  • Man, my prediction with my paintball gun was on point. The Mission 4 is literally the paintball gun I have, modified to shoot with CO2 capsules. Modded Tippmann TMC elite, it even still has the Tippmann logo molded into both the lower receiver and the grip

    I can tell you from experience, the TMC is very reliable and effective but maybe not the most accurate (although I suspect that this is more of a skill issue on my part)

    Umarex has something very similar with their T4E lineup. Basically co2 paintball markers (chambered down from .68 cal to .50 or .43) that are made to look like a real gun (like their glock 17 or PPQ, both of which I was thinking about buying back when I had money) that can also shoot pepper balls or rubber balls for self defense. I’ve heard though that the pepper balls aren’t as effective as a dedicated spray.



  • That’s actually really cool.

    I’m just sadly not in the US. if you’d want to apply for a carry permit here you’d need to prove that you’re at higher risk of being targeted (like being a politician, minorities don’t really count…). Even so, since after a recent school shooting our government is overhauling the gun law, I’ll probably won’t ever be able to own a gun at all ever.

    Long story short: every man at age 18 has to get a check if they are fit for the military or civil service and have to chose one if they are. The school shooter didn’t pass the psychological test at the military but passed the gun owners permit psych eval. And now they are considering banning people who fail the psych evaluation from the military from ever getting a gun, which would include me since I was still registered as male at that time.

    The only hope I have is that they see during the gun ownership evaluation that I’m female so I didn’t have to go to the military evaluation and ignore that.

    Would really suck if I couldn’t because I’m a pretty big gun fanatic…

  • That actually reminds me of something that happened to me at work (before I was out as trans to my colleagues but already knew I was trans).

    I was together at a work site with a pretty homo-/transphobic colleague. Even back then I didn’t look particularly male because of my naturally feminine body type and long hair.

    We had to go into a clean room, which means for me: making a tight pony tail and stuffing it under a clean room hood (it’s a tight fit). Ngl it took me quite a bit. Since this colleague wasn’t very happy with that, he wanted to be mean and guess what he did:

    He derogatorily called me “princess” :3

    In my head I was like: heheheh theenkk youuu, if only you would know what you just did





  • Have you always been injecting it? Maybe our body just doesn’t work with it…

    I’m not a medical professional but I could see a case where your body processes your injected estrogen too quickly leading to big and constant hormone fluctuations. Don’t really know too much about what that would do to your body but it would make sense for your psyche to suffer a lot from it.

    Edit: if you don’t want to / can’t get pills, you could try doing 1/4 your current dosage every other day and see how that turns out (if it’s even possible with your type if syringe (DON’T REUSE THEM!!))
