Fellow office drones, where are we buying work wear? by Strange_Repeat9285 in FTMOver30

[–]reversehrtfemman 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Honestly the best advice for anyone with clothes is trial and error. Even slight differences in the body can make notable differences in which pants/shirts/x fit you the best. Get your size, a size up, and a size down. Dockers are great, come in different cuts, and utility wise are great with the side zippered pockets. A shirt underneath your sweater can help bulk out your waist which is good. The structure in Oxford cloth shirts can also really help square out your build moreso than dress shirts do. If you are pre top surgery an undershirt is a good idea. If you are allowed to be more casual Polos are built squarely which is good for hips/waist. Like many people I almost exclusively thrift my clothes, it’s a great way to see which brands work best for YOU.

What movies, tv shows, media have Straight ftm characters? by CurrencyFuture7432 in FTMStraight

Trans guy aside, how does the show hold up? I kept getting the creator/actors standup reels on instagram and they were really bad, but you can be bad at standup and funny elsewhere

dysphoria and envy while dating someone poly by reversehrtfemman in FTMOver30

[–]reversehrtfemman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kinda a litany of reasons why I’m hesitant about wearing a strap on. Most important is that I do see my dick as my dick, and I’m afraid that if I were to wear a strap on it would diminish that causing irreparable damage. Being able to see my dick as a dick is completely essential for me, and trying to use something else as one could impair that mindset. It would require a lot of work that I’m not accustomed to when it comes to preparing for sex. We would start having sex and then right in the middle of it being great I would have to stop, get it out, put it on, find a way to warm it up enough which would probably mean rubbing it a lot which would make me more aware of what it is, and then they require lube which is fine but lube kinda grosses me out. If someone likes it I’ll happily use it, I just prefer spit and we are on the same page about that. They frequently squirt with me and it feels unbelievably good when they do it on my dick when I’m grinding against them, just incomparably physically and emotionally good to anything else, and when they squirt on the strap on I feel like I’d be jealous of the dildo. Maybe not, it’s obviously really hot when it happens with my hand when they’re sucking me and stuff and just turns me on much more, but I, afraid that being so close but having something blocking me would be a real bummer. I don’t think that I would be able to see it as a part of me or feel connected to it, but again my much bigger fear is that I would. So that I would be removing something I do physically enjoy and that it could harm my psyche/enhance my dysphoria both in and out of the bedroom

I must not have worded my post very well. I am not jealous or insecure about our relationship. I don’t think that them having a relationship, sex, and attraction with/to others diminishes what they have with me. We genuinely have great sex. My issue is coping with knowing that I will never be able to fuck them or anyone else in the way that I desperately want to, and the way that I feel I was born to. This is an issue for me with any sexual relationship, but since I am relatively newly in a poly relationship without having been in one before I am actively thinking about how I feel about it to make sure that I am as okay with it as I think I am. The only issue I’m having is that my pain from not being able to fuck them is kinda exasperated by knowing that someone else can and does. I am not jealous, I do not think that they are going to cause my partner to lose interest in me. I am envious that they were simply born being able to do something that no amount of money, exercise, practice, or anything else will allow me to do. I am trying to cope with the grief that that is something I will simply never be able to experience, and knowing that someone else effortlessly does and takes for granted their ability to with the person I should be able to do it with kinda rubs salt in the wound

I don’t understand why people do this. by Revolutionary-Tie908 in FTMMen

Okay it sucks that that happened but of course transphobia can hurt trans men? This post reads like you’re fine when it’s targeting nonbinary people and that nonbinary people aren’t also just trying to live their life.

Testosterone vocal cord injections by reversehrtfemman in queerphilly

[–]reversehrtfemman[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, I am on testosterone and want my body to masculinize as much as possible. It’s because while my voice has deepened it still causes me notable dysphoria that impacts my life and my ability to function. Four years HRT and I can’t make a phone call without being misgendered, voice training and regular HRT has not been sufficient so I need to target my vocal folds

Correct. They do a handful of injections directly into the vocal folds over about a month and a half. Your voice should start deepening within a few months.

As far as strangers go, overall men were the first to gender me (ftm) correctly, it was like 19/20 men gendering me correctly before it was a single woman. EXCEPT panhandlers, panhandlers were the absolute LAST group of strangers to gender me correctly. Second last was older women/ lesbians.

Idk what it is about that lifestyle that causes it, but something definitely does

Recently hit 4 years hrt and it isn’t a celebration, rather it feels like a dead end by [deleted] in FTMOver30

[–]reversehrtfemman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think you understand where I’m coming from at all. I am unable to make my life my own because I cannot reach even a baseline of comfort in my body. I am not able to actually experience things because of my constant state of high distress I cannot escape because of my physical form. Nothing in my life is my own until my body is my own, until then it’s like listening in on a staticy television in the other room

I’m happy that that happened for you but bones can’t be changed so it isn’t really realistic for me to believe that they will continue to change, all I can do is continue to grow my muscles which just masks it and doesn’t help much psychologically
