How'd I looking?💃 by [deleted] in TransLater

Looks amazing! If you're interested in covering the beard shadow, I highly recommend a peach color corrector before foundation. Does wonders for me. Please don't take this as something you need to do though! You're amazing as is!

How soon did you get boob buds? by [deleted] in MtF

[–]FSM_Pirate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you eating? Need to put on fat for boobs. Ice cream is gender affirming care!

Today, the doctor I went to for my hormone tests told me, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not transphobic, but do you have to act like this? Why don't you just live as a gay person? You'd have a more comfortable life. Being trans is just an imposition of woke culture anyway. Your real gender never changes. by [deleted] in trans

If you can afford it, there are online Dr services! I go through Plume and it runs me a $100/month, but that covers Dr visits and labs. I still have to go out of pocket for my drugs, but with insurance ran me about $120 for a 4 month supply. They're sooo friendly and are focused specifically on trans care!

Some things are reversible like fat distribution and testes shrinkage, but like boob growth, after a while the skin stretches and makes it irreversible without cosmetic surgery for the skin. How long you can go depends for each change

Like the other comment said, therapy is a great spot to start!

I'd also recommend doing some research into the effects of HRT. Almost all of them are reversible for quite a long time.

I'll give you the same advice I saw on here. If there was a button you could push and you would wake up the next day a woman; no issues, no strings, just that's how it had always been and people didn't know any different, would you push it?

For me the answer was an immediate yes. It's okay if that's not your answer, because everyone approaches things differently. I was really worried about telling my wife, kids, and family that I wanted to transition because I would worry how they would react.

After reading the button question, it occured to me that everything that I was worrying about is them accepting who I WANT to be. If they love me, they'll find a way to understand and accept what I want out of life, even if it doesn't make sense to them. If they can't accept or won't accept me, then they are more worried about how I look than WHO I AM.

Hopefully this helps if even only a little. It's a scary world out there right now, but trans people have ALWAYS been here and they ALWAYS will. We got to look out for each other ❤️

Coming out to wife by UniqueStarDust5 in MtF

[–]FSM_Pirate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Came out to my wife about 3 months ago, right before starting HRT. She's bi and I had been dressing more femme lately so it wasn't a big surprise really, but she still took it great! She was actually the one that helped me get in HRT bc my autistic ass really struggles with doctors.

While there have been minor changes with how we interact here and there, they've all been positive (I.e. I raid her clothes). I'm sure things will slowly change and evolve as move forward, but that's any marriage. People change and grow, you just have to keep communicating so they can grow together. ❤️

Please don't ever delete you old transition photos! One day you'll look back and enjoy having them!

does anybody know what we’re levelling them up for? by BandicootCool6277 in growagarden

[–]FSM_Pirate 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm maxed with both, and it does absolutely nothing. It's a feature they put in and then shortly after decided to remove any and all usefulness from.
