You seem to already know this, but the pain is temporary and the dysphoria is temporary. At least this time it's serving a larger goal and you'll feel way better about your face soon!

I'm assuming you're a man, and that's great! I'm also taking my wife's name but I'm a gay woman so it's not as awesome lol

I've already found my Shaun of the Dead, it's Simon Pegg; unfortunately though, he's taken... and I'm a gay woman. In another lifetime perhaps, Simon!

Women, don't marry men who won't take your name. That's a wall of separation he wants to keep between you. It won't be the only one.

For negativity bias my wife just told me a great technique that she uses for that. Come up with a list of people whose opinions matter to you. Any time you question yourself, imagine how each person on that list would react to what you did. Since those are the only people whose opinions matter to you, if it's mostly positive, then you should feel proud of your choice.

That kind of sounds like a strategy to trigger lucid dreaming. I've heard that if you envision a specific thing while falling asleep, like for example the StarCraft menu screen, then it will appear somewhere in your dream. When it does, it's supposed to sort of jostle you into consciousness but not wake you up.

It seems that what this person's friend did with his free will in dream land is nope right out of there. He could have turned that nightmare into something awesome though!

I'm sure you're aware but I think it needs to be said more; but I think that most women would love to pay men compliments on their appearance, but unfortunately, it sometimes leads to weird, obsessive, totally inappropriate behaviour from said men and so that scares a lot of women off.

We, as a society, should try to discourage men from reading too much into a purely platonic compliment so that women feel more free to give men compliments without fear of super awkward and/or scary situations.

There are a lot of women that love fat guys. Ignoring the haters and wearing what you like is hot AF.

I'm gay, but if I were straight I would be with a fat guy over any other guy, 100%.

Hey girl, happy birthday!

It actually kinda makes sense. Two sounds that a U commonly makes are "OO" like in "yule" and "UH" like in "just". If you say "OO-UH" close enough together it makes the sound of a W.

You might want to start taking testosterone blockers (spironolactone for example) asap to avoid any unwanted changes. The T-blockers themselves won't have a huge effect on your body, it might very slightly change your body hair growth and it might make your skin a bit softer but that's about it.

Then once you're ready you can start taking estrogen -- usually in the form of estradiol pills, although there are other options.

Also, if you're from Canada -- Ontario or Alberta specifically, there's a very good service called Foria https://www.foriaclinic.com/

It's not covered through provincial healthcare unfortunately, but it is a not-for-profit service so they keep it as cheap as they can. It winds up being about $200 a year for most patients.
