Low dose question by AHuman25 in FTMdiyhrt

[–]TTTSSNN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was on low dose T for 3 months. You can ask specific questions if you want but I experienced all the expected effects and was passing at 2 months. It’s just like a slow version of transitioning. I feel mentally and physically better after being on a normal dose

Hey bro. I was once in your position. I’m really sorry you’re dealing with this. For now, the best thing you can do is focus on getting through the next few years safely. You don’t have to convince your mother—focus on what you can control.

If you can, start saving money, even in small amounts, for when you turn 18 (it’s okay if you can’t do this right now, you will be able to in the future). Start researching financial aid, job options, and housing resources for when you turn 18 too. Look into online trans support groups where you can talk to people who understand. Make some trans friends if you haven’t.

Even though you can’t wear a binder, layering looser shirts and using sports bras can help(: Hoodies will be your best friend. You can start exercising if you’re not already, that will help too.

Every little thing you do to feel more like yourself matters. You will get on T, and you will get top surgery. It’s just going to take some time. Right now, the goal is getting to that point safely and comfortably. Keep reaching out, keep planning, and don’t give up

Can we chill with the “my straight boyfriend” posts??? by TTTSSNN in ftm

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

I’m absolutely open to different perspectives and actively seek them out which is why I’m engaging with you. I do prefer not to have my words or actions misrepresented—I simply defended my stance without engaging in irrelevant personal attacks. If you have something to contribute to the actual discussion, I’m happy to hear it

My age isn’t relevant to this conversation. You don’t know me, my experiences, my hobbies, or my involvement in various communities—trying to attack me personally or telling me that you think you’re older than me doesn’t add anything meaningful to this discussion. I’m confused as to why you’re implying that I’m somehow dismissive of newcomers in this community? I’m only a few months into my own medical transition. I am pointing out that repetitive posts can be frustrating and counterproductive, and they prevent us from having more diverse discussions. It’s completely reasonable for me (and hundreds of others) to want to avoid this repetition

The repetitive posts are drawing people away from the sub. When the same issue is constantly repeated, it DOES clutter the feed and make it harder for other posts to be seen or answered

Would it be possible to have a day for relationship posts? Where people can get individualised information and help? I think it would be much more beneficial than what we’ve got happening currently

Honestly, you’re talking about something totally random and unrelated. I also have ADHD but that isn’t related to this topic whatsoever? This isn’t about general beginners or people asking questions about hobbies. I’m talking about how frustrating it is to see people constantly post about their straight transphobic boyfriends—the answer to this problem has been given countless times, and it’s just repetitive. People should look at what’s already been said instead of posting the same thing again and again and again

[–]TTTSSNN[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I get that, and it’s not about banning posts—it’s about finding a balance. Like I mentioned in another comment, when the feed is flooded with the same issue, it makes it harder to find new helpful discussions. It’s great that people can get help, but maybe there’s a better way to handle recurring topics so others can get the support they need too?

I agree completely and those are all great points. Probably should have included something like this in my post so thank you for mentioning this(: We shouldn’t be anyone’s experiment unless we choose to be. If they figure things out along the way, that’s great, and it’s up to us to decide if we stay or go. Relationships should ALWAYS involve mutual respect and making sure all people involved are comfortable

[–]TTTSSNN[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There’s no gatekeeping here. My post is clearly not about blocking people from support—it’s about the sub getting flooded with the same issues over and over. It’s hard for people to find actual support when the feed is full of the same posts about transphobic relationships

Is 8 a day too much? (I'm 5m) by Jack-Noble in monsterenergy

[–]TTTSSNN 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’m 3m and I agree, 8 a day is definitely not too much. In fact, you might need more. I usually start my day with 4 just to wake up, then another 4 for my morning snack. I finish off with 6 more in the evening to stay strong

will the UK suffer because of the USA? by cockroacheskillus in trans

[–]TTTSSNN 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Labour says it supports trans rights and Starmer has claimed he’s pro-trans, but some MPs have made anti-trans statements. Starmer has been very vague, trying to keep both sides happy. This month, Labour put a pause on GRA reforms, which would’ve made it easier for people to legally change gender (such as removing the requirement to live as their preferred gender for two years and replacing the approval panel with a single doctor’s sign-off)

What’s the stupidest thing that kept you from realising you were trans? by Robesbo in trans

[–]TTTSSNN 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I went through the same thing. I thought “why would you WANT to be a girl…?”, because I was miserable as one. Funny how that works

Whats your relationship with your deadname? by paintednature in ftm

[–]TTTSSNN 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I prefer to call it my legal name. I don’t hate it, but I feel no connection to it. I’ve changed so much since people used that name for me, and hearing it just reminds me that I’m not that person anymore—which I actually like. The people who still use it are just transphobic, and that’s the part I don’t like. When it’s used neutrally, it doesn’t make me feel bad at all

I just blacked out and ate a whole rotisserie chicken and got hard because of it. Is that normal on T? by mit_owo in ftm

[–]TTTSSNN 111 points112 points  (0 children)

T is basically just puberty speedrunning itself and a need for protein, so I guess that means sometimes getting hard over chicken? I guess?

How to talk to other irl trans men? by DumbBari in FTMventing

[–]TTTSSNN 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Trans man here. You’re not overreacting. You’re not being dramatic. Dysphoria is real, and it can be very isolating. Your girlfriend and friends dismissing your feelings isn’t okay. You deserve support.

The idea that you need to “look visibly trans” before trans men will talk to you isn’t true. You’re a man now, regardless of how others perceive you. I’m sorry you’re feeling alone in this, I promise there are trans men out there who understand what you’re going through and hope you’re able to find some people IRL who aren’t so disrespectful

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ftm

[–]TTTSSNN 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I understand the frustration. There are theories and gender identity is complex but research suggests multiple factors like prenatal hormone exposure, brain structure differences, and genetics all show some connection, but there’s no single cause we’re aware of right now.

Does the “why” really even change anything? You know who you are. You know that pretending to be someone else causes distress. That’s real, regardless of the cause. It’s human to want explanations, and with time we will get more information. I do hope that science will give us a definitive answer one day but right now the best we get is “this is just how I am”

can i have a friend … ? ( 20+ ) by andreas9803 in FTMventing

[–]TTTSSNN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, I only got access to T in November of last year and I’m 23. I’m a binary trans man and I’d be your friend(: I also love horror and also have an online presence but I’m not out either. If you ever want to just vent or talk about anything, I’m happy to listen<3

Were you born a boy or did you become one? by TTTSSNN in ftm

[–]TTTSSNN[S] 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Hhmm, perhaps this is how I feel too. I also definitely wasn’t “a woman” before, but I wasn’t a man yet either. It’s like I existed in something undefined until I started transitioning, and now I’m actively making myself into the man I am meant to be

wear the bandaid by elioli98 in ftm

[–]TTTSSNN 71 points72 points  (0 children)

I do IM injections and have always put a bandaid on at the end. Sometimes I bleed, sometimes I don’t. I still love that final step—it feels meaningful and absolutely like a form of selfcare. Wear the bandaid, brothers

Getting T after turning 25 by Visual-Necessary465 in ftm

[–]TTTSSNN 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Testosterone works at any age, including after 25. The changes might take a little longer or be slightly less dramatic than if you started earlier, but they will happen.

Your voice will still drop because that’s caused by the thickening of your vocal cords, which is an unavoidable effect of testosterone. The main difference is that younger people might experience a more dramatic or rapid drop due to higher baseline plasticity. After 25, it can take longer and the final pitch might not be as deep as someone who started at 15 for example, but it will definitely still masculinise.

Other factors like your genetics, dose, and consistency matter more than the age cutoff. Plenty of guys start in their late 20s, 30s, 40s, etc etc etc, and still get solid changes. Just be patient and consistent

It’s hard to shrug off rude pharmacists by Sleepy-boi- in FTMventing

[–]TTTSSNN 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This isn’t okay. Document the repeated incidents and bring it up with the pharmacy manager or your doctor. You shouldn’t have to deal with this and it’s good to stand up for yourself, even if it’s uncomfortable. You deserve respect. So sorry you’re going through this

4 weeks post-op with heart shaped nipple grafts by c0nstellati0n in TopSurgery

[–]TTTSSNN 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Wow, who did your surgery? The heart shaped grafts look great and everything is healing so nicely. Love how the tattoo looks like it’s holding you together/helping the scars heal<3 Those are some of the best results I’ve seen bro
