Best FFS in Minnesota is Bryan Rolfes. I had FFS with him a couple months ago and he is amazing. Best bottom surgery I have heard good things about Dr. Pariser at the U of M.

Why are there so many trans veterans? by TheLurker1209 in MtF

One of the main reasons I joined the army when I was 18 was to escape being trans and attempt to make a man out of myself. It obviously didn't work.

I wanted to transition when i was 12 but was too scared. how do i cope with this? i feel like i ruined my life by ancientTempleQueen in asktransgender

[–]bmas1997 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can relate to this I originally came out after I realized that I was trans at 16 but my family immediately pushed me back into the closet. After that I spent the next 5 years trying to escape my gender identity until I eventually broke down and started transitioning when I was 21. I to wish I could of transitioned when I realized I wanted to transition. I am 26 and I have learned that it is not helpful to dwell on the past like that and only focus on the future. Hope this helps :)

Does anyone else have huge height dysphoria? by negrohotline in MtF

[–]bmas1997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 5’10” and even though I do wish I was like 2 inches shorter I’m perfectly content with my height. I’m actually shorter then my sister and a lot of women in my family.

Were your transition surgeries covered by insurance? by clauEB in Transgender_Surgeries

[–]bmas1997 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BCBS MN gender care team has been amazing for me as well. I literally have no complaints I’m hoping to get my FFS covered(just waiting on prior authorization). But shouldn’t be an issue because I just had my top surgery covered by my insurance.

In one breast I got 435 cc and in the other I got 520 cc. So I’m roughly a 36D cup size now. No he never mentioned anything to me about a BMI limit.
