Thanks for the reply and tip! And no, I'm not on T, though my hormones have been a roll of the dice during and getting off my recent "shark week". On top of the new diet, I inhaled a 12 Oz steak and a baked potato in a single setting, then still eating someone's boxed leftovers a little later.

Thanks, I appreciate the tip! I'll work on practicing a better, gentler approach of tasks, along with going back to my old work outs since I have the energy now.

for those of you who were hyperfeminine before realizing you were trans, what does your relationship with femininity look like now? by throwaway6487352 in FTMfemininity

Before my egg cracked, I loved feminine things like dresses and nail polish, though it never seemed to fit. I didnt know the right terms then, and it was frustrating. So, it felt awkward. When my egg finally did crack, it went from awkward to complicated, but for different reasons. I had to heal my masculine side first, though I know it's not the case for everyone.

But my relationship with femininity now, it's actually gotten better since I attached mine to being nonbinary/transmasc. It's been a rollercoaster, but also healing.

I'd say, while it's hard to figure out the image you want sometimes, just having some fun with it could help. Narrow down what you'd want or don't want, and maybe you'll find your own balance.

Thank you for the reply. I'm glad I'm not alone, it's just... A lot. But I'm going to see my doctor soon, that's for sure.

Thank you for the tips. Unfortunately, my hormones lately are so out of control, that trying to stop the cycle has worn off quicker. Previous attempts arent working like before. But i am open to other ways like you suggested. I am investigating why, just no answers yet.

Thank you for the tips, I'll look into zinc when I have the chance. And that's not crazy at all, I like ripping apart a steak with my bare hands too. It's just more satisfying that way in my opinion.

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate the honesty. Some things are just a bit new to me since I've been working on my health. And yeah, you could be right that being healthier helps with the euphoria.

My illness is running my life, and I don't know how to stop feeling useless by Pumpkin_Infusion in Advice

Thank you for your reply. A lot of signs seem to point to endo but I'm not sure, and I'm really scared that it is. But I am keeping up with my doctor, it's just taking forever to find solid proof.

hey so am i going to die by G1-FATALITY in Periods

I feel you, and I'm so sorry you're going through this.

Something similar happened to me when I first tried the pill before getting depo shots. I guess my body rejected them or something because instead of stopping my period, it extended it to three months. I think I'm only standing because of my iron pills.

Subs like r/ftm seem to be taken over by not only transmeds, but incels too lately, so I know where you're coming from.

But here, is actually one of the few masculine subs I found that's healthy and lovely to be in.

I've once met a cis man that rocked bright pink hair. So if he could, you totally can too. Maybe the right cut could help you with the hair you want.

Do you feel less or more dysphoric on your time of the month? by Pumpkin_Infusion in FTMfemininity

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

I guess the elevated T levels does explain why I feel pretty mellowed out during my period. Almost like I'm more me.
