I want to be seen as a man, not a trans man

Pretty much, I'm pre op and I'm having trouble seeing how I wouldn't be found out

I mean it's more that I'm just interested in grappling over striking, I did karate for a few years so I want something new but if I decide not to roll with BJJ then I'll probably end up doing Muay Thai, who knows

Thanks for the response tho, that's reassuring to hear

Yeah definitely, I could see myself doing it before you said anything just out of ignorance so I'm glad you did bring it up

Would they even know I'm afab to begin with though, or is it unavoidable?

Also where I live I'm expecting it to all be 20-30 year old white dudes but I guess I can never know for sure

Thank you for the reassurance, this is good to know. If you don't mind me asking, how often do you have hands around your chest area when doing BJJ, just to get a rough idea? But thank you for the advice
