Chaotic good computer booper. I like dogs, metal music, anarchism 🏴, woodworking, video games, vaccines, bicycles, film cameras, estradiol 🏳️⚧️, magic the gathering, and some more stuff I'm forgetting.

oh there's a good channel at www.youtube.com/transvoicele..., the art of voice feminization series playlist in particular goes over a lot of information and easy-to-start exercises

I've been looking at wiki.sumianvoice.com/wiki/pages/g... but putting off actually doing any of it by pretending "get a speech pathologist" is a secret unlisted first step

yeah I'll go have a glass too that sounds nice

yeah voice training is looming as a huge hurdle here too; luckily my state compels insurance to cover speech pathology for trans voice coaching but I know I'm still gonna have to do a lot of work if I want to talk and sing how I want

I have exactly the fear of being recognized by a stranger from my presence on the Internet and it is precisely why I do not post face

enough to understand the tool at estrannai.se is helpful and more beyond that is interesting but you shouldn't necessarily feel obligated

it slows the metabolism and can artificially increase your levels, but the interaction with other drugs can range from "causes unpredictability" to "life-threateningly dangerous"

sorry that's way less specific than I'd hoped, but yes it impacts the metabolism of estradiol

though, thinking about it, swinging is probably the wrong move even if the baby is going to make it that far because 10 pounds is like 30 baseballs so no chance can I get it out of the park

yeah I landed on een because weekly has been fine as a schedule with cypionate and the dose-test feedback cycle for eun seemed like a real hassle up front

I can sort of shortcut the explanation to "it's a formulation of estrogen that gets consumed slower so my blood levels fluctuate less between injections" and even then explaining why that's desirable might be necessary

seeing the graph for enanthate and quietly gasping and then realizing I do not have a way to finish explaining to any of my family why it's exciting in under an hour

I don't think my refusal to swing a bat at the baby is going to spare it if a pitcher threw it hard enough to reach the mound

hate shaving a lot though, the little shark skin feeling stubble is so hard to actually get rid of and it's just back in hours anyway, I wish to be and remain smooth if I'm going to all that trouble

for facial hair I keep a Henson safety razor in the shower, use my phone's front facing camera as a mirror, and zoom all the way in so I don't see everything at once while I shave with conditioner. if I go too long and need something more aggressive I have an open comb razor and shaving soap around.

also don't expect to epilate facial hair, those roots are deeper and tougher

the trimmer/razor is actually kind of dangerous, it grabbed a piece of skin while I was trying to shave with it and ripped a gouge into me about an inch across
oh, and try very hard to pull taut whatever skin you're epilating to avoid bruising and potentially scarring

I went straight for the Braun silk epil 9 with the exfoliating brush head and trimmer/foil razor head; it being waterproof matters and the changeable epilator covers are good but I could exfoliate differently and use another trimmer

the main tricks for reducing the pain are to go slower than you think you should, resisting the urge to go faster just because it stings, use it under warm water (it hurts less submerged in a bath than a shower), move against the grain, and use a trimmer before the first time

tried home sugaring but the results were patchy and the process sucked so I just bought the tweezing machine

combo of epilator, veet, and trained dissociative pain tolerance until I got overwhelmed and too busy to spend that kind of time and hairy again

I am suddenly curious if the exothermic nature of acid-base reactions becomes relevant before chemical toxicity does, but then there are non-alkaline AA batteries too

My bad experiences of boy things were basically all the normal ones: the expectation that anger and violence were the main acceptable ways to express myself but I'd better focus those impulses creatively where they won't do real harm, neckties feeling like they would strangle the life out of me, etc

I did and do take a lot of pride in my ability to care for and support people in my community, and I love the vibe of dudes rocking! I think I would have firmly rejected being "good girl"d though I would have felt weird about being "good boy"d too just because I don't trust the concept of dominance

My experience of performing masculinity and seeking role models was similar- finding my own way to do it in contrast to the destructive ways others did, and finding ways to use my strength to help ruled. Feeling inadequate at it was a part of the exploration of those things, and sucked.

I think shower and try not to think about my face is the move, it's a two hour drive so a small delay isn't a huge deal but no way can I do the whole shaving soap lather safety razor ritual

the sentiment driving its creation and the goal of its manufacture is sick as hell, the historic role it played whips ass
but on its merits as a gun it sucks

it was designed and built to suck exactly as much as it could while continuing to basically function; it is incapable of fucking. easiest sucks call I've ever made. still kind of want to take one to a range to see just how low the bar can be set.

hang on I need to get a slice and try rolling it from crust to point so I can eat it like a burrito this has potential

yeah. I have a handful of local text files I copy and paste stuff like that into and try not to read just so if I'm ever at a point where I'm doubting exactly how bad it is I've got a way to check in with reality but it's definitely bad for me to actually open them

though you're probably right that obsessively collecting news is harming you I understand the desire to maintain a record
