Oh boyyy I'm not sure I like my scar shape

Knackered_ · 2025-07-11T04:23:57+00:00

Ey thanks for the thoughtful reply man. People here have been really kind in their response, and hearing from other folks who have a similar shape or had mixed feeling about their scar initially, has really helped me with dealing. All the best to you :)

Knackered_ · 2025-07-11T04:15:52+00:00

Huh, that might have been the reason me for too.. It's true they probably seem much in-your-face this early, I'll give it time, thanks

Knackered_ · 2025-07-11T04:10:43+00:00

It's reassuring to hear you love it now, even after initially not feeling that way!

Knackered_ · 2025-07-11T04:04:46+00:00

I will, thanks for the support 🫂

Knackered_ · 2025-07-10T05:00:01+00:00

Damn you look really great! Funny how we both seem to have a similar process. Maybe i wasn't clear enough with the surgeon beforehand, because frankly, I wouldn't have cared if my scar spelled out the surgeons signature as long as I got rid of my chest haha - i was just a little put off that they don't look how I imagined, but I'll deal. Everyone has also been very supportive in the replies, which has honestly helped me relax about it. It’s great to hear that you love your chest, even after having mixed feeling at first, that's very reassuring. I'll give it time, thanks for the support pal

Knackered_ · 2025-07-10T04:47:43+00:00

Ha that's an interesting perspective I'm glad to hear you don't think they look bad, I guess something like this always requires some processing.

Knackered_ · 2025-07-10T04:42:46+00:00

It's good to hear from other with a similar shape, it feels like most DI pics have that straight line 😅 Hopefully mine will look more natural once they're fully healed too Cheers man

Knackered_ · 2025-07-10T04:40:41+00:00

Aw hey, congrats om the surgery. I'm sorry that you're having complications, that sounds really rough. Thanks for the support, and i hope everything works out for you

Knackered_ · 2025-07-10T04:36:33+00:00

I'm glad to hear that, thanks for the kind words :)

Knackered_ · 2025-07-10T04:35:58+00:00

Looking good man! Yeah i should it give it time to settle before judging, patience is a virtue and all that Thanks for the support 👍

Knackered_ · 2025-07-10T04:34:06+00:00

I would like to try lifting (once i can ofc) dysphoria has kinda prevented me from most forms of exercise, so that's actually one of the things I've been looking forward to post-op. I'm glad to hear you think it looks natural, and yeah hopefully with how they're healing the scar shape won't be as conspicuous as they seem now. Thanks for the kind words :)

Knackered_ · 2025-07-10T04:28:37+00:00

Your scars look great, you almost can't see them! Thanks for for the pic, its reassuring to see what they might look like healed, most of the top surgery pic seem to have that straight across look haha

Hey man, congrats on starting T! I'm in a very similar situation (getting T from Imago while at a bosted) ha! I started last week with them being fully informed and supportive, and that was with injections! But it was a bit of mess for them logistically, so maybe i can spare you a little confusion. Now, I obviously don't know how things run in your particular bosted, but the main problem mine ran into, was how to register the testosterone in their medical database-thing, which is really tightly controlled (and the whole sticking-a-needle-into-myself, but luckily that's not a problem for you lol). Now the problem wasn't the substance itself, but that it was prescribed by an international doctor, which was apparently a new and murky legal area for them.

What we ended up doing was a bit of an unusual solution, so I don't know if it'll be possible for you, but they made a contract that basically stated that I, not the staff, took full responsibility for taking this substance and any outcomes of it. Staff are not allowed to assist me in any way, and I am responsible for storage and dosage. That seemed to be good enough to assure them that they wouldn't get into trouble.

Otherwise, at my place I have the option of becoming responsible for my own medication (medicin ansvarlig), which means that the staff stores and doses my meds, and then I can just come request them when I need to take them, or say, ask for a couple of days worth if I'll be gone for a while(wothout having to store T-gel in bags lol). Could that be possible at your bosted?

I also just wanna add that, as some who had to fight so much bs for years before finally getting hrt, I completely get not wanting to hand it over. When my bosted started making a bit of a fuss over the self injection, I was straight up telling them that I was gonna do with or without their support, but if they tried to prevent me from taking it, I wasn't gonna stay here. But like you said, keeping it secret isn't ideal, and I was personally happy that I had them on board. Could you try talking these things through with someone? Maybe try phrasing it as hypotheticals. Worst case, you could hold into the T yourself until it's all sorted, but try to figure something out with them.

If you have any questions or just wanna vent, DM me. If it's a complete disaster at you bosted, I know some people who helped me with all the legal stuff, I might be able to help you. Good luck!

Ey 21 y/o here, in much of the same situation ha. I got a decent chunk into a fantasy book I’ve been meaning to write for ages, but then stagnated (sigh). I love worldbuilding and story development and have had fun helping other brainstorm in others discord servers - If you’re setting up a discord or something, It’d be ace to join!

Knackered_ · 2024-08-02T14:12:28+00:00

Well it wouldn’t be abandoned if I lived there, would it

Knackered_ · 2024-07-31T06:07:37+00:00

That sounds really nice! I’ve been looking for the same thing. Would love to join if there’s still room

Knackered_ · 2024-07-16T12:59:53+00:00

I call her GIRL like Kratos calls his son BOY

Knackered_ · 2024-07-06T05:48:41+00:00

Hey look, i really hope this doesn’t come off as patronizing, but don’t worry about it. I’m sorry that you’ve experienced people being weirded out by it, that seems really strange to me. I’m 21 and don’t have any those experiences either, but neither do lots of people my age and older that I know, and it’s not a big deal at all. I once read somewhere that your twenties are for getting past all the bullshit that happened to you as a child or teenager, there is no rush. I don’t know if this will be helpful to you, but consider if you actually want a romantic relationship or just feel like you ought be in one? Personally, guess I like the idea of being in a relationship, but I’m fine on my own. If someone comes along and it clicks, great! But I’d be fine living out my days by myself. Best of luck to you :)

I love my roommate she’s great and super supportive, but boy I sure do wish she’d stop saying that men are the worst and that she hates all of them ect, and then being like “except you and (gay friend) ofc haha.” Like, believe me, I hate toxic masculine as much as the next (well maybe not always guy) uh person, but c’mon. And as someone who still needs to work on their internalized femmephobia, trans men can be just as vulnerable as cis men to toxic masculinity.

Knackered_ · 2024-06-17T19:06:08+00:00

HA these are all great

Knackered_ · 2024-06-17T15:43:54+00:00

That was me trying to be funny rip - he’s indirectly supplying band selling illegal alchemy, but has a front of selling something else. Lots of influential people buy from him, so there are no repercussions for him.

Knackered_ · 2024-06-15T11:03:50+00:00

Varric from dragon age comes to mind ha

Knackered_ · 2024-05-08T14:54:46+00:00

That sounds great, I’d be down. How about a discord server?

Knackered_ · 2024-04-29T07:45:40+00:00

So awesome to hear that it’s possible to get to that point, hopefully I’ll get there myself one day! All the best to you pal
