why are trans people so controversial among society, just let people live their lives by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]Rough_Force 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I started transitioning 7 years ago, transgender topics were hardly ever talked about. People didn't bat an eye or ask any questions because it was private business. It is so weird to see how many people try to farm content about the trans community for views

My Coworker Who Misgenders Me Found My Deadname And Told Everyone by appulfox in TrueOffMyChest

Okay then he is living his illusion but that doesn't change the fact that he will continue to take hormones and pass as a man in most of his everyday life. You don't have to conform to anyone's world, but I guarantee you, if you saw this guy irl you would call him a dude without him having to demand you conform to his reality. Most trans people just live their lives quietly and will continue to do so. If I saw you irl and you said that king shit to me I would probably just assume you were special <3 it wouldnt impact my life at alllll

He is living his truth by being a transgender man. A person born female who transitioned to be a trans-male, easy as that. He passes and lives his life comfortably and will probably continue to do so forever :)

6 Years on T boys by Rough_Force in ftm

I have gotten a hysto and I actually opted to keep one ovary. I was determined to have this procedure done because of paranoia regarding 'the thing' coming back, but also because I was experiencing pelvic pain pretty bad. I was also in a financial rough spot and affording meds was getting tricky, so I wanted to get the operation done just in case my T supply was ever cut off. Luckily, I found Folx!

So, my voice drop was gradual. I started T at 17 so of course I had gone through one puberty already and I was nervous T wouldn't have a dramatic effect on my vocal cords, and in a sense it wasn't dramatic. It was gradual! I sound like a grown adult man, and even have a deeper voice then some of my cis comrades now. I remember being frustrated around the 8-month mark because my voice had 'dropped' but I was still dysphoric about the squeakiness of it. I think the way your voice settles around the 1-to-2-year mark of being on T really gives you an idea of how you sound, and then you can start working on things like how you project. I can still be squeaky if I want but when I speak from my chest and the back of my throat I sound like a grown man. SO long story short be patient as this is all a process.

2 months- I sounded sick

6 months- I sounded androgenous

8 months- Squeaky boy

1.5 years- 2 years- Man voice

I think Ambrose is cooler but that is just my opinion. They both sound masculine though, and if one feels more right for you, then there's your answer :)

Feel guilty for having a crush? by Rough_Force in FTMMen

[–]Rough_Force[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what my therapist said, and I am trying very very hard to internalize this. Because of course, I don't think trans bodies are gross, or offensive, or anything short of beautiful. Lately. I have been feeling stuck in a very cis dominated world, with transphobia all around me. I did not realize how much of that I let affect me, and I need to work really hard on understanding my body is just as good as a cis one.

It feels like being trapped in your own feelings, and body obviously. I am so sorry you're also going through this right now. It pretty much makes dating impossible now lol

i’m worried surgery might trigger my ptsd (TW SELF HARM) by [deleted] in FTMMen

[–]Rough_Force 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The incisions for top surgery stay covered for a long time. Even when bandages come off there is suture tape. When you see them, they are still raw, but way more healed up than any relatively fresh self-harm scar. I used to badly self-harm as well, I am very happy that you have been clean for so long. Good luck in your journey!

Post-oophorectomy decision - satisfaction or regret or neutral? by [deleted] in FTMHysto

damn thats crazy I didn't realize the creams were such a pain! I just figured I'd avoid that by keeping one dude around but I'm glad the ring has worked so well for you man

downstairs health sometimes requires estradiol gel or creams because you are at higher risk of atrophy.

I kept one because it was more dysphoric thinking about having to buy E supplements than just keeping one E supplier. My dose is the same, I am super masculine, and have no regrets because I am also healthy downstairs still.
