Maybe you're right...still expierencing culture shock

There's the nod down which is for men you dont know and the nod up for men you do know from my expierence

Something funny (and not funny) that happened to me is that someone who did not know I was trans thought I'd be transphobic because (presumably) I'm from the south and shared with me all of their shitty opinions on trans people in private thinking I'd agree with them

It's interesting how both are oppressive in different ways

I mean it in the sense of being percieved as not-man, not nececarily trans.

i didn't interpert it that way

i don't think it's objective fact but it does make me feel that way sometimes, yeah. Maybe it's a cultural or age difference.

I shave my face for the peach fuzz every couple of days but I cleanse it beforehand. Ive been eating a bunch of sugar which probably isnt helping

That's good advice

being clocked is when someone notices youre trans against your will

 

After moving states to a much more progressive one i feel like i get clocked all of the time here, whereas back home that rarely ever happened. When i pass by male strangers they dont do the nod thing to me. its very disconcerting. I get they'd by people who don't know me. I wish I could know what it was that makes people clock me like that. It feels like I'm not man enough here. Not being stealth feels like being naked. I don't like it.

Part of me wants to talk about my experiences as a trans man because it is a unique expierence that needs to be known, but at the same time I feel like as soon as I tell people I'm trans I automatically become Man Lite™ and a bunch of assumptions are made about me. And then I'm not man enough and am not treated as any other man would be treated. I wish T would do its magic already.

 

i have a decent amount of acne after starting T. I wash my face every night with a cleanser scrub thing but still get lots of blackheads and pimples. Any tips at how to minimize this?

 

ive been ten months on T, got plenty of new hair everywhere except my face. havent even gotten one new hair there. all the men in my family have no trouble growing facial hair. why tf am i not getting a single one

Update: still procrastinating

 

I've been having new permanent freckles appearing on my body since starting T. Is this a thing anybody else has expierenced

 

I've noticed that when I used to see myself in pictures I'd hyper assess every little detail of it to check for passing. Now when I see myself in pictures I don't do that anymore. Anybody else notice the same thing?

Annoyed with tgsupply for very long order wait times and being out of stock of almost everything I was gonna get but this article is helpful nonetheless.
