Welcome to Gaia! ::

It's been ages since I got a guild notif here ninja

It is so weird that everything is quiet now. 😅

[quote="Oblivion Blades"] Past puberty can still be young enough to recover well - I'd say being under 30 is a positive factor, beyond that it starts decreasing. I'm 21 so beyond the point of no return pubertywise as well, 163cm. I find it rather depressing than most of FtMs are on the shorter side - I know three that are your size or under personally. The fourth I know is about my height, and [i]I[/i] feel like a dwarf compared to most people, men and women alike. Ugh. After starting T I constantly get asked if I'm certain I'm of age... all considered, I probably look like I'm about 13 to 14. For example, when travelling, mom got addressed for everything, and people just assumed I'm her underage kid and not an adult myself. When I buy tickets on the bus, the driver assumes I'm under 16 and tries to sell me half-price, not like I necessarily mind a discount but because I usually offer the correct amount of money for an adult ticket, they always ask if I'm sure I want to buy that one. Like... yes, I am certain. Why are you resisting the extra two dollars? :gonk:[/quote] [b][size=11]I'm 20 but look a lot younger. Definitely mid-teens. Depends on how I look that day. I can get away with getting child discounts too. Not that anyone ever checks here. It really weird when I have to buy grown-up stuff at the store. Like condoms or whatever. The clerk will get really quiet and give me this look like I'm doing a bad thing. I'm used to being short so it doesn't bother me so much. The only thing is I'm classified as 'petite' so it's impossible to find clothes that fit. Usually I have to go to the children's section and forget about the men's. Even the smallest shirt they have is two sizes too big for me. [/size][/b] [quote="Oblivion Blades"]Just goes to show how huge an effect brainwashing yourself for years can have. To clarify, I spent most of my teen years trying to tell myself I'm stupid, not worth being male, a wannabe special snowflake, an attention whore and whatnot and should just get over it and start being what I was born to be.[/quote] [size=11][b]I have that same problem. Which is probably why I go into dark places sometimes. I even got a job at this girly-a** shop in my town. Turns out it was a terrible decision. The people are nice but the place is unorganized, but also because of the uniform. I have to wear a bra and makeup and be this attractive piece of womanly s**t. I've been self-harming myself more because of it. ******** that job. [/b][/size]

The guild is alive!
