Leg cramps can be fun, but not when trying to sleep. I had some problems with those night cramps when starting spiro - one night I couldn’t just walk it out, so I had to drink water if I wanted to sleep (I did try to sleep while just ignoring the cramp, but that wasn’t successful). Made me kinda glad my brain often seems to discards pain signals. Fortunately, haven’t had night cramps in the last few months.
Today is gonna suck for Mexico
Have you tried being dehydrated when you go to sleep? /j
Are you sure you don’t have any other sleep issues preventing deep sleep (such as sleep apnea)? Granted, 200mg/day sound like a lot, so doesn’t seem that unexpected to need to pee at night if you are staying hydrated.
I don’t wake up with an election anymore
One of the most common side effects of transfem HRT: becoming dictators within a year.
A bit of a YMMV thing, as with a lot of effects, and likely depends on what anti-androgens you use. Mine pretty much stopped within a week of starting spiro.
Detransitioners who retransition perhaps don’t get enough attention relative to detransitioners as a whole.
You could just try it out and find out. Personally, I don’t think my sexual thoughts have changed since starting HRT. I just don’t get erections or horny for no reason. I have no interest in pregnancy personally. Granted, I’ve never been interested in sexual relations IRL.
Can’t actively dislike any of the matrix movies if I never watch them.
Personally, I just use tucking underwear and no tape and had been long before starting HRT. I don’t think random erections were too much of a problem, just a little uncomfortable. But I tucked because it was comfy, not because I was wearing clothes that required it typically, so not sure how that would effect the look of a particularly tight clothing? I don’t think it was a problem though.
Kinda curious why you feel the attachment to the woman label. Imo, gender only exists to be restrictive, so I don’t want anything to do with it. But I’m amab - there’s no reason for camaraderie there.
Some of the mismash of questions might be more a result of requests by other users and the order may simply be in order they were requested or something like that. I wouldn’t put to much analysis into that kind of thing.
What if they actually think you are a deergirl instead of puppygirl?
Nice! Lotion is too expensive. Especially when you need to apply it multiple times a day just to have almost normalish skin.
In high school, I used to be afraid to use lotion around others, so my skin suffered from it. One time a female friend suggested I use lotion and I was too embarrassed to mention I already did. Now I have like 5 different lotions/ointments just at my work desk (a few I rarely use) and I use them multiple times a day at work (and multiple times at home).
Its already been 6 years since the first 100TB SSD released and I still don’t think anyone has bothered to dethrone it last I checked. Density and number of layers possible have both increased since then. I imagine part of it is just a performance issue though; 10 10TB SSDs are gonna be faster than 1 100TB SSD.
At the consumer level, the usage of smaller form factors will probably mean more density will still be useful. Things like the steamdeck drives will benefit for a while.
Fucking cis people never have to deal with any of this shit.
Not all cis women are consistently gendered correctly; some are frequently misgendered - unfortunate some cultures seem to give higher weight to signals of being male than being female and misogyny means that misgendering men is seen as being worse (or more dangerous) than misgendering women. But cissies still get the benefit of generally having absolute confidence in their gender that makes it easy to just laugh at people who misgender them. Meanwhile, trans people typically grow up in an environment that teaches people to mock trans people and is dismissive of our gender. So it’s still totally different, but it’s not something all cis people are total strangers to dealing with either. Especially as transphobes have started targeting cis people they perceived as being trans.
Damage from 1st puberty sucks. Hopefully we can get to a point where fewer people have to go through that at least.
I call dibs on being mini-pikablue.
If I don’t already have water, it’s annoying having to find my cup (which might require turning on a light), go to the kitchen to refill (which requires dealing with the fridge light), and then try to fall back asleep after that. I’m generally not good at falling asleep, so if I can avoid getting up or turning on lights, the better chance of falling back asleep quickly. Getting up like that might cost hours of sleep time.
