[TW: Weight, Surgery, Breasts, Excercise]

Hello!

Although working out your chest won’t completely elimate your breasts you will definitely lose some of your chest fat by working out your chest area. There will still be breast tissue, unfortunately, but some of the fat can definitely be lost to give the apperance of a flat chest. I do believe results are dependent on current breast size, but the size can definitely be reduced with chest excercises. Just remember to also work out other parts of your body as well, and since your goal is to “lose fat” make sure to throw some cardio in as well.

A YouTuber I watch who has actually done exactly that is Ty Turner. He’s never had top surgery and doesn’t plan on it, he just works out constantly, especially his chest, and he has the apperance of a flat stereotypical cis man’s chest. He also has a few shirtless videos so you can see the “results”. I’m not sure if he has any videos on his workout plan but his videos are super fun nonetheless. He has “regular” videos as well as trans specific videos if you’re interested.

Hi! I totally get this and this is exactly how I felt when I first starting thinking I may not be cis. Honestly I believe the internet and tumblr have helped many people come to realize that there are people out there who feel the way they do and that they aren’t alone. This is exactly how I found out I was trans actually so I totally get where you’re coming from.

Also in regards to you thinking you’re “faking it,” one thing to remember is that people who are faking it, don’t have that thought... I know it might sound strange at first but if somebody is faking something they don’t have the thought of “maybe I’m faking this,” because they know they are (I hope that makes sense) being doubtful about being trans I believe is totally normal. I know I went through that for some time, and I’ve known other trans people who experienced the same thing.

In my experience, what you’re going through is totally, and completely normal. I think it’s good that you’re questioning your gender and using the internet/tumblr to help you figure it all out! Those are excellent resources! (I know you already know this but just make sure you’re careful on the resources, as some can be very misleading and transphobic so just be on the lookout and if you ever have any questions always feel free to ask! A lot of people are willing and able to help)

Me now vs me as a senior in high school. I was trying so hard to be hyper-masculine so that I could “pass” that I didn’t wear any bright colors, I only wore button ups or hoodies, and I kept my hair unthinkably short. While I was comfortable at the time, I always wanted to dye my hair a bright color or try to wear more flowy and feminine clothing. In a sense, I overcorrected.

Now, a sophomore in college, I’ve got (blonde now because it faded) dyed hair, I let it grow out with an undercut, I wear what I want because I want to, and I’m unapologetic about it. What colors I like and what clothes I wear don’t make me any less of a man. (And I’m also allowed to identify as non-binary ~ that took a lot for me to accept).

And who knows? Maybe I’ll cut my hair again. I still wear button ups and hoodies, but not exclusively. And I’m allowed to change my mind. Like I said, at the time I was comfortable. But it’s not who I am now. Remember that it’s okay to be who you want to be, and you don’t have to follow anyone else’s stereotypes. I love and support you all 💛

Hey! That’s a fantastic transformation wow!!! That’s incredible! Congrats! We love and support you too! Love and support for all y’all!

To all our American followers. The news from the Trump Administration a couple days ago was truly heart breaking. There are no words for what happened. But I just want to remind everybody that this isn’t a law, and it’s not close to becoming one which is a good thing.

Please during this time make sure to take care of yourself, check up on friends who might need it, and stay strong. We are in this together. You are valid. You are strong. It’s going to be okay friends. Take a deep breath. Focus on your mental health, that’s so important.

For those of you in environments where the words “that’s great!” Or “that’s how things should be!” Or any iteration of that, please know that they are wrong. They are wrong, they’re on the wrong side of history.

You are beautiful, you are perfect, you are strong, and you are COMPLETELY valid. If you need anybody to talk to, we are always available to talk.

Keep your head up, stay strong. We are 1.4 million strong.

Hey everyone,

I know the whole “it gets better” thing gets tossed around a lot, almost to the point where it’s hard to believe... but let me tell you it does. It really does get better you just have to keep holding on. These past few years have been the HARDEST and most difficult years of my life. But in a month I will be moving to a place where I have always dreamed of living, and I will be working at one of my dream jobs! I will be moving to Southern California, and not only that but I will be working at Disneyland.

Now this post isn’t to brag, it’s to let you all know that it does get better! Life does turn around. A year ago if you would have told me this would be my life I would’ve laughed in your face because I didn’t think I was going to live longer than the week... it’s tough I know... it’s hard, it’s emotional, it’s scary, and sometime you feel alone... please hold on, please stay strong. You are not alone. Remember to take care of yourself. You are all important and are all valid. Each and every one of you. You all deserve the world. You deserve everything that is good and wonderful in the world. Please keep going. Keep going so you can move to your dream city and have your dream job. Keep going do you, so you can say “F**** you world! I did it!” You’ll get there I promise!

Heyyyyy everyone! Just your local non-binary trans guy here to celebrate multi-Monday with all y’all! Hope it’s a great one so far!

I love being trans. It means my google search history is filled with randomly specific poses for men. Specifically focusing on the groin region. Still fully clothed but oddly specific none the less. If somebody happened to see what I was searching, there would be much confusion.
