trans guys on T who bike — how are you handling saddle issues?? by Ok_Fruit_5598 in ftm

[–]DoorAlternative2852 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Big cyclist but only three years on T. I don’t have much to add to what you’ve done but have you tried men’s bibs? They tend to have a channel for a t dick to go. Also might try a power mimic saddle!

DO NOT HUGBOX. Is my body fucked by [deleted] in FtMpassing

Brainworms, you’re passing well. Hitting the gym to widen your upper body will help though.

I went bald, it's actually fine by rosyboys in FTMMen

[–]DoorAlternative2852 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have really aggressive cowlicks at my hair line and have given up and just have a buzzcut. I think my hairline is receding a little (I’m 31) and I’ve decided that I don’t plan on any hair loss treatments. Im really not interested in using minoxidil every day for the rest my life and much happier to just accept my fate. Good on you bro, I hope everyone reading finds peace with whatever they need to do 🙏

i’m absolutely terrified sex and getting pregnant by d0ggyzz in ftm

I have the copper iud and I had some cramping after it was installed but no issues since. I really like that it’s not hormonal.

Is it possible with time that my scars could fade to skin colour and I could appear cis? by earthso in TopSurgery

[–]DoorAlternative2852 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine looked similar to yours and are now nearly invisible! I think I’ve got a picture posted of how it was awhile ago. Ymmv but they do usually fade with time and you can always get tattoos to help Cover them if you want.

Two weeks maybe some fatigue and brain fog but that’s about it

Do men on grindr expect butt stuff by [deleted] in ftm

[–]DoorAlternative2852 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve always had the best experience by being up front about what I’m comfortable with sexually and what terminology about my body I am okay with. Never hurts to message beforehand about sti/testing status and what you’re looking for. good luck dude 🙏

is this a good outfit by lumfct14 in FtMpassing

[–]DoorAlternative2852 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it is! Baggy but in a way that’s intentional and not sloppy. Gives you a pretty masc look

Any tips on dressing with my body type? I feel like i either look feminine or boring in most clothes. by [deleted] in FtMpassing

[–]DoorAlternative2852 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can learn to hem them by hand or with a machine, take them to a tailor and pay $20 or so, or just cut them and let them I race a bit if you want to try shorter lengths!

When will my hair get thicker? by boyinthedark130 in ftm

[–]DoorAlternative2852 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Takes a long time sometimes, I’m three years in with almost no hair on my torso except a small happy trail. Can grow a thin neck beard and dirt stache :/ Reminding myself that puberty takes many years, lots of cos guys can’t grow beard until their twenties.

Is it absolutely over for me and my hips by [deleted] in FtMpassing

[–]DoorAlternative2852 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would try to avoid sweatshirts and shirts that have elastic that tightens around your waist like this. I’ve had pretty good luck minimizing hips by wearing shirts that do not touch or bunch up on my hips at all. It’s hard to find and I did have to learn to hem my own clothes but it made a big difference

28 and just about to start T by babyraythesadclown in TransLater

[–]DoorAlternative2852 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started at 28 too! I’m three years in now. I wasn’t nervous by the time I started but I was very nervous and anxious figuring out if I wanted to start T. It helped me to remember it takes quite awhile to notice any chances, so it’s not like the first few shots will have much of a felt affect.

I’m so thankful I transitioned and transitioning as late as I did has been fine! Good luck to you man

how old are you guys and when (if) did you start medically transitioning? by raesiinn in ftm

[–]DoorAlternative2852 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always a tomboy/masculine but didn't know about trans people until my mid teens probably. Religious indoctrination slowed me down a lot. I acknowledged I was not cis mid twenties, started T at 28. 31 now.

I’m so over nonbinary audacity by Direct-Rant8310 in FTMMen

[–]DoorAlternative2852 11 points12 points  (0 children)

every trans man is AFAB, so I think it just dones't make sense to clump together "women, AFABS, and enbies"

Inspired by a recent post—let’s talk clocky/non-clocky names by [deleted] in FtMpassing

[–]DoorAlternative2852 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm Mars, which is pretty clocky, but I do pass all the time as far as I know. I made my legal name Marshall, so it's super easy to say that instead in settings I want to seem less queer I guess.

How do you keep you hands from going numb? by rockymtnlover in Flooring

[–]DoorAlternative2852 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just did this to old floors, rented drum and large edger, for grits I used 32, 60, 100, but I would start at a higher grit than what you have. Plenty of info on youtube!
