Can't tell if oop is transman or transwoman or cis guy on hrt. No matter which one they are still bi and should just learn to accept it.

cis guy on hrt

Why would they be on hrt

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

maybe they're a twitch streamer

The same reason anyone would be: because their current body doesn't match their gender identity and they want to change that. This person just happened to start inside the same arbitrary social category as their destination.

I'm confused

The word cisgender (often shortened to cis; sometimes cissexual) describes a person whose gender identity corresponds to their sex assigned at birth, i.e., someone who is not transgender.

If they're taking hrt it sounds like they'd want to change their gender

Just as some AMAB (Assigned Male At Birth) men want to look more masculine and will work out at the gym or take testosterone supplements, some AMAB men are femboys and may temporarily take feminizing HRT to look less masculine.

Both are trying to change their bodies to better fit their gender identity, and femboy is clearly a different identity from gym bro, but they are both male gender identities.

What hormones would a gym fembroy take though?

What would some of those reasons be?

Low to no sexdrive and they want to have one

Trying to stop or slow down the progression of male pattern baldness

Loss of muscle mass.

To fix low testosterone

Maybe they are not trans but want to be more feminine looking.

since by straight they meant liking women I assume it's a transman no? I'm unsure too though
