Says the one who doesn’t eat at all 😭

I’m tempted to try this. Especially because 68kg is literally my weight. I could gain a couple of kilos…

        oh i heard about a surgery for narrower shoulders. its called clavicle shortening. theres a limit to what they can do, i forget how much, but its cool that its possible. not sure id get that one personally.

        ive thought about getting the ribcage remodeling but neither method seems great to me, either the rib removal (potentially serious breathing issues) or the breaking method (requires a corset for months and might just go back to normal after). maybe after another year or two of hormones to see what i get.

          I’m still considering ribs. I mean…I know I’m supposed to try and accept myself the way I am, but sometimes I just look in the mirror, see my bone structure and think: “God, if it weren’t for T puberty…I could have been really pretty.”

          And it hurts. Not as much as before, it’s not the crushing existential dread that it used to be, but it’s still a shame.

          I’m pretty sure the last time I looked that surgery up the complication rate was huge and it’s only like a centimeter or so they can do at most

            You’re right. It’s definitely not one of the super-safe surgeries. The shoulders would probably be locked into a “forward” stance forever and it might have an effect on mobility…

            I’m pretty sure they do a couple of inches on each side tho…so not a lot, but a noticeable difference.

            If after years of HRT my hips don’t balance out my broad shoulders, I’m probably getting it.

    If it goes to your butt, that’s a good thing! I’d rather look like a somewhat fat girl than a skinny guy.

    Lobster too buttery

    Like that’s not what you were hoping for but that’s still a win in my book

    I’ve been playing this game where I lose a bunch of weight before I start HRT then put it all back on and this time its in cooler places. I started HRT last week but I forgot to end the diet. Oh well.

      I’ve heard from some transfems who tried this that in the beginning of the HRT the fat goes to the places where it goes in a male body, so don’t expect nice results with this strategy very soon.

      This trans baby that I am does not know when the fats will begin accumulating in the correct places, though, so cannot unfortunately help you with that. But eventually they will!

        Thanks for the warning. Though yeah, considering they like to titrate you with a low dose to start with that tracks. Probably not even worth trying until they up the dosage

        No, no. I just live in one of those silly countries where getting on HRT takes months and costs hundreds. I knew I’d be starting at some point for the past year ish
