How long did your swelling last post op? Did you do anything to help get rid of it? Your chest looks great too BTW keep up the hard work in the gym bud!

You can't really accelerate the healing process in any other way than being careful with yourself, taking it easy and getting plenty of vitamins. The swelling noticeably went down over the course of a few weeks, just be patient. Thanks mate.

Hey, I’ll be having top surgery with Dr Kneeshaw too but it’s really difficult to find results online. Yours are incredible, though I can understand why you wouldn’t want any “before” pictures on the internet. To avoid being invasive, would it be possible for you to find a photo of someone with a similar chest size to what you had previously? I’m interested to see whether or not I’d qualify for peri prior to my consultation! Cheers man

Come off anon and I will help you privately.

Thanks izak and anon, I'm just full of idk doubt and anxiety rn. I wish I had the courage to do it like you guys

Ha it was kinda life or death for me. What's the point in living a life that isn't even yours?

"unless I do leg lengthening surgery I'm going to get a ton of shit that might not be worth it when I'm the perfect girl size/height so why would I trade that for a not good guy size" Anon needs to find a less shit community, that's such a dumb "reason" to not transition, who even says that? It's like saying "hey lmao ik ur suffering from dysphoria but ud make an ugly boy so just stay a girl ok? uwu~". I'm 4'10, post transition. Don't sweat height, you get past it. Many cis guys my height too.

💪🏻

Continuation. Also cos my gf of 5 years dumped me cos she couldn't stand the fact I'd be a guy and MUCH smaller than her like feet, chest, hands, length wise. Idk I feel like if I do it I'll be this mini man wannabe freak idk I'm at such a low

Well your girlfriend may have found it difficult if she wasn't attracted to males... Honestly, there's people out their with growth disorders, with missing or deformed limbs..... Being a bit on the small side is all good dude, you're you, embrace it.

Thanks Izak, I'm really scared to transition cos lots of guys say unless I do leg lengthening surgery I'm going to get a ton of shit that might not be worth it when I'm the perfect girl size/height so why would I trade that for a not good guy size

Ha dude, firstly, there's no "perfect height" for any gender.. That's preference and opinion. Secondly, "why trade that for a not good guy size"... why trade unhappiness for happiness???????? BECAUSE IT MAKES SENSE DOESN'T IT I know some cis guys who are a few inches smaller than me, that are fucking GORGEOUS and get a lot of attention! Height doesn't make a fucking difference man, you're unique, and people will appreciate that.

How much do over 18s have to pay for NHS appointments, therapy and prescriptions. My household income is below 18k a year.

You get it all covered by the NHS. I assume it's standard prescription charge unless you can bypass it, which is about £9 I think?

I'm a 5'3 ftm trans Asian with a small body frame. Will I ever be able to get a good muscular frame without looking stubby?

I'm only 5'5/6 myself! Just keep yourself lean, gain muscle but keep your body fat on the low side to stop yourself from the "stubby" look!

PHALLOPLASTY HELP

I'm currently 17-18 months on testosterone, and I've realised after much consideration that I would feel much more complete, comfortable and confident if I undergo lower surgery. I am wanting to have ALT phalloplasty, as aesthetically upper body scarring is a major issue for me, and discretion of scarring of the thigh would be much easier. I am from the UK, and I would be able to get this service from the NHS most likely from the London team of surgeons, however my GIC aren't as fully informed as I'm sure a lot of guys with real life experience are, so I'm asking for some help, anything and everything! -Firstly, how long after the first stage could you do physical activities? I am a trainee fitness instructor and plan to competitively body build, so the gym is a major part of my life! If it meant just working my upper body for a while, that would be fine. -Is there anyone that was able to have complete urethral lengthening done in stage one? -Is there anyone that was able to have glans sculpting done in stage one? -Sensation wise, can you retain orgasm from a buried clitoris? -How noticeable are your scars, and how long does it take to fade to noticeable amounts? -Does anyone know an average size outcome of ALT? Of course I understand everyone is different and it can alter, I would just like a rough idea! -Did it make an impact on your daily life when recovering from surgery? Thank you for ANY information. Izak.

Did/have you lost any nipple sensation?

Honestly I wasn't all that bothered about nipple sensation, it wouldn't make a difference to me if I couldn't feel em ever again. I can still feel them, but not at all like I used to be able to... It's slightly numb and distant.

Hey! I live in Sweden and I'm planning on going to USA to get my top surgery. So I was wondering who your surgeon was and like how much it costs? I love your results! Your chest looks beyond amazing!

Firstly thank-you, I'm very happy with my results. Secondly.. I'm from the UK not the USA! My surgeon was Dr Peter Kneeshaw in Hull and it cost about £6000.

Did you have to pay for a new passport? Or did they change it free of charge

You have to pay, it was around £80. Worth it though.

How long did you wait after surgery before starting to workout again? When you did start working out what type of exercise did you do?

About 2 months after surgery. Started off lightweight, nothing too heavy. When I started working out I did pretty much what I do now.. But over time I've adapted and learnt new things! A mix of cardio, body weight exercises and weight training.

cast actual trans actors to play trans characters 2k16

[razorshade]

This is fucking stupid, and I don't know why it has so many notes, let me explain why :

- Would you, or would you not be shocked if a TRANS actor was turned down a role for a CIS character on the basis that they weren't CIS?

- Do you understand what ACTING is? I'm pretty sure that in real life Brad Pitts pregnant wife wasn't decapitated by a psychopath, but they still fucking casted him in Se7en. It isn't about what the actors real life details.. It's not about their personal history and background. It's about the CHARACTER from the STORY and who can portray that character the best above others.

What if a cis actor is better suited for the role? What if they fit the criteria better than any of the trans actors? You ask to be treated just as any other person... Until you ask not to be.

Just rethink how pathetic and ridiculous this post is,

Sincerely, A transgender guy who believes in the true definition of equality.

I'm 18, and you wouldn't ever guess just by looking at me, but I lived in pain for 17 years as a "female". I have put in so much effort after my chest surgery - that's 10 months in the gym - to transform my body, to connect my mind to my muscles, to take control of what is mine. I've followed diet plans, focused on nutrition and health..and I've come off track and eaten a shit tonne of cake, chips and take aways a few times... But I always push myself back on the road towards my goals. I hear people complain about their bodies every day. That they're too fat here, that they're too skinny there, that they want bigger arms, a smaller waist, less chins, visible abs. That diet is too hard.. That exercise is too painful. I am walking proof that determination, dedication & positivity are all you need. I started out with a feminine body - one that any stranger would view as a "female" body and now, 9 months later, I have built my body to a level I am truly proud of. I'm not massive, I'm not ripped to shreds, I'm not unbelievable - but I have certainly transformed my body into something I'm comfortable with - and I'm definitely not finished. #WhatsYourExcuse
