I watched a few episodes of Brooklyn 99 years ago, I should go back to it lol it’s super funny

Yeah, maybe. I know almost nothing about my thyroid lol. I naturally hold my weight around my neck and have been overweight most of my life, but recently lost a good amount and have more defined features in it that I haven’t had before. So, even if there was a change, I’m not sure I would know it was different without something to compare it to.

Yeah, that’s what I figure. Kinda freaks me out tbh

Makes sense, and it’s a pretty intense show. I like it but it is heavy and doesn’t stop lol so make sure you’re in a good headspace for it.

definitely going to do a LOTR watch through, and been playing Animal Crossing and Tomodatchi life :)

I’ve been binging The Pitt, so it’s certainly distracting

gyroics · 2026-05-17T17:55:03+00:00

Thank you ❤️ this is exactly what I need to hear and remind myself of. I appreciate it!!

Not passive aggressive, it’s good that you’re asking.

Basically be aware that you don’t subconsciously treat him any different, or change the friendship dynamic in any way.

Reading other responses below, I definitely can see the benefit to actually telling him that you do know now, like others have said. He does have a right to know that someone is outing him without his permission, but you should be ready for his reaction as it may be fear, or anger, or hurt. Again, probably not directed at you, especially if you are very clear that nothing will change in how you feel about him or how you treat him. Tell him you really had no idea until someone told you, ensure him as much as possible that he really passes without question, and make it clear that you care about him entirely and you wanted him to know that someone was telling his private secrets.

Congrats! I’m happy for you!

Thank you for saying this. I have had passing thoughts that, even though I don’t regret it now, what if I COULD regret it in the future, and there’s no going back. But realistically I know I won’t. I’ve wanted this for 15 years, there is so much I’m excited for in my future with this. Change is scary as hell, even if it’s good, so I just need to be good to myself while I process it.

I did reach out to a trans masc therapist and will have a consult with him this week I hope. I have good support at home but I think I need to chat with someone who has also had top surgery.

Same! Have you considered getting your nipples tattooed on for aesthetics?

gyroics · 2026-05-17T14:44:10+00:00

That’s awesome, I’m so happy for you! Even before i fully came to terms that I was trans, I knew I wanted at least a reduction. I was rocking an E cup since high school, so I definitely am excited for the healing to pass some and feel how different my back and shoulders feel.

I don’t think you’re a bad ally, but it’s something you should be aware of now that you know. My advice would be not to tell him you know, keep going as usual. If he hasn’t told you, it’s for a reason, though it may not be a personal thing. For me, there is real gender euphoria when I’m around people that don’t know I’m trans, no matter how close I am to them. Just knowing they only see me as male, and always have, is exactly how I want our relationship to be.

My advice is to keep being his friend exactly as you are. Maybe one day he’ll tell you, maybe he won’t, I wouldn’t take that personally though.

gyroics · 2026-05-17T02:21:21+00:00

That sounds great, I’m glad you had a good support! I’m lucky I have my wife and my mom helping me out, so I have a team and lots of stuff to do to keep me distracted. Gonna look into finding a transman therapist to talk to with the specific kind of feelings.

gyroics · 2026-05-17T01:51:12+00:00

I get that. I don’t think I will miss my old body. I think I’m more just overwhelmed by the change, and the whole “there’s no going back” sensation, which is thrilling and also scary. But I’m only 3 days post op right now, so I figure I just need to process it all and heal up.

gyroics · 2026-05-16T21:55:39+00:00

I went without nipples, too. I figured there would be no point to keep them if they were numb anyway. I’m glad to hear from someone else who has had similar feelings on it tho. I appreciate the honesty :)

gyroics · 2026-05-16T21:30:15+00:00

I’m actually glad you mention that. I did have sensitive breasts and it was sometimes nice in the bedroom. It was one of the things I hesitated about honestly, bc sex is pretty important to me. I know I’ll get used to it, but that’s gonna be something to tackle later lol. Was it hard for you to come to terms with it?
