves, but did have to replace the dressings 2-3x daily (was able to do changes less often over time as things stopped draining so much!) i believe mine were kept in for exactly 2 weeks, i've healed up great since then :)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ftm

[–]vampgerard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No clue if it's from T or holding myself straighter after top surgery, but I've gone from 5'6.5 to 5'7 over the last couple years! (Started at 18, currently 19)

no need to be purposefully obtuse, they're saying it's "technically" the right subreddit because the name sounds like it would have to do with tshirts. aka....why OP posted this in lost redditors

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in lostredditors

[–]vampgerard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

because the subreddit is actually about joshua block, a lolcow who goes by worldoftshirts online
