Hey everyone! I’ve been gathering some of the questions I got under my video’s for a sort of Q&A video. But there is room for more. So, if you have any questions place them below this comment before the end of the week and I will try to answer them. You can ask anything (transition related, personal stuff, etc.). Q&A will come online in about 2 weeks. Also, if you prefer to ask a question anonymously you could send me a DM on insta. Don’t worry I will not mention your name ;) Have a lovely week!
Hi Daan! As a transman transitioning later in life (Im also in my thirties), I have also experienced years of my life "as a woman". Although I have never regretted my decision to transition, and love all the changes on T, I still have some strange dreams. For example, the other night I was dreaming about myself in woman clothing. I don't really remember my mood in the dream (like was angry or not), but when I woke up, I was quite surprised. Or in another dream, I wanted to introduce myself to someone, but for a moment I forgot my (new) name. They say that you process stuff in your dreams, and I like to believe that. As I said, its not that I want to go back to that part of me, so that cannot be the reason for such dreams. Maybe my mind still does not really "knows" that I don't have to dress up like that anymore and can let go of it. It might still processing experiences/life from the past and catching up with my current appearance/life. Well whatever the explanation, you wake up pretty disturbed I can say! Have you ever experienced this in your dreams? Greetings from Utrecht! ;-)
I need those shorts!!! I have that big leaf plant and something ate all the leaves. I have one leaf growing back now. Yes in english the screen is called blinds. There is a buddhist principle that talks about slowing down. Staying in the moment, in the present time and seeing all around you with all your senses. Otherwise life will pass you by too quickly and you will notice nothing.
What word you said for screen then asked what they're called in English, I think is "blinds"? That's what I call them anyways. It might be a regional name though if anyone has other names for them, of course I'm curious! What did you put on your cottage cheese? I'm amazed at how much healthier other countries eat than mine. We're junk food central! Canned and prepackaged everything if it isn't fast food. I used to be on a really good meal plan, but got disabled and now I'm at that point where the "real food" I should be eating (free range meats, organic vegetables) is more expensive than the junk. I can get 2 chicken breast for the same price I can get 5 pizzas. I'm in the process of thinking of ways to stretch out the good foods in between the bad foods for some semblance of balance. 🤷 I know I'm going to get a lot of advice, but I'm also seeing a nutritionist and going to be getting a food budgeting course from my therapist. Wish me luck!
Blinds! Yes that’s the word! 😄 Oh and sweet chili sauce. As for food, I learned a lot by just tracking my food intake. Don’t get obsessed over it, but for me it really gave me information about what and how much I eat in a day
@@Daan_Spieard Ah, that sounds good! I've never tried that on cottage cheese, but I love that flavor. Yeah, once I started tracking my food I was surprised how much sugar and sodium I was taking in, started eating a bit healthier too. I was 220lbs when I started, down to 160lbs (yeah, US doesn't want to adopt the metric system yet 🤷) I also started wearing a step counter to remind myself that the less I exercise, the less calories I should eat!
Off topic but something I've been wanting to comment on but wasn't sure if I should. And now .... well, I can't resist lol. I think you'd look better with shorter hair on top and in the front? You have a long face, the poofy hair on top and front makes your face appear even longer.
Respectfully, your first instinct was correct. I don’t think you meant it maliciously but there’s no reason to share an unasked for physical opinion/judgement. It does not help the person you advise. People judge themselves enough.

What are you studying? 😊
If you could only own one plant which would it be and why?

I love you videos brother ❤️ and the stuff you are saying actually very valuable ❤
It looks like you got a little sunburn on your face. Don't forget the sunscreen!
I don’t know if it’s sunburn or just a red face because of exercise 😅
