RULES

Idk if this doesn’t count as a meme cuz I’m asking for advice too sorry in advance!

So for context we’re in college, I’ve been friends with my partner for like a year and a few months ago we’ve started dating. About a month ago they came out to me about feeling like a man and being trans masc, and I’m totally fine with that and we’ve been getting closer.

I asked them about names and pronouns and they said they/them when we’re in private because they’re too nervous about using he/him and they’re still in the closet to the public.

I guess my question is how do I help them feel more comfortable about all this and be a good boyfriend to them? I’m almost completely new to trans masc stuff so I thought I’d ask for more perspectives.

I went into the men’s bathroom to pee! First time at work…

I tried out trans tape again with all of your guyses suggestions and it worked wayyy better!!! But this part on the bottom side still looks like it’s not binding well, does anyone have suggestions?? Maybe I just need to stretch the bottom tape more next time. But it’s always the bottom of it that looks the most like boobs. (Side note: I passed at the gym today!!)

I (24nb/masc) feel like I don't look that fem in the first place but people always comment on what a cute "girl" I am despite looking less fem at work (or any time I go out within the past year) aka binding, wearing a tie and vest and not wearing make up. The person who commented whom said I was cute (25-30m works as a chef, while I'm a bartender) and in passing to another line cook/chef (whom everyone loves and has almost work at my work as long as I have and is our work grandpa) as I was going into the elevator. I usually don't like it when guys like me much because they feel like surface level crushes/horniness and I'm somewhere on the ace-spec...but this time feels maybe different because I've worked along side him. Or maybe it's because I've only recently admitted to myself that I may be more masc than I previously thought (aka may want to do hormone treatment because I'm done looking fem all the time and am getting excited at the thought of doing T).

Tldr: coworker called me cute, and it didn't feel weird even though it usually does (I'm ace-spec, nb but apparently don't look it to some). Is it maybe because I recently admitted that I'm more masc than I thought and considering options to reduce dsyphoria or is it maybe because I simply like knowing I'm not completely abhorrent to people despite not trying much to look too presentable, and should I feel more weirded out by it?
