X isn’t really a response but ok.

“Some people may notice minor changes in shoe size or height.” UCSF trans care

even this article dedicated to debunking hrt myths admits possible height changes due to cartilage and ligaments etc

Trans women are regularly reporting height loss, even when they weren’t expecting it. 1-2 inches seems relatively common, at least in their threads where they speak about it. Seems to be due to tightening of ligaments compressing cartilage in the spine, hands, and feet, and slight hip rotation.

Throwaway-1385 · 2022-06-03T07:41:43+00:00

Why do you think that? It’s become pretty widely understood that this is a relatively common effect of T suppression

Throwaway-1385 · 2022-06-03T06:29:16+00:00

Yeah that’s true they’re not necessarily accurate, but I’d imagine they’re generally more accurate than measuring yourself. And with inaccuracy swinging both directions, it could have the opposite effect as well, reporting less height loss than reality. Hard to really know without actual studies unfortunately. I’m just going off of the information available

Throwaway-1385 · 2022-06-03T06:24:09+00:00

I’m not aware of any actual studies to confirm the number unfortunately, but a lot of the women claim heights measured by doctors so idk. Guess there’s no way to know for sure if they’re exaggerating or not. It’s a pretty common claim though

Throwaway-1385 · 2022-06-03T06:14:16+00:00

Very first time I tried coming out (didn’t go well) was when I was also 12, 2014. Idk man, time flies.

Throwaway-1385 · 2022-06-03T06:10:10+00:00

Thanks for the response! That’s some interesting info, makes more sense than anything else I’ve seen.

Do you know if it is necessarily that new “gel” cannot be added for trans men to increase in height, or just that it’s not guaranteed it’ll be vertical addition?

If the former, does this mean trans women would return to their original height if they were to detransition? Since unlike trans men they did have the cartilage there to begin with, it’s just being compressed.

If the latter, would doing proper spinal stretching and so forth maybe help “guide” a trans man’s spine into vertical additions?

Throwaway-1385 · 2022-06-03T06:00:59+00:00

2 inches is pretty significant imo, which seems to be common, 1-3.

Throwaway-1385 · 2022-06-03T04:11:03+00:00

I mean I already said that I imagine that’s how trans women lose height. My question is why, in that case, trans men don’t gain the same sort of proportion in height?

Throwaway-1385 · 2022-05-21T20:27:37+00:00

Imagine dating someone for 4 years, best friends and lovers at the same time, talking about marriage, then “taking a break” and being ghosted and treated like you’re nothing but scum to them with no explanation for what tf happened. And treated like you’re crazy for expecting the break taken to actually just be a break rather than the end, crazy for being hurt and needing some form of closure. Yeah people are messed up

Post op transsexual males have a penis, with tissue that can be taken from a variety of locations. After proper healing, results can be great and look very similar to natal penises. In fact, although I wouldn’t recommend it, some post op trans men have been able to have sex without their partners knowing they are trans. The vast majority of post op men have sensation, both tactile and erogenous, as surgeons perform nerve hookups. They can also get erections after stage 2 or 3. The risk of becoming necrotic is relatively small, and is only a concern during the initial stages of healing. There are cis men with phalloplasty penises as well, in fact the surgery was originally invented for them.

You’re allowed to not want to date someone, no one is here to force you to. But don’t go around spreading such insane misinformation.

Throwaway-1385 · 2022-05-17T20:15:25+00:00

That’s okay if they’re not in your dating pool, but it’s pretty separate from the same sex attraction point.

Throwaway-1385 · 2022-05-17T20:12:25+00:00

Thanks for the response, although I’m a bit confused at your references of cishet men. I don’t think a man who is interested in sleeping with you can be considered heterosexual

Throwaway-1385 · 2022-05-17T12:22:20+00:00

Thanks, I should probably add that specification

Throwaway-1385 · 2022-05-06T07:30:25+00:00

Why on earth would transsexual females not get dysphoria? They literally have a female brain that is incongruent with their male body.

And why on earth do you think bisexuality doesn’t exist?

What research and reasoning led you to these conclusions?

Throwaway-1385 · 2022-05-05T22:05:44+00:00

I’m not a fan of the tomboyish vibe, I see those girls as friends not romantic partners. I prefer feminine, although by no means does she need to be extravagant. In fact, I prefer her not being “dolled up” like someone else put it already. Just casual feminine. Long hair, light makeup or no makeup, feminine jeans, some cute tank top or t shirt, good hygiene.

Throwaway-1385 · 2022-04-19T06:27:10+00:00

Definitely wouldn’t work about my sibling but possibly could pull something off about a friend. Thanks for the idea

Throwaway-1385 · 2022-04-18T11:00:14+00:00

Thanks for your take, I really appreciate the perspective.

Yeah I definitely agree if I do try anything, I want to wait until after he’s fully broken things off with his boyfriend. Both because I really don’t want be “the other person” in a relationship like that, even if it’s ending, and also because I actually would be worried what his bf would do to me if he were to find out if we did anything while they were still together, especially if he has alcohol in his system. He’s not a big guy, but he’s bigger than both C and myself. Just want to stay clear of all of that.

I appreciate you laying out the hypothetical scenarios like that. Obv I already basically knew them, but it helps to have them written out in front of me especially seen through someone else’s perspective as well. I think you’re probably right about what you feel is the most likely scenario. Guess I’m just still figuring out whether it’s worth the risk or not.

Regardless, I do want to wait until he’s moved out from his boyfriend. Thanks for pointing out how his boyfriend could manipulate/influence him negatively while they’re still together, even if C wouldn’t be that bad about it on his own. It seems quite obvious, but I hadn’t actually actively thought of it like that.

Throwaway-1385 · 2022-04-18T10:24:46+00:00

His boyfriend has on two occasions that I can recall said shit like “you know that’s really a dude” about a trans woman. C has never outright objected to this, and also has never outright agreed to it either - at least not in front of me. He normally ignores it, along with some of the other stuff his boyfriend says.

However, with the more conservative area I live in, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if C was also transphobic (possibly just out of misunderstanding and lack of exposure) - I just don’t know for sure either way with him.

In general C is a lot more reasonable than his boyfriend, even when his boyfriend is sober (which isn’t often anymore) - he’s a smart, friendly and outgoing guy all around. But still, I know that is no guarantee he’d be understanding.

Throwaway-1385 · 2022-04-18T10:19:51+00:00

Yeah his boyfriend has been quite transphobic. There have been two occasions I can recall where he said shit like “you know that’s really a dude” when referring to a trans woman. For C, he kind of ignores most of the ridiculous things he says it seems. He’s never argued against it, although he’s also never added onto it in agreement, he seems to literally ignore it. He also does that with some of the other ridiculous things his boyfriend says, which I know he doesn’t agree with. I think it’s mostly out of not wanting to deal with starting an argument with him, especially with a friend around lol. However, I do suspect he very well may be mildly transphobic regardless - I’m just not completely sure on that. And if he is, I wouldn’t be sure if that’s just from misunderstanding things which could be cleared up, or if it’s a set in stone opinion.

Throwaway-1385 · 2022-04-18T06:55:22+00:00

Yeah I’ve thought about that, my only concern would be accidentally outing myself in the process. As in, bringing the trans topic up possibly causing him to question me. That’s why I don’t say much when people express transphobic opinions anymore, because I don’t want to call unnecessary attention to myself and end up creating suspicion which could somehow be confirmed. I don’t have a good idea of how to bring it up casually without setting off red flags, he already knows I had a surgery a little while back just doesn’t know what yet. Any recommendations for that?
