hi Veeky Forums. i'm a mtf trans and unfortunately i'm still pretty bulky. i'm eating at around 700-800 cal per day in order to lose weight, but a large part of that is protein powder so i don't feel hungry the whole day.
do i need to keep my protein consumption as low as possible to lose muscle? like 20-30g per day? or is dieting and not exercising enough?
With the protein your taking, your slowing your progress of lossing the muscle (everyday movement/things you do like pick up objects is causing hypertrophy). Even though its very light hyperthrophy, you are still preventing maximum loss of muscle, sure you are lossing both due to the low calories, but the most efficient way would be to eat carbs (not fat as it increases test levels) at the 800 cals that you are taking in.

sounds right
so what's the limit on protein then? it's a bad idea to cut it out entirely, right?

You should seek help for your mental illness instead of going with it. You're a man. You're giving in to these urges and ideas instead of realizing that you can actually change. You are a man. Deal with it. Accept it. Strive to change. Stop riding society's victimhood and current le oppressed trend. Be real and be strong. Nobody's born the wrong gender. Unless you have a genetic disease, you are only fooling yourself and living like a fool.

no one is cutting their dick off because it's trendy

Then why don't you stop trying to be something you're not?
because it's the most effective treatment for gender dysphoria
i've been dealing with this for years and years. believe me, i went through just about everything else and hormone therapy is the only thing that's worked. it's real easy to say man up when you have no idea what living with this is like
