hey im 17 and on t. i want to play on the guys soccer team next year but apart from not knowing if im even allowed, im wondering if i will be able to keep up? T has made me stronger and more muscular, and i was fairly good as a 'girl', but are there any physical attributes of dfab bodies that will make it difficult for me to play at the same level i did with girls? like stuff that doesnt change with T. idk if this makes any sense, just trying to figure out where i stand hear.

I think Colby will be able to give a better answer to this, but I just wanted to mention that from my own experience, I’d say no. I don’t know about the legal aspects or anything but i’m pre-t and this year i’ve been playing WR for my university’s men’s american football team (i’m in the uk so it’s not as big a deal over here). American football and soccer are very different of course, but in american football muscle and size can be very important. I’m 5"6 and skinny as hell, playing against cis guys who are all 6"0 and over and insanely muscular. But, if you have the passion for the sport and are ready to put as much effort in as possible then it doesn’t matter what your body is like. There was actually one guy there who was about 5"3 and he was still out there giving it everything. So i’d say that you shouldn’t let perceptions about your body hold you back if this is something that you really want. If i can do this then you can definitely do that.

(1) My partner is transitioning. I knew things would change and I knew he would need support (which I have given, unending and unconditionally). I did not know how severely he would change. He isn't the same person I fell in love with.

“2) He is angry and sullen and rude. He withdraws. He has started to lose his temper. He blames me for everything. He just doesn’t seem to care anymore. I don’t know where this is coming from, and I’m tempted to blame the hormones. I’m starting to resent his transition, for taking the man I loved away from me. And I don’t know how to cope.”

This isn’t an effect from hormones. If his levels are low, he could be experiencing mood swings, and that could affect any mental health problems he might suffer from.

But there is also the aspect of transition that makes people more themselves. Your partner might just be this person. He might not know how to care for you in this time. He might be feeling too much stress to be able to give any kindness to anyone but himself.

Don’t excuse his behavior because you think it’s hormones. Try talking to him. Openly like this. Tell him that he has been different and you don’t feel this way because he is getting closer to feeling more authentic in his body. But because he has treated you differently.

Hope this helps. I’m sorry for the troubles you’re experiencing right now.
