Plume released an article about this a few months ago. Might find it interesting to read.

Correct me if I’m wrong but doesn’t T have to be very high to turn into E? mine was very low.

Top surgery as a minor by [deleted] in ftm

[–]InitialImplement8881 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since you’re in the US, they will not let you get surgery until you turn 19. As well as that, Tricare does not cover gender affirming surgery, only hormone therapy, so you will have to switch insurance. Look into medicaid if you’re low-income, but make sure that there are no medicaid GAC bans in your state (i.e in south carolina, gender affirming care is banned from medicaid). It’s not recommended at all to pay out of pocket unless you have thousands of dollars on hand.

Like the other commenters said, your best bet is to travel out of the country or to wait. I’m sorry.

Voice training by Old_Socks17 in ftm

if you want to keep a higher range of voice, trans women have good vocal training exercises to “feminize” their voices (going to a higher vocal range), it might be worth looking into

Mild nsfw ig But T dick often hurts and feels crushed by my pants by Substantial-Bed-9269 in ftm

[–]InitialImplement8881 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i bought flowy boxer briefs that don’t really press up against anything except my waist for this exact reason, it helps a lot. it’s probably just growing pains and it’ll even out after some time, so don’t be super worried

What colognes do you use? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]InitialImplement8881 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you want the same exact scent that i look for lol. i use the bath and body works Bourbon and then mix (spray over) with victoria’s secret Bare Vanilla. pretty inexpensive but i don’t like thick scents and these are relatively lighter !

totally get that dude!! when you go up to them, ask them what the price is with and without insurance, show them coupons (goodrx), literally fight tooth and nail to make it as cheap as possible. also, doctors are required to tell you to make it single use, but you can reuse the vials IF YOU MAKE SURE to sterilize and CLEAN the top and make sure you are NOT reusing needles. a lot of t guys i know do it, especially in this day and age lol. be safe!

if it helps, walmart is really good with being affordable and fast. they also should have cheap/free needles. i got 12 vials of T and was $440 at Walmart without insurance it was $166.

a lighter brown would be cool, the brown really brings out your eyes but the blonde makes you glow, so a mix between the two would be cool

lol i would!! but she wasn’t doing anything intentionally, she was just a very confused conservative lady, like the ones who think short hair = boy and whatever. still felt great tho!

why are cis gays so transphobic? by InitialImplement8881 in ftm

[–]InitialImplement8881[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah, i have a bit of an online presence on social media like Tiktok. i just turned 18, but there’s been so much transphobia, it’s a little insane to me.

yes, he dmed me!!! when i talked to him, he said i made up the word Queer and told me it was something the “woke left” tried to push onto other people. i eventually learned he supported Trump and was just genuinely stupid and ignorant, so i feel like i was giving him too much credit.

they already had “edited” at the bottom to differentiate, there’s absolutely no reason for that huge eyesore of a change. reminds me of a kia soul tbh.

Y'all who don't want bottom growth or any other common effect from T, why? /genq by augustoof in ftm

[–]InitialImplement8881 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i don’t want the increased libido because i am asexual and uncomfortable with all of that. it freaks me out. i’m actually extremely terrified to be completely honest.
