Hey I heard you've been on T for awhile I've just started and know I'll start to smell soon, do you have any tips on how to keep smelling fresh cause I'm worried about stankin’

LMAOOO i love this ask…. i genuinely do have some good advice on this i think because im quite a Sweaty Fella & come from a family of similarly sweaty and stinky guys LOL

my main advice is

1) find a GOOD deodorant and consider antiperspirant if it doesn’t bother u. lots of guys use old spice and love it, personally it breaks me out so i tend to use the irish spring speedstick antiperspirant (it’s also dirt cheap) and also a spray deodorant to refresh. i’ve tried natural deodorants like native or tom’s and they really don’t do much. i personally just say stick to the cheap stuff because it usually works and smells decent!

2) GOLD BOND!!! especially if ur heavier set / particularly in the thigh and ass area. this shit SAVES me during the summer from diabolical swamp ass. i keep a travel size bottle with me at all times. slap some in ur underwear in the morning, between your thighs to prevent chafing, and really anywhere that sweats more. again u can go with the cheap shit it works the same.

3) if u do use cologne, don’t overdo it. you do NOT wanna be the guy who smells like he just sprayed a whole can of axe on himself. one spritz per shoulder, one on your lower half, and maybe a spray/walk through if you really need it. better yet, use an aftershave and put a dab on your wrist, rub your wrists together, then on your neck.

otherwise just shower often & use a good soap (i usually do an unscented soap to wash my body first then a scented one/body wash after)

Soooooooooooooo..... I'm going to the gender clinic tomorrow and I want to know what to wear. I know it's not something I should worry about, but I really want to make sure the people at the gender clinic understand that I am serious about going on T.

I'm really scared of biases towards me being nonbinary and that they will refuse T, which might be a weird fear. I had to wait for 13 months for my first appointment, which they continued to delay by moving the date to the point of placing it in the middle of Easter, which then forced me to cancel the appointment.

And with the added factor of this being the exam season, I need to make everything count. Funny enough, the secretary asked if I could "just cancel the appointment and come to us in another time" as if I did not have to wait for over a year to simply get an appointment to talk.

I swear, if I have to deal with waiting for another year for simply talking about going on T, I will fucking kill myself (jk). I'm just really mad at the system, and the fact that I am not dealing with the worst part of this is also really bad.

Hey yall, I'm a trans man thats still unsure about medically transitioning for medical reasons, but I have a question about pre-transitioning tattoos in case I do.

I dont have any tattoos presently but I know that if you take t (as well as exercise) it changes your body composition. How much, if at all, did your tattoos change after being on t?
