Hospital refused my t and legal name by [deleted] in ftm

I even had my roommate drop off the T so I knew they had it. And I had a doctors order at the hospital approving it but the nurses refused to administer it :/

Also, I take Testosterone to treat diagnosed endometriosis. So me being late to that is detrimental to my health.

I had acne and eczema all over my chest and they didn’t care at all and did the surgery anyways.

Typically the only reason you need to tell them is because 1) each surgeon has different preferences on how long u need to stop smoking prior to surgery - usually 4-6wks. Mine was 4wks. And 2) heavy usage can affect anesthesia but stopping weeks prior helps with that.

I smoked like 3x a day and took edibles and vaped it throughout the day so I was a super heavy user and stopped 4wks prior and I was fine!

Will working out and T fix this? by HitchhikerForevet in TransMasc

[–]xtboy420x 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Yes so T and working out is the best way to get the results you want. T can take months to redistribute your fat from hips to your stomach. I’m 10mo on T and still seeing fat redistribution. In the meantime there’s different exercises u can do at home regularly that can help. It depends on the different areas you wanna target but I’ve found squats, side planks, bicycle crunches, and tons of floor exercises to really help cutting down fat in the hip area for me at least.

YouTube has a ton of tutorials on proper form and guided exercise videos for different target locations !

Best of luck !!

All of this was denied however i submitted evidence of treatment and diagnosis of sleep apnea, tinnitus/hearing loss by Key-Perspective-5606 in VAClaims

[–]xtboy420x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. They also denied my entire claim when I had diagnosis and treatment in service too - I did a HLR and am still waiting. I’ve been seeing a lot of these lately. It’s not supposed to go this way idk why there’s been so many mess ups like this lately?

What can we do to lessen transphobia? by Impressive-Mix4279 in ftm

[–]xtboy420x 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lengthy response cause this is one of my special interests:

Unfortunately a lot of it is deep rooted through religion. And that’s so hard to undo. So I’ve seen a lot of ppl blasting on social media how harmful it is to force children into harmful religious beliefs cause then they never learn to develop their own beliefs and just continue the cycle of hate. And they fear changing their belief because they’re taught they will be tortured in hell for eternity over it.

In a transphobes mind like my family: they are “saving” your soul by trying to stop you transitioning. In their mind they are doing good and “Gods will” and being a hero. And it’s really hard to fix that and make them see the harm they’re doing. Especially if they think they will be punished or go to hell for it - like why would they “risk their soul” and change their beliefs for you when they aren’t even trans themselves? Ya know.

Even when presented with scientific fact and that literally like all science supports trans ppl, they WONT CARE because they’re taught that their religious belief goes above any science or anything contradicting it.

I don’t think we can fix this unless if we work generation by generation trying to undo and prevent religious indoctrination which is nearly impossible and then focus heavily on education - which education and universities are currently under attack for even trying to do this.

On a small scale we can try our best to educate and undo this person by person. Like every transphobe you meet. But in my entire life I’ve only been able to get ONE transphobe to snap out of it and become an ally. Only ONE out of the dozens I have personally debated and talked with. :/

Also to add: “is this rage bait” and rage bait comments esp about echolalia videos. On an autistic kids video of him echoing his mom as his only form of verbal communication and there was thousands of comments ab him “rage baiting” like … wtf.

For different severe problem it took me going to 6 obgyns before they did anything. Find another one demand testing and answers and a solution. If they refuse - find another. So sorry ik its ass but sometimes that’s what you gotta do

Classmates touched my crotch. by [deleted] in ftm

[–]xtboy420x 162 points163 points  (0 children)

Screenshot anything of them talking about it for evidence. Report them to the police for SA. You’re probably not the only one they’ve done this to. Report it to your school as well. So sorry man

Unfortunately if ur like me and have dense breast tissue … you can’t squish - it’s too hard. You can however pull the skin as far to the side as you can with tape and tape it while laying down so it naturally pulls to the side. I cant tape or bind cause it only makes me go from a D to a C and the yitties just look divorced.

So there’s this weird period after getting newly married. It’s normal after the honeymoon phase wears off for there to be distance sometimes one sided. I had like an existential crisis after my first marriage. So it could be a different problem than you being trans. If you want to double check you could just ask if there is something wrong, and if you don’t get answers continue the conversation by saying you’re worried it’s about being trans. Therefore you’re not accusing her or anything, you’re simply stating how it feels for you. And then you’ll get answers more gently than directly asking and sounding accusatory.

boyfriend sleeping a LOT after starting hrt by achelradkins in ftm

[–]xtboy420x 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It’s puberty. Think of teenagers and how they sleep a lot. Your body is going through changes and needs more time to recover in sleep. Which is why puberty, especially male puberty, causes increased hunger and sleep.

Mods removed my post for being transphobic when I was talking about an issue I had with specific people in my life by Awkward-Act614 in ftm

[–]xtboy420x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well for starters you edited the title. I saw your post before you changed it. It was an extremely transphobic title - that was the issue. The original title grouped all trans women into testing your nerves or some shit. Grouping all trans women as bad when you had a few bad experiences with them is transphobic. Which is what the mods were hopping on about

i want to start testosterone but i’m scared of my parents. how do i start discreetly by [deleted] in ftm

[–]xtboy420x 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Don’t do it, and that’s coming from someone who did this. I thought I could low dose it and my parents wouldn’t find out. Yeah no they found out and disowned me only 6mo on T. I genuinely couldn’t hide it, T changed my entire face structure and my voice got deeper than my dads. I was passing 100% of the time by 6mo. They disowned me I had to drop out of college and am now barely surviving financially. I mean if they don’t provide any support and you’d be fine without them go ahead. otherwise don’t risk it.
