[18] vs [23] Actually

Being trans taught me something hard: I can't control how people see me. There are people who will never understand me, others who will not even try. And although that hurts, I also understood that living trying to fit into the comfort of others ends up destroying you inside.

I left places where I couldn't be me. I lost support, friendships, stability and many times I felt afraid of the future. But I never lost my dreams. And honestly, that's what saved me.

Change is scary. Changing hurts. Starting from scratch hurts. But staying in a life where you feel dead inside hurts even more.

Today I don't have everything solved, but I live calmer, freer and closer to the person I always wanted to be. And if someone who reads this is going through a moment where he feels that pursuing his dreams is going to cost him too much, I want to tell you something:

Sometimes growing up means disappointing other people's expectations so as not to continue abandoning yourself.

Why these glute exercises actually work (from a trans girl perspective 🍑**)**

Hip Thrust: Targets the glute max directly, which is the main muscle for size and projection. This is what gives that lifted, round “pop” from the side.

Squats: Build overall lower body strength, but going deep increases glute activation. Helps create a balanced look so the glutes don’t look out of proportion.

Deadlifts: Stretch + load the glutes at the same time, which is key for growth. Especially good for building the lower part of the glutes and making them look fuller.

Hip Abductions (bands/machine): Hit the glute med (side glutes), which adds width to your hips and helps create that curvier, hourglass shape.

Nutrition matters too:

Drink plenty of water and prioritize protein intake. Protein is the building block of muscle, so if you want bigger glutes, your diet has to support muscle growth—not just your workouts.

Consistency + progressive overload is what actually makes the difference.
