Any advice on telling my transphobic parents I legally changed my name and I'm on T?
 in  r/TransMasc  Feb 11 '25

Hey, I'm really sorry to hear you're going through this.

I'm kinda in a similar situation where I'm currently dependent on my parents. I was actually talking to my therapist about this the other day. Our situations are different - my dad is more MAGA, my mom is super religious, and I have seen how they treated my brothers who don't stay in line. They suggested that I don't say anything.

Your parents probably have seen the mustache. They probably can hear your voice change. I bet they're like my parents and are operating on a don't ask don't tell kind of policy. Mine act like that as long as I don't directly say I'm not Christian or gay or anything else - it's fine. I wonder if it's the same for you.

It's huge that you got your name changed! Congratulations. That accomplishment shouldn't be downplayed. It sounds like it was really difficult, especially with your parents withholding your documents.

Is there anyway to delay changing all of your documents? This doesn't sound like the safest time. Or perhaps getting your phone account, if that's an affordable option for you?

You've already accomplished a lot. I hope you've been able to celebrate! I understand the urge to be honest, but you gotta put your safety first.

Lots of love!

I need help creating some horrid deli and Publix themed puns to put on custom Valentine's day cards
 in  r/publix  Feb 11 '25

Ok Im recovering from a brain injury, no promises on how good these will be haha

  • do you need me to stay late? Because my heart is going into overtime for you
  • hot food only gets four hours - but my love stays warm forever
  • the kitchen is hot but my love for you is hotter

I feel like there's something there with getting burnt by hot oil but my brain isn't connecting it. Or maybe something about always helping grab stuff out of the freezer? Everyone in my deli hated that task.

Good luck! Love that you're not using AI

Testosterone for "women": a guide
 in  r/ftm  Feb 11 '25

Holy shit, this will totally work for me. I'm demisexual and I've told them I don't want to be fixed but I could make this work. Thanks!!!

Remember this shit?
 in  r/Exvangelical  Feb 01 '25

In college my boyfriend took me on a date to see this movie and halfway through I pretended my mom had called and told me to come home.

I was a dedicated Christian, who went to church twice a week, saving myself for marriage, Christian group on campus, etc etc. Even I knew it was bad.

Got shit on for naming myself Ash
 in  r/ftm  Jan 30 '25

Ash is a great name! My cousin's stepdad is named Ash and even though he divorced her mom he stayed in her life. It's the name of a man who steps up. Tell the haters to fuck off

I wish people understood this
 in  r/ChronicPain  Jan 26 '25

I just had a head/neck injury from a workplace incident. We're still waiting to hear from a neurologist about the full extent of the damage. Just had 3 good days, now paying for it. Typing this while my phone is on grayscale and dim hurts. But I've been "resting" all day - I get bored! Wish there was something I could do to keep my brain occupied but NOT too occupied

No cold meds without date of last menstrual cycle
 in  r/TwoXChromosomes  Jan 12 '25

I'm on the depo shot, no period, haven't been with anyone in almost a year - I've started telling them I'm on my period every time. They won't test you and they drop the subject pretty quick

Damn. I just wanted to change my name and got my ass dumped. A response like this would have been nice.

What did you do with your wedding band?
 in  r/Divorce  Nov 26 '24

Mine was handmade, by my ex husband. It feels like he was a different person when he made it. Maybe because I'm not yet a year out, I'm not ready to throw anything away. I've just started to cut up some wedding photos for art pieces. But it feels like the rings represent who he was, who I remember him to be, and so I'm still holding on to that

Is my face kinda androgynous??? My voice gives away my gender irl but I'm curious how I come off otherwise lol. I'm 23
 in  r/androgyny  Nov 23 '24

It does, I'll look at how people style their eyebrows to guess. I think maybe AMAB? it's very androgenous it's hard to tell wish it were me my dude haha

How much are you spending on food monthly?
 in  r/budget  Oct 19 '24

Just bumped up my budget to $200 a month - groceries, eating out, coffee, etc

I'm anemic so when I got a pay raise I immediately budgeted for nicer and more high iron foods. With my iron pills I'm really starting to feel a difference. Plus an on sale steak every now and again is super nice haha

1 person in South Carolina, MCOL (from what I can tell)

Fundie Q&A except nothing less than fundieness
 in  r/Tradfemsnark  Sep 26 '24

Idk if this is a real connection but raising maidens reminded me of a devotional I read as a young teen - raising maidens of virtue. The devotional also espoused and idealized the simple rural life, submitting to your husband, cooking every meal.

I have a vaginal pimple. This is a sick joke played by a cruel uncaring god
 in  r/TwoXChromosomes  Sep 16 '24

I get those too! My obgyn has me use an antiseptic soap three times a week on my nether regions. I haven't had one since.

As to your current situation - I would see a doctor. If that becomes abscessed the pain will become 10x worse.

Hopefully you heal up soon!!

i hate MY birth name!!!
 in  r/namenerds  Sep 02 '24

Just my 2 cents, I also didn't like my given name or my nickname and have chosen to go by Artie, short for Artemis. Some people call me Art which I'm cool with too. I loved the Greek goddess Artemis as a child and now love how the nickname versions are gender neutral.

Go for what feels right for you! I "tried on" a bunch of different names before landing on Artie.

Should an employee ever admit to an employer that they suffer from anxiety and depression?
 in  r/publix  Aug 25 '24

In my experience, it has helped me to share.

BUT, that is because I take medication for panic attacks and I need to take it when I feel highly anxious. So my managers, who I felt out first before telling, know that I have medication I need to take in the moment.

I didn't disclose how my anxiety and depression started, I don't really want to. What they need to know from me is what's going to help me work: aka my meds.

This also allows me to have my medication closer to me than maybe other coworkers would - I also get to keep some snacks nearby so I can have something on my stomach while I take my pills. All of this could be backed up by a doctor, but no one has asked for a note.

I'm tired of there not being a simple noun for us!
 in  r/NonBinary  Aug 16 '24

I didn't read the whole post and I've had too much cough medicine today but I immediately thought of nonbinareon. Try that one on for size

How does this fit into your department?
 in  r/publix  Aug 05 '24

I fucking wish 😭😭😭

I like opening and closing kitchen - those parts aren't insane. But once it's just me and everything needs to go out RIGHT NOW its too much. We keep asking for a second person

His email account was on my phone, as he had a dumb phone and I have a smartphone. I saw it as soon as he paid for Tinder.

Before that, he had been detached, which I assumed was due to us planning a big move. Chalked it up to normal moving stress.

He had been writing characters falling in love and really focusing on how they fell in love, which felt strange. But I just thought he was really getting into his writing and expressing himself.

Honestly super blindsided on my part. But maybe I didn't want to see it. If I hadn't seen the email with confirmation of payment, I wouldn't have believed it. If I hadn't then catfished him and seen he was seriously trying to date, I wouldn't have believed it.

I hope this isn't the case for you. But I'm still sorry you're having to deal with this ❤️
