13 days till T!

So exciting! My name got approved and today I got a notice about my appointment for HRT. It’s later in November and I just can’t wait. To be honest I’m also a bit nervous. It’s funny how you get used to waiting for this things and it always feels that they are in some distant future. And then suddenly it’s getting real.

How is it going for you?

So I get asked all the time how I bind with KT tape– which I do pretty regularly.

I cut the strips in half and as you can see they hardly wrap around my ribs at all, and due to the type of tape it is it’s very safe (only real risk is to your skin/nipples due to the adhesive… And your bloodflow to your nipples can decrease over time).* KT tape is thin, flexible, and is meant to increase bloodflow and be worn by athletes for long stretches.

Taping lasts several days for me (even through swimming and showering)– and in the Texas heat this open chest binding is often preferable to other binders for me.

Keep in mind– this WILL NOT flatten you like a binder will unless you have a VERY SMALL chest. My chest is maybe a AA Cup, and is very muscular so this works well for me, and I’m only showing this because I get so many questions about it. Additionally– 1 roll of KT tape is $10-15 depending where you buy it (you can get it at drug stores, target, Amazon, etc), so 3 rolls will cost you the same as a binder would.

If you’re going to use tape, take it off once it starts to peel, and take it off in the shower or with water. Also you can put tissue over your nipples if you need. ((Please don’t follow my lead if this is not going to work for you, but this is my attempt to make sure people tape safely if they’re going to because I’ve done my research and talked to doctors and trainers for their opinions on taping your chest and I’ve seen people attempting to tape with KT tape and using it like an ace bandage wrapped all the way around their ribs which can be VERY DANGEROUS)). *These risks can cause healing post top surgery to have complications.

What is it that cis people can call each other with what ever crazy ass nicknames with no problem but when a trans person wants to be called with a chosen name people suddenly start asking for IDs?

[fransisacountryboy]

It’s not voluntary to call me by my chosen name.

Stills from A Year In Transition, which follows a transgender man throughout one year of his life, including hormone replacement therapy and top surgery.

The documentary was filmed by a gay trans man named Lorne Clarkson, stars Issa Ismail as the protagonist, and features numerous other trans men discussing their experiences with transitioning. I’ve never before seen a documentary that so closely follows the struggles, complications, and nuances of FTM experiences.

I have so much affection for all of my trans brothers. I feel your struggles and your pride so deeply, and I wish I could hug every single one of you. Your masculinity is so beautiful. Your transgender manhood is admirable, strong, and unique. I love you all so much. You deserve to see yourselves represented onscreen, you deserve to see wholesome masculinity viewed with positivity and acceptance.

Love yourselves as men. Your masculinity is not toxic, and you are beautiful. I have a bunch of FTM recommendations you can check out if you want to see more trans male representation <3. Have a good day, my brothers. Please enjoy this documentary and know you are loved.

I have this very strange thing that white pasta makes my stomach hurt but whole wheat is just fine 🤔

[fransisacountryboy]

Ugh, I’m about to tell my parents about my gender identity and I’m about to puke. So stressfull!

I know that I have to tell them but I’m not ready nor do I have energy to go through the conversation that will follow. But I really want to tell them very soon if not now because this thing is sucking all of my energy. I also want to start being more authenric and change my social media handles etc.

I’m gonna try and stick with this beginner fitness plan. If anyone has any suggestions for something else that’s better please let me know. I wanna be strong and fit and if it’ll help me pass as masculine then that’s just a plus
