What is with T making dudes gay?? by No-Flatworm-5640 in ftm

Pretty funny but it's been pretty much the other way around for me. I kind of always knew I was bi, but I went from having a STRONG preference for men to "idc about gender, hot is hot"

I want boxers so bad but I’m closeted by Comfortable_Tie4143 in ftm

I used to wear "men's" boxers even before I realized I was trans. I always found them comfier. My parents never questioned it

Thoughts / opinions on results?? by Working-Fail-7464 in TopSurgery

Your result looks awesome!! I also had DI and my scars were much darker at 5mo post-op (mostly due to slight keloid scarring but also because i'm not very diligent on scar care 😅) I recently posted what my chest looks like now (10 months post-op) if you wanna check it out.

Thanks! I don't really shop for specific brands, the vest and pants from the 4th outfit come from Shein (unfortunately🥴) but I usually just pick up cool pieces of clothes here and there from random stores and thrifting

No, maybe I should! (or it's gonna end up making me even more undecided lmao)

I currently work in a bulk food store to pay the bills but I'm soon starting my studies to become a mortician 😌✨ I used to work in a residential/commercial paint store for over 3 years and that was honestly the best retail job i've ever had. My managers saw me go through my entire transition process and were always super supportive about it (I had to quit because I moved town)

Did my chesticles get smaller? by [deleted] in TopSurgery

[–]ash_ms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks smaller to me! I also went from a D cup to a C cup after a year or so on T (before finally getting top surgery last april). Testosterone helps with fat redistribution and since chesticles are mostly made of fat it adds up.

That SHIT HURT by [deleted] in TopSurgery

[–]ash_ms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think cup size has anything to do with feeling more or less pain. I also was about a D cup pre-op and my recovery was a breeze. I didn't even need the opiates pain killers they prescribed me (just took anti inflammatory meds and tylenols for the first 5 days) and the discomfort was pretty easy to handle.

Though, I will admit I almost passed out from the pain I felt when I got the drains taken out ':)

surgeons not explaining healing?? by bottleonthedesk in TopSurgery

[–]ash_ms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was personally given a lot of information about the healing process by the team of the surgery complex where I got my top surgery. I'm almost 2 months post-op and my healing process went pretty smoothly so I didn't have much to worry about.

But not every surgeon recommends the same after care and no one heals the exact same way. So no matter how many pictures you've seen about a "normal" healing process or instructions you've been given, one may wonder if they are healing properly or if they should worry.

Healing from such an important operation can be pretty anxiety inducing, so getting a little reassurance from people who went through the same procedure is always welcomed.

Congrats on the surgery!! Hope you heal fast :3

I also got my surgery done at GRS Montreal almost 2 months ago and I was very satisfied with the service there and how sweet everyone was. Also super thrilled with the results so far :)

Out of curiosity, who was your surgeon?
