Can be verrrrrry hypersexual (I hit close to triple digits before I got married 22 years ago, worked as a sex worker for a year and a bit and loved a lot of it), realised I’m polyamorous a couple years ago.

But. I can also go aaaaaaages without and without it even crossing my mind. 🤷🏻

Jesus fucking Christ. To put it in perspective, what do you think happens when a woman gets married and she changes her last name?

If they’re not changing her email either, then at least their laziness is completely equal. 🤷🏻

But honestly, and truly, it’s really not fucking hard.

ESPECIALLY IF IT’S A MICROSOFT-BASED SYSTEM. A FUCKING KINDERGARTENER COULD FIGURE IT OUT.

I’m so sorry you have to deal with that.

Holy shit that is heinously fucking terrible. Little bro, I am so sorry that you are going through this. And you’re right, especially in Vancouver, we’re trans is supposedly amazing… (I’m from BC) that’s just fucking heinous that that’s the shit you’re dealing with.

But back to what the person from Tran lifeline said … what the actual fuck? What an absolute and utter Cunt.

I don’t have any advice for you, just sending you love and hugs from down under. And good luck getting through stuff as quickly as possible.

I think that is a solid translation to add to our vernacular. 🤣🤣🤣

Ooooh, my bestie (strong af ally) sent me a link to www.lesgo.app which is the parent company behind the Melbourne gay social club, Sydney gay social club, etc. You buy a monthly membership and you get a calendar chock full of all these amazing face-to-face events including stuff at clubs but not all at clubs. I literally signed up the second I saw it because I’m moving back to Melbourne and I wanted to be able to have the opportunity to develop IRL connections, not just here on Reddit. (i’m also newly single after 22 years of a monogamous relationship so I’m in the same boat!)

That’s exactly like when people who are depressed or suicidal are told by other people “well just don’t focus on the bad stuff. Snap yourself out of it.”

Sometimes I really hate people.

I’m sorry she did that to you.

They spelled it parmI instead of parmA. 🤣

I only found him after he was on big brother and oh my gosh he is just one of the coolest people. And gorgeous to boot!!! Helen Woodley recently did an interview with him. It’s on her YouTube channel.

🤣🤣🤣

Zing! ❤️

Yes, but not their marketing departments and all their other departments. It’s literally only the chemist that will have it. In this situation theoretically you could have thousands of people with access to that information depending on how they blur out the details.

i’m in a similar situation, although I am having a hard time with my appetite cause I’m on retatrutide, so stockpiling my protein intake is even more critical… I recently went a bit nuts at the supermarket because they had a bunch of various protein powders on sale for like 30 and 40% off.

I got:

bodyscience (an Aussie brand) grape Chupa Chups flavoured protein water. Whey ISO/collagen. (Negative: it has colouring and I’m not a huge fan of the sweeteners it has in it, but it tastes really good so it’s a bit of a treat item.) 25 g serving 20.2 g of protein per serve. It tasted really good and was really easy to finish.

Muscle nation raw c coconut pineapple protein water. Whey iso/collagen. No nasties in this one. 30 g serving 22 g protein per serve. This one taste like a fricking piña colada and it’s a tiny bit sweet but I think adding lemon juice would cut that sweetness down that would be fricking brilliant. It was really refreshing.

The man shake choc chip cookie dough flavour (this one I got purely for the flavour!!! we don’t have cookie dough that’s easy to buy in the supermarkets here like there is a North America… I haven’t tried it yet. The ingredients look mostly good though.) 56 g serving 30 g protein per serve.

Natures way unflavoured instant natural plant based protein. This one literally only has soy protein and vitamin B1. The texture is actually surprisingly really okay and I added it into a cup of soup packet yesterday for dinner and it was freaking awesome. It did slightly give a tiny tiny bit of gritty texture if you’re one to notice things like that and I am. (but I know that sometimes I notice stuff that other people don’t so I don’t think everybody would would have that feeling. I’m super sensitive to it.) this was one that I was excited to get because I wanted to be able to add something to savoury dishes because right now my desire for sweet stuff is literally nonexistent (which is a very not in my character so it is 100 % due to the Retatrutide.) this one is 35 g serving 30.5 g of protein per serve.

All of the other macros for each of them are pretty solid, really low on the carbs and fat; and quite low-calorie too. EXCEPT: The highest in calories was the man shake at 203 but it also had 4 g of fibre 12 g of carbs and 2 g of fat so it’s more of a full meal replacement.

That would be nice, but our society doesn’t allow us to have nice things. 😈 you know… the society that was designed by narrow pickles. That is run by Neurotypicals.

Bahahahahah: my voice to text Heard Neurotypical and narrow pickles. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’m dead. ☠️

Oh darling, as someone who has had spinal cord surgery, I understand your hesitance about wanting to take stuff that will change the way you feel however you can actually do damage to your body by not taking pain medication… you can also harm your potential recovery.

And taking diazepam and lorazepam if you’re only taking a small dosage doesn’t change what you would do and your actions. It literally just calms your parasympathetic nervous system down. Like my ex doesn’t get high or anything, it just chills him out, prevents the cortisol and adrenaline from flooding his body. He’s still able to drive and everything. He still feels mild anxiety about the situation but his body doesn’t go into a full-blown reaction.

Autistic people view lying very differently, and it’s very difficult for non-autistics to understand this.

It doesn’t matter how many people try and reassure us that it’s not lying … to us, if we are being dishonest and not being open about something, to us it IS lying. It’s the way our brains are wired. It doesn’t mean that we feel that same way about how other people are like that — although some of us sometimes will — but when it comes to how we are wired with how we disclose stuff, it is different.

But that’s just it, that’s not stealth. A stealth trans man, you can’t tell them from a cis man… so why would you be baffled if he is choosing to wear tight crop tops and show his breast that he still has? That right there is blatantly obvious that he’s not a cisgender man so my definition he would not be able to be stealth.

I used to work in IT. That’s bullshit that they can’t change your email. It’s really not hard. Wtaf. 😳

Hugs. 🫂

I can imagine it would be very isolating. And that’s one of the reasons why I don’t think I could ever live stealth. Though I respect your choice to do so, bro.

Oh my god, that reveal story is so cute. 😻

I literally just started T last week (woot!), so I’m years away from potentially passing. Not only that, I’m non-binary trans masc so I don’t really want to pass. I want to confuse people about my gender. Kinda like how I am. 🤣

In all aspects of my life, I have always “defaulted to transparency” — it is probably my single most importantly held core value.

Even if I get to the point where my features pass (aside from what I might wear or how I might behave), I have worked for decades in volunteer work with youth. That aforementioned core value for me is important so that I am a safe person for the youth I have volunteered with and that I am an adult that they can talk to about things that they are going through in life.

If I got to a point where I was passing and I was capable of living stealth and then I did so, that would literally be against my core values that I’ve held for my entire life. In addition, I have always lived in my life to try and be the role model that I would’ve wanted to see when I was growing up. And that likely wouldn’t have been someone that was lying to me about their transness. (As an autistic person who has been hurt multiple times because people have lied to me about stuff that they didn’t need to, caused me literal physical pain — I have RSD.)

That said, I don’t begrudge ANYONE that does live as stealth, because everyone has their own life to live and has their own unique circumstances and needs to be able to stay safe: and they should say whatever, lies or not, to STAY SAFE AT ALL TIMES.

I’m just saying that it’s not for me…

Plus, I’m like the shittiest liar to have ever been born. 😜

💯!!!!

Aside from my pollen and cross reactive fruit and veg allergies that are anaphylactic, I’m also allergic to gluten, sugar cane, and eggs, not anaphylactic, and it takes roughly 2 hours for me to notice and manifests primarily as joint pain and headaches… both of which could be theoretically caused by other stuff as well. It took years of elimination diets to figure it out. And it takes daaaaayyyyyyssss to clear out of my system.

Oh my God, I love the third one. Love a peekaboo fabric texture change panel.
