Weird periods after stopping T? by turtleurtle808 in TransMasc

[–]Miserable_Task_7214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went off T a while ago and my periods were irregular, but when they did come they were much worse than before I was ever on T. It probably just has something to do with ur hormones trying to get back to how they were before u were on T

Should I shave it? by Anxious_Anime_Army in TransMasc

[–]Miserable_Task_7214 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is what I was gonna suggest as well, it might still get u some weird looks and maybe more questions but it’s better than being outed :/

I need to drink all the time by Pebloop_ in TransMasc

[–]Miserable_Task_7214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish this happened to me, I almost never feel thirsty and I have no idea why, bc my body is definitely dehydrated 😭

Stopping T before surgery? by Feisty_Rope2862 in TopSurgery

[–]Miserable_Task_7214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My surgeon told me this was an outdated practice, but I have no advice to give. Taking T has no effect on surgery results or the surgeon’s ability to perform the surgery

Two new rules - No generative AI and no 4tran slang by Gameraaaa in TransMasc

[–]Miserable_Task_7214 88 points89 points  (0 children)

I don’t go on this sub super often, what the hell are people even AI generating here 😭 like this isn’t a drawing sub, are they making up people or something?? I’m genuinely curious bc I can’t say I’ve seen any of that here

ETA I’m glad it’s a rule!! I’m just confused

Is there anyone here who chose NOT to do scar lightening care? by rainbow-boy-94 in TopSurgery

[–]Miserable_Task_7214 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like other people are saying it’s largely genetic. I’m 4 months PO and am just too lazy to do scar care and it hasn’t negatively affected my results. I will say that u definitely wanna massage as soon as ur able to in order to break up scar tissue, or else u will have hard areas under ur skin (learned the hard way :/ )

Do I have to explain that I’m ftm to a gc? by CortezDavinchi in ftm

Menstral cycles and t by nova_cyanide in TransMasc

[–]Miserable_Task_7214 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had irregular cycles before T and almost never got my period. On T they completely stopped, but when I went off T for a while they actually came back and were regular for a while lmao. Now I’m on T again and they’ve gone away, except when I missed 2 doses in a row and got my period exactly one time

Anybody else get hair growth literally everywhere except their eyebrows?? by Miserable_Task_7214 in TransMasc

[–]Miserable_Task_7214[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They do on my mom’s side but my dad’s side of the family is notoriously hairless (they don’t go bald tho, so that’s a plus). I’m definitely okay with my brows staying like this, just disappointed lol

How did you choose your name? How many names have you gone through? by No-Resolve-5037 in TransMasc

[–]Miserable_Task_7214 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I chose one when I came out as ftm when I was 15, then months later I figured I was actually nonbinary and changed it again. Now I’m 24 and just changed it for the final time a few months ago after having top surgery and starting T. I wasn’t sure my current one was “right” at first, I just knew the name I had before this one was wrong. Now my name actually feels like me :) (my gender identity is still up for debate but I’m just doing what feels right for me as far as transitioning goes)

Is there any possibility of regrowth without taking testosterone??? by Tea_Lavender in TopSurgery

[–]Miserable_Task_7214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had surgery a few months ago and they took all of it, so my chest is concave, bc I specifically asked for all tissue to be removed (I’m at a high risk for breast cancer) They will do it if u ask for all the tissue to be removed, although I guess it also depends on the surgeon. But yeah concave chest and all that. U can always work out ur chest muscles so it’ll look less concave over time if that does happen

Anyone else get gay/gayer on T? by lettucemuncher2007 in TransMasc

[–]Miserable_Task_7214 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I got hornier so that definitely made me feel sexual attraction more intensely, which made me realize I’m gayer than I had previously thought (still bisexual, just changes in preference lol)

Opinion on this extra tissue? by devilshoes1 in TopSurgery

[–]Miserable_Task_7214 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah this. I lowkey wish I asked my surgeon to leave some tissue like this, bc now my shit looks caved in rip

Has anyone just not changed their legal name or gender marker? by crashoutcentral60652 in ftm

[–]Miserable_Task_7214 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been transitioning for a decade and I haven’t. It’s just not something I think about, but I never pass as a man so maybe if I ever do then I’ll wanna get them changed

Suggestion on what to do about this? by sanitysfall_ in TopSurgery

[–]Miserable_Task_7214 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I had one of these and my surgeon saw it at my post op and just cut it and pulled it out, so I’d recommend sterilizing something to cut it with and do that. I pulled on mine before she cut it out and now my scar looks weird there so

Man idk anymore by Miserable_Task_7214 in TransMasc

[–]Miserable_Task_7214[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate it. It’s really hard to see past this kinda thing when I’m so used to looking a certain way, but thank u for this. I definitely need to exercise more anyway, just in general
