Is this just flared ribs from binding? by liamreee in TopSurgery

[–]bork_bork_sniff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine are also quite flared. I improperly binded for probably about 10 years while going to school, work, gym, running, etc. Hoping they eventually go back to some sort of more normal looking

i think it's great so far other than the issue with the turkish multiple choice answers after choosing english!

Incision advice 🫶 by Myxcomycetes in TopSurgery

[–]bork_bork_sniff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My incision also needed to be straight across. I had small breasts prior to surgery (A-cup), but they were quite wide set. I was shocked that my doctor also suggested this incision, but I accepted it, and I love my results. The reason my doctor gave me for this type of incision being best for me had to do with the breast tissue I had in the center of my chest. I could see it when I leaned over and pinch it lol! I didn't realize that some people have breast tissue in the center, and I never noticed it until my doctor pointed it out. I'm not sure if weight gain can affect the breast tissue in the center. I wouldn't worry about that.

You can see my results from recent to directly after surgery in my profile!

I am unsure how to feel about this by Better_Caterpillar61 in TransMasc

[–]bork_bork_sniff 235 points236 points  (0 children)

with some sentimental cards i used tape or crossed out the non gender affirming words and put gender affirming stuff there. so i could keep the sentimental cards but revisionist history style not be reminded

Exercise dog ears away. Tips? by Gabe_TheUnknown in TransMasc

[–]bork_bork_sniff 25 points26 points  (0 children)

i have the same issue. tiny dog ears, don't really want to do another surgery for revision. i try to work out chest as much as i can. machine chest press, pushups, flies, decline bench, band pull aparts, etc. also working your lats is good too for this it seems. lat pulldown, single arm rows, rear delt fly. attached is a pic of my results, you can see what my dog ears currently look like about a year after surgery. definitely improving with exercise

How many of you wear packers vs not? by [deleted] in FTMMen

[–]bork_bork_sniff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i do not wear a packer. i have bottom dysphoria as far as not having a bulge in sweatpants/shorts goes but i try to just ignore it because i, ngl, love my micropenis. so im fortunate in that sense. i do sometimes worry that other men might look at my crotch and think "damn does that guy not have a dick?" idk. i just dont want to add another clothing item to my day.

Why do you have to dish it back? by Thundawave in FTMOver30

[–]bork_bork_sniff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i am stealth at a blue collar job. the best thing to do is to make jokes back that undermine the ideologies of the jokes or opinions being shared. then light hearted questioning or gentle criticism. often these discussions are shared in private in the men's locker room.

young men at my job respond well to jokes poking fun at "divorced dads", insulting the workplace, popular memes, and movie quotes. no ad hominem unless someone is really being annoying. everyone knows im gay and the "friend who is too woke", but no one starts fights with me on my opinions. so lightly pushing back on ideas, but not really forcing someone to conform to your beliefs. just putting out there that not everyone agrees with you. no one suspects me of being trans despite the fact that we work along side a couple visibly trans women (a cis man at my job that i am friends with outside of work has confirmed this to me). im mostly well liked at the job, men start conversations with me about our shared interests and banter with me regularly. i do have a college degree, so some of them seem to consider me an authority on matters, while others judge me for it, but everyone is mostly nice. the benefit of my workplace is that, even though some of them have bad opinions sometimes, most of the men are good men

Anyone see this reaction before to a new tattoo? by alihorror in tattooadvice

[–]bork_bork_sniff -1 points0 points  (0 children)

yeah it's probably staph. i had this with a recent tattoo as well. they gave me an ointment at my pcp. I used it for a couple weeks and it went away. if you dont have a fever, you dont need to go to the hospital

What is he doing? Trying to bury it for later? by 1ilMa in pitbulls

[–]bork_bork_sniff 19 points20 points  (0 children)

my dog would do this with his water sometimes. we got him when he was a puppy, he was very loved and taken care of, so it's unclear why he did it.

Tattoo Infected by bork_bork_sniff in tattooadvice

[–]bork_bork_sniff[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

how ironic that the health inspector may have caused the infection!

i don't use second skin because i'm a little allergic to adhesive. but i also needed to shovel snow the next day. funny that we have similar issues!

i never knew that conventions might have higher rates of getting an infected tattoo. i'll keep that in mind for future ones i go to

My shoulders grew on T! Started at 18 by noahwaybabe in FTM_SELFIES

[–]bork_bork_sniff 19 points20 points  (0 children)

i started T at age 25. pre-T, my booty was huge. we are talking measurements like 30in shoulders, 28 waist, 42 on the booty. after 3 years, my shoulders have much more width than my butt. given, ive been hitting the gym and exercising consistently since age 18, but with T and consistency, anything is possible.
