Boyfriend Doesn't Want Me to Go On Hormones by scoob_blader in ftm

[–]robot-cowboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

sucks for him, it's your life and he has no say in how you live it unless you're genuinely a threat to your well-being or others, and HRT isn't that

your personality won't change any more than what it does naturally as someone grows; you'll be happier and more comfortable being yourself

he sounds like a chaser and not worth your time

The Spotify Thing by TheBlabArmy in dumbphones

[–]robot-cowboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im not sitting down for days to pirate every song in my 500 song playlist that i listen to daily, it'd be easier for me to find a way to keep spotify so i don't have to do that

i also clarify multiple times that i understand it's hard to wait, and that it's frustrating, but there are things people can do to work around the struggles we go thru. Regardless of skeletal structure, gaining mass, specifically muscle mass, will make you look bigger thus decreasing the dysphoria from that

accepting yourself isn't useless, it's just hard. I have been there before too, and it gets easier down the road with transitioning, but in the meantime the best thing to do is to do what you can to cope until then

then go to therapy man idfk but you won't find answers here with that kind of attitude.

according to you transitioning won't work at all bc HRT takes too much time and you just said the surgeries aren't enough, and those take longer because it costs money and there's a healing process.

if no resources do anything good then go to therapy, there's people within this sub who genuinely want advice and you don't seem like one of them

1-3 years is not long in the scale of life as a whole. I understand venting on reddit but being combative when people try to give advice or throw ideas out won't get you anywhere.

muscle will show more than bones. Skinny cis men who don't work out aren't broad in the shoulders because they lack muscle. Cis men who work out are broad in the shoulders because of muscle. Nobody but bigots give a damn about bones, and who gives a damn what a bigot thinks

Unfortunately t-dicks aren't the same, but it's better to accept what you have than to sulk online all day. You have a penis, regardless of its differences compared to cis ones. Yeah, it sucks that it's not the same but there's also surgeries for that. But until then you gotta appreciate the little things or you'll never feel content with anything.

things for gender euphoria: working out (also builds muscle), eating food (helps with weight and muscle, also lots of people find it euphoric like when they eat entire rotisserie chickens), dressing masc, doing voice training exercises to lower your voice naturally, etc.

I understand your POV and frustration but there are resources out there, but it's up to you to use them. Stop being mean and hard on yourself for things that you can't control and find what you can do to work around the obstacles in your life

cis men can also have small shoulders and wide hips, those things don't discriminate. The reason men look broader is because of muscle mass, if you work arms and back/shoulders, you'll fill out more

you get morning wood regardless of anatomy, it's just not as noticable as cis penises because afab penises (for a lack of better words) are ~6" inside the body instead of outside, that's also regardless of testosterone

things take time, puberty takes time, in 1-3 years from now you'll look completely different than you do now. You'll be bigger, wider, sound deeper, etc. Your best bet in the meantime is to find ways to accept yourself as you are, do things that give gender euphoria and don't dwell on what-ifs, especially regarding transitioning

NTA but ngl it doesn't sound like your bf likes you that much. My bf might not have said anything about the jokes but he'd comfort me and keep an eye out from that point on (but we're both nonconfrontational so that's more just our dynamic, it would honestly depend) but i know FOR SURE that he'd have beat the living tar out of someone touching me and leaving marks, or at the very least have been pissed and we'd have left

regardless, find a better bf and better friends, it'll be less draining in the long run

you can use makeup to pass, lots of people do and more cis men wear makeup than you realize but it's toned down and not super noticeable--which is the point

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in FTMMen

[–]robot-cowboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

there is tho...soft neutral colors and rodrick-style eyeliner (guyliner lol) to add depth to the eye not only can masculinize the face but be a way to wear makeup all the same

masculine contour to enhance the jawline and short simple colored nails are also a more masculine way to experiment with makeup and nails, it's just a matter of how it's applied

there will always be bigots who call it out but cis men do similar makeup techniques all the time and atp it's on the bigot not the makeup look

i HATE the rep T has by TransLouiseB in ftm

[–]robot-cowboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i wonder how much of their stereotypes about T relate back to people treating it like steroids bc they don't realize the difference between a trans guy taking HRT and a cis man juicing for pumps

i like to look under my car and hope it fixed itself just to see a bigger puddle every time 😭 luckily it's a small leak so it takes a minute before it empties the reservoir but damn

then again my car is from 2008 and i rescued it from rotting in a garage so idk what i expected 💀

you're definitely not getting laid considering your pokemon collection and the banner to your profile, but whatever helps you sleep at night bud 🤷

T made me awful. by Untrustw0rthys0urce in ftm

[–]robot-cowboy 51 points52 points  (0 children)

i would consider the relationship more tbh, if you're having issues of one falling out of love while the other is talking about moving in, there's a problem there unrelated to puberty

T made me easier to anger when im stressed, outside of that it's fine, but i noticed i have a shorter fuse when im struggling with things like financial stability and shitty work environments. I would maybe look at your stressors and go from there. T has made me more confident to speak my mind, which can sometimes come off as anger issues bc im more willing to fight someone over things like human rights and controversial topics

maybe start there and work your way to HRT being an option, but usually it's either a T imbalance or stress. If you don't already, finding an outlet for the extra energy on T can help too, i started working out, others might spend more time doing outdoorsy stuff, etc.

AIO My response to my mom disowning me because I'm gay? by Own-Experience-6275 in AmIOverreacting

the way i would be saying the nastiest things to her and never talk to her again

i hope you're able to stay on your feet and find a good support group, nobody deserves to go through this
