LOL! I wear a pair of briefs, compression shorts to hold my packer and spandex shorts, my binder pulled down over top. If I wear a tight belt, there's no way I'm getting exposed. And I didn't say I was gonna Shower. :P I go 3 days without showering on a regular basis and I can do a week! XD

Lewis,

Go get 'em!!

HUGS

Showering is your friend, Lewis. I smell pretty funky if I skip showering for a weekend.

In the end, you'll do what you have to do. I must say though...a daily shower isn't a bad thing. If you go to camp and need to skip it, that's one thing. However, don't confuse being dirty with being manly. The most manly people I know shower daily. DAILY.

Ummm not for nothing... but Lewis is right on the showering issue.

When boy scouts are on a weekend hike and camp... no one showers. On these occasions, boy scouts march all day on Saturday to the next base camp to enjoy chow and setting up tents and getting even dirtier than on the march. Sitting around the fire at night playing jokes on one another. Which of course requires more dirt. Getting up on Sunday. Saying prayers. Marching again all day to the camp you started from on Saturday. The glory was that you were dirtier than you ever thought possible!!

Glory days!!!

Lewis you are right on!!

Thanks bernii, someone else also pointed that out too I think. :) I'm glad SOMEONE has my back on this! :P I appreciate everyone's concern, truly. But I am a "Smart Kid". I go into things knowing what to expect, a lot of the concerns other guys express, are concerns I also think of right off the bat. "Pantsing" I saw that on TV of course... I didn't see that as an issue because I don't wear loose pants, and in general with my binder, and spandex and underwear all tucked in, it wouldn't be an issue. Swimming, that's not hard to cover. I have a couple options. I can get the swim compression shirt from underworks, or for that matter a regular one like that, and just put it on over my binder. I have stretchmarks, and I'm fat, I'm not sure I'd feel completely comfortable being topless without having chesticles. and a lot of guys don't feel comfortable taking their shirt off. If they wanna see me topless so bad, I can make a comment about them being gay. :P I can wear a rash guard shirt over top of my binder, though I wonder about it cause it's clingy. If questions arise, I plan to have one of those binders with the compression only in the chest, I can say I'm wearing an undershirt, like the compression kind, and a spandex shirt, which helps support my back. "Back Brace" has always been the excuse I thought to use before. For bathroom stuff, when I go to camp, I'll have my STP in place 24/7. I'll wear them with a jock strap, the shaft going out of a hole. I can squat and go in the woods, without exposing anything, if I have to. and I can pee standing up. I might have to order a different STP, from DJs, cause I don't think Mango will deliver in time...

Meh, but I'm rambling again... anyway, ain't nothing gonna hold me back.

I wish you well but I suspect this isnt going to end well. Teenage lads will not accept I don't want to take my top of because I am fat, they will rip it off or just torment you they are not sensitive souls. Not showering when your doning heavy excercise is vile and not manly at all its also unhealthy.

Lewis, it isn't that I don't have your back. It's that I am making sure you've thought about everything because I care what happens to you. This is what older people do. We tell you things you probably already know. Once in a while we'll say something you haven't thought of. Most of the time we probably won't. Just bear with us.

If you can get your doctor to fill out your paperwork, you probably can take care of yourself at camp. After all, I've heard that there were FTM's who served in the Civil War.

Check it

The article talks about women fighting as men, but I think these people were actually FTM's from back in the day.

Anyway, my point is that these guys stayed safe without store bought binders or STP's, without T, and without the internet. That's pretty cool.

Lewis, I believe in you, but I still worry.

On the subject of STP's, I don't think you will EVER get stuff you ordered from Mango. They are, as they say, "kaput". Lots of people are complaining about Mango right now. DJ ships pretty quickly. He's in Canada, so it takes a bit....but I think he usually mails stuff right away. If I were you, I'd also make sure I had a "plan B". You are such a handy fellow. Maybe try making an STP? Judging from YouTube videos I've seen, it isn't too hard once you get the materials. There's one video posted that's really good.

Boy Scouts of America membership controversies

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boy_Scouts_of...p_controversies

"The Supreme Court of the United States has affirmed that as a private organization, the BSA can set its own membership standards."

Do understand that given these restrictions it is unlikley they would accept a Transgender person knowingly especially without chest surgery. In addition boys will be expected to take their shirts off for certain sporting activities. Transgenders are often perceived to be gay no matter what their real orientation really is.

Do I wish the facts were different? Yes I do. I know what this means to you. You could consider legal options but the odds are steep.

Do keep in mind that you would be falsifying a legal document to go. That is generally frowned upon by most organizations. That's something that can get you in serious trouble.

      Heeelp! tips on masculinizing my face?

      By Nonexistent · Posted

      I have the same problem as you, my face is the main reason why I get misgendered I'm pretty sure. I think it's mostly up to genetics how your face will look (T can help, but still genetics will determine how you end up). You can't change your facial structure really, you can get facial masculinization surgery but it's expensive so not an option for most unless you're rich lol.    Experimentally (I haven't done it but want to), you could see if any plastic surgeons around you will give you Kybella in your cheeks. It is an injection that removes fat, and is usually used underneath the chin/on the neck below the jawline, but some may use it off-label on the face. The only potential problem with this is that if your face would naturally thin out at an older age, it could thin out extra and make you look older (though I'm not certain on this). Another option is to get filler in your jaw/chin, which would make your jawline look more square and your face more masculine. I want jaw filler but I'm poor lol, it only lasts one year up to a few years depending on what kind you get, so it would have to be done every so often and can get expensive. I did get chin filler once, only 2 small vials so it didn't make that big of a difference. I would recommend going for the jaw if you can only choose 1, I wish I had done that.   Those are the only options I know of that will bring legitimate noticeable changes.

      HRT has little effect on me, misgendering

      By Nonexistent · Posted

      Thank you.    Trans men and trans women each have their own struggles for sure, but I agree, it can be a hard time to be a non-passing trans guy. There is no specific "man clothes" that only men wear. People could just think I'm butch (which sucks to think about, if people think I'm a lesbian when I'm a dude!!). I mean I would feel better if I got gendered correctly even if I don't fully pass, it would maybe raise my confidence to think maybe I do pass well lol! Instead I'm just reminded I don't.   Though I may just focus on the times I don't pass and ignore the times that I do. Because I rarely remember getting gendered correctly, but I hone in on the times that I don't.

      HRT has little effect on me, misgendering

      By Nonexistent · Posted

      Thank you, I'm glad to be here. :)   I have been in therapy for 9 years but still can't seem to accept myself. I think it has to do with growing up trans in a world that hates us, especially in the south. I mean I was discriminated against by adults and ostracized as a kid/teen due to being trans. My family is accepting, but the rest of the world is not. I realize now a lot of people are accepting (even unexpectedly, like my partner's conservative republican Trump-loving parents lol), but it feels like my brain is still in survival mode every time I exit the door. I am a very fearful person.   My body still may change over time, but it feels like I haven't met the same 'quota' (don't know the right word) that a majority of other trans guys have on far less time on T. Most trans guys pass easily 1-3yrs on T, I'm double that and still don't pass well except my voice.

      HRT has little effect on me, misgendering

      By Nonexistent · Posted

      Thank you. I am just used to seeing trans guys who pass at like... 6 months to 1 year, at the most 3 years. And I just don't meet the mark, all the way at 6 years. It is possible with time I will masculinize more, but it's frustrating when I'm "behind" and may never catch up. It threatens my mental health mostly, possibly my physical health if I'm visibly trans (though I don't ever go out alone).

      Yeah, I am grieving the man I "should" have been. He will never exist, especially not in my youth. But I don't know how to healthily go about it instead of fixating on the life that could have been.

      Sorry it took me a while to respond!    I would like to get to know you. :) I only have mental disabilities. Schizoaffective disorder, depression, and anxiety. The last two are severe and very treatment-resistant. I did have physical problems for some time, but it was caused by an antipsychotic medication (Invega). It basically crippled me, muscle weakness/fatigue, basically could barely walk (used mobility devices) and doctors were useless since they didn't suspect the medication I was on! I've finally ditched antipsychotics (hopefully for good, unless my symptoms come back). I usually don't share like this, especially in person, but hey, I'm anonymous. :)   I'm not expecting reciprocation at all btw, these things are personal. There is more to us than disabilities, so tell me about yourself if you still wanna talk!

      Well the boss is at it again. They misplaced a work order thinking I was the last one who had it, yesterday morning. I know where it is. Last thing I did with it was put it back on the counter. He accused me a couple times of having it last and put it somewhere. Come to find out, the other boss (his wife) had taken it. she put the work order paper in the recycle box.   Has he apologized about the accusations. He!! no. I am waiting for hadies to get frost bit.   So that was my morning.  But it is finally warming up here. currently 63 and windy.   Hugs, Kymmie

      I AM A GIRL!!....Are you?

      By MAN8791 · Posted

      I am gender fluid, leaning heavily towards trans masc. My eldest is male and despite all the "stuff" we deal with with him (autism, speech delay, etc) I found him to be easy to raise. When my middle kid (female) was born, literally the first words out of my mouth were "I don't know how to raise a girl!" And I really felt I didn't know. She showed me. She's still showing me how to exist as comfortable and completely secure in her gender expression. It is entirely awe inspiring to see all three of them feel so settled in their bodies in ways that I never, ever felt or feel to this day.
