its going to vary greatly between people, but you should check out videos on youtube people will do timeline type videos after they hit thier 1 year or what not. for examply in 19 months on t and def am only seen as male now, but i have very little facial and body hair compared to a buddy of mine who is only about 4 months in and has nearly a full beard alreayd.

Hey, if any guys have any Pre T vs any amount of time on T pictures they’d be willing to share with me so my boy and I can gage how much someone might change over how much time on T, that be great. You can just drop em in my submit or whatever http://spaz94.tumblr.com/

it may depend on your state but…the typical order is social security, dmv, brith cert and all other instutions (banks bills etc)fuckyeahftms:

Hey, I’m Jaeden and I’m going on a Disney Cruise this summer and I don’t really know what do about swimming and just going into the water. Because not swimming isn’t really an option for me. Obviously I’m pre-op and I’m not sure what to wear. I already own a pair of trunks but I was thinking about wearing a sports bra and a wife beater or two. That sound okay? Idk I’m open to suggestions. You can reach me at misterbreckridge.tumblr.com/ask

stubble is always going to look and feel thicker as the ends are sharp. the likely hood that the hair is growing in thicker is relatively small. but shaving pre-t can help in that grown men dont have peach fuzz….

fuckyeahftms:

I started shaving Jan 6. I’ve maybe shaved 4 times and I noticed the other day that I could feel the hair on my upper lip growing in thicker. I’m currently not on any sort of hormones or supplements. I have an appointment Monday and I’m hoping to find out when I can stat T.

I don’t have many trans friends, so I’m always looking for some.

most guys dont talk or look at each other in the bathroom. you just go in do your business and leave….girls are much more chatty in restrooms….plenty of men sit to pee, so dont be afraid of that either. if you want to try stp’ing there are youtube videos on how to make your own using a medicine spoon (thats what i use) you def need to practice at home as it takes time to learn how to relax your muscles to pee standing, and to not have your stp leak and pee all over yourself. good luck

i am ftm pre everything, and i wanted avice on stp devices. i have never used one..and kinda want to start. i use the womens bathroom bcz im to skard to go into the mens

which do you use? and when will i know or feel comfortable with using the mens. im just scared i will walk in there one day and they will see that i dont belong or something. idk and kick me out or call me fag or something. please answer this.

It could go either way….T will increase your appetite so you will want to eat more, the key is eating healthier and working out.  ive known a lot of guys who were heavy pre t and dropped a considerable ammount of weight after starting T, but i have also known guys who have gained weight when starting T. So if you start eating more but arent eating healthy and you arent working out you are going to gain weight. but if you change your diet and work out and not just to gain muscle…..you could lose it.

I’ve followed this blog since the beginning, so I figure this might be the best place I could ask such a question.

I’m a dude who’s very sensitive about his weight and (possible unrelated to my question, but…

i like brownsteins work better (im scheduled with him for DI 11/612) i feel like he contours your chest to your body type, while dr. g seems to do the same exact thing on every person…..but again this is just my opinion…..dr. g is about 3k cheaper than brownstein if money is a major factor for you. both have great results but some are partial to one’s work over the other.

Hey guys I question for you. I’m in the process of scheduling my top surgery for this fall. I was sure I wanted to go to Brownstein in San Franciso but lately I’ve started seeing some good results from Garmone in FL. I wanted to ask for your opinion. Which do you like better? Have you had surgery…

contact transgenderlawcenter.org they have all the paperwork you need to fill out for name change (and will even fill it out for you if you email them and ask). i know a law just passed about gender change in CA but there are still kinks to be worked out about it. you have to go to court to change your name (you do not need to be on hormones or have surgery) just forms filled out stating why the need for the change, you will also need to post in the paper about your name change. at the DMV there is a form that you and your doctor fill out and you can get M on your ID/Drivers license (even without hormones or surgery)….to legally change it on your birth cert and ss i think you still need a SRS letter. if you eventually do have surgery and want to go through the court process again to change your gender on your birth cert and ss i dont think they charge you again….or if they do its a lot less than the first time (cost be about 500 to change everything here in oakland ca last year)

I’ve been on testosterone for 8 months and have had no surgeries. I want to change my name because it’s somewhat awkward looking for a job with a female name. It’s almost the same paperwork, with the addition of a signed note from a doctor, to change you gender.

My question is : do I need to have…

i actually just started a biotin and multivitamin regimen myself (about a week ago) (im 19 months on T and have very little chin and stache growth) nothing compared to most guys *younger* than me…this give me hope! thanks man

fuckyeahftms:

I’ve been on T for about a year and still didn’t see any facial growth. I tried googling for some tips and end up finding some stuff that actually works.

You will need:
1. Biotin (can be purchase at walmart, local stores)
2. Multivitamins or Flintstones

take them everyday along with a good…

even if you are small enough to be considered the doc may recommend one or the other…i have a very small a cup, but brownstein recommended DI due to my skin elasticity and *sag* due to binding and T. while brownstein said he WOULD do keyhole if i wanted he recommended DI.

fuckyeahftms:

I was looking into top surgery and was wondering if anyone could help me out and tell me what the qualifications are for whether you can get keyhole or double incision. What cup size or width you would have to meet to get the keyhole surgery and stuff. any help would be great! thanks guys!
