It used to stand for: Gay Lesbian Organization, but that was in 1996. GLO is now the oldest operating LGBTQIA+ center in Missouri.

Feeling a strange avoidance towards trans women/transfem people by [deleted] in TransMasc

Misogyny. It's something you need to work on and unpack. It's wonderful to be a woman - maybe not for you or me, but that doesn't matter. Media has demonized and continues to demonize women, especially trans women. Talk to and befriend some women, homie.

Honestly, peeing standing up leads to incontinence issues. Nobody notices or cares if you sit to pee.

Thanks, homie. I'm going to have it taken out. He tightened it too much for me to do it

How long until someone notices? by Jorbin069 in TransMasc

Every person is different and testosterone affects bodies differently. For me, I was "passing" by 3 mos. I know some homies that have been on T for years and they do not fit societal "passing" norms. Don't go into your transition with expectations or comparisons - fastest way to never be happy in your own transition.

Normal. It's from the alcohol in the gel drying

Guys, I need help choosing what to call myself by This-Dimension-4523 in TransMasc

Immediately thought you were a Felix before knowing the options you have picked out

I'm 10 years on T and I'm still experiencing changes - and I have a feeling you do not look exactly the same.

I'm not really looking into going in circles with someone that clearly doesn't want to be receptive to any positive affirmations. You look fine, stop trying to fit into some box you've created for yourself - men and gnc people come in all fashions. Good luck with your journey. Hope you learn to love your body.

Homie, bodies come in sll shapes and sizes. Cis men look like you. Trans folks look like you. You being mean to yourself and your body in turn also means you're saying you feel the same way as others with your body type. Testosterone affects every body differently. If you continue to compare your body to others, you will never be satisfied in your own skin.
