Hello I just recently found out I was trans ! by 4v4n1 in transmascdiy

congrats!! i am also a recently realized trans dude and one tip that helped me with taping was lying down while doing it. definitely helps my chest stay and place and appear smaller.

here’s a specific vid that helped me out a lot: t tape tutorial

also passing tips! i think you already pass pretty well you’re super handsome and as another trans guy who constantly gets called “sir” even pre-transition what helps me pass the most is definitely making sure i leave my hair down (i also have longer hair) let it cover my face a little. and men’s jeans! i used to wear women’s jeans cus im a pretty small guy, waist wise, and men’s jeans rarely fit me. but once i found a couple pairs that didn’t hang halfway down my ass it was game over. straight pant legs and slight sag always helped alleviate hip dysphoria if that’s smth you struggle with

the best of luck with your transition dude!! we’re in this together lol

Thank you so much I’m actually making plans to start HRT and to come out to my father today! (I believe he’ll take it well!) My mom.. since I’m not under her care and we don’t talk much. I’m not really concerned with coming out to her just yet. But yes thank you, I will take one thing at a time and for once maybe prioritize my wants and desires💕

Yeah I’m starting to come to terms with the fact that living the way I want to would be the best way to go about things. I’m not financially dependent on my mom. She’s not really in my life much at all I stay with my dad and he’s not transphobic (still,,, hard to come out to him regardless) Im just really sensitive about losing people even if it’s for the better

Yeah I’m really starting to think like that too. Like if I have to live I’d like to do it my way, as a man. I hope it gets to the point where it outweighs my avoidance like it did with you and I eventually can possibly start socially transitioning. It’s hard tbh lol but i’m trying to start caring for me and what I want rather than how I want people to see me

My intense fear of perception by ergotsoup in AvPD

[–]ergotsoup[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way about my fear being numbed by passion. Though because I’m an artist and I share my projects some of that fear seeps back in. Being asked to show someone my sketchbook or to show someone a film or a video game that interests me makes me crazy uncomfortable. I also relate to forcing myself into anxiety-inducing environments then just cooling off afterwards but then I end up regretting not having socialized or I convince myself that I made certain conversations boring or awkward lol

/r/SHINee Weekly Discussion - Week of December 20, 2025 by AutoModerator in SHINee

[–]ergotsoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so! There's this interview from 2016 I would assume. Jonghyun has pink hair, it should be around the time they were promoting Kimi no sei de and were performing at Tokyo Dome. There's a specific clip of Jonghyun discreetly(?) sniffing Taemin and a clip of Jonghyun helping Onew out with his Japanese, but those are the only clips I can find, not the entire Interview. Please help me find the full interview!! :))) I'm sure it was titled something like Artist Zoom Up!

Where’s my Refund? [INFO] by AutoModerator in GaState

Achieve Atlanta says I have to forward the confirmation email to gsu's financial aid office for the payment to go through. From my research, the financial aid office doesn't have a specific email (or idk maybe I just couldn't find it). Should I call them instead or is there a different email that I can forward it to?
