Transitioning with PCOS
  • wander wander 1y ago 100%

    Fair point, ty that is what is hard is hrt tends to be super specific per person, and then pcos is similar so was worried , but just finding good provider then sounds important

  • Hii I'm nonbinary but I do want to look more masc. But I recently found out I have PCOS (Its not 100% confirmed by my PCP still waiting to see gynecologist for more treatment + confirming for sure). What I was wondering is does anyone else have experience doing T (I probably want to mircodose) with PCOS? I'm asking because I'm worried that now its not a possibility at all for me with how messed up my hormones have been and that once I get them stable doing T would mess with it all too much, and wanted to see if anyone has any ideas?

    How did you parents take you coming out?
  • wander wander 1y ago 100%

    I think for sure my parents comes from some part of their strongly Christian upbringing or something like that. Where queer people are fine, but then also imagining also having your kid be queer is too much? Either way still doesn't make sense and has hurt my relationship significantly with them. Especially considering I plan on moving in with my girlfriend at some point

    They were "supportive" but when it comes to actual support they avoid it. When I mentioned ace and aro they dismissed it saying I'll grow out of it. Been told my whole life we will love you whoever you love and whoever you are. I've had two relationships in secret :/ when I came out as non-binary it was forced and wasn't meant to happen. Don't remember what but they misgender me because "it's too hard" to switch between they/them at the house and she/her with extended family -_- as if I don't do that constantly. That and actively making fun of my name. They constantly talk about how queer rights matter but won't actually support their queer kid. I'm so ready to move out. It's bizarre I don't get it

  • Why do you personally prefer using an Android phone?
  • wander wander 1y ago 100%

    Love the flexibility tbh. If I want to switch manufacturers my OS is the same Also much cheaper + I just love the app selection and the ability to put my own apps on here.

    iOS is too restrictive for me and too expensive tbh. The ability to switch default apps is amazing. That said this is just for me tbh

    Undetermined Posts Not Showing on Some Communities
  • wander wander 1y ago 100%

    Adding on I think something else is going on since I cannot see my own posts on my profile, but I can see my comments fine. I've tried resetting the languages and saving the settings to English and Undetermined, but still can't see it. If I log out or go to the link directly I can see it fine

    Undetermined Posts Not Showing on Some Communities

    This is really odd but I have both English and undetermined selected and saved but on some communities I can only see the English posts but not the undetermined ones when im logged in. Odd thing too is I get "undetermined_language_warning" Am I doing something wrong or is it on the community?

  • Venting about the general lack of support for neurodivergent adults.
  • wander wander 1y ago 100%

    Its so frustrating finding out about a symptom I'm struggling with, and I try to look it up and its all aimed at kids. Even if its all targeted at kids, those kids will grow up and become adults, and still have the same issues and I don't understand why.

    I think you're right with the whole grow out of it thing. It fundamentally won't for any of my ND stuff, I will just get better over time at managing, but its hard to do that when there's no support. It's like the phrase "stop making autism your whole personality", no I cannot do that because fundamentally it affects everything.

    TLDR: I agree and I hate how resources are aimed at NTs despite the fact that we are autonomous adults, and even then kids need to feel like you understand and aren't just talking at them.

    Damn I would have loved to see that lol. Then again yeah hard to find info. Would be interesting to run surveys since seems like next best way. Like how many queer people know about blahaj and how many have one, and so forth

    I have felt so much safer here and comfortable. I think staying here has been best, both because based url, but also I love having a queer focused space. I feel much less exposed. I know some people might come in, but having a no transphobia policy feels so much better considering the amount of causal transphobia I used to see in some of my communities even if they were meant to be "Safe". I also love the discussions here and so far feels so much less cliquish and open

  • Does anyone else here struggle with dyscalculia?
  • wander wander 1y ago 100%

    This sounds like me so much. I was one of those kids who loved reading and was reading way above my level but couldn't write for shit. Same with the analog vs digital, doesn't matter how much I practice it still takes me a solid 30 seconds to do all the "math" in my head to read analog unless I use it regularly. I swear the more I hear from other neurodivergents, the more I go, wait a second...

  • Does anyone else here struggle with dyscalculia?
  • wander wander 1y ago 100%

    This is definitely making me go hmm. I am diagnosed with dyslexia (and so many other things), but I struggle so much with math. Weird part is it should have been picked up with testing, then again uh my very obvious autism and ADHD was missed so who knows.

    Reading others comments here too helps since I really do struggle with math it feels like trying to juggle. I can do fine with a few, but some concepts just take out everything. It's to the point where I'm a computer science major, and I dropped down to a Bachelor's of Arts because I'm trying to avoid math as much as possible (I'm planning on doing web work so less heavy math)

    Thank you for this post, maybe this was the last push I needed to see and go research more
