Re: athletics, I dunno! I think I'm getting a bit less strong *now* at 7 months but that's because my gym membership lapsed and the weather's so annoying. I did my best to eat plenty, like Alway indicated, and I still ended up losing 10 pounds to my surprise. Down to 170 now, which ain't bad at all for 5'11". It's got me worried about the nigh-anorexia I had back in high school.
In other words I'm glad I ate more because I definitely redistributed some fat, while losing some net! (I think a lot of it went to my butt, which I STILL don't get the appeal of...) Also I suddenly found loads more willpower for taking care of my body and largely maintaining my modest strength. I... hm. I always looked up to and wanted to be a *strong* woman, and I think I remain slightly above the average for men.
There's this streamer on Twitch, Willow, who gained 20 pounds of muscle on a lean frame (and it looks fantastic). Literally, goals. She's a pretty lesbian though and I'm only gay for exceptional women at this point. I still like men.
Trans-men very included <3
Maybe if I ever meet a toxic trans-man I'll change my tune, but all the ones I've encountered are so dang badass and nice. There's this one, a moderator and former sexworker, who's going off his hormones to have a child soon! That's like, Borderlands Torgue levels of badass right there. Ultimate manhood. Gosh >///<
