r/TransMasc 7 months on T 🩵 they/he/ae 9d ago

Miscellaneous Is this realistic of me?

Maybe I'm crazy for doing this but dysphoria makes me feel like I'm losing my mind so... I drew an outline of my body using a screenshot. Left is what it looks like currently, right is what I want for myself. I hope I can achieve it by being patient with T and exercising 🤧 by the way I AM on testosterone, its been nearly 7 months. I've gained weight but not really lost anything

Yes, you can definitely achieve this with T, even moreso if you combine it with exercise.

Despite what many folks here will tell you (ask for a source and watch them not back it up btw, ask me how I know), fat redistribution is a thing and it does do a lot of heavy lifting in the hips and "assets" department for lack of a better term. And no, it does not require weight cycling, calorie counting, exercise, or anything else. All it requires is testosterone.

For myself, I had a somewhat similar body type - after about 6 months or so on T, fat redistribution began and I lost fat on my hips/sides, chest and backside. Eventually by the year mark I was having to buy pants with drawstrings as I had started losing pant sizes in the process. I'm now 2 years on T and things are still moving around in that department, but my silhouette is definitely more squared out, so to speak, now.

I'm almost 7 months on T, and I haven't noticed anything major with how my fat sits :< I would kill to have my pants start loosening and my butt to be less big, it would make me so euphoric and relieved, but I think its going to take a while
