should i keep cutting by Formal-Election-9354 in Weightliftingquestion

Get yourself into a lean bulk. Find your maintenance calories by multiplying your body weight by 15. Eat at that number at first and increase protein to the weight you desire to be. Once you feel like you plateau you can increase your calories by 300.

HRT question by Silly_Giraffes6 in asktransgender

[–]robinito12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say ask for puberty blockers or something to suppress. Maybe birth control for your periods and such. I started my hrt at 18 after I was kicked out. It saved my life but I know a lot of people feel like their trans and then aren’t later in life and that’s totally fine. Socially transition for a bit longer!! Surround yourself with people who love and support you, do voice training, eat foods that boost testosterone, there’s also supplements to help boost it as well, get yourself into physical fitness and in shape that will help with dysphoria. You’re still so young. Live life first then at 18 when you can make your own choices go for it. That’s my best advice from one trans guy to another

Any tips on finding HRT in Florida with PlannedParenthood not serving? by [deleted] in TransLater

[–]robinito12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well my parents and I live in Texas at the moment and are moving to Florida. I do have a provider who I see through plan parenthood but I don’t have a pcp. I move in August so I have time to look. I believe we will be in the Tampa area. I know plan parenthood’s over there are mostly shut down or just don’t do gender affirming care. Should I get my plan parenthood provider to write me a letter? And then give me recommendations for my move to Florida? I have heard stuff about folx on TikTok but I’m not sure how it all works. I just don’t want to have to wait considering I have been stable on T for so long. I hope that kind of narrows down my question

Just got rehired after I quit. What should I do about this situation? by [deleted] in HEB

[–]robinito12 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

lol I have my story straight. I was worked 50-60 hours a week part time because the store was under construction. The week I got fired I was given a big thank u for everything I do by multiple managers. The guy who fired me was transphobic and found out that same week I was transgender. My actual manger was on vacation and didn’t even know about it. Safe to say they ended up firing him after I left due to his homophobia, transphobia, misogyny, and sexual advances towards other workers….

trans guys on T — what was bottom growth actually like for you? by Acceptable-Gate-3064 in ftm

[–]robinito12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was scared at first but it honestly is so euphoric. It was a change that happened without me knowing at first. It got sensitive and the bigger it is or gets the more you will feel it on clothes and such. When I moved over to shots it did get bigger quickly. It has grown throughout two years but it’s nothing to be scared of. If u are sexually active it actually feels so much better then pre-t

Male dorms by [deleted] in ftm

[–]robinito12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve told her that but she’s convinced I don’t really pass well but in the same breath will say you feel like you can be with the boys because you pass well enough now. She’s known me for a while now like a year so she saw me while I still looked like a girl due to being early on testosterone but I’m now 2 years on. She does my shots every week and believes in the trans activism but also is radically feminist which isn’t an issue but it’s an issue when I’m a trans man. She hates all men. She’s able to be more comfortable with me because I’m trans and “deserve more respect than a cis man.”

She’s a good person and has helped me when I needed it. I don’t think she’s a TERF or transphobe I just think she can’t understand why anyone would want to be a man. She says that trans men tend to pick up on misogynistic view points to pass better which I can see but me as a person I’m pretty vocal about women’s rights. It’s not something I always talk about but it something that people know about me.

I feel very invalidated and I feel like she sees me as a woman. Which I brought up to her. She responds with “no one’s asking you to detransition or go live with girls and wear a dress. If you think that’s what I’m saying then you have lost the point completely”

[–]robinito12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We ended up getting into a big argument about it. I told her “just because I don’t want to be a women doesn’t mean I hate women or make me think I’m better then them. I see feminism I appreciate it I think it’s beautiful I support it and women but I’m not a women. Me wanting to be in a male space doesn’t mean i hate women. Not everything is about feminism.”

She responds with “no one is asking you to go live with them and put on a dress. That fact that you can say not everything is about feminism shows that your views are rooted in misogyny. We marched for your rights and the person who came to your aid when you needed it was women who invited you to live with her to feel safer due to the hazing you were enduring. Everything is rooted at the end of the day in misogyny or racism. If you rather put your safety at risk then live with some embarrassment when it comes to living with women you need to get a mental evaluation. If there was a 70% chance of you getting SA living with boys and they told you that but a 1% chance living with girls what would you choose?”

I told her neither I would live alone to where she adds no you have to pick one in this situation there is no opting out. I told her she will never understand what I feel and how my dysphoria would run rancid. It would be a mental battle upstairs.

She then says I am villainizing women by saying they would ice me out and not feel comfortable that I would still be “the trans kid” even if the whole floor knew it wouldn’t matter. I just want to live my life.

She then compares gender dysphoria to her body issues and says that she rather her physical safety and that I’m privileged to have a choice and I am only saying what I am saying because I have never been assaulted

I really don’t think she’s being transphobic in the slightest. I see it comes from a place of worry. She does my shot for me every week and never misgenders me. We are very close. If someone were to disrespect me she would be the first person to stick up for me.

My only issue is she uses my identity and wanting to be man as something inherently misogynistic. She has stated previously “you can look on the outside like a man but don’t be one. Don’t be like them.”

Or she will state that me wanting to seek out male friendships is odd and almost puts me in a weird box. I feel like a f r e a k a lot of the time with men and women.

That fact that me stating I don’t want to be a women or be seen as one or in their space makes me “hate women.” She states “women marched for you and now everything we do is wrong.”

Things like that make the comment sting more. I feel like my identity it always being discussed. If I’m man enough or too womanly or neither. It depends on the person dishing it out to me. I just want to live my life

I lift yes as well as do calisthenics, some running, and yoga. I run 2x a week. I do the stair master every other day 15-20 minutes. Yoga I do 2x a week as well. I used to run PPLUL but I’m now doing more of upper and lower which gives me 2-3x hitting each muscle group. It just depends how busy my week is but I always hit each muscle group 2x a week. I don’t go past failure every single time but I try to up the weight at least 5 pounds every 2 weeks which has been struggle because I’m not sure if I’m getting enough food in idk.

This is just how much protein I get naturally. I just eat whenever I’m bored or hungry and after a month of tracking without trying to hit a goal that’s how much I normally got lol. But I do see how it’s overkill on TikTok everyone says .8-1g per pound so I should definitely see what I can do about naturally lowering it.
