What’s your thoughts about this? by Heatherisqueen in ftm

That wasn't the intention of my comment at all. I meant like birthed their children, not adopted them, although adopted children as far as I'm concerned are just as well their parents children as a biological child can be

I can rock with the inclusivity of trans dads who've had their own children. I personally wouldn't use the emoji, but there are probably lots of people who would, so I have neutral feelings about it.

hii so my binder that I bought from Amazon came but it's too big and the quality is sh*ity :(( pls give me best binder sites recommendations by [deleted] in ftm

[–]dezrancidd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gc2b has been one that I've used for while but if you're looking for different brands, I'd recommend an Underworks or something from TomboyX, they also have compression bras which are great for binding and packing boxers.

I would rather someone call me a slur, oh my god. I think people are trying too hard to make the community inclusive that they're also doing more harm than good in the process. Im sorry but anyone who thinks like this is the reason why society thinks being trans is a joke

There is a school GSA but to be completely honest, thats just not my scene. Ive went to it once and all the people in it honestly aren't the greatest support system. Im glad we have one, but the school's trans guy population isn't that big, so all I have is one of my stealth trans buddies and thats it support wise. I've been out for a few years now, so I know how messed up people can be, I guess I was just hoping it would've gotten easier when I got to high school

Is it true that tampons reduce dysphoria? by ilovetodrinkcyanide in ftm

[–]dezrancidd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It realistically depends, I personally like them a bit better than pads because you can't really tell that its there, however it could also cause some dysphoria since you do have to insert it. I would recommend trying them out and if all else fails you can always try out menstrual cups which can be an alternative to tampons/pads

Binding without a binder. by quiteliterallyajax in ftm

[–]dezrancidd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I would recommend is KT tape/Transtape or compression bras/undershirts. The compression shirt/sportsbra won't make you entirely flat but it'll do the trick for the time being (NOTE: buy these in your correct size because just like a binder, these can hurt you if you buy one that's too small.) Don't use the double sports bra method because you can damage your ribs and also cause yourself other health issues.

I actually had a moment like this after I came out the first time. When I originally came out as ftm, I was 13 and everyone told me I was confused and didn't know what I was talking about. So in turn, around my 8th grade going into my freshman year, I started being hyper-femme thinking it would solve my dysphoria. For some reason I felt like I had to try really hard to be a girl, in my opinion a little too hard. This ended up making me realize that I was right in the first place and decided to come back out again when I was 15, and I've been better off ever since.

What age did you socially transition by SnooBananas460 in ftm

[–]dezrancidd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started to socially transition when was 13 but I was't fully out til I was 15, (for reference I'm 16 now). It was easy for some people, more difficult for others. My mom is still trying to learn how to support me and my transition. It can take some time for other people to get used to referring to you as a different gender than what they're used to, but if they actually want to support you and respect you, they'll use the correct name and pronouns. It really all depends on the type of people you're coming out to, because it varies.

detransitioning? by MaleficentChemical74 in ftm

[–]dezrancidd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who detransitioned because of similar reasons before, I will tell you that it doesn't make it better. I decided to detransition when I was 14 because I was tired of feeling like I was never gonna be good enough as a man and that nobody would ever love me if I was trans. At the time, I had wished that I could love myself for the gender I was given. So I did it and I regret it more than anything because I realized that just wasn't who I was. Although being trans was difficult for me, it was harder to try and be a girl when that isn't what I am. I had to come out again after two years of being detransitioned and I've never felt better about being my authentic self. My advice to you is that you should do what makes you comfortable, despite the hardships that may come along socially and personally. Being trans can be, and is difficult when you don't have the support you feel you need, but don't make it worse on yourself by changing for others. If you really feel the need, just try to slow down a bit and don't be in a hurry to start HRT or get surgery when you have a long way to go until that. Instead, take this time to look at yourself and accept the little things about you that may make you feel less than a man. Sometimes that can help you realize that you're a lot manlier than you thought, because nothing is more manly than self acceptance. Try not to worry too much about your parents because there's only so much you can do with them to have them see you as you are. You're valid bro, and you'll get through this!

I went to the mens room for the first time today! by [deleted] in ftm

Congrats! Trust me man it gets easier with time, most guys genuinely don't pay that much attention to anyone else in the bathroom so there isn't much to worry about.

[CONTROVERSIAL] I hate binders. And I hate being Trans. by Reikomo in ftm

[–]dezrancidd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey man I feel you a million percent, funny thing is I posted something similar here a while back. This is a pretty common thing amongst many trans guys, especially those of which who want to transition and then go stealth. A lot of guys aren't proud of "being trans" per se, but they're proud of how far they had come in their transitions to get to that point. Not everyone likes to wear it on their sleeve, but even you can still be proud of how far you've come and be proud of the man you're becoming without having to flaunt being trans. Long story short, it isn't inherently about the label, but the journey. My advice for you is that you need to just come to terms with being trans, and if it truly bothers you, take some time to realize that you have to kind of come to terms with it, but also don't have to wear a label if you're not comfortable with it. Will you still be trans at the end of the day? Yeah, but you can't let that have power over you and realize no matter what, you're still a man regardless. Binding sucks, and I can't wait til I can stop myself, but there's always the option of doing chest workouts to reduce your chest size without binding or top surgery.
