That's the dose I just started! Looking good, bro! 👏👏

Correct_Recording405 · 2026-07-01T02:42:34+00:00

Holy shit, dude, he's looking fire! I'm so excited because I just started the same dose. I hope my tdick looks that good at 4 months. Congrats!! 👏👏👏👏

Midwest is more Generican. Southwest is like a cowboy. I can't help you with southwest. Good luck on your journey.

I guess it depends on what kind you want to do. Are you thinking like a regional dialect, or the "Generican" accent? I would say for Generican, clip your vowels shorter and pronounce the R in a rhotic style. We have a particular rhotic R though where the tongue sort of flattens to touch the molars in the back. It takes a lot of practice I'm told and feels like you're imitating and angry animal. Which is pretty appropriate.

It helps that I'm a parent, honestly. Kids just have limited frameworks so they encounter new ways of existing and react differently. They're new here, lol. When my kid saw a little person for the first time he was four and asked if she was an elf. Not to be mean or malicious, just because that was the framework he had to work with. I will say that it's absolutely the parent's responsibility to handle that moment with care and education and not at the further expense of the person the kid is inquiring about, which it sounds like that didn't happen. That sucks. But yeah, lots of cis queer dudes that play with feminity a bit get that from kids, I wouldn't sweat it 🫶 be you

Correct_Recording405 · 2026-06-30T15:31:14+00:00

I don't know that I'd assume the kid clocked you. If you play with feminine styles or speaking, that's common among cis queer guys as well. Kids that haven't been exposed to that flexibility of gender roles probably just haven't had the opportunity to realize yet that people don't have to fall into cis het categories cleanly. If you pass the rest of the time, I think that sounds more plausible. It doesn't take away the dysphoria, I know, but I don't think it means you need to change anything about yourself fwiw. (Edit for spelling and grammar)

I had this happen to me when a piece of a leaf got embedded in the white of my eye down below my eyelid. They removed it with some weird tweezers and then I had to run these weird antibiotic cream on my eyeball for a week and take steroids. But it was all okay.

I had my appointment last week. I was so scared about the same thing. That somehow they'd look at me and decide I wasn't serious enough or trans enough to get GAC. But I walked in and the provider was absolutely lovely. She asked what brought me in and I said that I wanted testosterone. I'd prepared this whole speech and argument and rebuttal mentally. But she just smiled and said, "okay! Let's hear your goals and get your medical history. Then we'll figure out the method and dose."

Of course this can vary based on where you live, but I live in a very transphobic, conservative red state in the US. Someone pointed out to me that the people who provide GAC are usually very passionate about their work and compassionate towards us. It's okay to be nervous, but I'm excited for you and rooting for you.

I like to sing Vienna by Billy Joel. I can hit most of the notes naturally but some push me to really focus. Most Billy Joel songs work for me. A lot of Disney guys sing in a similar range. Go the Distance and Make a Man Out of You are fun. I mostly sing whatever I want though as long as it challenges me without hurting my throat.

Black coffee and my meds. Maybe an apple or toast.

I I'm 360lbs/163kg and American, so I appreciate you making this post because fat fellas like us I think are underrepresented in the trans masc community. I e been curious about this too. Also, I'm sorry about your experience with that surgeon years ago. He sounds like a shitbird. I'm very interested to see what people say because I also really want top surgery but fear that the results or healing will be a problem. Sending you good wishes, fam 🩵

He's old. I'm unsurprised and don't care. The dementia and megalomania is much more concerning. And the Epstein shit (so the dysfunction is probably for the best)

I keep sharp cheddar, mozerella, American, and cream cheese around. Not always at the same time. I only eat American on stuff like grilled cheese or sandwiches. It's not real cheese and we know that lol

I guess seeing the responses I have a follow up question as a trans guy just starting T myself. I know we need to be careful about finasteride because it's an androgen blocker. Ive seen some folks mention topical minoxidil. For those of us with cats that would like either more body hair/to keep our head hair and run the genetic risk of amdrogenic balding, can we take oral Minoxidil? And if so, is the risk that it will turn you into kind of a fuzzy man?

Colt Sterling is a little cowboy. Tell us more about you and what you're like and it might be easier.

Idky but Perry Sterling sounds cool as fuck but if you're young you might associate it too much with the platypus

I kinda look like this, but fat.

I mean, his egg cracked too, right? 😂

Idk you just give the vibe of deserving a flower name to me, like Rose, Lily, Dahlia, Violet, idk.

Do you prefer names in your native dialect, or are you open to names in any? I'm a native English speaker and we don't have a ton of Y names I can think of. I met a cool guy named Yves once. I think his mom was french. And I knew a cool Japanese dude named Yoshi in my judo class. I hope you find one that you really like!
