Delilah !

Your curls or your curl iron?? — Forget it, I am taking both! 😄

Ohh I have never tried, thank you!

I have mostly straight hair (it tends to curl at the very end). That awkward flip is my default hair right now 😭😂

Hey, I am sorry that this happened to you! That’s absolutely awful and disgusting behaviour. Fact is, this person doesn’t know anything about you and the way they act is a reflection of themselves, not you. You are valid.

Sending love and huuuugs 🩷

Okay first off, you’re not being insane by having these questions… those are some totally valid questions. this would stress me out as well. It’s totally okay to feel conflicted about this. Is this something you could check with your doctor or HRT supplier? Preferably this is something you want to get from a qualified health professional.

If I were to guess— it should be fine if you follow a healthy diet. Your body needs energy to grow and maintain itself. It will use it to create new cells, from blood cells, skin, hair, nails to breasts. Reducing calorie intake will make your body work to convert fats into glucose, as a source of energy, in order to keep your body going. So those fats will be used as a source of energy for your body. So by that logic it should be fine? It would be problematic if you don’t have the fats to begin with or if you reduce intake too much and your body cannot keep up at the rate of burning fats. So dropping calorie intake entirely would likely have impact. You need a healthy balance.

Now unfortunately, burning fats is a slow process and this is high school biology at best so take it with a grain of salt. Best to check with a qualified professional. Or if you don’t have the luxury, ask around like you are already doing and find a person previously in a similar scenario. If you do have the luxury please ask.

Hope this helps 🩷

Yay! That’s huge, I am happy for you!!

Looks cute!!

I’d love to join too ! I don’t know any communities on Matrix, but if there’s none we can start one

I see it a bit differently. I think your role in life is whatever you define it to be. Whatever makes you happy.

Would you say any infertile woman is not a woman? Did they fail life because of it? Would you say people that don’t want children are neither men nor women? Is there a difference between being female and male? Sure! But not being able to bear a child doesn’t disqualify you as a woman. Gender is just a construct society made up.

It’s good to question your identity, so you can be who you truly are.

Edit: No reply… I was hoping for a good discussion, but I guess that’s out of the question as you did reply with insensitive and superficial comments to others 🤷‍♀️ You can do better

Yay! Congratz Kaityy ! Welcomee 🥰

I really enjoyed Coral Island. Buuut I haven’t finished it so minor disclaimer ☺️ It’s like a mix of the Sims and a simple farming sim.

Woow! You look a-mazing, it’s really cute!

Oh yes I read something similar on the 60-80% thingy. I started measuring my biceps circumference to make seeing results a bit more tangible.

Let me know what worked for you, I’m interested too !

Hi! Not really and answer, but I’m in a similar situation muscle wise. I decided to visit a dietician to reduce muscles altogether in a healthy fashion and she recommended taking no more than 20 grams of protein every 2 hours or so. If you take more it will go to muscle build-up.

Still, it’s also important to get enough protein throughout the day, because you need it for just about anything (hair ✨ for one).

Spreading your intake throughout the day helps with not building more muscle mass (and potentially reduce it). She also told me E helps a lot, but I can’t speak from experience Hope it helps!
