I agree completely. I have a 2009 that I got second hand, just passed 7 years and I’ve only had minor repairs in addition to regular maintenance.
One caveat - if you have to park on the street, invest in a cage for your catalytic converter. Mine and literally everyone else I know who has a Prius had theirs stolen. That’s the biggest expense I’ve had with mine.
I’m right there with you. I’m actively trying not to have sex with anyone and the game makes it hard just to talk to them sometimes, and even then the ‘non-horny’ option is often borderline horny or could be a double entendre.
[he/him] I’m sorry if this is the wrong place to ask; I wanted to post in an active, trans people-focused community where I’d get answers that were for sure going to lead to a place that align with my values. Feel free to delete this but please explain to me if it’s offensive so I can correct my behavior going forward....
I’m trans and work in Healthcare, and I often just queer as a catch all phrase instead of using the whole acronym. It’s easier to say and most queer folk are not offended by it.
That being said, I try to use the specific group names when I am personally talking to patients, as I think it’s empowering to hear them in a way that doesn’t assign normative value.
I think I weighed like 180-200lbs when I started and honestly I feel like my transition has been useless because of this and I should of been denied hrt. And I look super ugly
I’m sorry you’re feeling this way about your transition and the results. It’s really common to have periods of dysphoria as you move through your journey, and you’re still very early in it. You won’t get the full effect for about 3-5 years, and some people say they still see effects past this point.
As far as your dosage and levels, they sound like they are in a good place. Doing 2mg/3x day is definitely a good thing to try! Having your hormone levels more consistent should help. You can also try using patches instead of pills (if you’re able to switch). Patches have the most consistent release, with less of the peaks and troughs you get with pills or injections (which could be another way to go, if you’re ok with needles).
For your weight, 180-200 is completely ok, especially if you’re taller! What matters is your blood levels, and if you’re at 180 and 12, you are showing good T suppression, and your E levels are solid. Lots of trans girls are taller and bigger than the averagecis girl - I was 5’11" and about 180 when I transitioned, and I had good effects from HRT. I had a similar hormone regimen, and I changed from twice a day to three times during my second year before changing to injections my third year. How I look post year three is super different! You aren’t anywhere near done yet.
Finally, it takes a long time for girls to figure out their clothes, hair, and makeup. Give yourself time to figure it out, and remember that we are often your own worst critics. You are valid and loved no matter how you look.
I did acrylic nails for the first time, and I can barely stop looking at my hands! It’s amazing how much more feminine they look with just a little extra length
Honestly, that’s probably just your self perception. I always think my hands look masculine, but none of my cis female friends think so. We are often our own biggest critics.
That’s why I bought it (and I loved the first game way back when). The game play is fantastic with a ton of content. Story and characters aren’t my cup of tea, but I imagine it appeals to what a lot of people like about dnd. That being said, it’s the first game in years I’ve played and then suddenly realized it’s 2am.
I used the CeraVe one for quite a while because I thought it was the best, and then I tried the Cetaphil one because it was on sale and: I like it way more! I think the high petrolatum content is what is so great for my skin!...
