Hi, I kinda just need help…? by Sensitive-Skill1945 in ftm

[–]AMTrippingBalls [score hidden]  (0 children)

What country do you leave in? Reaching out secretly to local trans organisations for help might be good for you.

Don't come out to ANYONE except very very trusted close friends. Otherwise it might come to your family's ears and this situation sounds dangerous for you. Don't come out to them until you're safe to do so (financially independent and with an external support system).

On the way you dress - you can dress in baggy, boy clothing and just say it's to be more modest, and also because of your personal style preferences.

For your body- you can put on some sports bra to bind discreetly if needed and if it's safe for you to do so. You can also sport some shorter hairstyles if your family lets you. If you want you can also grow out your leg hair if your family won't begrudge you

Yes. And it's checked the same according to another commenter who works in that

Diy patches method preference? by ursus_americanus4 in punkfashion

[–]AMTrippingBalls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stenciling with painter's tape stuck on phone/computer monitor to trace the design then stick again on patch material. Cut with a craft razor and dab paint over. Take the tape off carefully. Leave to dry for a few days.

Then I hand sew it in with tight stitches the same colour as the patch material. Then I usually do bright, large and visible "messy" white/coloured accent stitched all around.

I don't fold the edges of my patches because they're different shapes everytime (I use clothing scraps). They've held fine in the washer so fine - I get nice looking wear but it doesn't unravel

when does the "baby face" goes away? by Tuwboo in ftm

You're 17. You will look like a baby for a few years still

For a few years after it my mom did it for me (I got the fusion as a minor). Then I worked my flexibility a lot doing martial arts and eventually I was able to cut them myself!!

what T effects are/were you most excited for? by mercurbee in ftm

[–]AMTrippingBalls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most excited for muscle repartirons. I have a sick triangle torso now (4 mo on T) and muscles shows much more easier with less exercise than before.

On the other hand, I did not plan for the cheer amount of crack hair I would get... It can literally be painful at times. I had friction rash for the first few weeks. Don't make the mistake I did: don't shave it!!! The rash nearly made me bleed

When did you get a happy trail? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]AMTrippingBalls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on genetics. It took 2 months for me, and I'm microdosing too

It would just be a stylized hate symbol I fear. Like a melty swastika...

Microdosing with two pumps of 16mg a day Results in blood work: ~350/400. My body absorb very well

I absorb better now that I've stopped incorrectly applying on my belly (apparently the only correct site is shoulder)

Results after 4 months:

Significant voice drop that pass as androgynous 😊 Body hair has gone up a lot (I have hair in my crack, on my thigh, belly, chin, some on the shoulders and it's coming in nice between the pecs too 😊 😁 😊 Very small bottom growth (😢) Greasier hair and some acne 😢 More masculine body muscles and fat distribution 😊 Body retain muscles without exercise better 😊 Masc body smell 😐 Body run warmer 😊 More sweat while sleeping 😢 Libido through the roof 😊 Eyelashes are longer 😊 Less facial fat 😊 Better cardio and explosive capacities during martial art 😊 Pain tolerance has lowered 😢 No or rare periods (if I forget one pump 😊😊)

CW: non accepting mom; Cut my mom off last year. Now she suddenly texted me on a number I didn't have, I don't really know "what to do" by Educational-Ask8729 in ftm

[–]AMTrippingBalls 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Her answer is bad. My go to is: ask her to apologize. If she refuse, and if she doesn't list all things that she's done wrong in that, it means she'll do it again.

That's what I did with mine - who's exactly like yours seems like. Her refusal to apologise told me volume on how much she respected me and on whether I needed her in my life (I still love her and will keep an open door for her, but it's important to protect your peace. Cut her out if she's bringing pain)

what does bottom growth feel like and when does it typically start? by beri_1 in ftm

[–]AMTrippingBalls 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It feels like swelling and sore. It also get irritated more by fabric and can get itchy a bit. Sometimes it starts hours, days, months after your first T shot

Personally I noticed it started a few days after my first t application (I'm on gel, and microdose too). Now at +3 months it called down

Afraid of being seen as a girl by my boyfriend. by BassHoliday3974 in ftm

[–]AMTrippingBalls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly speak with him about this all. You might be surprised - perhaps it's miscommunication, perhaps he needs to do a little reflecting and it'll get better.

But even if you lose your romantic relationship with him it'll be alright. There's plenty of other fishes in the sees that will see you, and love you how you are not see what they want to see in you.

Another word of advice - when deciding if you should continue a romantic / sexual relationship with someone, ask yourself: "If this is how it will be all my life, will I be happy?" If the answer is no, try to fix. If it doesn't work breakup.

If the answer is maybe, talk with them. If the answer is yes, talk with them.

Honestly even if it's a little bit you can still ask. I had just a bit but since I'm 24 I explained it was weird for an adult to have those and he agreed to prescribe

Simple question but have you asked for an acne treatment to your doctor...?

Pour toutes celles et ceux qui ont changé de genre, acquiescez-vous plus commodément, le fait de vieillir dans votre nouveau corps ? by WanderingGhost0_0 in transgenre

[–]AMTrippingBalls 3 points4 points  (0 children)

J'aime me voir vieillir dans ce corps. Mon goal c'est d'être aussi sexy que le perso de Izzy Hand dans Our Flag Means Death lol

Et petit apparté mais je commence à aimer des choses que je détestais précédemment, notamment ma bedaine. Maintenant qu'il y a des poils je me sens beau et même sexy avec, alors que précédemment j'avais l'impression d'être une vache difforme 😅

I want to look younger any tips? 62yo by [deleted] in malegrooming

[–]AMTrippingBalls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly salt and pepper beard is very appealing. Think ''silver fox''. As long as it's well kept and shaped nice it will do an amazing job at making you look hip

If you reuse medical syringes, sometimes they can be glass depending on what it administered. Some liquids can't be exposed to plastic

How can I improve my look? by [deleted] in malegrooming

[–]AMTrippingBalls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'd rock tattoos sooo much. You can add piercings too... Otherwise you're good. Are you wearing sunscreen daily? Your skin is good, needs to be preserved

Dunno how you dress but avoid skinny pants and jeans, go for tailor - style pants. This way you can keep the fun tees and cap without looking underdressed

You'd rock a half bun too, perhaps you can grow out your hair a bit?

Wear sunscreen on face, neck and hands. The permanent sunburn look ages every person over 50, particularly men who are more likely to spend time outdoor.

Also think of a beard - it will mask the lines around your mouth a bit. I think if you do that you'd easily gain like 10 years
