Like, would a (cis) man or woman be able to tell that it’s not a natal penis? I’m mostly talking about hookups, so it’s not like this person would be seeing it a lot.

Like the title says. I’m looking for information on Buddha/Buddhisms position on materialism , specifically direct quotes from Buddha teachings.

I’m going into tenth grade this year, and I’m gonna be presenting as male. This is a new school, but these kids have known each other for at least a year, but generally longer as it’s a K-12 school. Most people probably won’t know I’m trans because I’m cis passing, although unfortunately there are a few kids who know me from before I transitioned. All of that being said, I was wondering if you all have any advice on making friends with guys? I know it’s not like men and women are different species, and as a kid I generally had an easier time making friends with guys than with girls, but after we all hit puberty (and I was still closeted) I felt kind of forced to change my personality in order to more easily make friends with women. Now that I’m out, I’m a bit worried I’ll act like that around guys and come across as very strange. I’m also not that socially adept in general. I’m a bit introverted and kinda awkward, although I’ve worked on it a lot. Are there any specific things I should do / not do in order to make connections on the first few days?

I am extremely passionate about documentary filmmaking, and filmmaking in general. I shot a 20 minute (scripted) film earlier this year, and I have been antsy waiting to find something else to shoot. I’d really like to shoot a short documentary of some kind, but my options are sort of limited. My parents will drive me places, but I myself do not have a car. I am also in a fairly rural place, and although I can drive to the nearest city, it’s no LA. Additionally, I am very young and have minimal experience, and I’m not sure people will be interested in giving any of their time to be interviewed by someone my age. I know I need to find a story that interests me, and I’m by no means asking for people to give me ideas, but rather asking where I might find interesting subjects, given my situation. I’ve thought about going to conventions and fairs, but I’m not sure what the rules regarding cameras are there, and like I said, I sort of doubt most people will be willing to participate in a documentary made by a highschooler. Please let me know if any of you all have experience with this, or can give me any words of wisdom.

I pass almost 100 percent of the time, but I suspect part of that is because I dress very plainly and very traditionally masculinely (dark jeans / sweats and black band tees and hoodies). Recently I’ve been interested in expanding my style and being more open with my queerness (I am gay.) but I do NOT want people to know that I am trans / be obviously trans. I don’t have a problem with these people, but there is a genre of trans man that dresses very flamboyantly (think tucked in Hawaiian shirts + very tacky amazon jewelry / belts), and it severely hinders their passing, and I don’t want that to be me. Plenty of cis gay men, though, wear earrings and shorter shorts and more effeminate clothing, which is sort of what I’m going for. So anyway that’s why I ask, how can I be visibly queer without being visibly trans? Is it possible Pre-T?

I’m looking to find a top surgeon that will perform surgery under 18 (USA), and most doctors do not advertise this, although will do it under certain circumstances. Would it be rude to call or email just straight up asking, “do you do surgeries under 18, and if so, what are your requirements in order to be eligible?” Sorry if this is a stupid question, I don’t have any experience doing things like this lmao.

I sent a ticket this time on the third, and have yet to get a response. Until I get a response, I’m unable to send a payment, and I’ve already been sent a reminder by steroiidify to send my payment. How long is normal for a ticket to take to respond, before I should be concerned? Have ticket response times been slower recently?

Like if I get my sex marker and name legally changed prior to applying to college, would there be any reason for me to disclose during my application or anything that I’m transgender?
