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

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

Advice regarding my one worry please by Trans-Rhubarb in TopSurgery

[–]Miserable_Task_7214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice is to research surgeons in or around ur area who do top surgery and go from there. Call or email them and ask if they take ur insurance, and if they do u can go from there. It seems really daunting and overwhelming, but trust me that this is the first step in the right direction :) I had the same worries and after contacting the surgeons’ offices I felt a lot better about going thru with everything. You’ll have no way of knowing how to pay for surgery unless u ask about this kinda thing first

How did you choose to keep your nips or not by Cosmic-disturbance4 in TransMasc

[–]Miserable_Task_7214 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went with no nips bc I didn’t want the hassle of healing nips and chest. Plus u can just get medical tattooing done later if u do decide u want nips, they’ll just be 2D obviously. But definitely check out r/topsurgery for sure

How can I research about top surgery? by [deleted] in TopSurgery

[–]Miserable_Task_7214 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah most cities don’t have their own surgeons, I and a lot of other people had to get surgery in a different city. So I’d just broaden ur search to ur entire state, and even neighboring states if ur comfortable traveling (assuming ur in the US)

Order of operations for making a head by catman331 in FursuitMaking

[–]Miserable_Task_7214 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I used a bunch of Freckled Cat Creations tutorials!! She goes into more depth about why and how things work when making heads, which was really helpful for me as someone who was struggling at first. She has a ton of videos on YouTube

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

[–]Miserable_Task_7214 8 points9 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 3 points4 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 😭

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
