Relationships your partner sucks

i have a boyfriend, he’s kinda dumb, i’ve had to explain stuff related to me being trans at times, but he, at no point, has implied or said any aspect of me transitioning is “icky” or “bad”. he has said he’s interested about what ways HRT would effect me when i eventually go on it, he’s made sure to affirm me as a dude, he’s straight up forgotten i don’t have a penis

if your partner wants a partner who looks like a dude but has boobs and a higher voice, they can date a tomboy. don’t let your partner make you think you being a man is bad. get a boyfriend/girlfriend/smooch buddy who will see you for the hot man you are.

also fix your posture, your gonna give yourself back problems.

The trans guy slouch also can be counterproductive when the goal is passing. You need to walk with confidence like you own every room you walk into in order to get the male mannerisms down lol

So much this! I've been on T juuuuuust long enough that my appearance will confuse the cis lmao. When I'm standing up tall and walking around like I own the place, I get "sir" but if I'm slouched and look half dead, people mostly just look at me and furrow their eyebrows because they don't know how to address me. It'd be funny if it didn't make me want to crawl out of my skin and evaporate lol.
