Hey guys Beck ftm from IL with a binder issue. So i have all the binders I need, but my back gets real sore. Which is no problem except when i stay over at my girlfriends. She says im okay and manly and she loves me. But i feel super uncomfortable and “womanly.” Any ideas that are not too hard on the back or stomach? Sorry this is long but its a big issue with my dysphoria. Thanks bros.
i look super emo today lol, i need a haircut! :P
its always good to have friends in the same situation to talk to, so come say hi! http://motozinezn5.tumblr.com/ask
I met this amazing transman on Omegle and just as I was going to ask them if they had facebook, tumblr, or anything we could keep contact on it disconnected because I lost my net connection due to a storm. I really, really enjoyed speaking with this person and this was the only place I could think of to possibly run into them so I decided to post this.
I myself am a transman and to better help this person find me if they follow this blog we spoke of cosplay, dir en grey, Asagi from the band D, sewing, singing and guitar, the fact we’re both demisexual, and things similar to that. I know the fact I’m going out of my way to find this person may seem creepy, but this is how much I enjoy speaking with this person and I have never had so much in common with someone before.
I can be found at http://kingofthecannibals.tumblr.com
Thank you for your time.
I’m a 13 year old transguy.
I need a binder badly, yet my foster parents arent that supportive. Is there any way I could get a cheap-ish binder?
If you can help, my url is http://pinocchioonprozac.tumblr.com
Thanks!
I tried to take the most unattractive picture possible for this. I think I’ve done it. lmao.
so i’m moving out to bc over the summer and would like to get my transition rolling but i’m unsure as to how to really get started? does anyone know how i would be able to get testosterone? do i need to have spent x amount of time with a therapist? if y’all could leave answers in my ask that’d be awesome.
Max, 18, UK, pre-everything. Forgive my stupid eyebrows, I know it’s dickish, but with my hair like this it’s the only way I have of trying to pass. I’m not out to anyone except two close friends, so until I move out in October Max only exists in private.
This picture is me being chuffed at my binding without a binder.
Come and have a chat here - although it’ll have to be off anon as I’m not out online yet either. Would love to talk to you. I don’t have many people I can talk to IRL.
Hi! I’m Corbin, 22. I thought I’d try posting again, I’m about 3 months on T, and if I knew how to do it I’d be posting vids every other week saying “this is my voice [insert amount of weeks here] on T.” cos my voice is way deep already!
I’m a friendly guy, here for friends and support and to be both of those for anyone who needs it, I’m still kind of figuring out Tumblr, so forgive awkwardly formatted replies!
But, well, hit up my ask anyway!
I have a pair of Underworks compression shorts for sale for $20. I have worn them once for about 3 hours total so they are in excellent condition. Send me an ask if you are interested.
I’ve seen a lot of conversations about subcutaneous T injections. Many people on IM injections have been told or believe that T can only be injected intramuscularly to be effective, and indeed that is how most people inject. However, subcutaneous injections are increasingly being recognized as a safe and effective alternative.
Subcutaneous injections are done with much smaller and shorter needles than IM. They inject testosterone right under the skin, into the fat layer covering your muscles. In IM injections, you use a fairly large needly to deliver the T straight into your muscle. With subcutaneous injections, a small bolus (ball) of testosterone forms and it is gradually released over a period of days or weeks depending on how much you inject.
I first got my prescription from the Mazzoni Center, a leader in LGBT (especially the T ) healthcare. They run the Philly Trans Health Conference. My doctor there explained to me that subcutaneous injections are:
I wish I could find studies to link you all too, but as I’m not a student anymore, I don’t have access to a lot of the scientific databases I used to. However, reading through forums for body builders and cis men with hypogonadism who inject testosterone does show that subcutaneous injections are good for people on low doses of the drug. In general, trans men seem to be on much, much lower doses than cis body builders and comparable doses to cis men with hypogonadism.
So, if you’re comfortable with doing IM injections, keep on trucking. But don’t tell anyone else that their injection method if prescribed by a doctor is wrong or ineffective. I’ve been on 50 mg/week of subcutaneous testosterone for over seven months now and have experienced all the effects you’d expect even at this low dose. [Check out my YouTube channel if you’re curious!] If you’re experiencing problems with IM injections, you may want to consider talking to your doctor about switching to subcutaneous ones. Tell them that they can contact the Mazzoni Center if they are apprehensive about switching your treatment plan.
Interestingly, when looking for studies to link you all to, I came across studies on a variety of different testosterone treatment options for cis men. It seems trans men have been stuck in the 70’s with regards to what we use. I have only heard of trans men using IM injection, subcutaneous injection, and androgel to transition, but these are not the only options. Cis men who need to increase their testosterone for whatever reasons are using transdermal patches, pellets surgically placed under the skin that gradually release T, oral testosterone, and testosterone undecanoate injections which only need to be done a few times a year. Here is a summary of their effectiveness. Imagine how much easier transition would be if modern clinical medicine actually gave a crap about trans people!
I haven’t posted here before! So I will just say hey first!
My name is Tyron, and I live in Ireland!!! Come say Hi any time :) http://www.tumblr.com/blog/tythetransman
Anywho, I thought I would shake things up and show you what I have for this thursday… instead of Testosterone, I have my first Blocker injection! Looking forward to starting T in 3months.
Have a good day now :)
-Tyron!
Hello, tis an Embry again.
Just checking in as I haven’t for a while. I have now done six weeks of my video blog thing which is pretty good going for me! I feel majorly shite at the moment and think that I might have sunstroke or something. I’m on anti biotics for a chest infection and am taking neurofen so I’m pretty drugged up.
Have a link and a picture of my face.
