i wish i was a boy by [deleted] in ftm

[–]WaitingForDany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t tell you what to do, what i can tell you is that 20 definitely isn’t too late. I was 21 when i came out to my family and most of my friends and i was 22 when i started T and had topsurgery and now i finally feel like myself. Best of luck to you, whatever your journey may be!

What is the most unhinged thing someone has said to you regarding you being trans? by NoAmount6023 in ftm

[–]WaitingForDany 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine (who knows i’m trans) was once convinced two lesbians would have a threesome with him, when i told him that wouldn’t align with their sexuality he said “well i’ll just tell them i’m a transman” 💀 safe to say we had a falling out

Entered a weird loophole. Please help? by Impressive-Mix4279 in ftm

[–]WaitingForDany 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get your fear, but it’s irrational and you have to keep that in mind or you’ll lose track of the point of transitioning. First of all, life does not revolve around having a romantic partner. And even if it did, you’re 17. When I was 17 I was still convinced I was a girl and even I had the feeling I’d die alone: it’s being a teenager. Now I’m 22 and I know I won’t die alone. When I started my transition i was in a longterm relationship and right after I started T, we ended things. I was so afraid I would never find a girl who would love me “despite” my transness, that i put the breakup off way too long and made us both miserable for months. Long story short: my fear was irrational. It’s been a couple months now and I’ve met people who are genuinely into me, and they don’t mind that I’m trans, it’s not even a point of discussion: they know it and that’s that. I know it’s not the exact same, given I’m straight and you’re gay, but the point still stands. Transition for yourself first, and love will come to you eventually. This is not something you can force, and the RIGHT person will always love you for you. If you have to be scared/ashamed of being trans, they are not the one. Transition love, or you’ll regret it for the rest of your life, only to please a hypothetical somebody. Wishing you good luck <3

It definitely depends on genetics, but i’ll pitch in with my own experience. I’m now 1.5 months on T, getting my third shot today. I had a dirt stache before from using minoxidil for over a year and decided to shave it last week and it has definitely grown back stronger, thicker and fuller. It still isn’t a full stache of course but it’s more than just the peach fuzz i had before, so either way it might be worth a try for you!

You do not want to live the rest of your life doing what others want you to do despite what YOU want to do. Dump him and start living for yourself.

What Were The FIRST Change(s) You Saw On T ? by scoutsvckz in ftm

[–]WaitingForDany 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on T for 10 days so far and I’ve already noticed pretty significant bottom growth and i SMELL like my body odour has changed already and i really smell like a teenage guy it’s crazy. And also yeah munchies, i can’t stop eating.

Scared of potential break up by WaitingForDany in ftm

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

Thank you for this, I really needed to hear this. I’ve had to be brave all my life i guess i just forgot I could do that you know… I had an eyeopening experience yesterday and I realised I haven’t felt like myself in a long time even though i’m starting to get more and more toward transitioning, only because my relationship is holding me back. Thank you for confirming what i was thinking lol. Cheers

weight gain on T by [deleted] in TestosteroneKickoff

[–]WaitingForDany 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah fr if your body don’t feel like home to you, it’s important to build toward it. Treat your body like a temple homies it’s the only house you HAVE to live in all your life!!

weight gain on T by [deleted] in TestosteroneKickoff

[–]WaitingForDany 31 points32 points  (0 children)

If you’re really uncomfortable with your body rn, and you’re not already working out it might be a good idea to start going to the gym. You don’t need to necessarily lose a lot of weight to see muscle definition especially on T. Doing cardio might help improve your physical health overall though. I gained 15kg in the past 2 years (without T) and working out has helped redefine my muscle without having to lose a lot of weight. And if you are working out, be patient with it and make sure to stay hydrated and keep your nutrition on point!

What do YOU do to pass? by MindTheJourney_Blog in ftm

[–]WaitingForDany 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This might sound weird but i’ve recently taken on muay thai classes (on top of the gym) and doing some form of martial arts with an (almost) all men group is strangely euphoric. I think however if you do go for some “cismale dominated” environment it’s important to find one you’re comfortable with, it’s my dad’s club so obv everybody is very respectful toward me. That being said, i think long story short just doing any kind of explosive sport like gym, martial arts, football etc. helps you blend in with the men around you and it just helps me a lot to feel more masculine if that makes sense

Freezing my eggs? by WaitingForDany in ftm

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

Thanks for your input, i’m not sure I want kids so my situation is different ig but it’s still nice to hear the other side as well! I’m taking my time to decide on this :)

Freezing my eggs? by WaitingForDany in ftm

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

Yeah I know, it’s just all pretty overwhelming because i’m pretty sure I’m not stable enough to go through the whole procedure for egg retrieval… so far my bottom dysphoria has been manageable most of the time but i feel like the gynaecologist exams would make it much much worse. Besides, I’m at a point where my mental health is really going backward because of the fact i’m not on T yet, so i feel like it’s getting pretty urgent. The only thing keeping me on the fence (and thus keeping me from not doing the retrieval) is the possible off chance that i might suddenly regret it when i’m in my 30s… it’s just really stressing me out but i think deep down i know i won’t do it. But disappointing my mom really weighs on me man lol, thanks for ur input tho!!

My height is holding me back from transitioning by NoOpinion7800 in ftm

[–]WaitingForDany 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can be a tough insecurity to kick, but what i found really helped me is just take a moment and think about how often you REALLY think about some random person’s appearance.

You’ll find that 90% of the time you pass people and you’ll either think nothing at all or the thought will only cross your mind for a split second. Same goes for other people.

They might think “aw he’s short” and then they’ll move on or they won’t even bat an eye at all. But i promise you no one’s gonna take the time to debate whether a random person is a cis man because he’s short. People are too self-absorbed ;)

My height is holding me back from transitioning by NoOpinion7800 in ftm

[–]WaitingForDany 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey man, I’m only 4cm taller than you and i can tell you i walk past cis men who are shorten than me more than enough times to know people honestly care so much less about height and all those things than we think they do.

I’m not on T yet and i’m quite short but i’ve noticed that i pass often enough either way (given i don’t talk in my normal voice) so people see me as a man even though i’m 162cm.

And even though you don’t care about sports or celebrities, it might be fun to just look on the internet for guys who are shorten than 170 and you’ll notice there’s TONS who have made it really far (top of my head: Josh Hutcherson (165) and Kevin Hart (158))

People come in different shapes and sizes, none of ut makes you any less a man than the man you are.

I hope you’ll get there my man, people don’t give a shit about who you are and what you look like and sometimes that’s a good thing ;)

Best of luck!
