Just saw this. I am too. Transitioned about 10+ years ago. Feel free to add me

Hi there, I'm FtM as well. Started T last year. Working my *kitten* off to lose wt and tone up so I have better results of my top surgery which I hope to have later this year.

Hi! I'm a trans guy living in the UK. Started T about 10months ago, struggling to keep the weight off, I have never worked out more or eaten healthier in my life but T has made it a real challenge. Want to get buff for top surgery, hopefully later this year!

Ok, been a month since anyone posted. How's it going guys??

FTM currently living in Cali!

i'm not trans but my husband is. just putting that out there. :-)

I'm FTM as well. Started T six years ago, hysto in Feb of 2010 and currently recovery from chest surgery on June 1st.

Now that the chest is gone, looking down, it's time to start working on losing the gut again ;o)

Is it just me or does njcre8ive look almost alarmingly like Brad Pitt?

Hey guys!

I was born and raised in MI but now live in FL.

I've been on T for 5 years, had top surgery 3 years ago and now I'm working on getting scooped within the next year. LOL

I'd love some more buddies on here to help me stay motivated.

Personally, as long as you are happy with who you are, don't really mind what you identify as. We all are sharing the same journey in trying to be healthier humans. Good to see the diversity out there!

I had my hysto/oopherectomy on Aug 1 and I'm feeling great. FINALLY got t start exercising again! My old doc that was monitoring my T levels had to retire so went to see a new guy this past week. Will be interesting to see how it needs to be adjusted.

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 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.

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.

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.

Hi there! 28 year old FTM from Bristol, UK here Nearly 7 years on T and am having my last chest surgery in a few months time (was done in stages similar to the work of Lena Andersson).
