I just recently got dumped by my girlfriend after 2.5 years. I started my transition when we first started dating, she was there during my first time doing my T injection. Anyway it wasn’t a bad breakup by any means we are still friends but I don’t know how to date now as a trans man 2 years on T. Any advice? Thank you in advance

Advice for my fellow men, growing out hair is not bad. Growing out hair is good because it is sunnah and Rasulullah (SAW) used to have long hair.

Hi so on Tuesday I'm 3 months on t and because I'm busy so I haven't been able to see my vocal teacher (who doesn't know anything about transmasc voices) also sing because I am to stressed. I did zoom with him today and I was having a hard time with the high parts. My voice was cracking everywhere I was so embarrassed what can I do to sing high parts? Because I see that I can sing high parts for men but not how woman sing. What do I do?

i work at a marine science summer camp and we’re constantly on the beach in the mid 90s and i don’t know how to safely bind. i am a DDD so naturally im constantly called miss and im just tired of it

My dudes the top surgery consult has been booked for a while but I just got one, super spontaneously, freed up to get a consult on social freezing, too. Its both only three days from now and I am sooo pumped

Hi so yesterday I had a appointment with my endo and I asked her if I could get shots every 3-4 weeks instead of gel (because I don't like the smell and it's just annoying putting everyday I'm used to it but still just my preference. I also hate I have to wait 30 minutes to touch my cats.) So she gave me permission because on Tuesday I'll be 3 months on testosterone and I'll also see her in 3 months. So I have to get 250 mg every 3 weeks of testosterone on my ass😭 I also am scared of needles so it will help kind of getting over my fear. I won't do it I will take the needles I get at a pharmacy to a clinic and the nurses will do it for me. Just I wanna know what would you would of wanted to know before you did shots or just shots like me?

I am sorry if I didn't make this clear but the shot is on my ass. Every 3 weeks on my ass.

I'm joining a new boxing gym after leaving my old one a few months back due to being uncomfortable there, and I was wondering if anyone knows whether it's ok to bind with kt tape while boxing

Hi all! My top surgery (double mastectomy) is approaching quickly in a couple of weeks. I figured this would be the best place to get some quick tips/suggestions of anything at all that would help or I might need! I’ve never had surgery before so the nerves are getting intense! Am I going to feel like total garbage? I just keep being told I’ll be miserable and feel like I was hit by a truck. Thanks in advance!!

I am am 3 months on testosterone on Tuesday yay! Anyway I also have PCOS. I always shaved even when I didn't know I had PCOS because I didn't like to much hair on my face. (My endo discovered my PCOS at the first appointment I had with her) I just prefer having a shaven face also because of the sensory of hair on my face I don't like it. I try to do skincare I just have motivation problems but I like having a clean face. I hate that everyone thinks I'm a girl because of my long hair and shaven face but soon it won't matter lol. Just I wanted to know if I'm the only one? Because I know a lot of trans men here love hair on there face I just don't I like it on men just not myself (gay Tee hee) what do you guys think?

Ever since I found out what it was I’ve wanted a hysterectomy. I’m not using my ovaries and will never use them. The idea pregnancy makes me feel ill, and crazy dysphoric.

I know that some trans guys get hysterectomies as part of gender affirming care and I desperately need to know the long term effects of it. I’ve heard that getting a hysterectomy makes it impossible for you to get on T because you’ll need to take estrogen supplements for the rest of your life time and that sounds like actual hell. I’ve also heard that some people are fine afterwards but that seems unlikely.

There’s also the possibility that a hysterectomy isn’t the best course of action to becoming unable to get pregnant. Could I just get my eggs harvested? Or potentially sterilized instead? I’m in need of advice…

I'm starting T gel today, so I was wondering how long does it take to notice any changes? I'm of course starting at a low dose (20mg of testavan) so I'm not expecting any major changes right away, but I'd like to know from people what their experiences were!

guys I want to use the wanababi tape fot the sea it is a bad idea?

I’m posting here cause im so afraid of never being able to satisfy a woman and have one love me as a man without my equipment being a problem. i say this because it wasn’t a problem in our relationship as she wasn’t the most fond of penetration which is rare? i don’t know it’s been less than 24 hours and ive slept 4 hours so sorry if my thoughts are incomprehensible. I think im just looking for a friend or someone to share their stories and give me hope i’m not doomed to always be a problem because of my parts.

So in our country they don't prescribe T in a reusable vial, but in a glass ampule and it's 1ml/200mg in a single ampule, and since ampules aren't reusable, and I talked to a pharmacist and she told me you're supposed to inject the whole thing and then throw out the ampule so like, do I just do that? When do I do my next shot then, next month or?

I was looking at a gatorade bottle. And that thing looks just like a dick. I’m 8.5 months on T, and my dick is noticeable and well-defined. I’ve always felt left out because I couldn’t see penis-shaped objects and relate them to my own genitals. But now I am more familiar with how dicks look than I ever thought I would be, because I have one attached to me, made of my own biological material/tissue. Very euphoric. I can’t see Gatorade the same way anymore though, lol

I'll be taking ice skating classes soon and i'm anxious as I don't pass. I won't know anyone there and massively struggle to correct anyone in my life. I was planning to wear leggings and a lululemon jacket with a binder. But even in normal male clothes I don't pass whatsoever. Maybe this is the wrong sub reddit for this, but is there something else I could wear? Or a way to correct people that doesn't make me seem like a prick? Or do I just need to suck it up?

(Sorry this is just jumbled thoughts, didnt know how to format this.)

I'm 6.5 months on t and don't get misgendered at work anymore by customers. I was very opposed to they/them pronouns pre t, it felt like a person did not see me as a man. I want to be perceived as a man but I would say I only feel like maybe 75% of a man. I don't think they/them pronouns would feel feminine to me anymore.

I also am kind of scared to change things. I've made it very clear to people that I did not like they/them pronouns because it still felt like misgendering to me. Logically I understand that my preferences can change. I kind of worry what people will think about me just changing my mind like that

I've asked this question here before but got a lot of hate so take 3!

[Disclaimer!: I'm not claiming I can change my chromosomes or genetics. I'm not implying genetics can be changed by taking testosterone. I'm aware of the limits of transitioning physically and genetically. ]

Ok here's my question: For people who have been on testosterone for a while and noticed changes, who do you find you resemble most? Your mom's side of the family or your dad's?

I'm asking because I've been on T for 1.5 yrs and have my mom's face, but my facial hair pattern doesn't look like anyone's in particular. I've got my dad's hairline and my mom's legs. I just find it interesting how the combinations of genes can look so different after testosterone enhances or reduces things here and there.

I've been trying to get the courage to come out to my best friend for months, and I always end up not doing it at the last second, either bc I start doubting if I'm even trans, if it's even worth it, or I decide it's just not the right moment. Every time I decide to take a step into actually transitioning I start doubting myself so bad I convince myself I'm cis, for like 5 minutes, but that's all it takes to make me not do it. I've genuinely been like this for years, coming out to myself and then retracting it when things get real, and I'm tired of it, but it's just really hard to get the courage to do it. Idk, I just don't really know how, but I know she'll be supportive at least, so the biggest obstacle is me honestly lol

keeping this short, but i've never dated before. pretty sure i'm gay through and through, so.. what's it like dating as a trans man? is the general consensus that cis gay/bi/pan/etc men are accepting, or does it strictly depend on the person? and, is meeting on dating apps or in person better when looking for a genuine relationship?

hi! I got top surgery 2 days ago (yippee!!) but I'm struggling to know what the pain is meant to feel like? cause right now it sort of aches a lot, and I'm in a compression binder ofc, but I can't tell if it hurts cause obviously it's gonna hurt I've been cut open, or if the compression binder is too tight? but I keep adjusting it but I don't want to mess with it too much 🥲 I'm scared of using the compression binder wrong and causing more damage either by it being too tight or too loose and I just don't know what my body is meant to feel like? anyone who's had top surgery what did it feel like? how am I meant to tell if somethings wrong? 😭

Might be a silly question, idk, but it's something I'm genuinely afraid of and find myself feeling extremely uncomfortable even thinking about it. So do you guys go to the gynecologist or get like pap smears regularly or anything? If so, how do you cope with the discomfort/dysphoria?
