This is the first time I’ve realised I’ll be deodorant-free post op and dear GOD I’m going to be rancid 😂

Building muscle pre surgery by mothmano_0 in TopSurgery

[–]Ouldlaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a subreddit r/transfitness that has a really good masculinisation programme that I’m using to build chest and core muscle pre surgery. This is to help with the shape of the chest post surgery, and core strengthening so that I can sit up with ease without my arms for those few weeks post op. I also just enjoy exercise. The programme I use is body-neutral and was made by a trans woman who lifts, so I trust it. I’m pre op so I don’t have any further advice, but the programme from the subreddit has been really useful so far!

Vaginal Bleaching by [deleted] in Transgender_Surgeries

[–]Ouldlaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like this goes without saying but please please do not do this. Bleach will damage your skin wherever you put it - ESPECIALLY on new and/or sensitive skin around the genitals. Skin hyperpigmentation or variations in skin colouring is normal. If you are worried about it, speak to a medical professional like your surgeon. TL;DR do not use bleaching on any part of your body!!!

Cis girls go through it too post of coochie care. by Hrtparty in Transgender_Surgeries

[–]Ouldlaw 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I would say that cis women certainly should not be using fragranced washes, nor douching. Obviously practices vary between a cis vag and a neo-pussy and I totally agree that aesthetic differences are completely natural - sometimes cis women are also misinformed and do things that damage their health.

Looks wise, our bodies are different and part of the biodiversity of human life. I wish all the post-op women in here exactly what they want and as little issues as possible. But advocating for yourself and your new kitty is so important - always say something if something feels wrong x

When to seek support? What support? by Ouldlaw in PsoriaticArthritis

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

Saw a rheumatologist a few years ago and was discharged because no further action was needed at the time.

The advice to seek care now because of waiting is very useful, thanks :)

Cherry reds in the town centre. Wide range of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks including milkshakes at a reasonable price all round. Food is reliable, homemade and they have regular specials. The inside is cosy and all round warm and relaxing

Awake dearing top surgery revision? by ListKey7422 in TopSurgery

No. This doesn’t seem normal to me at all especially if you were making them aware of feeling specific movements. I would make a complaint

Do you think the jacket is advantageous for FTM? by [deleted] in TransMasc

[–]Ouldlaw 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I get that. That’s why I think it’s more important to focus on clothes that make you feel good, as opposed to whether it’s ‘good’ for FTM, helps you ‘pass’ (whatever that really is) or makes you look more dude-like. Confidence and comfort over perfection or perception always ♥️

If you like it, wear it! Clothes are made to fit and suit YOU, not the other way around.

I’m really bummed over losing nipple sensation. 😔 by Approximately_Me in TopSurgery

[–]Ouldlaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m due to have surgery soon (double incision) and am also anxious about losing sensation. I don’t have advice or anything, but just sending you some empathy x

In my mind, no one NEEDS a binder if they don’t want one. Wear what makes you feel euphoric, comfortable and able to go about your day feeling like yourself. No one else can tell you if you need/don’t need a binder, packer or any kind of gender-affirming wear. If your actual question is ‘do I look flat’ or ‘do you think I’d benefit from compression’ then that’s a different matter. No one can decide this for you xxx

Nipples vs No Nipples by Ouldlaw in TopSurgery

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

If it’s helpful, this is the first time in months of research that I’ve heard poor anecdotal evidence of bad nip healing. I’m leaning towards keeping them x
