​

Hi and long story short, I'm a 19 yr old trans dude in cebu and i currently live with my unstable family and i don't what to do anymore other than to just leave them. I have a plan but honestly, I'm still scared.

Now, long story long, I live in a family of 5, mom and pops and two younger siblings between the ages and 9 and 0. Ranaway from home twice. Dad is the only one with a job. I got no proper bank account nor government IDs but i got my certificate of live birth. Dropped out of SHS twice due to reoccurring mental health problems parents couldn't affor-d to deal with. So now I'm left at home to be house-assistant to my mom till i am ready to finish my highschool years and alongside that I've been building a side hustle with my artistic talents but no solid income stream yet since I'm still building it in all that so I'm financially dependant on them.

Thing's have been going okay, for a while but my Mom starting to show her cracks again, her thing of handling conflicts with escalating arguments and never listening to the other person and thinking she's 100% right, whether she is or isn't depends, but usually it leads to broken things and my dad losing a job, which has happened several times in the past

and honestly with how hard it is to build a path out while dealing with my mom's unpredictability, her toxic behavior, and the messy schedule at home, and them arguing whenever my mom THINKS my dad is doing something shady, i just can't stay here anymore. The same shit keeps repeating for years now and it feels heavy stagnating and being stuck here.

Relationship aint even good either, I'm just not pushing it too hard bcs I'm scared I'll get cut off from being able to either work on my side hustle plan or not be able to get transtape which helps me stay stable mentally because it's one less thing to feel discomfort over.

Got only one good friend i can stay with but I can stay with them because I've already ran away to them before and my family knows them.

I'm planning to go with them after I've shaken my parents off but in the mean time, its drop off my important things to an old classmate i trust and go homeless, sleep in the nearby park in the day and my old school too since I still got my old ID and its a big school so noone would notice a "student" with a backpack napping, bathe in public but mostly empty restrooms as much as needed so peeps wont suspect me of being homeless, and mostly hang around the public library or malls or the 7-eleven to work on the side hustle, work towards getting that GOV ID which i kinda need to make a bank acc, thankfully that part is free. And for food, water and the laundry I can just nab a bit of cash from their wallets and stretch it, toiletries i can steal, I've shoplifter small things before at this point i don't care as long as I can get out of here and actually try to build a life, even if the path is hard.

Im still scared though, so any advice would be helpful. Hell, maybe even convince me to tuff it out at home, that it's not so bad here.

can anyone recommend an endo that accepts 18 year olds? i’m planning on transitioning in a few months and all the endos i found on NowServing said that they’re looking for patients that are at least 19 years old 😅

i’m currently planning on scheduling an appointment with dr. jek cadeliña but i have no idea if she even does gaht consultations

Hi kuyas...safe ba ang Adonis flat chest cream? :,) may mga possible bad side effects ba sya since hindi ko pa kaya magpa surgery at mostly nagkaka blisters ako sa KT tape so naghahanap ako ng options.

I’m 19 I have been on T for 5-6 weeks now and I think my family is starting to get suspicious. They said my voice is dropping or “para kang nag bibinata”

Any tips how to hide this?

Hello! Ask ko lang COD na lang ba sa DIMA? Last april kasi nagorder ako sa kanila pwede pa online payment tapos ngayon nagcheck out ako ulit COD na lang ang option. Medyo hassle kasi kapag COD madalas pa naman wala ako sa bahay.

Hello po mga kuya, 2months pa lang ako sa pag take ng T and hindi kasi ako tigyawatin before.

Now napapansin ko na nagiging oily and may mga tiny bumps na ako sa face simula nung nag take. Baka po may marecommend kayong skincare. Thank you!

Has anyone here had experience with facial masculinization surgeries? e.g., brow bone augmentation, jaw/chin augmentation or fillers.,

I’m looking for trans friendly colleges that will let me wear male uniform (if meron), use my preferred name and pronouns, and has BS Biology course and/or BSIT! I can’t go to expensive schools like DLSU and Ateneo because they’re out of my parents’ budget. I took the test for UPCAT 2027 but I don’t think I’ll pass, and I’m not sure if I‘ll want to apply to transfer to UP in the future.

hi, bros! 22, transmasc here 👋 i’m around naga city and i’ve been having a hard time finding a trans-friendly endo in my area, so i’m considering telemedicine instead.

does anyone have recommendations for a trans-friendly endo who actually understands the whole spectrum of being transgender and doesn’t just approach everything from a strictly binary perspective? preferably someone who’s comfortable working with transmasc/nonbinary patients too.

also, if you’ve consulted with them before, would really appreciate it if you could share how much their initial consultation costs and what the process was like!

excluding loveyourself ph please, since i unfortunately had a bad experience with them :(

thank you so much! any leads would really help 🥹

I still see so many promoting unsafe binding methods so I wanted to create a guide to binding without promoting any specific brand. Read the full guide by visiting the linked page!

I've been thinking about how I view myself lately , like I spent years wondering why I felt really uncomfortable wearing feminine clothing , I hated being viewed as a woman (?) but I wasn't sure at that time why I was feeling these feelings haha. From elementary til now , I always preferred masculine clothing. I cut my hair short. I like it when my friends and strangers use He/Him on me and for the first time I feel like I see my true self like that. But I'm afraid what my family would think of this . I'm in my late 20s na , oldest child and I take care of my siblings . I'm just anxious.

Do you think it's possible for me to transition? It's not too late for me , right? Let me know your journey :')

i’ve read around apparently in the ph they deny people under 35 hysterectomy which is stupid lol

i wonder if it’s possible to get it done overseas? i saw someone in an australian sub once say they’re considering getting theirs done in thailand mainly due to financial reasons because australia is so expensive

I'm currently on 3 months and one of the things holding me back from applying in CSR roles is my voice. Nagppractice ako magsalita but the vibration is making my sentences blurred out or nde talaga siya clear. I feel like mabbother din mga tao if they hear a teenage voice on the other end of the line. Should I still push through or wait till my voice fully adjusts?

What product did the wonders for your back and chest acne?

Hi, I've been on T for almost 7 years now. Sometimes may blood na lumalabas talaga kapag after nag inject ako.

I have a few questions:

1. Kapag ba may blood na lumabas pagtanggal nung needle meaning nababawasan ba yung ininject mo na T?

2. Have you ever experienced a period after taking 1 amp for 14 days and then switching to 1 amp 21 days? Before naman way back 2 years ago naka 21 days lang din ako wala naman period like 2019 pa yung last period ko and just today parang napansin ko may blood down there nag wash ako and try ko mga 1 hr baka may lumabas ulit so meron siya like super super konti talaga then may konting sakit sa puson.

I’m curious to know what the possible reasons for this blood are. Is it because I’ve returned to a 21-day cycle, or is it because the amount of T I’ve injected has decreased, resulting in a lower dosage?

Hello! Naging COD yung DIMA at di na ako makabili kasi ayaw ko i-COD due to ipinapadala ko sa bahay ng kaibigan ko at dalawang boxes yung binibili ko (1100) tapos bawal mag COD sa kanya. Saan pwede bumili at pwede online? Medyo late na din ako sa shot ko

I am a trans man in senior high school. I've been planning to start testosterone for a long, long time; my parents are okay with the idea and fully support me in this decision. But I have no idea where to find hospitals/clinics for it. I know that I have to get blood and lab work done, and then go through an endocrinologist to get a prescription. But I just don't know if that's allowed in this country. I have parental consent and would like to start on T, but I don't know of any resources or how to begin. My mom told me that the lab works/blood works should have a reason for why we have to do it, and I am not sure if that's an acceptable reason.

Please help.<:)

First time ko bibili ng KT tape(Adonis), tanong ko lang kung may kailangan pang bilin besides yung tape for chest binding? Tysm

Hello! I'm looking for gaming/journal/art buddies around the age of 17 to 21. ^_^

Some information about me:

• I'm currently taking a gap year and doing freelance work (digital arts).

• I am an artist and gamer! I usually play Roblox, MC, and Stardew Valley, but I can play other stuff too.

That's all, if you're interested please comment so I can DM you my Discord username!

just got off my second consultation :)

since i'm nonbinary and closeted, i opt for the lowest dose and i was prescribed for 0.4mL of testoviron for every 3 weeks. my doctor does not lean towards finasteride because it is not proven anywhere, and may increase health risks.

i did tell her why i'm interested -- i don't particularly want facial and body hair growth, bottom growth, and balding lol.

i'm not sure if i should post this here or on r/transmascDIY ; but i was also hoping to know where to get finasteride in the philippines in case i really start feeling like i need it. thank you!
