I ask my best friend to do breast checks for me since he doesn’t see me as often and can tell me if he feels or sees growth that I can’t since he was there from very near the beginning 😂

of course! main thing is, talk to her, ask her what she needs from you. everyone’s different. what i’m about to say is what i appreciated, she might be different. i really appreciate when my gf notices changes. if she’s ever afraid to be somewhere, or anxious her presence in a place like a makeup aisle or a women’s clothing section, be there for her and affirm her right to be there (that’s kinda general transition stuff but still important).

if she’s on pills and forgetful, offer to remind her. if she’s on injections and needle-shy, offer to do them for her. also, don’t have any expectations of what her results will be. let her know that she’s beautiful, you dont want her to feel like her results are inadequate.

Oh for sure! Luckily shes been on hrt in the past so she knows what its like for her, but shes really sensitive about considering to present more femininely so i doubt the makeup thing will happen (shes also just butch). I guess my main worry is that shell see how fast t worked on me and will get discouraged that e works slower/more subtly? Im not sure how to comfort her if it doesnt go the way she expects

AYYYY SHES JUST LIKE ME, love a butch trans woman 🙏🏻 that is a tough part though, i would recommend just being there to support her, point out what changes *have* happened, and remind her that these things take time. its like puberty, it doesn’t happen in a day. if she compares herself to other trans women, remind her everyone’s different, and she shouldn’t measure her progress by another woman’s results. if she compares it to T, i think reminding her they’re different is important
