Bottom growth was one of the first things I noticed too. The chafing was what made me notice it. I was already wearing men’s boxer briefs but I think I changed to regular boxers while I waited for the sensitivity to go down.
Have you been on the ftm reddit forum? Lots of us talk about it there (and many other transitioning topics) and non-binary people are always welcome there.
It’s like a big virtual support system, so I try to go in there every once in a while. Depending on the area you’re in, there might even be a support group you’d be interested in joining.
Unfortunately, most of the stuff I learned about transitioning was from Tumblr haha. Tumblr, Instagram, and Reddit. My gender therapist and my hrt doc are very nice and all — they just couldn’t remember to touch on everything.
Thank you for writing this!
