Curves


Guest Kalynn

Recommended Posts

I asked a question a couple days ago, but with the server move my account and posts were lost. So I ask again: What can be done to decrease or eliminate womanly curves in the torso? Would hormones have any effect? Is there any kind of surgery?

Testosterone redistributes your fat, taking it from things like your butt and breasts and packing it on in a more masculine arrangement. It does the same with your face, taking it out of your cheeks and putting it in your brow. Plus, it makes you more muscular, which also helps give you a more guy-like shape.

So, yes, hormones will take care of that.

Thanks for your help. :)

You can bind, as well. Binders work for the chest and the torso in a similar way that cinchers and corsets- they flatten where you want them to. They come in tank tops, full shirts, body suits, etc.

Seriously I used to be the most curvacious and bootylicious female in the world. My bottom was the stuff of legends.

I used to use my rear to open doors when I was pushing my stroller and I had three pregnancies worth of baby fat on me to add to it.

Taking T and working out did wonders for me, I have a recent pic in my gallery showing how awesomely kind T has been to me.

I went from 36 hips 24 waist 38 bust to a straight 33. Thats the first, best and fastest change I noticed. Now if only I could grow a beard!

Oh an my biggest binding tip is to mold not mash.

If you can't get em flat to your chest, don't fret just make sure you can hold them in place where a man's pecks would be and it will look fine no matter your bust size :)

I'm not worried about breasts so much as I'm worried about dipping in at my waist and flaring out at the hips.

Thanks for the input though. I've tried binding, but I think I was doing it wrong, "mashing" lol.

haha this is a kind of interesting topic...

this makes no sense but ive done it multiple times and kept coming up with 34-34..and forgot the hip one lol

anyway, i was wondering if the redistribution thing also applies to bones or just to fat..lol

since pelvic bones in male vs. female skeletons are different, it seems odd that someone could end up a straight 33 if they stll had a female-shaped pelvis..

Oh with me it was all fat around my hips. I've had three pregnancies! (you'd never even know now)

I had padding everywhere!

Seriously when I bind I use medical tape and just tape so they're held up. Just ONE strip of tape from the bottom of the breast to the shoulder worked for me when I had a chest. Just to hold it in place. Lots of guys have chest fat, it's just WHERE the chest fat SITS that makes the man or the woman chest shape. No matter what size you are.

Kind of like suspenders...To hold my chest up in the right place. After 10 years of binding I wish I figured this one out sooner. To think I started off with ace bandages and saran wrap ewwwww.

But yes, T moves all that bum and thigh fat up to where you need it on the tummy!

      To escape Gaza is already an achievement. And then to be trans?’: the women defying national and gender boundaries. https://www.theguardian.com/film/article/2024/may/16/yolande-zauberman-documentary-the-belle-from-gaza-cannes-film-festival

      Accidents happen.  So do heat-of-the-moment murders, without premeditation or trans-related hate.  It will take a trial to really figure it out.     One thing we can see from this is that it is people in our circles of acquaintances, friends, and partners who are the ones who usually hurt us.  Not someone random. We have to be careful who we trust.

      Friday May 17th is IDAHOBIT (International Day Against HOmophobia, BIphobia and Transphobia).   Do you acknowledge or celebrate it? Do you do anything special for it, like taking part in any organized events or activities?   I'm not an activist and I prefer to fly under the radar, but I am slowly becoming aware of important dates. I have been aware of the date of IDAHOBIT for a few weeks now, but other important 'rainbow' dates have not been etched into my brain yet.    I will wear my favorite pride t-shirt as a token acknowledgement of the day, but it probably won't be seen; cool weather here will mean that it will be hidden under a sweater.

      Happiness for me comes from being cognizant of the things that make me feel good.   Sunshine.   Pandering to my inner woman.   Knowing that some people in my life really 'know' me.   Vacations, and Eggs Benedict at an alfresco cafe.   My wife and I being telepathic.   Grandchildren.   Music.   Wine!

      True.  Every trans death is not a hate crime. There is so much hate expressed by some people, that we kinda get to expect it.

      happiness to me is being ME. At all times, and it has yet to happen.

      Hello & welcome, giz! Your post makes me remember how excited I was to join here too. I also had queer friends at the time I joined, but any of my trans friends lived a long distance away. So most local queer friends are gay & I felt uncomfortable coming out to them bc I couldn't assume they'd understand genderqueerness. So it was a thrill to join here and immediately have access to do many wonderful, genuine, kind & thoughtful friends-to-be.   Are you saying you're concerned that if you come out to your queer friends that somehow your parents will find out?     My love, I just want to affirm that that's not a weird dysphoria. It's just dysphoria. And we definitely get it. You're in good company here!     Look forward to seeing you around here & getting to know you. I shoot for androgynous appearance as well, leaning towards masculine.   Hope you're having a splendid day!

      Listening to a YouTube mix for me and this song came up and I immediately fell in love again and just want to play music with like minded musicians playing OUR music and feel the joy and fulfillment even if no one else gets it. I love to fall into the music....

      Funny.....   The day-centre transportation director told me yesterday morning that I was to receive an award, my picture on the website, etc... for having won the billiards tournament (I knew better).   Later that afternoon he returns to "shake my hand" and tell me, "thanks for participating."   I could have told him that was all I would receive earlier. I'm not well liked by management.
