Hey, just joined MFP & found this post. I’m from Oregon and transitioned about 3.5 years ago. It’s great to see so much diversity on this site. Feel free to friend me.0

Not trans - but an ally. If anyone is in Vancouver and likes yoga there is a series of Queerdalini sessions coming up (Kundalini Yoga for queer, transgender, and other gender non-conforming folks! and Allies!) starting Friday Dec 7. Message me for more details if interested or search Facebook for Queerdalini. Love and peace.0

Question for the trans guys....I like tofu, soy...but I've not been eating any for the past year + because it increases estrogen. Does anyone know that once the inside job is done...will it still effect estrogen as much? I know they promote for post menopausal women.
Not a trans guy BUT I believe I've read several places that you have to be eating MASSIVE quantities for it to be any kind of issue and the jury is sort of out on what kind of issues and how much. You should be fine eating soy in moderate quantities - I'd maybe avoid it in processed snack foods but go ahead and enjoy tofu so that you keep your intake moderate.0 -

Seconding that it has no effect on your appearance.
I am a vegetarian/Pescatarian trans man, and despite this I have a considerably masculine appearance and have little trouble passing (as much as one can expect from a pre-T man). Soy doesn't have enough estrogen in it and the reason this is such a pervasive myth is because the meat industry championed it in order to sink their claws into men with latent misogynist views.
Outside of your transition, its important to be a wholesome person and live up to your ideals. It makes day-to-day life more enjoyable overall and bearable for those hard times. I don't know about you, but every time I thought about stopping my vegetarian diet I felt extremely distressed and physically sick with the thought of having red meat inside of me. If you have religious, spiritual, personal, simply preference or health reasons for not eating meat then I encourage you to keep it up as I have.0 -
Almost forgot to introduce myself as well!
My name is David and I'm a trans man. I'm college age, majoring in graphic design, and hoping to lose the 20 pounds I've gained on cafeteria food. I'm from Michigan as well, and I'm actually surprised at how many on this website are from the state.
Good to meet you all!0 -
