I’ve waited for this since I was 12 years old now I’m a college freshman going through the correct puberty living the dream🥹🥹

i’m assuming this is normal they were fine yesterday but i believe the ‘ nexroform petroleum non adhering dressing had some play into this , it’s just freaking me out a bit 🫩

Hello! I’m Cameron :D. I’m 21 and I’m looking for other friends in New Jersey :). I don’t really have any irl ppl I vibe with, so I’d love to have a friend or even a small friend group 🙏🏾🏳️‍⚧️🥹

15 pre t. I don't feel like I have a bright future. My face kinda looks fat. No masculinity in sight. Everytime I look at myself, I start to cry. I can barely do anything cuz of how my mom is. Is there any tips I can do whenever I can? Or just any motivation? I feel hopeless

Thank you to all the guys in this sub for your tips on my earlier post, I’ve applied some of them (like darkening my eyebrows) and feeling very happy so far :) any more passing tips yall want to leave are very welcome!

i’m scared but ready for some facial hair and a deeper voice and to be the man i’ve been wanting to be since i was 5. i’m about to be 40 next month and feel like it’s about time fr. any tips on taking the next steps?? its hard finding other trans mascs, even in a big city and so much love to yall!

finally got to shower today as well , officially 10 days post op

pls dont mind my hair , i cut off the majority of my length impulsively and im getting clippers soon to fix it. im 17 if that helps

The first month of recovery was the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through. But since the 6-7 (no pun intended lmao) week mark, things have been absolutely amazing. My arm feels good, my mobility is improving, and my new member is everything I could’ve wished for!

I've tried to maintain being consistent in the gym. My primary focus has been developing the muscles that a surgeon would be sculpting my skin around. Today, I actually got to see a glimpse of that work post off.

Working out has truly been a space of meditation abscess feeling present in my body. I've truly needed that space. Life has gotten so difficult.

Also finally starting to accept my natural hair more as it grows out🥳

I'm new to Reddit. And just joined this group. So, I'd thought it would be fitting to introduce myself. I'm 51 year old transman (started my transition in 2008), and I was born and raised in the Hampton Road, VA. I currently reside in Massachusetts with my beloved and our cat. I'm excited to be on a new journey career-wise. I will be starting culinary school next month. I can't wait to hop into my chef whites and be in the kitchen. I created a zine on African American and African diasporic foodways. Some of my other interest as painting, reading, and ceramics.

Would love to connect with folks over books, recipes, etc.

I do .3 subq. I’ve been on T for 9 weeks and cycling between my stomach and my thighs. I don’t bruise and I rarely even bleed after my shots (the little dot in the pic is genuinely the most visible injection site I’ve ever had). And as y’all can see, I have no dark marks where the needle actually went in.

I’ve been getting hyperpigmentation essentially where the oil spreads under my skin (it’s kinda cool because I can see it spread as I’m pushing). I’ve got no clue what to do about it though. It’s a bit irritating that most of the shots I’ve done are visible and not fading. They’re much more visible in person than in photos as my camera generally makes me look a lot more pale than I am irl (I’m mixed). Any of y’all have advice?

I’ve been working out for two weeks too and continuing! Hopefully my hard work will make me look more masc and I can eventually go bra-less w/o looking like I got chest water balloons. Can’t go on t yet btw (possibly ever because of personal medical issues) so I’m doing the best I can! Yall are free to give advice ✌🏾

Pics are in order from new to old
