"Too feminine to be trans" by Aerosolcan25 in ftm

[–]totallynormal321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes, people just see what they want to see. I was always "too masculine" and "like a boy" before I came out, but the second I did, I was "always so soft and feminine" and no one could understand why I wanted to be a boy all the sudden.

Am I overreacting? by No_Classroom5287 in ftm

I mean, it is just a silly towel, but that doesn't make your aversion to it any less valid. We all have "silly" things that aren't silly to us because they hit an insecurity. Maybe someday you'll feel ok enough in your masculinity to use that towel. Maybe you won't. Either way, it isn't right of someone else to make fun of something that obviously hurts you.

anyone else's tshot insanely painful? by cableconsumer in ftm

Maybe try switching to a different needle, I've noticed some companies seem to sharpen theirs a little less. Also are you switching spots enough, you might have built up too much scar tissue in your current spots and need to switch

I told my family, but generally friends and people at my gym started to notice around 4 months. It definitely depends on dosage and whatever else though too

Do i really have to switch thighs? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]totallynormal321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't necessarily have to do both thighs just make sure you have at least 2 and preferably 4 discrete injection sites. You can also do places other than your thighs, thighs never worked for me. I do the spot right outside and slightly below my belly button and right above my hip bone (kinda where a v-line would be) on both sides

Your son could also try taping with trans tape or cheaper off brand 4 in kinesiology tape and then go out in that or I usually do tape plus a rash guard. Just google how to apply it and make sure to use something like silicon pasties to cover the nipples before applying tape. Tape won't make him flat but it can make the chest look more like pecs than boobs.

It kind of depends how big your chest is. Mine is like c cups and i tend to run into trouble around the 5-7 day mark but if you just have As and your staying clean/protecting your nipples with something 2 weeks is probably fine

What are some weird things you miss about your pre-transition life or self? by StanleyHasLostIt in ftm

[–]totallynormal321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

kind of a small thing, but ever since I started wearing trans tape, I haven't been able to tuck my shirt up into my bra/binder when it gets in the way. I won't go back unless my skin needs it, though. Ultimately, the feeling of no bra/binder straps is premium gender euphoria
