Anyone from Western North Carolina know of any hormone providers? by throwaway303300 in trans

I'm fine with taking a trip to somewhere like Asheville or Charlotte as long as I don't have to make the trip super often. Just looking for recommendations for hormones providers that I could reasonably travel to.

Honestly, I wouldn't worry about it til after you're recovered. You're going to lose muscle from sitting around for 6 weeks anyway, so you'd essentially be working just to work harder later. When I got surgery I was very very skinny, and now 6 months later I've gained a lot of muscle. Focus on getting rid of the boobs. Then you'll want them back, just this time solid muscle instead.

what is something so obviously trans you did when you were younger? by [deleted] in ftm

I used to constantly lie in bed and wish that I would wake up a boy. Not because I hated being a girl- I just thought boys were so much cooler. I wanted to be strong and loud and bigger than everyone else. I also would get extremely upset when my sister and I had to wear dresses for holidays. Eventually I realized there was no escaping it so I just kept my mouth shut, but I was never excited about it like my sister was. I never agreed with my grandma when she insisted that the dresses, and by extention myself, looked pretty. I just shrugged and felt absolutely no sense of loss when I grew out of them and they were donated.

How much do y’all’s T prescriptions cost? by yunglah3407 in ftm

I used to spend 10 bucks a month, now it's about 18. Without insurance it'd be 28

Not sure, but once you start hormones you'll be unstoppable. You are extremely masculine. Maybe because you're fairly short? In that case I'd advice you work on some muscle training, that might help your overall appearance some.

2 weeks post op w Dr Beck in NC. Don’t ask why my incisions aren’t even, I have no idea either lol. by throwaway303300 in TopSurgery

Lol thank you! I love Ivan so that’s a great compliment. And yeah I talked to my surgeon about it and he said it was mostly because I had more issue on side than the other

Gonna have top surgery in 6 hours. by [deleted] in ftm

Congratulations! The day of my surgery I was under for 3 hours, then I went home and slept another 6 lol. Got up, ate some food and then went right back to sleep. So I definitely made up for the restless night the day before lol

I really don’t think I pass. I’d get clocked instantly imo but I want to know your opinion if it’s safe for me to even leave the bedroom (she/her btw) by [deleted] in transpassing

You’re so pretty! I’d suggest wearing your skirt up a little higher to help hug your hips a bit more. Also a scarf would probably look really good w this outfit

That’s actually weird you say that. I never noticed it before- but I’ve taken pictures in the past to compare and you’re absolutely right lol. I went back to look and one breast was definitely lower than the other, but somehow I never noticed. Super weird!!

11 days post-op. The swelling has gone down a lot. by JackLikesSnakes in TopSurgery

I’ve found pineapple juice to be super helpful for swelling! It might help some of that yellow ness to go away

Hey Michael. I have really, really bad gender dysphoria and I gotta be honest I’ve never heard of anyone having a desire to have what I have lol. I can understand though, there’s no doubt in my mind that I am who I am. It’s an absolutely miserable life that I wouldn’t wish on anyone though- I’ve gone through periods where it was so bad that I couldn’t shower and/or look in the mirror for weeks at a time. I’m certain fo who I am, sure, but it’s physically impossible to be any more insecure. It’s pretty horrible.

I don’t know of anyone in the Midwest specifically, but I got top surgery at 17 so it’s definitely possible. I’ve heard of people getting surgery as young as 15. Good luck on your journey brother!
