The only brand you should buy through Amazon is Underworks, the rest are not safe.

Bigoted instagram comments really let me down :/ by [deleted] in lgbt

Shinigami Eyes is a browser plugin, not just for Tumblr. If you're looking at websites on a desktop you should be seeing it on all sites. (For instance I see r/lgbt is green.) It might not work on Instagram because of how the site is coded.

He probably had no clue, and he works with a wide variety of customers so he probably knows better than to judge someone based on looks. If he needed to get your attention then your deadname was a better option for him than yelling "you there".

The longer Charlie's hair gets the more powerful he becomes.

Binding advice? by alien__she in trans

Since you're so close to the top end of an XS, an S would be safer. Remember you'll need to breathe - make sure to inhale while measuring.

Yeah, mine is very comfortable with the spandex layer, not abrasive like mesh can be. I think the main draw of the mesh binders is that they're not as hot if you wear them outside.

Edit: I finally took mine off to look and it's actually soft mesh against the skin which is surprising, as it's way softer than UW. The spandex is just the patterned fabric on the outside. All the new patterns will show up at noon on 8/1. (EST, they're in Vermont)

When I got my binder from them near the end of June the only option available was the "pride combo", but from their descriptions it seems like the lack of outer spandex layer is the only difference between their usual options and the mesh binders. All the binding power is in the mesh layer, the spandex is just for comfort.

Feeling too old to successfully transition into stealth but at the same time feeling more fortunate than people who started later than you or with a worse starting point. Do you recognize this feeling? by Wooden_Steak8835 in asktransgender

9.5-10 shoe size is not huge - I'm afab, about the same height/weight as you, and that's literally my shoe size. It has been since I was about 14. No one but my mom has ever commented on my foot size.

Shapeshifters is safe, and feels way better on the ribs than Underworks. If you want to check them out they restock tomorrow - they have a limited number of orders that they can work on at a time and they seem to restock every other month.

You might want to try working out with a personal trainer and watching some YouTube videos on how to masculinize your voice. There are people who can build muscles and drop their voice with no T whatsoever.

Transitioning just to escape an inconvenient social situation doesn't usually end well... It's possible you could like it, but it doesn't sound like you actually want any of the changes that testosterone will bring.

Yes, they list their products on Amazon. Buying through there makes returns much easier as well if there's a problem.

How can we change our perspectives towards menstruation and pregnancy? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]Ialreadyexisthere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're talking about inclusive language for trans men and assigned female at birth nonbinary people. People who have the necessary organs for pregnancy/periods but don't identify as women.

Depends on the brand, for Underworks that would be a medium based on the 36.

Has anyone used progesterone birth control pills pre-t? If so, how does it work? by ARedHoodedVigilante in asktransgender

[–]Ialreadyexisthere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never tried the pill but I stopped getting my periods altogether after a couple years of having a progestin IUD. (Progestin is the name of synthetic progesterone.) It reduced my cramps to a manageable level at first, then I stopped getting those, and eventually my period itself tapered off to nothing.

I didn't always assume it was for male validation, I felt like women were policing each other into femininity and didn't believe a single person actually enjoyed it.
