I don't have any advice for you but I do wish you the best and I trust that things will work out in the end. Hang in there.

I get freckles when I'm out in the sun but these are the kind that are bigger and don't go away. Got some in places that aren't exposed to the sun like beside my belly button and my on my upper thigh.

Wait, really, male pattern baldness is uncommon in trans men? I was under the impression that it was at a similar rate to cis men.

Surely this won't have any consequences (it will)

Been feeling a decent amount of gender euphoria eight months in. Caught covid.

I haven't tried it myself but I've heard others have had luck with minoxidil for facial hair growth

It's not off topic you're good

For future reference: you can post most things as long as it relates to the topic (ftm and transmasc) and isn't harmful to you or others

Yeah you can post it

 

I borrowed this idea from Ada, who made a great post on c/MTF about this. The discussion was very interesting and I wanted to bring it to a wider range of perspectives across the spectrum.

 

Bonus: what are your goals for the future (doesn't have to be specific)

 
 

I came across this and quite enjoyed it. It's a collection of trans voices from the Southern USA. As a trans southerner myself, I think it's very important to have our voices out there especially nowadays.

Most of what you hear in the news is about all the gross human rights violation laws targeted towards LGBTQ people. It's very real and has far reaching effects. Despite all this, there's still a sizable queer population hanging on! There are also many allies here, despite all the loud bigoted voices.

I've had people judge me solely because I am a southerner. People make negative assumptions because of an accent. I've literally had people up north outright ask me if I'm homophobic, transphobic, racist, etc.

Point is, if you ever meet a southerner, get to know them first. We're people just like anybody else, and some of us are trans too. If you meet a queer southerner, give 'em an extra hug because times are tough.
