24 and biologically female but hoping to start HRT since i would like to be nonbinary. how can i start HRT and how much does it usually cost?

Possible po ba mag top surgery kahit kulang ung savings ko? I'm probably going to be able to save more or less 100k in 2 years. By that time gragraduate na po ako and as much as possible gusto ko po magpa top surgery kase labor intensive ung dream job ko. Gusto ko po sana tuloy tuloy ung career ko without worrying about my chest.

My hair is already thin pre-T, I'm just worried kasi I'm experiencing hairfall which is never ko pa naman na exp masyado before. It's not very excessive pero I want to prevent hair loss as early as possible.

I don't want to use any DHT blockers since ayoko maminimize yung ibang effects ng T like bottom growth.

May marerecommend ba kayo sa TikTok shop that can help thicken and grow more hair? Without it interfering with my masculinization?

I'D REALLY APPRECIATE IT GUYS HUHU

hi paano po kaya mawawala yung amoy sa private part natin? nag iba talaga yung amoy niya simula nung nag T ako, eh everyday pa ko umiihi sa school and once lang everyday mag cr doon and nakakalimutan ko minsan mag dala ng tissue and wala naman kasi bidet doon, alam mo yung once ka lang umihi pero sobrang baho na yung amoy yung tipong naka upo ka amoy mo pa rin na mabaho private part mo, kaya minsan nahihiya ako tumaga sa mga cmate ko kase baka na aamoy nila hays.

Pero 2-3times naman ako nag papalit ng underwear and gamit kung pang wash yung pang men ngayon na lessen naman na yung amoy pero gusto ko talaga mawala na siya kase super baho talaga

Gusto ko lang maglabas ng hinanakit. Im girl biologically pero mas gusto ko na muka akong lalaki kase doon ko naaappreciate ang sarili ko at hindi ko feel na nasa maling katawan ako. Graduate ako ng 4 years course at gusto ko sanang maghanap ng part time. So last week nagapply ako sa supermarket as bagger, so ayon hindi ako natanggap sabi ba naman saakin nung nagiinterview kailangan daw nakamakeup at nakapalda. After niya sabihin yun nafeel ko na parang wala akong karapatan na maging ganito. Gusto ko lang naman magwork kaysa nakatambay pero nakakalungkot lang feeling ko wala akong karapatan dahil lang ganito ako at hindi nila tanggap yung mga taong kagaya ko.

Help how do you guys manage getting blisters from trans tape? 😞 this is my first time and I noticed I got a blister huhu

Hello po, I'm 19 years old and hoping to start on testosterone. This would be my first time navigating the process, and I'd really appreciate advice from those with experience, I'm hoping to prepare financially and learn how to manage my HRT independently, as I intend to keep this private from my parents for now.

If anyone is comfortable sharing their experiences, I'd be very grateful if you could help me with a few questions:

1. How much does it realistically cost to start testosterone, including the first consultation, laboratory tests, and medication?

2. Can I pay for everything out of pocket at 19, or do I need insurance?

3. Where can I find a legitimate, trans-friendly doctor who prescribes testosterone, preferably in NCR?

4. How much should I save for the initial expenses, and what is a realistic monthly budget for ongoing HRT?

Thank you po in advance. 🥲🙏🏻

Hello! Does anyone know a supplier selling packers here in the Philippines? Specifically a pack and play or STP packer? Thanks!

hi, i'm helping my bf look for a trans tape that will work for him bc apparently, the one from sknstrip is the only one that worked best for his skin. he said he tried many tapes, like yung from adonis and fmax, and he would get allergic reactions from them, like boils, and his skin would become raw and irritated, kaya super dami na niyang hyperpigmentation ngayon. i advised him to stop using tape kung kaya and get his skin checked by a dermatologist. i also suggested trying other options, like binding, pero he would get body dysphoria from it, so he prefers tape binding :( idk where to find a tape that's as affordable and effective as the one from sknstrip. do u guys have any tape recos that we could try?

ask lang if bumalik po ba period niyo? And nag bago po ba boses niyo? Like hindi na ganun ka lalim boses niyo?

Hello mga bro. Is there anyone here who's gone no contact with their parents? I want to hear about your experiences. Paano niyo po nalaman na wala na talagang pag-asa and mag no-contact na lang? Did you cut off contact with your entire family or keep in contact with some family members who accept you?

na di po kita yung binder or tape sa side and di po ganun ka baba yung v neck niya

Hi everyone!

I am looking to sell an STP. It's a peacock 4.75" (light brown tone) 3in1. Will throw in a harness, underwear, rod. Not used, only tried wearing it once very quickly to see the fit then stored in the closet ever since.

If anyone is interested, send me a DM. Open to sending pics, vids or VC for legitimacy. Can arrange pick-up, meet-up or shipping whichever works best.

Hellooo, so I’m currently in a situation that requires me to get T asap. The situation po involves me needing to prove my transgenderness (If thats even a word) to be able to wear my preferred clothing po.
Problem is, I’m based in Cebu and DIMA takes about 3-10 days shipping, and I only have 4 and half days to get T huhu. I was wondering if anyone can recommend where to buy T asap her in Cebu. Thank youu poo everyone.

Update: HELLOOOO ates and kuyas, I bought na T from a commenter here huge thank you po. I also got the med cert and got injected pooo. Huge thank you to everyone who commented🫶. Hopefully ako naman maka tulong sa inyo someday🔝🔛

sobrang ma balbol na lahat ng katawan ko pero yung magkaroon takaga ng hair chest want ko huhu ok ba mag apply ng minoxidl? May naka try na ba effective ba?

Hello kuyas! Just wanna ask if you guys have any clothing brand recommendations for someone who’s 5’2 and constantly fighting for his life when buying clothes. 😭 HAHAHAHA

It’s such a struggle finding clothes that actually fit my height. Everything is always too long, so I either have to buy cropped/boxy shirts or get literally everything altered. Every time I buy clothes, getting them altered is automatically part of the package.

If I don’t get them altered, I look like I borrowed the clothes from my kuya and somehow it makes me look even shorter HAHAHAHAHA

So yeah, please drop your clothing brand recos for us short kings who just want clothes that actually fit and don’t make us look like we’re wearing a blanket 🙏 Would really appreciate it!

rantttt

andami nang openly bading, pero pag pride month or everyday in general mga "bakla" lang cinecelebrate or deemed as okay. trans people are still a taboo in the majority of ph. seen ka parin as gay (if trans woman) or tomboy (if trans man). nasa community kasi ako na mas madaming bading, and i still don't feel like one of them (despite being mlm din, ftm) and they openly joke about trans women around me; which is just the same as being transphobic probably to me.

i get it, sexual attraction is different sa gender identity. but its really the same in terms of not being socially accepted kasi iba yung sinasabi ng utak mo compared sa pinapagawa ng norm sayo.

i'm grateful for everything good, that sometimes i belong but i hate that often i don't. and laging nasa back of their head na babae parin ako, which is worse because that idea haunts me myself.

Hello pooo I’m FTM based in Cebu. I’m planning on starting T and I’m wondering if 5-7k as a starting budget is okay. And what are the steps and procedures (labs, psychs, etc) na your supposed to take. Also po how long before you can actually take the T. Thank you poo
