How'd you know what you were?

Throughout my life i constantly switched back and forth between the labels, and never could exactly figure out what I am, but before i settled on just not using a label, and thinking of myself as "a transmasc person who is into everyone that isnt men". However recently, i realized, that a lot of me not being into men was just because, im transmasc, and that if i imagined myself as someone who is very visibly a dude (im pre everything at the moment, so currently i look like an androgynous girl at most) then i really wouldnt mind being with a guy either. So i just for some time stayed at "alright im bi then". However, ever since, i couldnt help but notice that i also havent had much interest in women ever since i started imagining myself as this more masculine persona, and everything just been getting more and more confusing. So, if anyone can share a story how they figured it out, especially if that person also had it go hand in hand with gender identity, then id be really thankful

is there any option i have other than waiting it out when im a minor and cant afford hrt?

in my country, getting hrt as a minor is only possible when youre either eighteen or have parental consent. i unfortunately doubt my mom would agree to it, she accepts me but she is the "but are you SURE" type, and she would be too scared of it. i cannot get it through most diy sites ive seen because i do not have enough money and most of them dont ship to my country (poland) anyway. its not that its extremely expensive, but you know, money values differ between countries so it is still much for someone like me who gets all of their money through pocket money and gifts i know that theres probably nothing i can do and i cant just get things for free but if theres ANY cheaper option that isnt just getting it legally please let me know, i feel so helpless

idea for a word trans guys can call each other (like trans women have it with dolls)

dolls are toys for children, generally for girls. that said, trans guys should probably be called my toys marketed towards boys. so i got the idea of "hot wheels" (example: protect the hot wheels)
if a guy is ugly you can call him just a wheel

have you considered its just a phase?

i mean, every teenager has their phases, dont they?? even if your older, people change all the time, its nothing serious. oh you want to kill yourselves because of not being able to have the body you want? then maybe see a therapist? im sure youre just depressed, not, eugh, "transgender". not being able to transition is actually CAUSING the problems that make you need therapy, not the other way?? um. have you considered that is not true.

how do i voice train without it sounding forced?

im transmasc, and i try to voice train, but whenever i manage to get it to not sound like a girl, it sounds extremely forced. if anyone has any tips to make it sound more natural and more like just a guy it would be very helpful. to be clear i am pre everything

also, if anyone has any sites or apps that could help me with voice training that would be helpful too (voicetools for some reason doesnt work for me)

Yeah its all just platonic pal behaviour (second picture for reference of how the characters are in the manga)

it feels important to mention that the panel from the second picture also references an in canon story about lovers

How can i pass better with piercings?

ive been recently very insecure about not looking masc enough, and i saw a lot of people saying that piercings make passing a lot harder. i wore earrings since i was 8 and its something that just feels very "me", as stupid as that may sound. I dont want to free myself from being a woman just to fall into the cage of not doing the things i like just because theyre too feminine. If anyone can say if its really so hard to pass with piercings, or what specific kinds are more masc, id gladly listen.
to be clear i have no facial piercings, just few in ears

Recs for games like sims but actually good?

I played a lot of the sims 4. i have 365 hours on it. which isnt an award beating number, but it is a lot. and the thing with this game, is that it gets sooo boring after playing it for a while. i make the sims, they get jobs, i build them a house, but not only does it get boring after doing it for the tenth time, but i also never find much fun in doing whatever else later, especially since i constantly have them screaming about some need that makes me unable to have fun with anything else in the game. i also have no dlcs because that costs a lot and well id prefer to not spend too much money. if anyone has any recommendations, or even mods that make sims more fun, then id be very thankful

Where do i start?

I really want to get into customizing dolls, (i really like the monster high ones, theyre very pretty but im generally open to anything) but i know absolutely nothing about it. if anyone has any tips, places where i can buy them for not a very big price, stuff i can use for it, then id be really helpful. i have some sewing and art experience, so im okay with that, mostly just i dont have any resources.

if you have a shrine, what did you put on it?

heya!! i really want to create little shrines for these characters i like, and well, i dont particularly yume them, but i figured yumeshippers would know a lot about this. if anyone has any pictures of shrines, or merch of their f/os in general, i would love to see it for inspiration (or just because seeing people love these characters so much is a bit moving)

What bags/backpacks were used in the 17th century?

i apologize if this is not the best place to ask, but im a writer and im trying to create a character in a world that is loosely based on the 17th century (specifically late 17th century, maybe the start of the 18th century too. generally around the 1690s). im trying to figure out what bags/rucksacks/backpacks/anything of the kind were used back then, especially in pirate and sailor circles. any help will be very appreciated

My motherboard isnt connecting to my displays

Id like to start with the fact that im not very knowledgeable about computers, so if any of this is a stupid question, then please just answer it instead of calling it stupid (as a lot of people on reddit do)
I once accidentaly disconnected my monitor from my motherboard (aside from very occasional glitches that were probably just because of the cable falling out or something like that, it was working completely fine before) and ever since i havent been able to connect anything. I updated my drivers, tried a different cable, tried a different monitor, but nothing is working. I dont know what to do now
