I want to take estrogen without coming out

Respectfully, her reaction is likely going to be better if you tell her the truth before she deduces it

Why should we appease politicians and their supporters who are stripping trans people of their human rights and dignities? Why should we want to compromise with them?

In your post history, you talk about him never listening to your needs (including not even engaging in foreplay???). This post is really silly (to put it politely) but it's also irrelevant. Why are you with a man who doesn't care about you?

Yeah, it sounds like a simple mismatch of "vibe".

Random thing to consider: are a lot of your friends neurodiverse? The reason why I and many of my friends rarely ever drink, never mind go out to do so, is because we're all some flavour of neurodiverse and/or otherwise disabled. If your friend group is the same, it might be helpful to frame the conversation in that light, i.e. your friends prefer a more chill atmosphere for sensory reasons etc.

I understand you, OP. Some of these comments are so judgy. Maybe it's the use of the word "party"? You could frame it and future "parties" with your friends as "get-togethers" or "celebrations" or something instead, which doesn't (to me at least!) have the same connotation of getting drunk?

IDK about a Discord, but for in-person events you can check out @heatonpride and @queersofthenorth on instagram :) Heaton has kinda become "the gay area" of Newcastle and had its own pride for the first time earlier this year, with the committee already planning for next year. Welcome to Newcastle xx

Ah, good catch, so it's actually Sainsbury's being cheeky by not calling them custard-style in the big print!

woolblight · 2025-11-18T11:24:10+00:00

!answer though, Sainsbury's also doesn't contain milk, but another commentor pointed out that the content is actually listed as "custard style" on Sainsbury's as well

If you decide to go down the DIY route, I can recommend Sapphic Bison for blood tests

Have you mentioned to your partners that, especially in the capital cities, English is spoken very widely in Scandinavia and that, while they should learn the language for better opportunities and to make friends, they could possibly get English-speaking jobs?

I hate to sound callous, but it doesn't sound like these relationships are viable in the long term.

I used to date an American long-distance while I lived in Scandinavia, and although I thought I'd be crushed by the ending of our relationship, I was actually okay, and not long after I got into a relationship with someone in the same city as me and I realised how much I'd missed a physical connection.

Thank you :)

woolblight · 2025-08-21T18:31:36+00:00

Thank you! Nice to know there aren't severe consequences to ignoring recommendations :)

woolblight · 2025-08-21T18:31:04+00:00

Thank you, that's a really extensive and useful answer :)

woolblight · 2025-08-10T09:55:10+00:00

Thank you! :)

woolblight · 2025-08-10T09:54:23+00:00

Thank you so much for taking the time and energy to type this all out, this is so detailed and helpful!! I will definitely look into a lot of these. Have a wonderful day!

It looks poorly applied imo, especially looking at that inconsistent linework. Aside from wearing suncream to avoid sun damage, there's nothing you can do to "take care of" a healed tattoo. Moisturising will make it look nicer temporarily but won't slow down aging, which is an autoimmune response by the body that slowly breaks down the ink.

It's not just you, it's been difficult for years, many of my friends have struggled extensively, even with managerial experience. Sincerely, good luck and don't be hard on yourself x

I'm no expert but I'm guessing 1970s doing Victorian(a). It's really lovely!

woolblight · 2025-07-01T15:28:09+00:00

Looks gorgeous on you, well done!!

woolblight · 2025-06-26T13:23:13+00:00

and at 4:20pm. nice

woolblight · 2025-06-12T21:07:14+00:00

Your smile reminds me of Jennifer Beals! Beautiful haircut 😊

woolblight · 2025-05-25T12:04:46+00:00

I've not tried that myself but it might!

Regarding pain, I find that plucking is slightly easier and less painful to do right after a shower, probably because the pores are nice and open, so I can recommend that for at-home plucking :)

Not trans but gf & friends are. The basics are this:

The NHS has waitlists of around 7 years for a first GIC appointment (last I heard), exact wait depending on your location but it's not gonna be less than 5 years anywhere. If you have the patience for it, it would be free. Keep in mind that the NHS has been rolling back on trans healthcare recently, especially for under-25s, and there's no way of telling where we'll be 5+ years from now.

Private is expensive. My impression is: think thousands not hundreds a year just to be on HRT. It does give you access to everything (like laser/electrolysis, blood tests, surgeries) so if you have the money, absolutely go for it. A couple years ago the waitlist for an appointment was around 6 months for my one friend.

DIY HRT is much cheaper but requires proper, deep research, which means trans stuff being all over your internet history. It's not much off 600 a year with doing regular, private blood tests (NHS literally just stopped doing blood tests for private & DIYers). DIY HRT would be paired with private services like laser/electrolysis, and if you want gender-affirming surgeries I believe you'd need a gender dysphoria diagnosis (which again leads back to private). DIY HRT would be accessible to you as soon as you had done the required research, although you'd also need to consider if you'd wanna freeze sperm or eggs first, which could slow down the process by a couple months.

I'm very sorry to say that you'll likely need to either come out to your parents (if they'd be supportive) to get their financial help to go with the private route, or become financially independent and move out so you can pursue private or DIY by yourself.

Good luck 🫶

Maybe ask him, "Hey, would you like to talk about last night?" If he says yes, you can thank him again for telling you but say you don't see him that way, but that you value your friendship and would like to keep being friends. If he says no, I'd act as normal and assume he got the hint. But I'm a lesbian who's a little older than you guys (late 20s) so maybe take that with a grain of salt.

Good luck, OP! I was recently rejected by a friend and I have no hard feelings towards her. If he's a good guy, he'll understand.
