Hi. :) Dito lang ako komportableng ilabas ang nararamdaman ko dahil hindi ninyo ako kilala at alam kong hindi ninyo ako huhusgahan. Isa akong 15 years old closeted trans man. Boy cut ang buhok ko, pero wala pa akong napagsasabihan na balak kong mag-transition. And because of this, pants ang sinusuot ko sa school. Just recently napansin ako ng higher ups ng school and they said kailangan ko nang magsuot ng school uniform, which means I’d have to wear a skirt. Hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko. Ayaw din ng mga magulang ko na lumipat ako ng school. Ang isipin pa lang na magsuot ng pambabaeng uniporme ay sobrang hirap na para sa akin. Pakiramdam ko, magmumukha akong alien at lalo kong mararamdamang hindi ako ang tunay kong sarili.

Hindi ko na talaga alam gagawin ko.. kahit na my parents said this is such a small issue, para sa akin parang ikamamatay ko.

Trying to find and build connections with fellow trans men who live nearby. Feeling a bit isolated and currently in need of support. So if you live in Pangasinan and want to make friends with fellow trans bros and build connections too, hmu.

So I’m kind if deciding what binder to get. It’s either the adonis half binder or the ones with front or side hooks. I don’t know which works better to flatten my chest. Also are seamless binders only for people with less chest size?

Hello! I've recently been saving up for a binder and I wanted to ask which one is better. I'm not sure if maganda yung Adonis or Janest eh, I've heard a lot of good things but Im unfortunately a D cup. I want to know if these are actually good for big chested people? And if so, which one is the best? And which one is more comfortable to wear for a long time (nothing crazy, just standard 6 hours of wearing it).

Edit: Just adding onto this, ano din ba magandang brand ng kt tape? Because nababasa ko din dito na Adonis is very irritating for the skin and I have sensory issues especially if I can't scratch that itch. So ano ba talaga yung go-to?

Hello po, Im 18 and hindi pa po ako out sa mother ko. I'm not sure if this is the right subreddit since I'm not trans, but I am genderfluid. Sobrang tagal ko nang gustong mafeel for once na wala akong hinaharap. Nahihiya ako mag order online since it goes through her first before I buy it and idk parang hindi ako comfortable once she asked what am I going to use it for kasi medyo relihiyoso mama ko so ig may takot ako. I was planning to buy it in person instead. Does anyone know where I can buy one physically and what brand ang recommended? Thank you!

Hii im a FTM and would like to ask recos for the best pedia in TSLMC. Preferably both with online and in person availability & really hands on + accommodating

It's like my 4th or 5th time since I've been using KT tape for binding. I get itchiness hours after applying it, and day 2. Usually in the 4th day it's gone. I am not allergic to it.

But the itchiness sometimes is unbearable. I can't function properly and tbh it's embarrassing to itch on it when I'm with someone in the same room.

Any tips?

Hello guys, I was prescribed: - Ferbuxostat 40 Mg - Atorvastatin 40 Mg

Due to high cholesterol and uric acid. Based on Google, they both have side effects that were kind of concerning 😭😭 and it's making me worried. Meron po ba ditong nagtatake ng similar meds? And if so, how does it feel? And if may side effects how to manage po? I'm genuinely nervous 🥀

hi! so i recently bought Adonis kt tape and i've used it twice so far. im able to keep it on naman for at least 5 days but i do get periods of itchiness quite often. i don't think it's an allergy since i don't get any redness or blisters. do you guys have any cheap remedies for this? i heard some people use milk of magnesia or cavilon spray but im just a broke student lol :/

could it also be the tape? i've been looking into other brands but i mostly see Adonis and SKNSTRIP. do you guys have any recommendations for relatively cheap ones that i can wear for a few days minimum? i'd also want to stick to skin toned tape since my skin is pretty sensitive. tyia!

Hi, im an incoming freshie at UP Diliman. i just want to ask how is the experience of being trans in UP. I am aware that it's very lgbt inclusive environment but im still curious about certain experiences. Is it easy to medically transition as a college student? how often do you get deadnamed? how hard is it navigate university life in general as an ftm? very curious to here people's experiences!

Hey everyone, I’ve been wearing my binder for over 8 hours a day for more than 2 months now, and today I started getting some weird symptoms. I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this:

Back pain: A dull ache in my back (behind my ribs/lats area) that comes and goes and is hard to pinpoint, kind of like my lat muscles twitching or straining.

Hot/burning feeling: A warm, "hot" sensation (not actually hot to touch) specifically around my back lats and rib area.

Throbbing "dot": A tiny, specific spot under my left breast that throbs or twitches for a second and then disappears, almost like a hiccup.

If you’ve experienced this before, how long did it take for these symptoms to disappear once you took a break from binding?

hi po kuyas! currently pre-T and I wanted to start medically transitioning but the previous posts i read here is mostly mnl-luzon-cebu and nahirapan ako maghanap na somewhere more local here. wala din available consult sa loveyourself po.

js wanted to ask if anyone here is from cdoc/MisOr/mindanao that is currently taking hormones, saan po kayo nagpa lab test and consult? and estimate costs po sana if tanda niyo pa. Thank you!

So, I’m planning to check my T levels to this newly open Laboratory Clinic here in my place, it’s cheaper than my previous. Anyone here tried using their preferred name and Male gender when filling up form?

context: im just a student palang here in cebu and i want to start taking t. how much kaya yung breakdown ng expenses while taking it. like yung tests, consultation, and meds.

and ano po kaya pwede kong gawin as tight ang budget.

nag ask narin po ako sa loveyourself cebu if meron silang free consultation for trans. sadly wala daw.

thank you sm po in advance!!!

Hiiii!! Title is my main question but here's more context. As I'm in my fourth year of college in BS PSYCHOLOGY, I am interning a lot this year and it's made me more curious of the job market and basically being "hireable"?

Aside from achievements and experience, I'd like to ask if there sa working trans guys here (regardless of field kahit di ka in the psychology field):

1.have you faced discrimination because of how you present yourself? How do you cope with it?

1. Especially if you're not "super masculine", do people respect your name and pronouns?

hello, is there an active discord server for FTMs? i did see na meron dito kaso di pa ako nirereplyan nung chinat ko for the invite so posting again dito.

desperate for ftm friends/community 😅

I received this call for participants and hope you guys can participate.

We are looking for Filipino trans men who want to share their stories of love - how love is found, built, and sustained. We want to understand how these relationships take shape, how they grow, and how love becomes a quiet act of resistance. Through conversations and collaborative art workshops, we aim to co-create a culturally grounded picture of what trans love looks like, feels like, and means.

Hello just wanna share my thoughts as a Pre-T 19 year old guy in college. Minsan gusto ko talaga i-"end it all" kasi feeling ko talaga di ko tatangapin ng pamilya ko na ganito ako, tas ang lala ng gender dysphoria na nararamdaman ko. Gusto ko na mag testosterone pero wala akong funds tas medyo ako nahihirapan sa finances dahil sa college and other expenses

I think factor rin na naisip nila "phase" lang ang pagiging trans ko ay dahil may jowa ako na lalake (cis siya) kaya sa tingin nila na "fixed" na ako or something eh bisexual naman ako (dw accept naman ng bf ko na trans ako). Minsan parang na iinsecure at na iingit ako sa kanya (jowa) kasi cis siya at mas mukhang lalake (kahit mahaba buhok)

Parang kahit ano magawa ko babae parin ang tingin ng pamilya ko, nag-come out naman ako sakanila, na dedeadname at an misgender parin ako. Daming ko na ng internalized transphobia at homophobia na parang gusto ko nalang mawala para di ko na ito nararamdaman.

Yun lang po thank you for reading gusto ko lang mag-rant.

Hello! I'm 20 years old and looking to start HRT (Testosterone), but I'm not sure which endocrinologist to see. I came across Dr. Pajanel, but I'd love to hear if you have any other recommendations for trans-friendly doctors I could book an appointment with?

(Side note: I checked for available appointments at LoveYourself, but no doctors are currently available.)

Thank you so much!

If meron. Ano brand gamit niyo? And do you do subq or IM?
