As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

CW: Genitalia
Tried tucking for the first time (in private). I got some compression panties from Tomboy X. They are expensive, but seem to work. Unfortunately, I got an erection from gender euphoria that ruined the tuck, but I was able to try on some pants that I had gotten and really like but couldn’t wear due to the fit as it regards the untucked crotch.
Also, starting to do voice training exercises. It’s neat to feel and manipulate the larynx, although I can see how it’s going to take a lot of practice and effort to sound natural/consistent. Got laser hair removal scheduled as well. Just going to be $75/session for the the face/neck, which isn’t bad at all.
Regardless of the broader context, I am happy to be making consistent transition progress.
What resources are you using? Because I tried one video, and I think I’m definitely doing something wrong. I couldn’t get my larynx into a stable position, it would always shift, and then I got hiccups after trying to talk.
If you have the time, I would really recommend this livestream series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymmGg1K09QI
The big plus point of this is that you can watch other beginners (that don’t already have developed their muscles) try the exercises and get immediate feedback on it. That’s a really valuable thing that should help you with avoiding common beginner mistakes.
