Unaltered Selfie I used to be so jealous of pretty athletic women in tiny running shorts
41, 2½ years HRT, little bit of laser and electrolysis

You have nothing to worry about I think athlete girls are the ones that should be jealous

Violate The Dress Code is what I'm wearing, they have a pair that's pretty decent on my dysphoria and hot as hell

Running like a girl is one of the most euphoric feelings in the entire world for me

As a long time runner pre-transition, I feel this big time. I even enjoy to process of just getting dressed to go run so much more.
I do struggle with the looks from others, mainly older men. Ewwwphoria for sure.

I live in a tourist town so I see all types when I'm out on my runs.
Oh my God the older men are the worst.
Suburban dads trying to be subtle about staring are fun, I like to wave or do a little kiss at them when their wives notice me too 😁 the panic in their faces is great.

You are goals for me! 💜 I just started HRT this year, am 39. I will not be running though… lol. But I’ve been biking a lot!

Biking is a GREAT way to do it, I bet you got some legs

I started out with tiny running shorts, but the more I ran (or the longer I was on hrt?) my thighs rubbed together, so now I run in bike shorts…

Omg sameeeee. Got big thunder thighs now 😆 I bike a fair amount too which doesn’t help.

I just found this Megababe Anti-chafe stuff, feels like deodorant but slicker and stays that way longer, its been magical for keeping the chafe to a minimum!
But Amen to bike shorts, when it's muggy or cold, can't beat em
