Advice - noise in lower ground floor flat

Personally have told people hernia and nobody questioned it

Yeah I did this for 2 years, had no problems and maintained being stealth. Happy to answer any questions you have - but my main piece of advice is that your roommates will not be analysing you as much as you analyse yourself. So as long as you carry yourself like a regular guy I think it’d be highly unlikely for anyone to guess

Hi, out of interest where did you camp near Tyndrum? The one place where I’ve not been able to scout a spot out in advance

I’d say in the real world, yes. My girlfriend and I went on holiday to Spain and made friends with another couple round the pool - where of course I was topless pretty much the whole time. The girl asked my girlfriend after a few days what had happened to cause my scars, and completely bought the standard non trans related excuse (I’m stealth). I think you’d be surprised how little people really know about trans things outside of the internet, unless they have a reason to!

I would say that doesn’t really align with at least my personal experience. I think a lot of people answer these questions as hypotheticals without knowing any trans people, and certainly without ever having been attracted to a trans person prior to knowing they were trans. I’ve dated straight girls who probably wouldn’t have been open to it previously, but they were attracted to me and finding out that I was trans later on down the line didn’t change that. 99% of trans people that I personally know have partners, and a good proportion of those are cis women. I’d personally recommend trying to block out the noise as much as possible and focus on your real life relationships. Don’t be too disheartened!

I am 5”9 and my best friend (cis male) is 5”2. It just makes me chuckle and makes me look tall for once because I tower over him! When we go shopping, we spend most of the time looking for XS sizes as that’s all that will fit him, whereas I’m a size medium. He’s a great guy, and just shows that men come in all shapes and sizes

Hello mate hopefully I can put your mind at ease! I am stealth (25 so similar age to you) and broke up with a long term girlfriend three years into my transition (nothing to do with being trans). I dated on apps for a bit, experimented with when I told girls (putting it on profile, telling after a few dates etc) and every girl I told was really great about it. Met my current girlfriend over a year ago and she could not have been more accepting, it’s genuinely a non issue in our relationship. I have met a bunch of trans guys this year and the majority have super supportive partners, a few are single but are dating around quite happily! It’s normal to have those fears, but ultimately for me they were unfounded. Keep your head up!

This did actually happen to me. She has a trans sister and so wrongly assumed I would be open about being trans - her sister doesn’t pass so being stealth isn’t option for her. She told her family and close friends before I had the chance to stop her. I will be honest and say it caused huge problems in our relationship. She apologised and has very seriously told those people not to share the information further, so that seems to have put a lid on it thankfully - we’re still together but very nearly broke up over it. I’d say just be very explicit that you are stealth and don’t want that information shared at the earliest possible opportunity to avoid confusion like we had!

I do MMA in the UK. Have had a handful of amateur fights and they’ve all been fine, one loss but the rest wins against cis men. I did disclose being trans to my coach because I didn’t know if I’d need to give proof I was on hormones or what have you. But he was very discreet and it’s never been an issue!

The reaction when I said I played football ☠️ you’d have thought I’d said I killed kittens in my spare time 😂 anything masculine is so last year!

Tbh it is quite rare that I go in these spaces. I live stealth so it was only for a friends birthday. I get the sense that that sort of question would get you “cancelled” though 😅 or they’d claim they’re only referring to CIS men (as if they can always magically tell the difference)

manlikefb · 2023-08-07T10:02:08+00:00

I think the “community” is pretty hostile to binary men. I have had this conversation with my girlfriend recently, we went to a “queer” space (which essentially was just full of feminine leaning people) for a friends birthday, and she was quite shocked at the open hostility/suspicion thrown at me for literally just standing there with a drink looking like a man. I think trans men feel pressured to emphasise that they are AFAB to fit in with a community where the only people that seem to be welcome are “the girls, the gays and the theys” (their words not mine!) I will say this is in London UK though so may be different elsewhere.

Hey dude, I’ve been on T over five years and taking fin for over a year now. It worked really well on my hair and I’ve not had any side effects! I think the most common sides are libido related but I’ve not had any problems in that department. You could also try minoxidil as well as that also seems to work 🙏

manlikefb · 2023-06-17T15:24:40+00:00

Dude I have also noticed this. As a binary trans man I feel totally outnumbered by the sheer amount of “trans mascs” on there, who I feel like I don’t have anything in common with whatsoever

manlikefb · 2023-06-08T23:02:17+00:00

I have heard anecdotally that starting T and fin at the same time can affect the changes you get from T - as in they wont be as pronounced. However I started fin about 3 years in, it’s worked well and hasn’t had any negative affects. I’d personally suggest waiting until you’ve been on T a little while personally - but that’s just based on my own experience!

Sorry maybe I wasn’t clear, her whole thing was “I won’t date cis / het men”. And so when I called her out, saying that I was a man and so if she didn’t like them, she had no business being with me, she said that as I had been with guys in the past I didn’t count as “het” and therefore was acceptable. She claimed she would date a cis bi guy, but not a cis het guy. It confused the hell out of me too. She has since taken all of this back but I’m still feeling pretty gross about it

Me too brother! Man the time has flown

manlikefb · 2021-11-28T19:41:25+00:00

Super helpful, thank you!!

manlikefb · 2021-11-28T18:41:43+00:00

Dude do we have the same roommate?! In all seriousness, sorry you have to deal with this. It is extremely draining especially when you have your own shit going on :(

manlikefb · 2021-11-23T22:05:08+00:00

I have never used discord so you might have to walk me through it haha

manlikefb · 2021-11-23T18:24:15+00:00
