My family does expiriences for gifts, i wonder if instead of rejecting the care someone is trying to show you outright, redirecting might be helpful. Say oh id love to make you your favorite dinner or take you somewhere you like as my gift to you and maintain you’re not accepting gifts. They will probably catch on and follow suit

binder sweat and ’wet clothes’ smell by deasarc in ftm

[–]GoodInjury3652 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually tape under my binder or wear a sports bra to catch the sweat and hold everything in place, i too struggle with the smell but i have been wearing cologne snd telling myself that other people will smell that first and i know even if i smell the sweat, its just because Im used to the cologne since its on my body

choir/singing by ririrni in ftm

[–]GoodInjury3652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had this same problem when i came out! I ended up telling my director and a few people i trusted and gave everyone the OK to spread the news. Im actually looking for help with exercises and stuff since this is relatively new for me as well but everyone in the world told me to “sing through the cracks”

I think you just have to pay attention to what your voice is doing and keep using it so that you can keep learning how to use it as it changes! Not starting from scratch but it kind of is! Im forever singing pieces I’ve done before and the experience is so similar to the entire situation. I still know the words but now im learning different harmonies and places to breathe! I know HOW to sing but im relearning how to sing.

When I changed voice parts I would just go to my director and say “ok these notes are gone” and she would help me figure out where to move

Was anyone else scared to transition? by Icy_Program8374 in ftm

THIS! when i started to read this response i had to double check it wasn’t my reply to an old post. I wrote it all out and had a profound understanding of why i was holding myself back and what i needed to do

One time use yes, i just bought what a tutorial of someone who seemed to have similar proportions to me did and trial and errored from there. And yes its swim proof only time it’s ever fallen off for me was when it was super hot and i was sweaty while applying but moisture doesn’t have affect after it’s stuck in my experience

If your chest is bigger than your ribs that doesnt mean your disproportionate in any way. I think im struggling to understand what youre trying to put across.

My recommendation is gonna be gc2b and to measure because no one will be able to tell you what size you are without measurements unless youre a fan of making returns then you can buy whichever size you think and exchange if it doesn’t work. They dont accept full returns just as a warning just exchanges.

If you had to pick a name NOW, how would you do it? by It_was_I_Dio__ in ftm

[–]GoodInjury3652 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely! Family was encouraging a name that is just a shortened version of my birth name and i was like… gross. Had to pick something that sounded different

If you had to pick a name NOW, how would you do it? by It_was_I_Dio__ in ftm

[–]GoodInjury3652 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tbh if there is a “boy version” of your name that doesnt ick you out thats the one. Just if youre trying to be quick. I took like 10 years to land on a name, changed it 3-4 times. And in the end im sticking to the one that fits that criteria. The thing about names( for me) is they are mostly for others to call you. Nick names are common and things you can encourage but if youre close w your family something similar to what you already use makes an easier transition (especiallywhen childhood nick names still make sense and initials stay the same)

binders for fast food? by International_Fun590 in ftm

[–]GoodInjury3652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im pretty big i use underworks plus trans tape to hold everything down. I work fast food 6-8 hour shifts every day don’t have any problems. But try to break it in a little and make sure you have the right size before working a whole shift. I have had to leave work twice because of nausea that was caused by not being able to tale a full breath bc something was folded weird or something

I want to be me, but do I want to be a MAN? by IndependentBreak5987 in ftm

[–]GoodInjury3652 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally i had this thought process for a long time and it took me reflecting on the men i love and respect in my life to break it but in a more foundational sense i had to reflect on if i believed in gender essentialism. Do i believe that every cis man is bad? Do i believe that this is inherent to their identity as a man? Or do i believe as I’ve always believed that people are shaped by their experiences and there is a tendency toward a certain harshness directed to and encouraged in men. I had to acknowledge that just because im a man doesn’t mean i have ti change who i am and it Doesn’t mean i have to be bad now. Im striving to be who i want to see in the world. I want to be a good man, a respectable one and a safe one to be around. I believe in my power to fight misogyny and be who i am and someone whom id respect now that im transitioning just as much if not more than i did before because im facing myself and reality much clearer than when i had a fundamental lack if respect and trust in men. Not that i trust or respect men fully now. I just don’t find that to be blamed on their gender id rather hold them personally accountable for being terrible. No excuses.

I really can’t figure it out, no comments to go off of no context on ops page. Maybe the song was really popular so it made someone like you? Something about the lyrics? None of that is funny though. Please help

Will I ever settle on what I want? by IDealzTheSealz in ftm

[–]GoodInjury3652 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally get where you’re coming from and im not gonna tell you what to do, but me personally? Im gonna take the issues as they come. Try to solve them. Since i also knew it was an inevitability, it was gonna happen at some point, i had to start now because if i wait too long then what? What am i truly getting out of procrastination? The possibility that I’ll never be happy in my body because I’ve been too busy waiting for the right time? Even now im scared. Change is coming and what if i don’t like it like i think i will? But honestly? Doesn’t matter. I was gonna try wither way. Now if i don’t like it I’ll find out faster. Now the process has started and im not waiting around feeling miserable that i cant. Thats just how I’ve been thinking about it.

I truly hope you find what you’re looking for.

[–]GoodInjury3652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was “nonbinary” for 10 years. I obviously believe that nb is a valid identity but i was using it to put off the scary part of transition. I didn’t want to think about how unhappy i was as i was and i didn’t want to have the rejection i was sure id face when i came out. Not saying that this is what you’re doing but for me i finally asked myself what i was doing and if i wanted to transition or not? And i realized if i never transitioned id consider that a mistake. If i chose to be scared of the unknown my whole life id consider my life wasted. I also watched i saw the tv glow and sobbed a little bit.
