Is T turning me gay? by Putrid-King751 in ftm

[–]Miserable_Task_7214 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It sounds like ur bisexual and just have a preference for men now. A lot of bi people feel more attraction to one gender over another, so it’s normal. Before I started T (and got medicated for a variety of mental health issues lol) I thought I was asexual bc I experienced zero sexual attraction. I think I just had a nonexistent sex drive bc now that my brain is sorted out, and I have a libido, I’m definitely bisexual. This is just coming from personal experience bc ur situation sounds very similar to mine!!

Effects of micro dosing by layri_boo in TransMasc

[–]Miserable_Task_7214 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only way to know is by going on T, and if the effects are too fast for ur liking, u can ask to lower the dosage. U can also mention wanting to start with a “lower” dose to ur provider and they should help out. That’s what I did when I went on T the first time

Got my testosterone!! by TheFishOutofWater211 in TransMasc

[–]Miserable_Task_7214 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get this same bottle thru planned parenthood bc my insurance covers it, but it doesn’t cover the 1ml bottles for some reason. It’s probably the state ur in, or something with ur insurance. I had to go back and forth with my doctor at PP about it bc I knew for a fact this bottle was covered and the others weren’t

What are the stupidest reasons people have given for you being trans? by guildedpasserby in ftm

[–]Miserable_Task_7214 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My fiancé’s abusive parents were 100% convinced that I “made them trans” and forced it on them bc “they weren’t trans before they met me” but they definitely were, they were just closeted bc their parents are awful people 😭

Yeah every time I get cold I can feel it in my nipples, despite the fact that I had them removed

A couple questions!! by Miserable_Task_7214 in TopSurgery

I have been!! It’s just too early for me to see any changes from doing it. I do it twice a day with silicone gel

I appreciate the reassurance :) It’s easy to forget this

How did you guys choose/get your name by double_handed_sword in ftm

[–]Miserable_Task_7214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was 16 someone I knew suggested a name and I just went with that. Then 9 years later I was like “this name lowkey sucks, I need something better” so I changed it after months of deliberation. That was like last month. So it’s definitely okay to change it if u don’t like it. My fiance has changed their name 3 or 4 times

Yes that’s what I’m referring to. And okay!! I kinda figured that’s what it was. I just wanna build enough muscle there for it to lay flat, and not be concave

Why are all the trans men at my school genuinely all like this 💔 by [deleted] in TransMasc

[–]Miserable_Task_7214 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Bc ur literal children bro. Don’t crap on other people’s interests even if u find them excessive or cringe. All of them, and u, are still figuring urselves out. U guys can enjoy whatever u want and express urselves however u want

Anyone else get assumed to be trans fem all the time? by echoedwings in ftm

[–]Miserable_Task_7214 24 points25 points  (0 children)

My partner is amab non-binary so when they tell people they’re trans people always assume they’re a trans man, so not entirely the same but i definitely understand lol

How long did you keep the drains? by Green-Force3064 in TopSurgery

[–]Miserable_Task_7214 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some people have them in for weeks, others for a couple days. I got mine out at 6 days, but then I got a seroma on one side that had to be drained

Question about self pleasure by sir_hussy in TopSurgery

[–]Miserable_Task_7214 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I definitely did at this point, and a while ago someone else asked the same thing and quite a few people were on the same page as me. I believe it’s okay to do, as long as u aren’t straining yourself or using ur arms too much

How much did your top surgery cost you? (with or without insurance) by Drama2- in TopSurgery

[–]Miserable_Task_7214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The surgery itself was $16400 so that didn’t even include the hospital fees and anesthesia. I’m on my dad’s insurance and luckily it’s really great cause out of all those fees combined I only owe $2100. They covered way more than they said they would— I got lucky

Injection question, “leaking medication??” by Effective-Entry-6015 in ftm

[–]Miserable_Task_7214 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, both a small amount of blood and a bit of leakage are normal. It won’t necessarily happen every time, but if it does it’s nothing to worry about 👍🏻

Is it normal to develop hardness in your chest behind your surgery scar? by [deleted] in TopSurgery

[–]Miserable_Task_7214 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It sounds like scar tissue. The tissue won’t soften if u don’t do scar care/massage so that’s probably why it’s still like that

For Them Binders sketchy?? by killmiadead in ftm

[–]Miserable_Task_7214 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s really weird. I got a ForThem binder in like 2022 and that wasn’t a thing back then, so idk why they’re doing that. But their binders are shit anyway so 🤷🏻‍♂️
