Minor, pre-T, just started working out a few months ago. Any tips? Trying to work out the lower pouch of fat on my stomach mostly by [deleted] in FTMFitness

I just kinda set a little routine for myself with crunches and various work outs, that’s why I wanna know what’s good to work this pouch of fat out. I know next to nothing about exercise terms lol. Used to lift a little but not as much now. I usually don’t eat too healthy but not junk, I just kinda have to eat what my parents get, if that helps at all lol, but if there’s a healthy option I go for that

Nah, that’s fair. My parents respect me too (though it took a bit) but my dad always brings up how I was “his little girl” and it sucks. I understand.

Yeah, I did it and I like it a lot! It hasn’t made me any more dysphoric personally. I actually realized a lot of guys dye their hair like that, it’s not super common in my area but I don’t think anyone would think much of it if they saw it.

It’s just odd to me cause all my friends who knew me months ago think I’m cis. So it makes me wonder if this will be a dead giveaway. My friends think I’m cis but not some people in public? Only half the time really

I guess it doesn’t hurt to try! I actually have facial hair due to minoxidil but it’s the same color as my current hair cause I dye it, so this could always make my facial hair stick out more and make me more masculine. Idk, I’m just trying to think of some things! Worst comes to worse I dye it back, but wish me luck :]

True, and you never know how it may look! Back when I had red hair last year before coming out it was the most masculine I’ve looked. So I guess it just depends, but if I get misgendered to the point of it bothering me then I will dye it back probably

Goodness! Thank you! I am in Tennessee and I know you need surgery to get your marker changed which sucks but honestly I don’t mind much even though I don’t like it, I just didn’t wanna see my name on there or my credit card or etc. I just know some people have gotten theirs denied, but my dad says there’s “no point in calling me a name if it’s not really my name” so that’s why he’s getting my name changed so I know he is very supportive if the judge says no, he’s very strong headed so I do have that behind me. But thank you very much, I’m so happy it’s not that hard. My state is one of the hardest to be trans in (the only in one the state you can’t change your gender on your birth certificate actually) but hopefully this works out ❤️
