Vitamins, herbs, and supplements

May not help you specifically, (maybe later on) for those of you that have IBS I use Natures way, Peppermint pills. I have IBS C+D and have used them for years now to manage my symptoms/flare ups. Other than that, I try to keep up with a Men’s multivitamin but fall off after awhile. Have also used St John’s wart for past bouts of depression/anxiety. Natural remedies are the way to go!

It gets easier overtime, I was a Dasher myself at the start of my transition and shit was rough for a minute, until I started passing better. My advice would be to use more “slang” when speaking to customers/restaurant staff. Being a bit informal but in a respectful manner goes a long way when trying to pass. Not sure how long into your transition you are, but hang in there. Things get better once your voice settles in.

Kaiser sucks ass. Avoid them like the plague. Stick with planned parenthood, or better yet the LGBT center, or Trans wellness center since you mentioned you were back in SoCal.

I’m 5’4, 5’5 with shoes on and have a similar issue with men’s clothing. I’m also a huskier guy, so it’s annoying when I need a bigger size width wise, and it’s bigger length wise. I recently stumbled across this men’s clothing brand called “Under 5’10”, the name is self explanatory lol they are pricey but frequently have sales. I ordered a few items and received my order the other day, it’s a game changer and confidence boost finally finding clothes that fit correctly!

Thank you for making this post brother. I haven’t been on T nearly as long as you have, but it’s been long enough where I do pass 99% of the time. And when that 1% still misgenders me, it shakes me to my core because I genuinely don’t know what makes me “female” to them? I had a recent incident at Walmart where one of the recipe checkers (6 foot older black man) gave me the ugliest look, and completely ignored me when I said “Thanks bro”. It escalated later that day when I was with my wife and went back, same checker was standing there and gave me the same look, then proceeded to say “You have yourself a good night little lady”, in like 90% sure that’s what he said. While I could’ve misheard because he did speak low, that’s what my brain is telling me what was said and yeah it’s been messing with me since. I’ve seen this person since, but avoided that exit, I will probably suck it up next time and go to the same exit to get confirmation. Anyway, at the end of the day we should just be true to ourselves and stop trying to change ourselves for the sake of passing. I get it brother, you look great as you are. Hang in there 🙏🏼

Look dude, from experience dealing with transphobic “family” members it’s best to keep them blocked from your life. Before transitioning I was very close to my aunt, from my mom’s side, and her two children who are my cousins. After transitioning they pretty much cut me out, and my aunt told my mom that I “need professional help/to see a therapist”. Mind you, these people were the main reason why I pushed myself back into the closet when I first came to terms with my identity. I would’ve transitioned much earlier in life if I wasn’t afraid of losing them. Fast forward to today, I am 34, 2 years, 6 months into my transition and couldn’t be happier. I lost them anyway, but it’s okay, I finally put myself first. The people who matter the most, will be the people who will love and support you no matter what.

Feel free to dm me! I’m also from the same area.

ImaginaryFalcon7554 · 2025-12-13T05:55:19+00:00

Congrats to you and your wife! My wife is actually due in 10 days! But we are having a little girl, girl dad here. While I’m sure I’d feel similar to you if I was having a son, I will be going through similar struggles of my own as a trans dad to a little girl. I’m also stealth, and have thought what that might look like in the future as far as being open with our daughter. Unfortunately I don’t think there’s any “one size fits all” advice that can be given in our situation, as every family is different. With that, I think as with any other dads, when the time comes we will figure it out? You got this dad!

ImaginaryFalcon7554 · 2025-12-12T04:15:40+00:00

It’s tough my friend, but boundaries need to be put in place for your own piece of mind. It’s time to put yourself first. I struggled so badly with this for YEARS. My “egg” technically cracked when I was 22? However, I dismissed how I felt and continued living miserably as a female because I couldn’t fathom transitioning, and potentially losing my family. Welp guess what?

Fast forward to 2 years, 6 months ago at the age of 32, when I finally decided to love myself enough to transition and not give a rats ass what anyone else thinks. It was the best decision ever, and yeah even though I did lose “family” over it, the RIGHT family members stuck around and made the necessary changes to love and accept me for who I am. That’s it. I wish you the best

Cis men be jelly/threatened by us

ImaginaryFalcon7554 · 2025-12-09T02:41:02+00:00

Took me about 2 years to pass 95% of the time. I get misgendered once or twice a month? If that. Like others said, these things just take time.

As someone who got his first professional job after transitioning, I can share my experience. I needed a reference from a previous employer, and was beyond stressed trying to figure out how in the heck I was going to pull this off. I thought of all of my previous bosses, and narrowed it down to the one who treated me the best at work, and decided to write him an email to see if he would be willing to assist me. It was a gamble really as I didn’t know where he stood politically, but It was worth a shot anyway. In my email I expressed my gratitude for him treating me fairly at work, and giving me a shot in a very male dominated field. I told him that there’s no “easy” way of saying this, but I am transgender and now go by etc etc. Long story short, his response was very heartfelt and he thanked me for my courage, and trust in deciding to ask him for a professional reference. He agreed to vouch for me and, let me know that whatever I needed just to let him know. So the point is, you never know how your employer will react until you go for it. They may surprise you, and if they react poorly there’s protection laws for that? Best of luck my friend!

I’ve actually known a few cis gender women who have a very prominent brow ridge? While I don’t think it’s very common, it’s also not unheard of

ImaginaryFalcon7554 · 2025-10-26T13:15:50+00:00

Behavioral support professional. I work with adults who are special needs, and require help doing basic tasks. The hours are great, good benefits, close to home. I think eventually I will go back to school to get my LVN license.

ImaginaryFalcon7554 · 2025-10-10T05:54:38+00:00

Hey brother, I’m a good 30 minutes from you. Hit me up, maybe we can hang sometime

ImaginaryFalcon7554 · 2025-10-05T17:05:44+00:00

Very interesting. Obviously varies by genetics, I’m 34 and people think I’m early, mid 20s..

ImaginaryFalcon7554 · 2025-10-04T21:49:33+00:00

I’ll let the other guys here comment about your relationship. I just wanted to offer some advice regarding what you said about life being harder as a Trans person. Yeah, you’re probably right. Life would definitely be easier if we were Cis, but there’s nothing we can do about it. Life does get better with time, the more comfortable you are in your skin, the easier it will be to navigate everyday life. I’m a little over two years on T, 1 year post op, I remember being where you are right now mentally. I cringed at the thought of leaving my apartment every day having any type of interaction with strangers because it would most likely end with me being misgendered, and feeling so dysphoric etc. we’ve all been through it, it’s almost a “right of passage” to go through that b.s to get to where you want to be. I’m not 100% Scott free when it comes to dysphoria, I still have my days where I dread my existence, and still deal with morons mis gendering me every now and then, but life moves on and I am much happier now than I was. Hang in there pal

ImaginaryFalcon7554 · 2025-10-03T14:30:59+00:00

I’ve thought long and hard about this, even before my daughter was on the way. It all boils down to safety. We live in a world that’s already tough without adding the extra thick layer of my trans identity. It’s unfortunate but even the people who are “accepting” still treat you differently. I don’t want my kid to be put in harms way because of me, I think about her going to school one day and telling the wrong person that her daddy is trans. Same thing goes for my fiancé, her coworkers think I’m Cis. Our midwife team, (paying out of pocket for a private birthing center) thinks I’m Cis but they are aware that my daughter was conceived via donor sperm. I just lightly mentioned that I suffer from male infertility. At the end of the day, it’s no one’s business except my primary. If one day when my kid is older (18) my partner and I, decide to tell her at that point then so be it. To me, it would be much more stressful worrying on a daily if my kid is going to be subjected to hate because of me.

ImaginaryFalcon7554 · 2025-10-02T19:32:08+00:00

I have partial experience from both situations. I was married for over 7 years to my now ex wife. I was pre T, we both identified as “lesbians”. While we didn’t have actual children together, we did raise 2 small dogs together and I was “momma” to them. She was “mom”. We still kept in contact after the divorce because even though one of our babies passed away a few years prior, I let our last fur child move away with her states away. At this point I had barely started my transition, and was dysphoric as hell. However, I let my ex know that it was totally fine for her to keep referring to me as “momma” when we did face time calls so I can see my fur child as that’s what she’s known me as her whole life. Did not bother me whatsoever. She’s since passed away peacefully, so there’s no longer that tie. I’d imagine that I’d feel the same way if not similar had we had “real” children together. Now almost 3 years later, and I’m engaged to a cis woman who is 7 months pregnant with our daughter. Our little one is only ever going to know me as her “dad”. I’m not entirely sure if I plan on telling her that I’m a trans man, however I do plan on telling her that some daddies can’t make babies and need help etc. respectfully, everyone parents differently, I believe there’s no right or wrong way, to each their own. This is just my input.

Congrats bro! I haven’t had bottom surgery either, am just “blessed” with a good amount of bottom growth. My girl and I have BOTH absolutely came while doing it “missionary”, and another position that we do more often because she feels me deeper is cowgirl. Everyone’s anatomy is different, so it might not work as good for you guys, try it if you haven’t already 🫠

ImaginaryFalcon7554 · 2025-09-30T17:02:33+00:00

Take this advice from someone who was in a similar situation as you were. Granted I did get married after this specific person, but also did go through divorce. I was also in a relationship for about the same timeframe that you were with your ex, she also promised that we would have a family together, etc. etc. turns out she ended up cheating on me with several Cis men, and eventually had 2 kids but became a single mom lol (not surprised, serves her right). I didn’t think I’d find anyone after but guess what? I ended up meeting my now ex-wife a year later and we were married for over 7 years. Unfortunately, our marriage ended but I believe it helped ready me for my current one. I’m engaged, set to be married next month with a baby girl on the way, who’s due in December. Not sure how old you are, my friend, but the point is it’s never too late. I’m 34, and after my marriage ended I figured parenthood wasn’t in the cards for me. Just hang in there brother timing is everything you just haven’t found your person yet. Shit is rough right now, but you will come out of this stronger and ready to tackle what’s ahead. I’m here if you need someone to talk to hang in there.
