You should go put some input on my journal where I'm developing a full article on exercise for MtF.

And teenage magazines are good and all, except I always got depressed looking at all the girls in bikinis and crap, just made me sad that I wasn't right there with em.  Poisonous envy!

Yeah, makeup is easy to mess up on.  Luckily, some of us have natural talent when the time comes.
A gaff is a torture device.

Er... I mean, it's a tight pair of underwear used to tuck.

Haha yeah, but you'll have to get over that eventually!!!  There's always good advice on how to look and dress in those magazines

[ravenx]

i do makeup to a certain extent... lipstick and liner... mascara and eyeliner... and maybe some white theatric powder when im really trying for a look. oh... and i use a smaller swimsuit bottom...works perfectly...even when this one gay guy checked me(i was more than a little affended under any circumstances)

Im 20, and I have been binding properly for about just over half a year. I have started my therapy second appointment in just over a week. I have told everyone that matters to me, friends, family etc. I have been living a full time male for as long as I have had the choice to.

Thats me in a nut shell for you

[ravenx]

doesnt binding hurt? i walk and myne hurt... i have to change my way of sleeping as welll. but binding .... SCARRRRYYY THOUGHTTTT

Well that's another thing, most of those styles are meant for girls that actually have hips, ya know?
A lot of us younger women have great butts and small waists, but our hips just don't flare.
And, the styles are so thin and light that you can't get away with waist binding.
This is why the GOTHIC style is the best style for MtFs.  :-)

Woah, a smaller swim suit bottom?
Is it comfortable?
I used to buy a thong, cut half the back end off so it'd be a lot tighter and squeeze into it.  The pressure weas unreal and so was the chafing.  That's amazing!  I can't wait to go try it out:-p

I need a gf like you>.>

hehe, awesome work on breast binding!

Does it make it harder to breathe or anything?

exersise for m2fs?
isnt that the same as regular exersise?
personally i find some situps, crunches, aerobic exersises and running does just fine.... and you dont have to be trans to pound the tarmac...

I usually study to pass. Except for when it comes to my Lit class.

My Lit class is really really easy

Haha, and when I need to pass I just hit the gas and go faster^_^

It can become much more sophisticated than that, trust me.

[ravenx]

yeah... i cant do exersizes or i build my thighs and arms to something unusual... i stick with crunches for now. i seriously need a m2f exersize book that makes the perfect body without all the plastics and saline.

Hi RAVENX

I have only known you for a short we time, but as I read your posts I have a feeling that you got what is need to accomplish and attain your dream. If the hormones and what not has done their number on this old bat it should certainly work well for you. Just be patient..... Look at who is advising Patience to another, Mrs busy body here that can't get enough time in a day to get stuff done. "Itchy feet."

[shanetastic]

oh gosh Kalt, you must be on of those intense type of people at the gym where you stare and laugh at us people who know nothing

I have to agree with Rachael on this one, don't the basics work

[Rachael]

* Rachael doesnt do protein shakes, doesnt do lykra, doesnt do silly 'ragimes' designed by others.

i do wish to tone my body, i dont care if i loose strenght (already have) as long as i can still play combat sports, im happy.
'm2f' specific exesise ragimes simply segregate us futher, are you telling me an extersise ragime developed by a non trans person wont work for me? am i that alien?

thanx for the compliment. its unusual for me to get more than general critizism and or the stare( ur so uneducated in the ways) but maybe its because u dont kno me well... and some others think they do.  so i appreciate anything i can get... its much of a confidence booster for the rest of the day...thanx again.

Just maybe if there were to be a "mtf exercise" thing, that it might work better or more efficiently.

[Rachael]

how are we physiologically different to non trans people? dont we loose  and gain weight the same?
personally, my current 'cisgender' ragime is working fine, when ->-bleeped-<-rsise gets a slot on breakfast tv, let me know...
