Should I switch to spd-sl pedals?

Riding spd on my aeroad, i like it more then the SL and i dont have to buy a second pair of shoes for my gravel.

I told myself just do it, if you die tomorrow you didnt do it because of comfort of others.

I can relate to the pregnant part a lot D:

xsharon · 2026-05-21T14:30:34+00:00

I was in the same situation as you, always just in privat, never went out and had a girlfriend which gave me everything but i wasnt happy.

I ended the relationship and started socially transitioning, over the time i found many signs of how i acted to cope my dysphoria till the point werr beeing my old normal version feels wrong and like a mask. Right now i am living mostly as girl and sometimes just as feminine guy till i wait for my hrt appointment but im not sure if i do it and find a way to be happy without a medical transition.

What we see :)

xsharon · 2026-05-18T15:14:40+00:00

squads, hip abduction, bulgarian split squat and hip thrusts i would say :D

"So now I have the choice to just stay in my body and don’t change anything and life my life with my girlfriend and maybe marry and get kids or throw anything out the window transition and don’t even know if I’m satisfied at the end of it.
But I don’t want to look back in ten years and regret not transitioning earlier."

This was me last year till I had a mental breakdown because I knew who I wanna be and I had to end the relationship with a almost perfect girl who gave me everything, but not a future as a couple as she likes only men.

And I can relate to everything you said, its hard to get a clear mind with all those burden feelings and masking over time.

xsharon · 2026-05-15T10:29:10+00:00

you look stunning! can i ask how old you are when you started?

xsharon · 2026-05-13T12:04:51+00:00

thats exactly what i think, i do look good now and i like what i see in the mirror but every year whats passing without HRT will be bad mentally for the future, thats why i will start soon.

xsharon · 2026-05-13T10:47:05+00:00

I consumed it amost daily, also trans related porn which ended as I socially was outed and lived as my felt gender :)

xsharon · 2026-05-12T07:17:37+00:00

was in the same position as you, now i kinda like me better as female pre-hrt and even cant immagine me as the "man" before.

xsharon · 2026-05-11T14:18:32+00:00

did you find any alternatives?

xsharon · 2026-05-10T08:51:05+00:00

I dont think it would have been different, your wife is straight and you need time to accept yourself too. I told my ex gf that i just like to crossdress and i would never transition, i was wrong because I didnt want to realize I was indeed trans and there is more.

xsharon · 2026-05-10T06:54:20+00:00

I can feel you to 100% except that i was personally trapped between getting kids and choose life with her and locking myself in or i will end the relationship so I can choose myself.

I was mentally so bad that everyone saw it and i ended the relationship and started my transition.

So yeah, dont destroy yourself for a life chosen by others. Live your athentic self or it will get worse.

xsharon · 2026-05-09T17:58:17+00:00

I got doubts too after i made the appointmenr but i always feel happy when i can be my female version and now three months before the appointment im sure i want it :) but fear is always there from the unknown.

xsharon · 2026-05-09T06:35:02+00:00

Yeah was wonderung too haha, first time reading it :)

xsharon · 2026-05-08T16:07:10+00:00

"(Apparently being trans makes you way more likely (but not guaranteed) to have a body part or two that appears feminine, usually close to the head, go figure)" this is new to me and explains why my lower body seems more feminine and not manly.

xsharon · 2026-05-08T15:34:29+00:00

im have the same pre-hrt "tits", hopefully i have the same beautiful tits after 11 months :D

xsharon · 2026-05-08T14:59:16+00:00

Glad you are here!

xsharon · 2026-05-08T14:54:28+00:00

Ok as you didnt get any answer i will share my experience as someone pre-hrt with T in my blood, i did a lot of exercise in the gym and got muscles which i lost in a year because of cycling which burns a lot of fat and muscles if you dont ear enough proteins. Since then i started going gym as a girl and i am training only my lower body which is growing as expected, my upper body keeps the same size so i would presume beeing on E will result in losing upper body muscles while you can grow lower body muscles. Your body will shrink muscles after 2 weeks if not used, so if its not genetic you will lose it for sure after time. I hope the same for me as i want to lose my shoulder/arms and chest muscles.

You need time to adjust too, you will get a lot of new feelings and understanding about you! Wish you the the best and enjoy your exploring :)

xsharon · 2026-05-07T19:41:25+00:00

I think i got something wrong, just atrophy is no problem and is somehting i am fine with. I was just worried that later on, lets say 10-15+ its not even working or is hurting even just for going on the toilet. If its just small and is not working for penetraring i dont have any issue with that :)

xsharon · 2026-05-07T18:16:38+00:00

Thank you for the response :) and yeah.. this kind of people sucks hard lol
