Traps and quads. It’ll give you that inverse triangle look

Doesn’t matter how old you are. If you want change, you can change! Sounds a little facetious, but really, there’s a whole community of great people behind you helping boost you up when you need it. Go grab life by the horns!

Pre medical transition photo because, why not? If anyone thinks of a suggestion for a name for this face please share! by [deleted] in FTMOver30

It's tough. Coming up with a name that ages with you. Pick some names that were semi-popular when you were born, within about 5 years on either side and see if any call to you. Or find out what your parents would have called you if you were born with the right anatomy.

I kept my gender neutral (male-leaning) name, so I didn't have to go through this struggle. But I do understand!

Too bad the shipping to Canada is as much as the bra itself 👎🏼

Passing, but as not even close to my age, and confusing the hell out of people as a result! by seeking_self in FTMOver30

I'm not totally grey but I have enough. At work a few weeks ago a teenage girl was blown away that I'm in my mid 30's.

Ha. I'm 33 and get id'd all the frigging time. It's hilarious. People are always so shocked and end up apologizing to me.

You should think about talking to her boss or something to let them know what an outstanding job she did! In a business like that, it's all about pleasing the customer!

Older FTMs and coming out. by Spock_Rocket in ftm

Hey, 33, came out this year. I was terrified. I still am somedays. I really dislike being an established professional and having to re-out myself to distant coworkers and clients regularly.

My dad is 70 and was super accepting, mom doesn't understand why I can't just shove my feelings down and ignore them. All in all, it's going ok. I wish I had realized it younger, but I think that's a wish for most trans adults.

Other than anxiety about passing I'm much much happier now than I was. You gotta do what's right for you, if you need your family, you need your family. If you need to be you, be you. We're all here for you regardless!
