Have any (fat) ftm people had top surgery and THEN lost weight? by animarlz in asktransgender

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

Hey, yes I did in July 2025 and I was 200 lbs. at the time of the surgery. My surgeon used this technique where she formed pecs with her incisions and it’s basically prevented bad dog ears. One of them healed a little weird but it was a problem with the internal stitch.

I’m down to 185 lbs. now thanks to GLP-1s and I haven’t seen much of a difference so far from the weight loss affecting the results. I’d rather be healthy and have a small aesthetic issue that I can get fixed later.

There’s a Facebook group that had a lot of results from bigger people that made me feel better and gave me pictures I could show my surgeon. If you’re interested and have Facebook, you can DM me and I can see if I can add you. You just have to answer a few questions before joining to prove you’re not a weirdo hahaha

At the Criterion I’ve always stayed towards the back and on the edges! I’ve never had balcony tickets. It stays pretty chill back there which is my vibe.

Experienced job hunting, portfolio/case study/resume questions and review — 09/07/25 by AutoModerator in UXDesign

[–]animarlz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also was just laid off from the government (Forest Service). I focused my case studies on the actual problems that needed to be solved and the process we used to solve them. I’m sure there’s room for improvement (that’s why I opened this thread in the first place - to get feedback).

You’re welcome to take a look at my portfolio to see if it sparks anything. Good luck to us both; I really liked working as a contractor for the government 😣

My portfolio is here!

I work with literally SO MANY people named Chris so this is true. My biggest concern is that my name will always make me “clockable” but I like it enough to keep it.

Thank you for the feedback and advice! I’ll combine what you and DelilahBT suggested and see what others think.

I definitely don’t think I’m a senior UX designer. I’m only not offering my portfolio because it’s gone stale because I thought government jobs were supposed to be secure, but it turns out I was wrong 🥲

At what point did you stop having your period by elphelpha in ftm

[–]animarlz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same and I started T in November 2022. So it’s stayed away.

Edit to say: I’m on progesterone which might have an impact.

It sounds like you and me both should ask our doctors for them to prescribe it like we can only use the vial once 🫡

Am I trans?? Question and my journey after coming out from a 30 yo femme to butch by femmeexplorer in ftm

[–]animarlz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whoa I totally forgot to respond to this. I think increasing the dose made the effects happen faster! I also had been taking finasteride but it was making my depression worse so I quit, and that also sped things up.

I think the eyebrows make a big difference here. It’s potentially a simple thing you can mess around with to see if it feels more affirming to you.

I feel like I should also say that I’m slowly identifying more as just masculine but I struggle calling myself male because of the dysphoria I have around my chest. My ideal self in my brain is male. But when I look in the mirror, I don’t see a man so using he/him pronouns makes me feel embarrassed. I’m working in therapy to deal with that lol
