You’re gonna have a hormone crash, and it’s gonna be weird, and for the first couple days you’re gonna feel weird and bad emotionally and maybe feel like you made a mistake.
Yeah, that’s actually normal. Your breasts produce hormones and trigger hormone production elsewhere, and removing them induces something like a mild form of postpartum depression.
IT WILL PASS.
For the first few days I couldn’t even glance at my chest without feeling horrible, like I’d done something egregious. A few days later and I’m fine and thrilled, just as I thought I would be. The hormone crash is real, it’s okay, and don’t freak out about it too much. It will pass. You’ve done the right thing and you know it.
Just want to check in on all of you. See how you’re doing.
I’ve had a rough couple weeks but I’ve been hanging with some guys and now I’m a work-boot wearing, car-fixing, Mountain Dew-drinking, grizzly wintergreen-chewing MAN. It feels like such a big stereotype but I swear to god it also feels manly as fuck. Oh, and I’m fostering a coonhound named Truck.
I think all I need now is a Carhartt jacket and a signature baseball hat. Just saying.
How are you exploring and expressing yourself? Any luck with the ladies?
if you’re a baby gay and this is your first pride, watch your drinks! men are trash across all sexualities
I know boys don’t get these talks so let me clarify:
This doesn’t just mean alcohol
Don’t accept any open drinks
After you get your unopened drink, you keep it in your site
You have to go to the bathroom so you leave your drink on a table? That drink is now dead to you.
You’ve been holding your drink way low out of your eyesight and people are crowding? That drink is now suspect.
Stay safe, babies
Also: Rohypnol (a date rape drug) tastes VERY SALTY. If your drink is suddenly salty, STOP DRINKING IMMEDIATELY.
Buddy system, y'all. If your friend is acting *way* drunker than they should, take them to an Urgent Care or ER. Date rape drugs can kill you.
always rb
rb for the advice
And not just the boys, but girls too.
Just because you’re in a bar or club with only other women does not mean you are inherently safe.
My best friend got drugged by a girl in an all female bar and was almost raped in the bathroom.
Always remember to be careful.
Alllll of this. I’ve seen some shit at pride man… Be safe
Not just pride either. I was roofied on NYE a couple years back at the gay club. I have a heart issue, I actually could have died. The only reason I didn’t was because a drag queen who saw me there alone checked on me right before I lost consciousness and carried me out with the assistance of another transguy so the paramedics could get to me. I wish it wasn’t phrased the way it is, but y’all have to remember to watch out for yourself and the people around you.
