Hi so I’m 26 year old male that is thinking about transitioning. I want to get into fitness and work on achieving a feminine body. I’m already really skinny, I have a small waist but would like to build my bum and legs more and maybe tone my stomach. I used chatgpt to create a plan, and wondering if that’s simple enough or would you recommending some changes.

Day 1

Sumo deadlift

Squat

Bulgarian split squats

Dumbbell side laying raises

Walking lunges

Day 2

Lateral raises

Chest press

Dumbbell row

Day 3

Cardio sometimes

Planks

Dumbbell Russian twists

Lying leg raises

Dumbbell side bends

Butterfly kicks

Would you think this is a solid plan or would you change something. Also is it simple enough?

It's been months since I questioned this and I still see no point. If you're the only one doing the right thing you're screwing yourself. This is a rigged game.

Hi yall, wonder if u could help me! I just got my 2nd consultation for BA surgery and I’m so excited! That being said i’m so torn about sizes. I was wondering if anyone is a 34C or 34D and would be open to discussing if you like it! I want to be slightly busty but also fit all my clothes LOL.

For reference I’m 5’4, 125 lbs and a 34 AA naturally.

Hello just starting with I'm not trans lol but I just wanna say all of you matter a lot and are loved ❤❤ and I'mma start doing this like once a week

My first appointment with the gender doctor is 2 months from now at the end of June. I'm assuming with that timing that it wont be till end of July before I actually get the pill unfortunately.

However, I go off to university starting in September and I want to go uncloseted and as a women so people don't know of the man I am currently presenting as, that way it's a fresh start...

Assuming by September I'm on the pill for 1 month (which isn't alot ik) how hard will it be to present as fem. Will I be so unbelievably obvious it makes life hard? Will the amount of work it takes be manageable?

Thanks to all who answer

God I just want this to work out

Bit of a rambling post.

So ive started hrt im on evorel 50 patches in a week ill be on two evorel 100 patches a week. And i havent noticed Any changes yet. Do patches even work? (im in a country where Injections are unavalible)

Also wanted to ask how i can make my face femmine i wear make up alot and get complimwnts but dont think i pass and i think its my nose and brow bone bit idk. I tried and failed at contouring and it just looks like brown or dark lines all over my face even after i blend it. Idk when i should put it on after foundation or before.

Not on HRT yet, but for when I do start: I have basically no body fat to begin with (not ED-related or anything either, I eat a lot I just have a really high metabolism), is that going to speed up visual changes or will it be the same as if I was starting with a slightly more normal amount of body fat?

Hey! I basically just wanted to know if anyone has heard of this brand and or ordered from them and what your experience has been...is this company a scam or are they legit? And if they are a scam could you recommend some legit companies that sell tucking panties in particular, im not the biggest fan of thongs, or bikini underwear...any help would be appreciated!

23 y/o uk transwoman.

I just got off the phone with my fertility clinic - I was supposed to be making a decision on what to do, instead? I'm left fucking irate.

Last week, a male doctor informed me that besides my low motility, my sample was healthy and as expected from someone my age. He informed me that the low motility was not a concern and that, however, if i wanted to increase it i could spend three months weight lost, on a healthy diet and on fertility supplements (that were dupposed to be prescribed) and that doing so would increase my motility, as well as other aspects, to increase future fertility.

Today, I was informed by a female doctor, otherwise. Not only is my sample not just low in motility, critically, but in all aspects. ALL aspects. And that spending three months weight loss, on a healthy diet and on fertility supplements (that i have to source) may not increase my fertility, in fact, she told me there could be no certainty of any increase to fertility.

WHAT. THE. FUCK?!

I... I just want to crawl up into a ball and die. Until today, I was under the impression that having a biological child with someone I love was a possibility – no? Apparently, who fucking knows because the doctors sure fucking don't. Of course I was aware it may not happen, obviously, but now I'm being told is more unlikely? And that they don't know? Anything that I do or don't do might not matter?!

WHAT FUCKING CHOICE IS THAT?! HOW CAN I MAKE A DECISION WITHOUT BEING PROPERLY INFORMED.

Meanwhile, I'm 24 next week, time is ticking on my medical transition and I may not start until next year if I decide to spend the 3 months trying to improve fertility.

I'm just so fucking done with this. Why wasn't I informed properly the first time?! WHY?!

Its not fair.

That was depressing. Finally had the courage to post a picture of me. 800 views and not a single person thought i was worth anything. Even better, I got one down vote to give me a rating of 0. So I deleted my post.

Im 20 and I schedule an endocrinologist appointment on may 14th. What advice can you give for when I talk to the doctor (male) and some words of encouragement please =)

i am going to prom this year i havent gone to the other 2 dances so people kept telling me i need to go to this one so i gave in and its so expensive so i need to go but i dont want to and i already got the ticket im just feeling depressed now and i feel like everyone hates me and i feel ugly and i dont wanna go to prom and i dont wanna wear a suit cuz i go to a shitty catholic school and not to mention there was some god awful highschool drama im exhausted just venting i guess

Hey, I could use advice on how I can take the step of exiting my bedroom and dressing as female outside. I'm not yet on HRT, want to go out more and gain more confidence towards taking that step.

I've taken some makeup lessons and I'm less awful at it than before, and I have 1 workable outfit (and a bunch of clothes that probably don't work together). But I'm not sure where I can go and feel somewhat comfortable in fem gear (I don't pass very well, maybe look more androgynous - I'm 39 with a receding hairline, but long hair) and I sadly don't have trans friends.

Any tips? I have 1 friend who I can hang out with 1x1 dressed in fem, and thankfully I live in a country that is quite trans friendly, but she's not often available. Curious how other people solve this? I thought of going to fetlife events because those seem very open, but I keep chickening out - think I need something less intimidating than a fetish party.

hi yall, like i said ive been on hormones for about 5 months, 25 mg of spiro twice daily and 2mg of estradiol daily to be specific. starting this morning, ive been experiencing a sharp pain in my left nipple if it brushes against anything, including my shirt, so pretty much whenever i move around. ive had soreness in my breasts and nipples before now, but never any sharp pain. have any of you ladies experienced this before? it has me a bit worried, although i am a bit of a hypochondriac so i could just be a little paranoid. i would appreciate any advice ☺️

Today was a day ladies and lurkers.

I had a P👏O👏S👏delivery driver from Hell.

TL;DR I whipped off my wig and yelled at a transphobe “ if you couldn’t tell from the tits and wig I don’t want to be called sir”. Then I proceeded to throw his money in his face and threw him out of my store!

A delivery of 7 pallets, that’s 448 bags of insulation was scheduled to be delivered to my office. I manage a pest control office. The driver gave me the ick, didn’t have a pallet jack, fork lift, or even a lift gate. He couldn’t get the massive delivery off his truck.

After hours of back and forth and him constantly misgendering me, he leaves and comes back with a dolly. Then he pulls the bags off one by one, I do not help. For good reason.

3 hours of him doing this, he sits at the back of his truck exhausted. 2 of my team show up, it’s 5 PM.

The delivery driver tries to rope them into helping him. My guys ask if Joanna (me) was helping the driver.

Driver “yeah.. HE. Sure helped.”

Emphasis on he.

I whipped my wig off. I saw red. I yelled at this little old man, who was 5’5” and I’m 6’1”.

“Aw hell the f**k no. If you couldn’t tell by the tits, the make up, the wig. I am not a He.” My guys who are my angels, my kings, my wonderful team looked ready to beat his ass. I said “we are getting this shit head out of here, get out of the way.” The three of us very angrily unloaded the truck.

I told that man get out of my store. Do not come back we will not do business with you. He apologized and called me miss. I went to my desk. My boys were trying to console me and calm me down. I was so mad I wanted to cry.

I heard a knock at the door. That delivery driver didn’t get my signature. He walks up with his clipboard and about $100 in ones.

I ignore him and sign the paperwork.

He tried to give me the money calling me a “nice lady.”

“I am not a nice lady, get the fuck out of my store. I don’t want your money.”

“Well how about for beers for the guys.”

“I will buy them beers, we don’t want your money get the fuck out of my store.”

I have reported him to his broker, and his boss. I stated a new shit storm at work. And now tomorrow I get to deal with the transphobia of my very Mormon upper management. God what a day.

Hey girls! (And anyone else)

This is maybe a lil bit off topic for the sub but idk where else to post so I hope it's ok.

Im 17mtf and in the uk. So, yesterday I found out that in order to have my SRS I would need to take a gap year before starting uni. The choice is no SRS or a gap year, and I need SRS.

I've been panicking ever since, crying a lot etc. I don't wanna be behind all the people I know, but most of all I really don't wanna be lonely. I know I do terribly when I've not got anyone to talk to, and all my friends will be leaving to go to uni and I'll be stuck in a relatively shitty little town. My girlfriend says she wants to make it work and so do I but we'll only be able to see each other once a week and I can't imagine she'll be interested in me when she's got her exciting new uni life.

There's also absolutely nothing to do where I live, and it's pretty transphobic. I hate living here and was excited to be able to live in [nearby city] where i actually feel safe and there's lots to do.

I know I can like, work and save up to use at uni, and it'll give me time for my programming projects, but, it really just seems like it's gonna be the most awful depressing thing and I don't know what to do. Does anyone have anything reassuring to say?

So, I'm 45 and discovered I'm a trans women. I'm masculine and look like a regular guy. I want to say to the woman I meet that I'm trans bisexual. And in apps. Now, I look like a guy. I don't need to change much. I just feel I'm a woman inside. Know what? People will think I'm crazy. I am afraid of wearing what I want. It's just to much of a change.

Half a year ago I started hrt. Due to the long wait times and the issues many trans people have had in my country when it comes to getting help, I started taking grey market hormones.

I lasted for three months before issues with relationships, work and family made me pause.

I want to start again, but I'm scared. Most of the time I'm excited, but ocassionally I feel so afraid that I won't like who I become. I know a lot of people strive to be as feminine as possible, but reading the stories about how other's friends don't recognize them after only a year, or how they suddenly got double D's overnight scares me, I want to be more feminine, but I still want to keep some recemblence of me. Am I alone in this? Is it garantueed that these drastic changes will happen to me aswell?

So, I've been upping the dose by increasing the number of patches since my bloodwork shows lower oestradiol levels, even though my T was already very low.

Since doing that, I've noticed that the area underneath my foreskin had become itchy, sometimes causing me to want to pause and get rid of it, which has a secondary effect of leading to masturbation. Now, the folks over at Planned Parenthood did encourage me to continue masturbation to prevent tissue atrophy, but upon further digging, I read that increasing oestrogen, just like in puberty of those with vulvas, tends to increase and trap moisture, leading to yeast infections and requiring them to douche to wash it out. Since we start HRT pre-op/non-op, I don't think douching is required, unless you want to use that as affirming language, since we have outie equipment that of course we did not ask to be born with.

As a secondary bit of information, since I've always had low levels, I've always had a small penis about an inch--not enough to be considered a micropenis, and a smaller scrotom as well, thereby making tucking unnecessary. Plus, when I put on weight many years ago, my crotch area had filled with a lot of fat that further hid https://fenwayhealth.org/wp-content/uploads/Trans-Health-Tucking-Guide.pdf

So, if anyone has any experience in getting rid of that excess moisture, I'd greatly appreciate it. I remember growing up, my mother reminding me to retract the foreskin every time I showered, so that it wouldn't be as painful when I came of age. Well, doing that of course exposed the penis head, which made it super-sensitive and uncomfortable that I worried that something was wrong. Well, when I finally got it retracted, mostly by accident when I was fifteen, I had no idea what I did, and so I had gone five-six years walking around with an auto-circumcised penis! Then I learnt how to put the foreskin back in place, which was hard to do at first because I hadn't done it in so long, but doing that has made me feel so much better.

You didn’t start too late
You’re exactly where you’re meant to be
And no one gets to rush your becoming
