I think I just learned what the stereotype about trans women and stuffed animals is about
I just bought a teddy bear that's bigger than meI just had to have it and it was there I spent $10 on hopefully many years of snuggles if only teddy bear could do head pats I'd be in heaven
also I finally came out like a month ago after like 20 years of being cracked as fuck now that our current political atmosphere hates me so pls help oh god
yoooo, I have a life sized Husky plush that my mum got me because I love huskies but I can't actually look after one right now.
Its the most comfortable sleeping buddy every
I just got a full copy of my medical file from the hospital from my brief session at the emergency psychiatric ward six months ago. It's pretty crazy how many notes and details it contains. It feels pretty strange to be talked about in the third person like that but it's very interesting as well.
In any case, the reason I got a copy is that my current psychiatrist and I want to see what kind of information the Army will have access to when they perform a background check of my medical history since I'm applying for the regular forces.
Hopefully it's nothing that's going to get me blacklisted, I know that mental health is something they've actually been checking for the past couple of years.
As much as I hate being misgendered and called "sir," I do find it pretty funny when people are genuinely confused about my gender. A few days ago, I was at a store and the cashier was like "did you find everything alright... sir? ...ma'am?" She had such a confused look on her face.
Fuck did I miss the stuffed animal conversation.
I have a stuffed wolf that's pretty cool I guess. He is a good pillow.
I liked how I was talking to someone on teamspeak and someone else genuinely went:
"I don't know if that's a woman...or a man."
Biggest compliment to date.
I just got off the phone with tech support, they didn't take my name or details and so had no idea I am not a cisgirl.
They referred to me as 'ma'am' so my voice is definitely getting somewhere.
I also have a stuffed animal but he's stuffed with like, guts and stuff...
I have a 3 3/4 foot bee dressed like elvis
I used to have a stuffed bunny when I was little, and looking back I think that speaks thousands of words of who I am now
It's a shame I didn't even figure out what trans people were until my mid teens.
How long did it take you from applying to actually working with the army reserve?
I have a whole giant assortment of random plushies back at my parents, from random little ones like bees, cats, bunnies, snakes etc - all the way to a few more rare ones, and couple massive life size plushies. I still compulsively buy them from time to time...
I have a life size Sylveon and shiny Magikarp (not pictured), both of which are a lot bigger than you'd imagine...

Also I have a FFS consultation next week, eek.
In trying to get in the regular forces here in canada and that takes foverever bleh
AFAIK it's the army doing everything. It's progressing but like in the UK, enlisment in the reserves is pretty quick compared to the regular forces.
Since I'm going regular it's like a 4 month process minimum. Thankfully I did very well on the Canadian Forces Aptitude Test so I should get priority for my chosen trade (tank crewman).
This is gonna sound cliché but I'd like to become a gunnery specialist.
Hello. In 2014, I met a person from Facepunch (I had the username Solomon). In person. I had just started my job at Disney World in Florida. We hung out together several times and we'd talk on the phone every night. If you're still here on FP, I want you to know that I'm sorry for suddenly becoming a shit head out of the blue like that in the middle of our friendship. I am so very sorry. I hope you're doing well. I can't even remember your name, but I remember you had an animated avatar of that half naked fox or wolf lady with the tan skin (maybe? I don't remember completely). Maybe your name was Kari? Kara? I think it started with a K.
Several things happened that year that came to a head about a month into my working at Disney World, and it drove me off the deep end for over a year. I had to come home less than a week after that. I don't even remember most of Disney, or the year after. I still have issues stemming from that year. This is not an excuse for my behavior, but I believe you're owed an explanation. I'm sorry. I wish I could remember your name. I hope you're still here, maybe we can reconnect one day. Please have a good life, friend.
today i probably spent around 15 minutes using hair removal cream on my legs to get rid of 99% of the hair and then i spent around a full hour just getting a quite close shave with a razor for the first time ever, and spending so much time was absolutely worth it, where i got it properly done i cannot feel any hair at all, unlike the times ive shaved my legs previously. im surprised the disposable razor i used was good enough

I'm living with a lot of trans people now which is pretty cool. I'm really surprised, as well; usually when you have a huge group of trans folks, at least one person is unfortunately unstable in some way, which can prevent the space from being truly comfortable for others.... but everyone here is completely chill. I really lucked out, and I think I might be making some lifelong friends right now.
Since I'm not on anything officially right now (and haven't been for longer than I'd like), and don't want to start until I'm more... I guess financially stable is a good way to put it, someone recommended I start taking spearmint as an anti-androgen.
I'm not a big fan of tea. So I tried looking for supplements. Preferably offline, so I've gone to some different stores.
No one sells it. Elderberry, Marshmallow, Slippery Elm, Nettle, you name it they got it. Except for spearmint.
Some places that do sell tea don't even sell spearmint tea. (I didn't spend TOO long looking for tea, though).
Just for the sake of it, I also looked at some spearmint mints.
Nutrition Facts:
Per 1 mint (1.1g)
Xylitol 1.1g
Not a significan source of other nutrients.
Ingredients:
xylitol, maize dextrin fiber, natural spearmint flavoring, natural mint flavoring
Not even spearmint, "natural spearmint flavoring".
Not even spearmints have spearmint.
Guess I just have to order online.
get a spearmint plant. spearmint is so easy to grow that I'm pretty sure a block of wood is smart enough to do it
not sure if I'm scared of attempting make-up because im scared that i'll look like shit and never pass, or it'll look nice and then i'll actually have to stop repressing myself.
I have heard that there is a cosmetics store called Sephora that specifically offers makeup courses for trans women.
Also, don't put so much pressure on your first time trying makeup. I refuse to believe any girl looked gorgeous the first time they did their own makeup. It's a skill like any other. Just have some fun, experiment a little, and see how it comes out.
Remember that it's literally no reflection on your identity if you struggle a bit with something you've never done before.
Is it too late to get in on posting plush pics?

This is kind of an unusual problem and I'm not really sure what to do.
My breasts are growing fast. Way too fast. I'm absolutely not ready to come out since I feel like I really can't pass in a lot of ways, and I'm not even sure if I'm going to continue to pursue continued transition or if I'm going to decide that Ill be happier if I don't (I'm definitely leaning heavily towards transitioning, but I don't want to come out and then go 'lmao jk' to my family afterwards). I'm not really sure what to do. There's absolutely no way that I'll be able to hide these in a month or two, which is a big problem with holidays coming up (also, like, in general). Also, this is less important, but they hurt like an an absolute motherfucker if they get even lightly tapped or pressed on, and are passively pretty dang sore.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Anything I can do? Is there a way to pause breast development without stunting it later?
growing boobs hurts so its normal that they're sore. the only way to pause development is to pause treatment, unless you can handle the pain that'll come with binding.
Sounds like you're dealing with a lot of uncertainty. Although, if you're heavily leaning towards continuing your transition then it sounds like you already know what you want and the rest is just anxiety. It might aid your decision making process if you make a commitment one way or the other.
Which are you more afraid of? One possibility is that you could transition and come out, and it might be disastrous. Maybe a lot of things would change and you'd have some horribly hard times. Alternatively you could decide not to transition, but then what if you get to 55 and realize you should have done it all those years ago and your life has been a lie?
Personally I had things go about as badly as anyone could ever fear and some really awful things happened to me for a couple years, and I'd still be more afraid of the latter. I'm still really glad I became who I am when I did, despite everything.
Would it be worth potentially stunting your breast growth just to buy a few months time? Will anything actually be any different when that day comes?
And yeah they'll hurt a lot lol. I've had days where I'm like omg I'm having a heart atta-oh, no, it's my boobs. By the way, I hope your doctor has you on progesterone too. I wish someone had told me back then how we know full breast development requires progesterone, but we don't give it to trans women because we haven't researched it in that application enough. So it's kinda something you and your doctor should talk about. For me, I figure cis women have estrogen and progesterone and we have estrogen and are fine, progesterone is probably fine too.
Just rambling a bit, I hope some of this is useful to you.
I'm firmly in the camp that progesterone sure as hell can't hurt, but last study I saw came out inconclusive.
