Tip for ftm gender dysphoria

Something I’m doing right now is following one of those 10-15 minute workout videos every day, and I personally find that it helps a lot. It helps me feel better about myself and my body. It’s also a great way to stay fit during quarantine and build shape!!

I recommend Madfit on youtube, her workouts are easy to follow even if you’re just starting off, and they’re at a good level of difficulty.

I feel so torn 😔

It has just been brought to my attention that when I start T I’m gonna have to quit the senior center that I love with all of me. It isn’t just a job to me I don’t feel like I’m working, I love what I do I love my seniors so much. I love E the 86 year old woman I cook with all day everyday. The realization just hit me that they aren’t going to take kindly to this... my seniors range between 60-104 years old.. in the middle of nowhere West Virginia to top it off.. very very religious people... same reason I’m losing my family..I can’t get my brain to stop racing. I feel so terrible. I feel like I’m letting down so many people that mean so much to me. But I can’t make myself miserable for other people anymore. But it’s so hard losing the ones i love just because I wanna be myself. I just wanna be happy with myself and who I am, but that seems like so much to ask. 😭

Bathrooms???

Anyone know policies for trans employees and bathrooms? I don’t feel right using the women’s and I’m afraid to use the men’s. And I’m worried I would have problems at work if I use the men’s or even continue using the women’s... any knowledge or advice??? I would GREATLY appreciate it.

Ftm Trans tips #2 packers. TW?

So packers.

1. Getting the right size for you! With packers if you want a big one good for you. If you don’t also good for you. Just remember it will be easier to manager a smaller size than a larger one. Honest opinion if you are stuck between sizes go the size smaller. A cis guys junk isn’t going to be 5 and a half inches long flaccid ok. Maybe. But not likely.

2. colour. If you are getting an stp this is more so important than just basic packers. Try to find the skin colour closest to the colour of your hands. I see review videos of guys comparing it to their arms but hands are a different skin time some times again if you are stuck between colours go the darker of the 2. If it’s too light it will look fake. Same as if it’s too long. The goal is to NOT draw attention to yourself.

3. Harnesses. There are shit tonnes of DIY videos out there. Easiest it just 2 circles if elastic that for around your waist one hours around the other goes in between your legs. You’ll know what I’m talking about if you look up tutorials. By far the best if you don’t want it to shift while sitting consists of an O ring elastic to go around your waist and a shoe lace. Comment if you want a tutorial. I haven’t seen anyone make one like it before. I made it myself.

4. Cleaning. Place packer in a sink full of Luke warm water and antibacterial soap and leave to sit for about 10 minutes. Do this AS REGULARLY as possible. best done DAILY! Then dry with paper towels to avoid lint. Cover in corn starch or talcum powder and you’re good to go.

5. Decent DIY sock packer! There are 2 methods. First involves sewing a complete packer with balls and stuff I’m sure you can forgive it out. Second. You need about 4/5 socks. And at least 1 has to be an ankle sock. Safety pin and optional - something firm like the bendable part of a book light or soft metal. Roll up one sock to the length you want (around the book light if you want) the. Repeat to desired thickness. Place in an unrolled sock fold sock in half and pin to boxers or what ever.

Ok that’s it. - Alexander Eli
