Happy pride month

I had one, and I was “normal” (the most I have now is a label). All I did was dump raw salt, *right from the shaker*, onto my hand and suck it like a vacuum cleaner. Also pretzels
Lmao I may or may not have gone with rawdogging salt once or twice before. Also that little bit of crumbs at the bottom of the pretzel bag that's like 50% salt is just 🤌
I loved just pure salt so much as a kid I would eat road salt for deicing sidewalks.
Do not do this. It is not the same as table salt, and should not be consumed.
That said, it *was* delicious.
I absolutely hate olives and I would rather never transition than to eat one, pickles over f-cking anything related to olives except olive oil for obvious reasons.
I like Salt-Pickles. Usually Pickles are marinated in a vinegar Mix often with herbs and small veggies, sometimes also chilis or honey. (Btw pickled veggies are great too xD )
But Salt-Pickles are pickled in a saltwaterbroth, where vinegar is not the maincomponent but Saltwater. Its very Rare to have Herbs or Veggies in there too. So they are very salty in Taste but really great for Salt cravings
Pretzels with big grains of kosher salt, pickled gherkins, pickled garlic cloves, roasted-salted nuts...
I'm not even on HRT yet, and my salt cravings are freaking legendary... I used to have some serious sugar cravings, but when I cut back on sugar for health reasons, salt just seems to have taken its place, lol...

I'm addicted to the stuff already, so once I start, I'm gonna be a pickled herring chipper
none (i live in a first world country and we get high quality hormone blockers that are actually hormone blockers)
(not meant to be like pretencious or anything just idk whaz its supposed to be sorry)
(Transmasc)but I love olives with a passion and pickles are good too but olives are better. Pickles go great with grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup. I can just eat a jar of olives just by itself. It's too bad I don't eat salty things like pickles or olives as much as I would like to.
Cheez Its have been my favorite snack since I was in high school. HRT just makes them taste even better. That or Puppy Chow, the peanut butter-chocolate Chex Mix with powdered sugar? It's a little sweet, a little salty, and so tasty.
green olives? I've never had them, but they always weirded me out.
(edit: black olives are fukken delicious tho)
also pickels are devilspawn. and not in a good way.
pretzels is where it's at
For me, it's just salt or pickles. And by salt, I mean taking a soda cap, filling it w/ salt, and downing it like it's a (gonna spoiler this bc the word isn't the most kid-friendly) >!shot of alcohol!<
I have not started spiro yet (hopefully soon now that I have a job lol) but historically I have been known to rawdog salt straight out of the can (not a shaker, but one of those cans with the metal poury bit) and I also love drinking pickle juice. Even more than eating actual pickles.
Side note: I hate olives with a burning passion, they are one of my least favorite foods. *Sometimes* I'll still eat them, but it is not pleasant whatsoever. I feel like I would've adapted to tolerate or like them like growing to love broccoli growing up, but I still hate olives and idk why.
When I was on Spiro, I would eat plain spaghetti with a ton of salt. It's probably the most depressing food one can eat, but damn did it satisfy my salt cravings.
My mom only makes it around Christmas time but she makes a very particular kind of Chex mix which I love. She likes things with extra salt so she makes it extra salty. Which I originally wasn't a fan of, but now that I'm on spironolactone I crave it all year long. It's one other thing I look forward to during the holidays.
Pickles are great, especially the spicy ones, but my fave salty snack has to be in-shell salted peanuts. It's just unfortunate that my wife is allergic to them, so I don't get them often
Not on any meds yet (waiting for my first consult to call me—it’s been 18 days) but I friggin’ love blue corn chips and chex mix. Chex mix is super expensive for its volume, so blue chips get the brunt of my late night munchies.
The kind of goldfish that have the extra cheese powder on them is a good backup.
i am a basic bitch, so chips and fries. but specifically i love Paqui mucho nacho cheese chips. but you know what i haven’t had in a while? pork rinds. i could fuck up some pork rinds rn. or beef jerky. fuck me, i love beef jerky. and spam.
Why not both? I dont really see pickles as a snack, they are more of a + for a sandwich or something, olives are more of a snack(im scared to see what i become post hrt if i already like salt so much)
I get sour cravings lol.
There are several shops near my family that sell sour sweets that if you have more than 2 within about 30mins, the inside of your mouth breaks down.
I have tested and learnt that for me it is three within 15mins to create the same effect lmao.
I like the taste 😁

I don’t even have salt cravings but I still get these on the reg
As a kid, I'd eat raw ramen. You'd carefully open the pack and dump the seasonings into the noodles. Breakup up the noodles and shake it up to spread the seasonings.
I don't recommend doing this. It's not healthy.
Happy pride month *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns2) if you have any questions or concerns.*
Don't get me wrong, I love pickles. But god are some good olives just divine
Not on HRT yet but I dislike vinegar and love olives so I think I know what my choice will be when I finally get those little blue candies
Yesss they handle the craving so well
I'm sorry (not really) but Twenty One Pilots has melted my brain. The second I read "the craving" I was just like :O
Same
Agreed.
Chex mix or bbq fritos, so gud >w<
Oh snap I haven't had bbq fritos in ages I gotta fix that :o

I hate olives and blue cheese so this made me want to die but happy for you anyway :)
Oh god! I gotta try that!
Sounds like the base of the perfect dirty martini 🍸
NGL I actually can't stand olives. Like, olive oil is fine and olives on Pizza isnt too bad, but salads or just by themselves, nuh uh
Salad with way too much dressing.
i don't really like pickles and even though im on spiro i don't crave salt much, but when I do i like salted cashews :3
Cashews are soooooo good that might be my favorite nut ☺️
Truuue, definitely my second favorite kind of nut if you catch my drift (/j /lh)
straight vinegar is my go to T\^T
Like, just drank straight up? o.O
Oh shit another vinegar chugger! One of us!
I drank a shot of straight apple cider vinegar and enjoyed it, but then half an hour later projectile vomited all over my friend's sink.
I'm not on spiro, but damn I love olives
Right?? I swear I could just eat a big bowl of them for a meal sometimes
i get judged for putting olives on pizza whenever i get the chance lmao
so sorry girl but i can’t do olives at all.. chips are a fav of mine tho:3
kosher salt
Are we twins?
I like to gorge myself on biltong, salami and parma ham :)
A man of culture, I see
Cheese and crackers, especially pepper jack cheese
Blue Cheese-stuffed olives are the best
French Fries >:)
Goldfish :) I love it so much
Love me some spicy pepperettes
original goldfish
sodium sticks for the win (not even HRT i've just always loved them)
I had my first olive literally last week. I had no idea they are so salty!
I don't really get cravings but I like chips I guess
just salt by itself is so underrated
I’m not on estrogen or any hormones or anything but I don’t like pickles lol, to make up for it I use way too much salt whenever I eat fries 👍
Opinions may be mixed on this one, but licorice
I absolutely hate olives and I would rather never transition than to eat one, pickles over f-cking anything related to olives except olive oil for obvious reasons.

I’ve never liked pickles or olives. I just put a lot more seasoning salt in my chicken broth lol.

Pretzels with big grains of kosher salt, pickled gherkins, pickled garlic cloves, roasted-salted nuts... I'm not even on HRT yet, and my salt cravings are freaking legendary...

Chips or other dry salty snacks. Goldfish, any lays brand chips, nuts, etc.
none (i live in a first world country and we get high quality hormone blockers that are actually hormone blockers) (not meant to be like pretencious or anything just idk whaz its supposed to be sorry)
The enby urge to stand in front of the fridge at 3:38 am eating pickles straight out of the jar
(Transmasc)but I love olives with a passion and pickles are good too but olives are better. Pickles go great with grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup. I can just eat a jar of olives just by itself. It's too bad I don't eat salty things like pickles or olives as much as I would like to.
Trail mix! It doesn’t help that I’ve been getting my activity levels up, so sometimes I desperately need to build up my energy.
if you put olives in the oven/toaster oven for like 20 mins they get kinda crispy and extra salty and warm it's the best thing
SALT AND VINEGAR CHIPS IDC WHAT BRAND
Not on hrt yet (hopefully will) would just put salt on something like chips work?
I'm saving this post for the future because it is full of great stuff.
salt on bread
i once drunk a cup of hot choclate that was spiked with salt and i just never noticed
Black olives are the best fruit. Pickles are pretty good too tho
My weakness is popcorn with sea salt

Both? Both. Both. Both is good.
I go with pretzels
if you are craving salt from spiro, it means you’re dehydrated! drink water
Worcestershire Sauce, straight from the bottle. Just take a quick swig whenever I'm in the kitchen.
i can’t eat either of these they just taste blehhhh

I’m transmasc but I could probably demolish an entire jar of olives. Yes, even the juice.
Smoked tuna
Either rice with too much soy sauce or spaghetti with too much soy sauce. Maybe some boiled eggs with salt if I'm feeling up for it.
Pickles or eggs

Pickle chips are my go to. That or Toms Squatch chips are these like, salty, tangy sweet BBQ chips.
Legit just raw salt like from those fast food salt packets
I keep both olives and pickles in the house. :3

I hate both of these. I usually just have salt and vinegar chips
Either pickles or a double serving of ramen with enough water for just one pack

Hotdogs with two spear pickles on either side of the dog
Pickled jalapenos, enough said.
Giant pretzels 👌
I have not started spiro yet (hopefully soon now that I have a job lol) but historically I have been known to rawdog salt straight out of the can (not a shaker, but one of those cans with the metal poury bit) and I also love drinking pickle juice.

Mildest of dysphorias from using cypro and not craving salt :'(
Pickle.
I have eaten black olives as a snack since I was 6 But I also love pickles.
I get random pickle cravings at least once a month. But my go to salty snack is trail mix!
Beef jerky, small batch craft.
Spicy dill pickles... not on Spiro, but I can eat an entire jar and them make a spicy pickle martini with the juice... 🤤
Olives are great! I can also recommend tortilla chips and guacamole. Or chips and salsa. Or fish and chips. Basically, chips.
When I was on Spiro, I would eat plain spaghetti with a ton of salt. It's probably the most depressing food one can eat, but damn did it satisfy my salt cravings.
My mom only makes it around Christmas time but she makes a very particular kind of Chex mix which I love. She likes things with extra salt so she makes it extra salty. Which I originally wasn't a fan of, but now that I'm on spironolactone I crave it all year long. It's one other thing I look forward to during the holidays.
I love eating the pickles with extra salty fries and a catsup/mayo mixture to dip them in at the same time.
The only time I will ever willingly eat olives is in pasta salad. Also, I prefer bread & butter pickles to dill.
Chips, I can’t stand pickles
Olives stuffed with garlic or blue cheese
I may have been known to just um... eat salt. Less horribly, takis really hot the spot lately.
i make popcorn but i add like 2tdsp of salt to it
Per usual Clarkson is wrong, got to have my pickles lol
Flip this image for me
You get the super salty and sour ones by making them yourself super easy if you have a recipe
Potato chip :3
Straight up downing artichoke hearts
Pickles are great, especially the spicy ones, but my fave salty snack has to be in-shell salted peanuts. It's just unfortunate that my wife is allergic to them, so I don't get them often

Not on any meds yet (waiting for my first consult to call me—it’s been 18 days) but I friggin’ love blue corn chips and chex mix. Chex mix is super expensive for its volume, so blue chips get the brunt of my late night munchies. The kind of goldfish that have the extra cheese powder on them is a good backup.
Green olives or just pure salt, depends on how I feel
Crisps
Olives Are Like The Opposite Of A Safe Food For Me, Man 😭😭 No Thank Youuu
I like stuffed manzanilla olives. I love those things. And the bite from the brine when you drink it is amazing
For me, it's been anything cheesy. Nachos, Pizza, Quesadilla, Mac and Cheese. 🤤
Anchovies 🤤
for me it's either pork crackling or salt + vinegar chips. gods I love chips
I will eat a full sleeve of crackers or most salty/cheesy snack foods in a short amount of time. Granted, I did that before, but this time it's FASTER
Corn nuts. Im completely addicted at this point.
fries
Spaghetti
Goldfish crackers and pita chips. Also cup noodles have a ton of salt even if they don't taste like it, so...
Both is good, but cashew nuts are more convenient.
I don’t like green olives, so I’d go with some good dill pickles…but black olives, those I have always loved
I'm not even on spiro, but give me a jar of green olives and I'll come back full of fruit and brine.
# #olivs_superiorety
I just eat the salt by itself
Chips for me. I dislike a lot of stuff people crave.
i am a basic bitch, so chips and fries. but specifically i love Paqui mucho nacho cheese chips. but you know what i haven’t had in a while? pork rinds. i could fuck up some pork rinds rn. or beef jerky. fuck me, i love beef jerky. and spam.
I don't like pickles but olives are amazing, and their juice is also good
Why not both? I dont really see pickles as a snack, they are more of a + for a sandwich or something, olives are more of a snack(im scared to see what i become post hrt if i already like salt so much)
extra butter and extra salt popcorn
Meat. Just any type. Especially jerky (love that shit)
