[TW] Stretch marksI'm so happy about this OMG OMG OMG!!!! I have such a hard time gaining weight and since it was going down I assumed I needed to eat more, but it looks like I was losing muscle and gaining fat? I don't know any women around me who likes hers but I think they look soo cool! Like a nice pattern on my skin. :)

congrats!๐Ÿฅณ

one thing I'd like to recommend is to moisturize as while the stretchmarks are a great indicator you probably don't want them to last

anyways again congrats! I'm happy for you!!๐Ÿฅณ๐ŸŒป

Second this! I have a fair amount pre-transition when I was more active and involved in fencing. Sooo wish I had taken better care of my skin health (or more taught about the consequences).

Congrats to OP!! ๐Ÿ™Œ

Thank you!!๐Ÿ˜Š They are still small but with the way things are going they might get bigger :D

And if they do last, you might have EDS! Zebra is our mascot for a reason ๐Ÿ˜…

I wish I could be a tenth as happy as you seem. I'm stuck with just gross ones from just a horrible relationship with food all my life.

I've never said this before, but we should put a TW on this. I didn't want to read this rn, and wouldn't have if I'd have known. (I thought it must be some other thing that just was being called stretch marks or something)

Oh gosh I'm so sorry! I'm going to put a TW in the title.

Thanks, ur not at fault, im a bit sick this morning and probably am an idiot is all.

It is absolutely okay and understandable to make a content warning request.

Cis-het guy here. I really like stretch marks. I think it's something that appeals to my monkey brain (even though I really don't want kids, haha)

I'm happy for you and you should be proud of them for multiple reasons!
