Urgh. I don’t even have huge hips but I do have a hip dip that can make them look bigger and it’s like the one thing I can’t really fix. I could get body masculinization surgery but I’ve never considered that as an option. I mean my hips will always be there and I’m not sure it’s even permanent. I just need to work out and manage my weight to try and keep from drawing attention to them.

Uneducated, on trans masc struggles, trans fems will basically say how easy we have it because testosterone takes care of everything. For many trans mascs that is far from true anyways, but here I am a guy that between T and my genes and natural height have been very lucky, and I still get misgendered on the phone and I will always have hips, even after I’m done with surgery.

Sigh. Anyways, no matter how many surgeries and how successful hormones on your body, it seems there will always be something.

Overall I’m thrilled with what T has and and all my surgeries have done. I’m a guy, I look like a guy, feel like a guy, am a guy, but I still struggle almost 12 years in.

@Melezioh Relatable, I was told that T may help me reduce some breast tissue but they kind of just feel slightly more square. Still getting top surgery to solve that dysphoria. I think the hip/waist dysphoria hasn’t even hit me yet because I’m too busy with the chest dysphoria and wanting to lose weight for other reasons that part of me just assumes it’ll come out in the wash lol

@ryker_rf5 yea, I feel that. Unfortunately when you fix one thing another thing does tend to emerge or become more prominent. It’s not that it wasn’t there, it’s just something else was worse. I’ve done what I can for most of my dysphoria through surgery and extended use of T so I’m left with what I can’t fix mostly. There will always be something, but things do improve greatly with say top surgery and changes on T and other surgery you start feeling gender euphoria, not just dysphoria, and that’s the best.
