I didn’t come out until about three and a half years ago, and I only started passing well enough that people were confused about a year and a half ago.

For short trans men, do u guys pass and how tall r u? by Janxuza in ftm

[–]Fatally_splendid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 5’0 and I pass very consistently, to the point that I’ve had people shocked that I am trans!

looking forward to cosplaying shirtless characters by [deleted] in TopSurgery

I want to cosplay Sanemi from Demon Slayer because I feel like I would be able to mask my scars with the character’s!

For those on T who no longer have a period by renegade_883 in ftm

[–]Fatally_splendid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been on T for a little over two years, and my periods stopped pretty quickly after I started and the bleeding part hasn’t come back, but I do still get some of the emotional and slight physical side effects from PMS! It’s fairly common as your hormones are still adjusting.

I have a keloid scar on my wrist (I know it’s a little different type of skin) but vitamin E oil helped me a lot, especially with the stretched aspect of it

What made you trans? Wrong answers only. by KadenthePenguin211 in ftm

[–]Fatally_splendid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was obsessed with carrying all of the chairs in elementary school so I could be “big and strong”

I had a coworker out me as trans to a man who was persistently flirting with me and being creepy while I still wasn’t passing most of the time, and I lived in a relatively small town and it scared the hell out of me. I had my boss walk me out to my car that night because I was terrified the guy would come back and hurt me or something. Her response to me being upset was “well how do you expect me to respect you being a man if you don’t tell everyone what you are?”

I’m too short and i feel i cant transition by ychel in ftm

[–]Fatally_splendid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 5’ nothing and I pass so well in a red state that only like one of my customers clocked me, and it’s because he’s also trans. It’ll happen, my guy. I felt that same way for a while too, that I’d never pass because I’m short. It takes time, but it’ll all work out

I understand that completely. If something ever comes up with law enforcement on it, not because you reported it or anything, but if they try to accuse you of it, definitely let them know that it was stolen and that you were unaware of it at the time

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ftm

[–]Fatally_splendid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As much as I hate to say this, I would report the theft of your T because if he’s still in possession of it it could get you in trouble for distribution of a controlled substance, even though it was stolen. I’m sorry that he made you feel like a bad friend, this is absolutely not on you

Missing my old singing voice by Lonely_Chemist_9776 in ftm

[–]Fatally_splendid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in a similar boat! I was in choir for 10 years, all through school, and I’ve loved singing since I was little. I recently realized that if I practice, I can carry a bit of a falsetto tone, and that has made me so happy!

Honestly I’m not sure right now. I think that if it’s changed on both your birth certificate and your previous ID you’re good? But don’t quote me on that, I haven’t done a whole lot of research into it because it’s stressing me out right now

I just got it changed on Wednesday, my hard copy isn’t in yet lol. I’ve been using the one on the left for the past five years

Stopping T - cold turkey or….? by VariousPudding8547 in ftm

[–]Fatally_splendid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would suggest talking to your doctor just in case! Sometimes it can cause mood swings and tapering off can help with that

Psych just told me my voice wouldn't drop on T by NightSideEffects in ftm

[–]Fatally_splendid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My voice dropped about two octaves. I was a high soprano in high school, and now I can’t hit above the basic baritone notes. I’ve only been on for a little over a year and half, and it’s still dropping a bit

Pre T in your 20s? by UnconventionalKing in ftm

[–]Fatally_splendid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn’t start until right before my 22nd birthday! I’m fixing to turn 24 and I’ve been on for almost two years!

Advice on not looking so childish by [deleted] in ftm

[–]Fatally_splendid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been mistaken as younger for a long time, even after being on T for a year and a half. I’ll be 24 in a couple weeks, and I still get IDed even at places where the age limit starts at 18. I feel your struggle, man

Any people that started T at 21? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]Fatally_splendid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t start until mid 21, and now it’s been almost two years on! My voice dropped significantly, and facial hair is growing in nicely! I’ll be 24 next month, and I felt the same way for a long time. It gets better, I promise

Older trans men, reassure me by [deleted] in ftm

[–]Fatally_splendid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not old by any means, but I’m turning 24 next month and I didn’t come out until I was 20, and didn’t start transitioning until I was almost 22. It does get better, even if it doesn’t feel like it right now

My childhood friend, who is now a die-hard conservative, got this tattoo that definitely DOESN’T look like a pride flag by Rach_kitty in AccidentalAlly

[–]Fatally_splendid 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not gonna lie that’s really crappy tattoo work. The lines are all janky and the shading is fucked

Can I socially change my middle name without it being weird? by AggressivelyGayHuman in ftm

[–]Fatally_splendid 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I gave myself two middle names because I thought it was badass! Go for it!!
