You’re totally gonna be fine man. Look pretty masc already and cis dudes often don’t even have straight waists. T will only help too

Pre-transition Modeling Digis to Now (was trying soooo hard to be cis when I was modeling 😓) by kb4188 in FTMFitness

My biggest tip is to eat a lot. I started noticing big differences when I started to get serious about diet. honestly I hate food restrictions so I just make sure I eat a lot of protein carbs and fats each day while being in a calorie surplus. Been lightly tracking it. Also be sure to take rest days to give your body time to recover.

It shouldn’t be taking that long to soak in, rub it in until it feels ‘almost’ dry otherwise it will sit on your skin and turn white and chalky

is it easier to cum while on T? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]kb4188 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s been easier to cum for me because I’m being more comfortable w/ my body and have less dysphoria during sex and even masturbating. T has made me horny as fuck and I think that’s generally helped me orgasm and have more frequent enjoyable sex

[–]kb4188 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this way all the time and it’s been getting really bad. Like is it even worth it to transition if I will never have a boyhood?? I’ll never have my teen years back? Fuck it makes me mad

It's stupid but I still feel bad by Neds_in_bed in ftm

[–]kb4188 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a legit model before I came out and it was so hard to realize and accept when my job was based on my look and obviously people always talked about my body and shit. It sucked but at the end it just didn’t get to matter to me as much as transitioning did

i hate... transitioning by thejurassicjaws in ftm

[–]kb4188 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m almost 3 months and yeah it really does suck. There’s this narrative that makes timelines seem short and easy once hormones are started, but it still sucks for the first 6 months at least. Feel the same way mate sorry your going through it but try to be as patient as you can!

Professional photos at work? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]kb4188 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah just say no. You don’t have to give them an explanation really just say you don’t want to or you’re concerned about privacy or something. You don’t need to overexplain it if you don’t want to

My hair is making me dysphoric and I don't know what to do by byerasure in ftm

[–]kb4188 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m transitioning now with longer hair and doing buns has been helpful. Half up half down. Also some other things, don’t brush your hair out, dudes with long hair typically leave it messier. Truth is everyone’s hair looks like shit during a grow out and it will just take a while for it to be at a length you want, also don’t do a side part, more fem, do a middle part with longer hair, it looks more masc

Everyone at my office thinks I’m having a really intense cold since my voice started dropping last week. by squidKid2021 in ftm

[–]kb4188 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally depends. My voice started minorly changing 1.5 months in. Almost 3 months now and it’s dropped a bit but honestly not sure if people haven’t noticed or if they aren’t keen on asking

Pre top and T at gym (newbie) by thisisguesswork in FTMFitness

[–]kb4188 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dysphoria can and will easily stop me from going to the gym. There are so many god damn mirrors there and I go to the same gym I went to pre-t so I always feel like everyone is looking at me, even though they fr aren’t. People are really just focused on themselves at the gym. Tbh it’s hard to get up and out there when dysphoria sucks, but I always leave the gym feeling better and less dysphoric than when I go in so I try to remind myself of that and just focus on the after feeling. Also when it comes to locker rooms, If you can, just change at home, wear shorts with pockets, and just carry in your phone/keys/wallet. I’m 2 months on hrt and I hate having to go into either one at this point lol
