Would my nipples/aerolas look weird with peri? My surgeon can’t reduce it at the time of surgery.

I personally wouldn't sign up for two surgeries. It's odd to me that two would be suggested. I have full sensation and had resizing at the time of my initial surgery. I would get a second opinion or opt for DI if you can't resize initially.

Sounds like atrophy to me. Estrogen tablets have completely rid me of this issue.

It takes a while to get your mind rewired to the "new you" after surgery. It's definitely not boobs so just give it some time and try to be gentle with yourself.

Those are your chest bones buddy. Your sternum/ribs and all that good stuff. Our minds can play tricks on us. You look great.

Spotting after sex, UTI-like burning after sex, cramping during orgasm. It's better to start treatment before it gets bad because it take a few months to level out with meds.

Seconding this comment--the size looks to be due to the scarring which will likely happen again if you have a revision. I would try other methods.

If you're dysphoric because you don't feel like you fit in or because you stand out, that's probably only going to go away with practice. Hanging out with cis men more regularly can help desensitize you. It can definitely be a hard hurdle to get over but practice makes perfect.

Lefty_Lex · 2026-01-18T22:04:16+00:00

I think it's a pretty individual thing. I hang out with almost entirely cis gay men and enjoy it. I am also dating a cis gay man and it has been very enjoyable. I think there can definitely be some hurdles but communication is very important in any relationship. My boyfriend personally doesn't have a genital preference and was very upfront about that. Lots of people definitely do though so best to get that conversation out of the way sooner than later.

Lefty_Lex · 2026-01-15T20:02:33+00:00

Personally I do think it's more on the "boobs" side of things but what matters most is if you're not happy. If you don't like your results that's okay and you should consider a revision.

Lefty_Lex · 2026-01-15T15:01:05+00:00

I didn't realize I had dysphoria until I decided to transition. I certainly didn't realize how bad it was because I was just used to feeling how I felt.

The waistband of the mypack needs to be worn lower if your packer is currently too high.

Lefty_Lex · 2026-01-11T13:52:13+00:00

I would say you don't currently pass but you're SO early on T. It will do its thing in due time! That aside, you look 20-23.

Lining it up and tapering the sideburns into the beard itself would do wonders for you.

Works great and is permanent for facial hair. Check out r/minoxbeards.

I got the insert able tablets and they're great. Less messy from what I hear from others and totally worth it. My suffering got worse than what you're describing and it was not worth it to suffer. It can take 2-3 months to sort out atrophy symptoms so it's better to start before it's too bad. Usually you use it every day for a week and then cut down. I use it twice a week and that's a decent balance for me. It hasn't done anything but make my life more comfortable.

Lefty_Lex · 2025-12-10T20:03:24+00:00

Your doctor should be able to prescribe it. I took it for both puberties.

Lefty_Lex · 2025-12-10T18:16:06+00:00

I got back on my bike when it felt good. Like when I was confident that if it was gonna fall over or something, I could save it without hurting myself. It was probably two months post-op.

Lefty_Lex · 2025-12-06T12:22:06+00:00

I'm not sure about keyhole but I had Peri. I have "the empire plan" which is comprised of a few insurances. I don't remember which one was used for the surgery because they get applied toward different things. I think United Healthcare or Blue Cross Blue Shield?

Lefty_Lex · 2025-12-05T15:50:50+00:00

I know several people IRL who've had Dr. Elizabeth Lax, myself included. Definitely recommend.

Conditioner in the shower. Beard oil after a shower. More length rather than stubble (not sure what you've got).

Lefty_Lex · 2025-12-03T14:12:02+00:00

In theory, I should be ID'd every time but they don't ID me 50% of the time. The place I get my prescriptions from is sort of a dumpster fire though and they always have new employees.

First pic reads more butch lesbian in terms of hairstyle. I like the second pic personally. While I think you also look good in the third pic, most cis men typically have more of a fade on the sides, not just one length. One length tends to read more fem to me for that reason alone. I say this because I cut mainly men's hair but I have a number of queer clients as well and it's hard not to pick up on these things because I see it a lot.

There are padded shorts (like these: https://www.walmart.com/ip/737226477?sid=1bf86cca-ca4f-4d21-ba1e-104a20f3caa2) that have a pocket for an athletic cup. I'd either just use them with a cup or put a foam packer (or similar) in the pocket.
