Thanks! Not sure I'm actually ready to start working with a native speaker, but I appreciate the offer (and will take you up on it when I can say more than "Hola")! Sweet. I'll add it to the list. Thanks!

Awesome. Thanks!

Nice. Congrats!

Thanks! I'll check it out.

Thanks, Shadri! Specifically, I would like to focus on Spanish. Do any of the programs you mentioned have good programs for that language in particular?

I'm pondering a language-learning side quest for the next NF challenge. Anyone have any experience with any of the programs/apps/software/etc. out there? Recommendations? Cautions?

This made me LOL.

Side note about wearing a binder while working out... You'll obviously get super sweaty at the gym and if you don't feel comfortable leaving it off while working out (I didn't), a bit of antiperspirant under the squished bits will prevent heat/friction related rashes from forming.

Thanks! Nope. I've never had a hard time in the locker room or bathrooms (I also made the transition while on the job. I work with a lot of "production" guys and no one gave me any grief.) No odd looks. Nada. You'll find exceptions to the rule, but I've found that most dudes don't talk or hang out in the bathroom. You get in, get your business done, and then you get out. Locker rooms are similar in that no one is every really checking anyone else out, but a bit different in that many guys tend to "let it all hang out" so to speak. For the record, it is perfectly okay to change in the stall of the restroom portion of the locker room. Many guys do this and no one will wonder about it. I change in the main area, but I have several cis guy friends who change in the stall. Good luck with your surgery! Exciting stuff. See the note above. You can obviously change/shower at home, but you can also use the stall in the bathroom portion of the locker room. No one will wonder about it.

Hey, thanks!

Brand new to NF and discovered this thread within the first couple of minutes. It is awesome sauce. I'm a trans dude... on T and post top surgery. I no longer workout at the gym, but when I first started my journey I had to negotiate the "I was using that locker room and now I'm using this locker room" waters. I made the switch pre-T and pre-surgery, so nothing had changed about me physically when I entered the men's locker room for the first time. I told management so that they could change the "F" on my membership to an "M", but that's the only announcement I made. It was a bit like ripping off a bandaid; I just sort of did all my announcing at once and as quickly as possible.
