FYI, B-12 comes from bacteria

Bacteria or not, my B12 levels were above normal range when I ate important quantities of meat, including organ meats. But, as I mentioned before, my iron was low which I found VERY strange!

My B12 levels and all of my bloodwork are normal, but I was taking a B12 supplement so I don't know if I would be deficient without it. I would personally eat meat before i would eat anything that contained factory farmed eggs.  The conditions that those egg laying hens are forced to live in is completely immoral.

Regardless of the fat you push around, you can't change your body type (ectomorph, endomorph and mesomorph) or shape (triangle, rectangle pear and apple). There just isn't much difference between male and female ectomorph rectangles like me- before or after HRT. At 5'10" 146 pounds, 36A, I'm a flatchested bean pole regardless of what I eat or don't eat. Change my clothes and people see what they want to see.

Actually in that picture, you are highlighting how important posture is.  Even discounting that your weight isn't the same in the two pics.  If you flipped the clothes around on the two pics,  they would look odd.

Actually my weight is identical in both pictures (taken a few weeks apart last summer, 3 1/2 years into a transition level HRT regimen). My female alter's different mannerisms aside, the picture shows that the same body can be perceived as male or female quite easily.

Well then I guess that swimsuit is nicely slimming.

As long as that body falls within the normal range for both where they overlap.  In that  ectomorphs have a significant advantage when transitioning.  Sadly there is no correlation with body type and gender dysphoria....
