The Clothes Make the Transman?

[Yew]

I have been on T just over a year, the first half on Androgel then switched to injections post hysto. I am relatively thin but muscular...wiry, I guess. In the past year I have gained about 10# but have virtually lost my ass, while my shoulders have broadened by about 1" overall. Any belly softness that was there is gone- a 6 pack is just a slight effort to achieve. I noticed the shoulder growth mostly after putting on a men's small dress shirt early this fall and finding it tight and the seams riding up high rather than where they belong; that was great because I didn't exercise much after the surgery in July and was afraid I'd waste away! The thigh area called 'saddle bags' is gone too though I never had much, it has really straightened out. My shoes have gotten a little tighter and I readjusted my ball caps to fit a little larger too. I have worn men's clothes easily always but do struggle to find 29x32 or longer pants that don't have saggy asses

Interesting! T is an amazingly powerful hormone. Thanks for posting.

It certainly is, and a true blessing for me, too!

i wear whats comfortable at home and no longer worry about clothing too much, I transitioned in 2006 physically, though have been living and dressing as male since l998..............in England its fashionable to wear tacky Christmas sweaters this time of year - I love them as they remind me of the ones my mum knitted when I was a kid - .in fact im now thinking of a whole new career posing for knitting patterns, lol!

I buy whatever I can in the men's section and try to work with it. The only deal is I don't dress up in expensive clothes/designer duds. The furthest I go is khaki pants with cowboy boots and a nice T shirt or a polo.

I know I can't be the only guy who doesn't dress up?

Nope, you actually are.

I have to dress up for work every day.
