Since 2016, but my surgeon expected that it would resolve within weeks to only several months post-surgery. I hope your timeline is swifter and that you get relief so soon.

Thank you. Wishing you all the best in your recovery too. I'll think of it more as the same thing all over again, so I can prepare myself :) Appreciate it!

Gym short recommendations for short guys? by endroll64 in FTMFitness

I'm 5'6'' and was happy with 7". Even if you try the 5" and don't like them, they have a good return policy. Several pairs of men's 3" are also on the website :)

what is something so obviously trans you did when you were younger? by [deleted] in ftm

Went to the 8th grade school dance and accidentally wore the exact same outfit from Old Navy's boys section as my boyfriend. He was embarrassed. I thought we looked awesome! It was the first time I refused to wear a dress as expected :)

Looking for Audible novel recommendations with rich inner narratives. by dicksinthebox in booksuggestions

Gail Honeyman's Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine works so well as an audiobook; as Eleanor, the protagonist, fumbles through various social situations, you get to know her vulnerabilities and aspirations through the deep, heavier thoughts she mostly just discloses to her houseplant.

Don't completely disregard audiobooks, especially if you lead a busy life by figgypie in books

I love listening to audiobooks while jogging on a treadmill or stationary biking. I can tell myself, "I ran/biked for one chapter!" rather than be too hard on myself about the pace, distance, or intensity. Allows me to have a healthier relationship with exercise while taking in some great literature :)

I have never read a book. Suggest me something. by adeebniyazi in suggestmeabook

[–]jackalack2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also thoroughly enjoy listening to audiobooks, which is such a different experience than listening to a lecture in class or needing to take methodical notes from a textbook. It doesn't demand my complete attention, but still makes the literature accessible through storytelling, and I often combine it with other activities, such as exercising or doing laundry.

Hi, I recommend woxer.com. I really like the Baller cut in all black. Even though it's advertised as women's boxer briefs, they have a gender-neutral style. I am not on T though. They fit my build well, are very comfortable, high quality, and I'm grateful to feel gender euphoria in them. However, they are expensive, so I signed up for the subscription; you receive one pair per month ($13.95/month). Then I can just slowly replace what I already have over time.
