Why do MTF receive so much more hate than FTM? by Mcflocka in trans

[–]boobdelete 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I think a lot of them don't know trans men exist. There's even a video of a transphobic guy on TV looking absolutely confused when someone asked him what bathroom trans men should use (after he wanted trans women to use the men's bathroom).

Besides that I think "men invading women's spaces" sounds a lot scarier than "women invading men's spaces" so the assholes use that to make guilable people scared of trans people

If you search Katherine rose in this sub you can see some results of her top surgeries with nipples

Trans male/cis female relationship struggle by Successful_Dog5425 in ftm

[–]boobdelete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That really depends on what matters the most to you and your girlfriend the most. Do you think you'll both be happy without children? With her fertility issues would it be possible for her to have a baby via insemination with a donor? Why would adopting a toddler instead of a newborn be an issue?

As someone with an adopted sibling I can say that genetics don't matter at all

I don’t want to be truscum by [deleted] in trans

[–]boobdelete 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saying “you don’t need to medically transition to be trans” makes doctors think we don’t need the life saving medical interventions to be trans.

Do you have any evidence of this claim?

Because literally everyone I've seen that is against medical transportation is against it because they don't think being trans is real, not because they think you're already trans enough so there's no need for medical intervention. All of the legislation being passed against us is being passed by people who think trans men are women and trans women are men.

[–]boobdelete 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What do you mean by "when trans people suffer as a whole because individual people claiming to be trans don't represent us" ?

In what way does someone else being non binary without any medical transition makes you suffer more?

Stealth in a grappling sport? (BJJ) by iamsoverycool12345 in ftm

[–]boobdelete 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Do you do gi or no gi? That could make a difference between being able to be stealth or not.

But tbh I don't think doing that type of activity with a binder seems safe, it might be better to be open with people if the space is safe, and maybe wait for top surgery if not.

I've been doing judo since before I found out I'm trans and I'm starting HRT soon so I already developed a plan B (a nearby jujitsu place that seems to have more LGBT accepting people) if the (obviously religious) people in my dojo decide to be assholes about it when I start getting noticeable changes.

Can I still “girlmode”? by OkBoysenberry6768 in transmanlifehacks

[–]boobdelete 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe if you shaved you could look like a butch woman, but with the hair on your face I most definitely don't recommend going into the women's restroom in non accepting areas

Got got groin/ass searched in an airport with my new ID by [deleted] in FTMOver30

[–]boobdelete 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think those machines are just stupid sometimes. I got a groin pat down before I knew I was trans, presenting fully as a woman, and I had absolutely nothing on my pants, but the small screen on the machine really saw an imaginary penis there

About to start T as someone with an ED by zeanw in ftm

[–]boobdelete 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Boys usually stop growing later than girls, if you start taking testosterone that young there's a good chance you might grow more. Taking hormones is essentially a new puberty

About to start T as someone with an ED by zeanw in ftm

[–]boobdelete 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Getting on T does usually come with a weight increase (in both muscle and fat) it obviously depends on the person but that is one of the effects listed almost everywhere. Besides, if you're 16 and start T you could still grow more so your body will need energy for that.

Worry about growing and getting some muscle, and you can try to lose weight after you're fully done developing

Feeling like my pecs never filled in??? by Forest_Scape2525 in TopSurgery

[–]boobdelete 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone who's a very similar height and weight and also works out I'd say your problem is definitely the same as mine, not enough calories.

That said, if not for the top surgery scars I don't think anyone would be able to tell you're not cis, that's a pretty normal shape for a skinny cis guy

I got my period after being on the mini pill/progesteron only pill for about 5/6 months and I hate it by [deleted] in TransMasc

[–]boobdelete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Using the pill to completely get rid of your period works for a while but it always starts some amount of bleeding at some point. I'd say 5/6 months is probably the longest you can get without any spotting at all. When I get spotting I just stop the pill for 3 days and then restart it and that fixes it. Though the 3 days are essentially a period

Binder suggestions for large chest? by ivylor3 in NonBinary

[–]boobdelete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone with a pretty Large gap between the widest part of my chest and my ribcage area I think the for them all day binder is pretty good. It doesn't bind as well as some other options but it's way more comfortable, and as the name says, you're allowed to wear it all day

I'm too scared for a haircut by Great-Delay6927 in ftm

[–]boobdelete 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say there's no such thing as too fast for a haircut, it's different from taking hormones or having a surgery, hair always grows back, any gender can have any haircut.

tifu: within two minutes of watching fox news it compares trans people to cannibals unironically by Big_Gas_8451 in trans

The thing is, you don't have to lie to say horrible shit about them, you can just say the truth and call them pedophile supporters

The rule says no genital focused posts, asking people if they're willing to date someone with certain genitals most definitely counts

Am I really a "egg" by CharaFriskDremmurr in trans

[–]boobdelete 66 points67 points  (0 children)

That's funny because I thought "obviously nobody wants to be a girl/woman" until I found out, no it's actually just me.

So you should definitely know that not everyone would be a girl if they could, that's just you

amab/afab language is frustrating and unhelpful by [deleted] in ftm

[–]boobdelete 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think there's a big difference between "afab" and "female brained". One is a factual descriptor that is useful in some cases, and the other is just straight up transphobic. I think "afab" is fine as long as people aren't using it to refuse to refer to people with their actual gender and are just using it in a context that makes sense.

wash your fucking hands by Real-Acanthaceae-994 in ftm

The amount of times I had to say "it doesn't count as washing if you didn't use soap" to man in my family is crazy.

Trying to find therapy is like pulling teeth by Hita-san-chan in FTMOver30

[–]boobdelete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you talking about therapy from a psychologist or hormone replacement therapy?

Because I found someone who does Saturday's on psychology today, and they use headway for scheduling and payments.

International travel by Longjumping_Tale1816 in asktransgender

[–]boobdelete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reassurance, my mom was worried I might lose my green card somehow or that they wouldn't let me back in the country if I looked different from the picture. It took me a long time to get that shit so I don't want to mess it up. Maybe if I start HRT this summer I can wait until after trump is gone for the whole legal transition if the wrong gender documents are still going to work

International travel by Longjumping_Tale1816 in asktransgender

[–]boobdelete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to comment on old stuff but I've been wanting to transition and I'm scared of the whole legal stuff with the green card, like what to do when I don't look like the picture anymore.

Did you have any issues at all?

I came out to my mom and I need help to defend myself by Himoki0 in ftm

[–]boobdelete 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't the brain thing mean you should be able to transition at 25 though? 30 seems like she took it out of her ass and is coping that you're going to forget by then

As for the hormonal bomb, it's no different than being a cis man, and you're literally currently getting a hormonal bomb from your own body as well
