It's a bit delayed to be responding to this comment, but I wanted to in case op is still hanging around this thread.

  1. He doesn't necessarily need to be worried about 'looking different'. A lot of trans people, and trans men in particular, completely pass. Testosterone is strong as hell. People just always stick with their 'we can always tell' talking points, because when they see passing trans people, they don't assume they're trans.

  2. The phrasing behind your second point is kind just of a rehash of a common anti lgbtq sentiment. The problem is, at least anecdotally for myself, that the people who would harass you consider that to be anything showing you're in some form queer or showing any pride in who you are. It's essentially a demand that people entirely hide part of them if they want to to be treated with respect.

Maybe this is the rumored aero stall when drs is on? It seems like there's still some massive aero efficiency differences when the flap opens.

A nice npr segment where they talked about mattress store because there are a bafflingly large number of them.

It's a pretty great description of what dysphoria can be like for some people.

I met up with a friend group I haven't seen in a while, and a lot of people made an effort to lump me into 'the girls'.

Plus electrolysis is showing good results, even if that hour a week is slowly killing my soul with pain.

I absolutely do love all the things you named. I feel like in both chocolate and coffee that the milk rounds out flavors to be nice and smooth, but you lose some of detail. Sometimes they both go too far and end up in a sour or bitter mess, but I really enjoy the tastes on the edge of being too far.

Hot showers are just luxury. Put some lotion on after and your skin will be fine.

How far did you go on ensuring you got the cross pollination you wanted? I'm going to try a cross in the fall and am planning on bagging the bud and cutting out the anthers, but that may be overboard.

Hmm that doesn't seem like it'd be hot enough to cause consistent drop assuming nighttime lows are at least getting to 70.

I do some self pollination on the plants I baby the most, but a big help for me was when I started actually changing what I fed throughout the growing season. A lower N, higher P fertilizer when I wanted to switch from growing to fruiting helped me get a lot more fruit.

I've had plants come back from worse than this, so I wouldn't necessarily say these are goners yet. When it gets hot enough and they're in too much sun, even some of my healthy peppers will look like this before perking back up after getting watered that night.

Like everyone else said, they're stressed out and need some shade.

How hot is it where you're at? I have some overwintered peppers that are still full of fruit that set earlier in the season, but pretty much every flower has fallen off for a while now. High heat doesn't reduce flowering much, but it does dramatically stop fruit production.

If you're in the US, I'm in a hardiness zone of 8b/9a though. We have a very long growing season so I know I'll get a fall harvest as well out of both new and old plants.

I found genderdysphoria.fyi to be a really helpful resource. It was my time figuring out that it was more so that I didn't understand dysphoria than that I didn't have any.

Also, therapy with a gender affirming provider is amazingly helpful.
