The shell is insanely tough. These don't break even under car wheels. I think those are black walnuts??
Any advice on where to begin? I've never done this before
OK, I'm a pre-T and pre-top surgery transmasc.
I just find myself having mixed feelings about this whole thing. Like, I'm so used to thinking that I'm hot as a girl, and I know how to present myself in this way. I only feel attractive when I present myself in a feminine way during more intimate moments, if that even makes sense. Even though I know I'm a boy, sexual side of things has me worried here because I've only learned how to perceive myself as attractive as a girl, specifically for my chest.
I think I'm just scared that I'll turn into an ugly guy if i transition??? Maybe it's the way I was raised that affects how I see my body, I don't know. Does anyone else feel the same way here?
It's really difficult to put my feelings into words, so I apologize in advance if this is was bit confusing.
TL;DR; : My friend's bf is a creep and I need advice on how to make her see that without losing her.
I am not sure if this is the right sub to look for help in, but I'm at my wits' end atp.
They started dating a year ago, she was 16 at the time, and he was 24. Even in the beginning, I was kinda uncomfortable with the age gap, but genuinely hoped that this relationship wouldn't last. Unfortunately, I was proven wrong. The longer I hung out with her and this dude (let's call him Ben), the more I disliked him. Ben is rude, unfunny most of the time, and keeps making things awkward since most things he says are very out of pocket. Keep in mind that our whole friend group's age ranges from 16 to 19, so no wonder he doesn't fit in, which should've been her first sign that Ben wasn't that good of a choice. But since I'm here telling you this, it wasn't one, unfortunately.
As more time passed, our whole friend group slowly comes to a conclusion that Ben is weird and we do not like him at ALL. We've tried bringing it up a few times gently, telling her (I'll refer to her as Jane) that the age gap was weird. I asked Jane specifically why she thought that he didn't go for a girl his age, and Jane said that "we have a lot in common". Now what the hell a 24 y.o. dude could have in common with a 16 y.o? It's creepy, and I think he's a pedo.
Mind you, my other friend brought it up before, straight up pointing it out too, albeit less gently, saying that Ben was a predator if he found someone Jane's age attractive romantically. That led to Jane blowing up on him, and now she gets all irritated around that other friend.
So, here I am, in desperate need of your advice on how to bring this up again without losing a dear friend. And is there even a way to do it? I care for her deeply, and this is clearly unhealthy and dangerous. I do not wanna see Jane get hurt by that creep.
Edit: age of consent in my country is 16. Yes, her parents know about this relationship and yes, they support it bc they themselves have an even bigger age gap. Just specifying so I can stop repeating it
I always thought they were green til I saw someone on here do it and decided to try that too. Wtf do I even call that color, help :')
