Eyesight on T

Hello everyone.

Did ya'lls eyesight change on T, get worse or better?

I technically got glasses as a kid, but never managed to get used to them and as a result havent been wearing glasses for the last eight years.

A few weeks ago at work I noticed I can barely see the text on the computer when I was a bit further away. I'm about six months on T, and my eyesight has been stable for a long time, so I wonder if its from the T.

I then asked my mother if I should try glasses again, but she said to maybe wait a few months until changes have settled, since eyesight can get worse in puberty, which I'm basically going through. Is that true?

Overwhelmed beginner

Hello. I want to get into doing chainmail bracelets and keychains.

​

I read a lot but I'm honestly really confused and frustrated despite reading multiple explanations and tutorials. I'm neurodivergent and struggle with decision making and get overwhelmed easily. The different metrics also make it worse. I'm from europe and use mm.

​

Can someone please just tell me a three or four kinds of rings to buy. I was planning to oder from VanAlphenStudios, are they good?

​

I want a more industrial look, nothing too dainty. And start with a few simple designs.

​

​

Thanks a lot.

My mother thinks my genitals are weird

TW: Talk about bottom growth and transphobia(?)

So I came out five years ago and my mother was very much against it at first, but quickly came around. She supported me on the process of going on T, and spoke up for me in medical settings. Still she sometimes says a few odd things but she's mostly supportive.

Anyways, a few days ago I jokingly said that feeling hot and hungry all the time are the worst effects of T. She was like "reaally?", and I said yeah, besides the health risks cis men face aswell. I was kind of confused and didnt know what she meant.

She then asked if the fact that "it could grow down there" isnt worse. And she kind of made a grimace and made it clear she thinks its weird of disgusting. I was like nope, of course not. Its basically like growing a mini penis, so thats nice.

A few days later it really began to sink in that she thinks bottom growth is disgusting, and she doesnt know obviously, but I already have a fair amount. So once again she told me my body is weird.

In the past she has also said she thinks my scars (SH) are ugly, and on a few occasions said that top surgery never has good results and doesnt look good. Which is obviously bullshit.

I'm also recovering from a ED and she knows that. I told her multiple times that I struggle with my body image and that any talk about my body could hurt my mental health, even compliments.

Should I try to tell her again that it hurt? How can I explain it to her?

I mean obviously the thought of bottom growth makes her uncomgy because she is a cis woman and imagining it on herself would give her gender dysphoria, but still she didnt have to say all that.

This is more of a rant, but any advice or just a few kind words would help.

Thank you and have a great day

Hi there

So I've seen that a few people get slightly different surgeries/goals for their topsurgery to fit their body type. For example some people leave some tissue if they have a bigger body type.

What I'm wondering is how that looks should someone gain/loose weight after surgery and if the results will no longer fit the body.

I'm myself very skinny and will get surgery as soon as I can, hopefully at the end of this year. But I'm also recovering from disordered eating and slowly gaining weight. But I'm also curious about bigger guys loosing weight after surgery and how that affected their results.

So if you have any experience with that I'd be very interested to hear or see pictures.

Thank you very much, have a lovely day
