putting pressure against ur chest when u arent binding bc its comforting
the Thing™ with ur shirt where u pull it away from ur chest and shake it a bunch
doing that like every two seconds when ur dysphoria is particularly bad
[waiter/waitress comes by] [voice drops an octave] “yeah i’d like the…”
baby face
every male adult stranger calling u “bud” bc they think ur a prepubescent boy
insecurities manifesting in unconventional places (lack of body hair or feet size for example)
“be honest with me…. do i look flat in this shirt?”
pre-op, owning exactly 1 (one) bra bc ur only ever wearing a binder or nothing otherwise
getting unnecessarily excited to buy super boring stuff (cologne, mens underwear, etc)
feeling like a stereotypical 13 y/o boy when, post-starting t, u get ur First Facial Hair
the moment of intense fear when u hear someone say “ma’am” or “she” and the immense amount of relief when u realize theyre talking to someone else
getting mistaken for ur cis friends baby brother bc u look so much younger than them
other trans dudes, feel free to add stuff!

Most everyone knows that she’s trans and dating my friend and there’s quite a bit of controversy on the topic, but I never knew how my friend reacted to it. I got to see a glimpse of it today and it was beautiful.
We’re sitting in class, waiting for the bell to ring and I’m sitting by my friend. Some random girl is in front of him who we don’t really know that well. Most kids in the class were on their phones, including my friend and I. This girl turns around to my friend and asks,
“Your girlfriend is trans, right?” And I look up to see how my friend is gonna react. This kid doesn’t even look up from his phone, gives this girl no attention whatsoever but responds.
“Perhaps. Why?” He asks and I can tell he’s obviously not pleased.
This bitch has the audacity to then say, “I don’t know. It’s just kinda weird. I mean, she doesn’t have a real girl body.” And my friend doesn’t even hesitate with his response nor does he give this girl the satisfaction of a reaction. Instead, he says,
“Yeah, well neither do you with the amount of botox in your system, but that really doesn’t matter, does it?” And he looks up at her with this shit eating grin and she just looks at him all disgusted and offended before turning back around and my friend looks at me and we both burst in to laughter
No as much as I love the guy you’re absolutely spot on
It’s odd that Batman, who fights crime from the shadows and wears a dark suit to be unseen in the night, chose such a bright coloured uniform for his sidekick
Being trans is fun because there’s so many tiny milestones. I’ve never been to the beach as a boy before, I’ve never even owned a pair of swim trunks, and guess what we’re doing today!
I love being trans, there’s so much to look forward to!
Don’t put a pad on boxers! It doesn’t work and makes a mess
To feel more masculine wear boxers over your //pad holding underwear//
Don’t beat yourself up, you are totally rad and cool, you’re body is doing something, but that’s okay, it’s not your fault and it doesn’t make you less valid!
If your cheast starts to hurt, don’t bind, some guys get tender breast tissue when it’s that time of the month, listen to your body, don’t push yourself!
Treat yourself to some chocolate!
Tea!!! It’s so good!!!! And green tea can help with cramps!
Advil! I use it when my cramps get bad, sometimes I get headaches and it helps with that too! Don’t take more than six though!
Go under warm blankets with nothing but your underwear on, preferably soft blankets, it makes me feel like I’m in a soft cacoon
Oversized sweatshirts! Always good! Especially for dysphoria!
Wear comfy cloths, always good to feel good
Eat warm soup, feels nice in the tum tum
Don’t eat super greasy foods, it can make your skin break you even more! And there are already so many hormones making your skin do crazy thing you don’t want it to get worse! Also it can make cramps worse
Most of all listen to your body, don’t push yourself, and try to forgive it, it’s confused and doesn’t know that it shouldn’t be doing what it’s doing
let’s see how many transphobics we can weed out
