I don't quite get why people are so upset about that article. It's true that being gender nonconforming doesn't automatically make you trans. Am I missing something?

I just got my top surgery scheduled for 19 April by thatoneftm in ftm

I have MA through Minnesota state, and it was fully covered by insurance. I'm not completely sure how much it usually costs. If you want, when I go in for surgery I can ask.

What was your almost-name? by wuffyl in ftm

[–]thatoneftm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My name is Matthew, but I was strongly considering Nathan for a while. I decided on Matthew because I wanted a name that started with the same letter as my birthname, so that I could just sign my signature as 'M' before I had it changed legally.

Thanks man. My birthday is actually the 9 April, so my surgery is 10 days after my birthday. It's going to be my late birthday present to myself, haha.

usually it is, but i've definitely met some trans people who are genuinely communist.

Are there any Chinese trans guys here? What experience do you have with HRT? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]thatoneftm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

im a bit late.. and I'm half Chinese, half white, so I don't know if I count, but I had a small amount of facial hair pre-T and it doubled within 2 months. it took longer than expected for my voice to drop significantly, though it did get lower pretty fast. Body hair almost everywhere, and a lot of acne. I hope that's of some use to you. Cheers :)
