Top surgery
Top surgery coming up in the next month or two, planning on cutting down my routines to get into the gym more and hammering chest/abs. Any workouts/exercises/stretches people consider essential pre-surgery?
EDIT: I am already fit and at my desired body shape I am fully aware a month will not do anything guys it’s to maintain my level of muscle there and keep it trim rather than slacking right beforehand 👍

STP Advice?
Anyone got any help with using realistic packer (full shaft) STP’s? Main concern is piss left ‘inside’ the shaft or balls once I’m done, not sure if that’s a realistic issue or not but don’t want to go around stinking.

On this sub as a non trans man
For the love of god stop with the fucking faux positivity hype posts when the real body of the text is that you find us sexy and objectifying. It’s nice to hear a compliment from a non trans man every once in a while because yeah, that’s the point of passing, but can you not grasp how condescending it is to be told to cheer up because in a sub full of crippling dysphoria posts and teenagers you could be fucked by a rando? If you want to be nice then just leave a sweet, non detailed post and please recognise you are not the first non trans man person to put the sentiment on this sub, there’s no need to draw an extremely hasty line in the sand by opening with your identity (I’m actually a cis man with a dick and balls, unlike you guys)

Fupa hell
Has anyone had ANY luck getting rid of pouch/gut fat in the lower stomach/fupa area ? I know weight loss can’t be targeted but it’s definitively targeting itself, it fluctuates between a very small roid/beer gut that makes it embarrassing to wear t-shirts and a completely flat stomach anywhere between three days to three weeks. The short time frame makes me think it might be water weight / a bloating issue but I’ve never seemed to have issues with that before and it flares up the most when I’ve drunk alcohol which seems like it’s a binge calorie problem.
I have a body fat % on the lower end and visible anterior muscles / flexed abs which makes it even more frustrating as I have no need or desire to cut, instead looking to bulk.

Haircut clarification
A lot of people seem to be asking for haircut advice in this sub and either having no starting point or getting it cut and coming back with results that are identical minus a few inches in length. I thought I’d throw up a few pics of examples being thrown around in the sub without being clarified, obv these apply mainly to white trans men and have a uk slant but details can apply to most groups. Anytime you hear ‘modern mullet’ or ‘men’s mullet’ most people are referring to the burst fade in the first pic, in comparison to the mullet a lot of trans guys seem to be getting and not liking these tend to be exclusively done by barbers and actually lose weight at the back with the focus on the fade and not the typical on grade undercut for most mullets. The other pics are known interchangeably as low fade, taper fade and low drop fade with 3/4/5 faded down to a .5 and 6 faded down to skin. A drop fade will feature a lot of weight at the back which immediately counteracts any chance of a pixie cut, whereas a taper fade will focus exclusively round the ears and temple. It’s the details like the tapering that masculinise shaggier haircuts as they’re standard for most men’s barbers unless you specifically request otherwise / exclusively a scissor cut, without them you’re either seen as going for a longer cut or not having gone to a barber.
At the end of the day getting a minor touch up such as a taper fade is what balances out haircuts that get ripped as clockier in this sub, just stay away from high skin unless you’re very confident in not coming across as butch. Don’t go to a salon or a ‘gender neutral’ hairdressers, even queer places can fuck your shit up if they’re used to androgyny and style over a guy that just wants to give you the same cut he’s given the past six guys in the chair. Finally every man featured is using some kind of styling product in his hair, powder is the easiest but cream and clay also work (salt spray lowkey a scam). 3 and 4 both have texture cut into their hair which is CRUCIAL if you want to the longer, spiked look right now without going for womens layers or completely flat dead hair, you can simply as the barber for a textured top or textured fringe and it’s done with scissors.

Body fat % and top surgery
I’m planning on having keyhole surgery in September but was considering a lean bulk this summer, going from 72kg lean to -> maximum 80kg if possible (more realistically 75-77) and cutting my body fat % down to absolutely healthy minimum for abs. I know most surgeons prefer skinny and low body fat but is cutting too much body fat out actually a negative ? And should I just focus on staying lower weight until my surgery and bulking afterwards ? Or if it’s just healthier weight does it matter?
