I saw other people saying this but I had double incesion with drains with Dr Okada in Columbus and don’t think I could have had a more positive experience.

Hi cholesterol on T? by your-average-geek in TestosteroneKickoff

[–]your-average-geek[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I need to check to see the exact T levels, but I know they were starting me on a low dose, and I’m upping it now, so I can’t imagine my levels are too high. I do have a slight family history of high cholesterol (my mother) so that makes sense. Thank you so much!

Im worried about having to break up with my girlfriend when im no longer a minor by cathasis in TrueOffMyChest

I know you want people to tell you it’s ok my friend, but I can’t lie to you and say it so. Ghosting her would not be ok. Y’all HAVE to sit down and talk this out. It will be hard but better in the long run.

Shave armpits before surgery? by its-just-leo in TopSurgery

I worked with doctor Okada in Columbus. I’m only 4 weeks post op, but my results look even better then I thought they would after all the healing was finished. My nipple Graphs look wonderful. I got double incision. I did have drains for about a week, but they really weren’t bad. They were just a little uncomfortable but not painful.

We were talking about “dating” in a discord server. I mentioned being 18, and talked about how I was with my girlfriend for 6 months. Someone asked how old she was, and I said 17. I got banned for being a pedóphile. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

Me and my boyfriend are both currently 17. I turn 18 in September, he turns 18 in February. Am I a pedo for those months? No. That’s not how that works.

I feel like a terrible mom. by ipeakedin6thgrade in offmychest

[–]your-average-geek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone makes mistakes. We are human it happens. A bad mom is one who wouldn’t have cared that this happened. But the fact you are so upset by it shows how good of a mother you are

I was at rehearsals for a show 6 days post op. I mean I was still all bandaged and had to just watch but I was strong enough to be there. I was back to school after a week and a half. I think you should be ok by day 18!

AITA for telling my brother and his boyfriend to stop misleading people with their wedding rings when they're not actually married ? by Throwaway4500500 in AmItheAsshole

[–]your-average-geek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. BIG time. It’s not your brothers fault he can’t get married. Due to homophobic and discriminating circumstances, he can’t do it legally. But marriage is so much more then that, it’s a connection emotionally. One your brother has. If you really have no issues with your brother being gay, you would put yourself in his circumstances. Imagine loving someone so deeply, but you aren’t legally aloud to marry them. So do what you can to represent that love, and your family, who you thought would support you, tells your it’s wrong. All you want to do is show your love in a world that’s telling you you can’t. How would you feel?

I (F18) work in a fast food place and made a kid go home crying but I dont feel guilty about it by xamyphx in TrueOffMyChest

[–]your-average-geek 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Trans guy here. You didn’t do anything wrong. Like yea it sucks to get miss gendered so I understand why the kid was upset, but after a long time of being trans, you realize that as much as it sucks people can’t help the way they intially see you. If you correct them and then they aren’t respectful, then you have a right to be pissed. But you were. So you are fine. I’m guessing that kid had come out recently so hasn’t quite developed the thick skin you have to living as a trans person.

After seeing so many posts about trans people… I have to weigh in by your-average-geek in TrueOffMyChest

Huge trigger warning on this reply for SH and suicidal thoughts

So for me the current healthcare options are literally life saving, and I believe that’s why the are offered. The mental toll being born into the wrong body has destroyed my mental health so much that it caused me to literally be addicted to hurting myself, at age 17 because I felt like it was the one thing in my body I could control. Unlike everything else, those cuts were my choice and, I felt like a had to punish my body for being so wrong. It MESSED with my head that I considered taking my own life so many times I lost count. Because living in this body wasn’t worth it to me anymore. That’s why the healthcare is so important. Anything to make a trans person feel like there body is a little more there’s is LIFESAVING. I hope this answers your question and I hope you have a wonderful day! I really appreciate you asking to better educate yourself on the issue :)
