If I remember my medical information right I believe hip bones have a lot of blood vessels and nerves around them.  It makes it more complicated and dangerous to mess around with.

That is part of it but also it's a pretty delicate system of balance and leverage. Replacing the hip or modifying it will drastically change how a person's legs connect to their torso. Not really a good thing to mess with.

from my study it looks like the reason xx hips are supposed to be bigger is because they have a larger central hole for babies (not always true obvy). I don't need that. I feel like if it's gone i won't have big hips any more. there are tons of nerves in the sockets themselves and so i'm scared to mess with that... if i designed it, i would find a way to shrink that hole and i think that would fix the problem.

Best thing to make your hips look slimmer is to lose weight and gain muscles on the upper body,
the opposite of what a MTF would do. Look at female swimmers, not even olympic ones,
they've got a "male" look.

Of course, if you lose weight, your waist is more defined, but a straight cut men's shirt can fix this,
but you'll lose even more on the lower body. Also, your breasts will diminish in size.

That's true. And arm-torso focused swimming would be a good springboard to returning to weightlifting (I have to be ridiculously careful with my exercise regime. I do what someone else deems normal and I'll be in bed for 1-3 days).

Well, with weight lifting you should be suiting it to your abilities, not what someone else's norm is. Take it slow and then build up.

Its one reason why its important to start off with a trainer who can help you out with that.

no, i meant like i can't do an exercise tape. I can sometimes walk a whole mall but then i'm done for the day. I don't need a trainer, i need to get back into pool therapy. Of course there comes the pesky gender issue again...


UPDATE: I messaged the maintainers of the unmentionabled community and sent a link, asking them to check it out and telling them i felt bullied by this. Yes. Apparently I'm 4 and don't know hwo to stand up for myself.

Hi Lane ( nice name btw ^^)

I have really scoured thru your posts and can identify with your stories...only in my case its the reverse!

I feel like I am and should have been a woman...but at the same time I really enjoy my penis aswell..I wouldnt want to miss it! Furthermore I can be quite a maleish sleezebag when it comes to cleaning the house ^^

But for the most I feel like Im a gal.....and thats why I secretly and shamefully like the looks of some ->-bleeped-<-s...too bad its such a term related to pornopgraphy but when I look at pictures I think '" Omg..I feel like that!" I dont think I really have sent the message to my gendertherapist in Amsterdam before she cancelled my appointments , because I was unsure, not a transsexual and not willing to take surgery

Even though I want bigger hips and some small-sized cup breasts

Its really annoying and it pissed me off so much!

Oh well..its really something I will tell a future girlfriend about when I get near a relationship

This summer I was on vacation with a group and a lesbian girl fell in love with me...so obviously I have some sort of radiation....sadly my male body made it for us both difficult to continue the affair into something larger.

I just really want to say to you.....I already like you tons and your not the only one feeling like this ( even though I am "male")!
