It's honestly crazy that discussion around testosterone HRT skews so much towards the beginning stages of it (to the point that you have dozens of guys thinking their transition is "failed" if they don't pass by like a year in lol) and what the initial changes of the first couple of months to years look like, like the classic laundry list of those early basic changes like bottom growth, voice drop, etc, when IMO literally none of that compares remotely to the depth and intensity of the long term total masculinization you start to experience like 3-5+ years in.

shout out to all my middle school weird girls who grew up and are still weird but are no longer girls

No one I know has had the same experience as me getting on hrt and honestly it's a damn shame

#yeah like I walked into planned parenthood and said hey I’m trans #I signed a couple papers saying I understood what estrogen does #and then I had a prescription #getting my antiandrogen was harder cause I can’t do spiro with my migraines #and eventually I had to switch to my current doctor who is really good

What is or isn't a slur can be highly contextual, y'all.

"Jonny Sims bummed a fag off my ma" doesn't contain a slur, but "What are you, some kind of fag?" does.

"Queer studies", "the queer community" and "I'm queer"? Not a slur. Some bigot calling you a "dirty queer"? Slur.

"Be gay, do crimes" and "He's gay" ≠ slur, but "Ew, that's so gay" = slur.

In conclusion, stop buying into this fucking "q slur" bullshit. Queer people talking about the queer community aren't using it as a slur any more than a gay man calling himself gay is using that term as a slur.

Shinjuku Boys (1995).

[ID: Tatsu, a trans man, discusses how he felt when menstruation began in his youth. He has styled dark hair, and is wearing a black suit with an open shirt collar. The interviewer asks, “But when your period came, did you feel like a woman?” Tatsu replies, “It came when I was sixteen. Everyone else was getting theirs, and I was the only one who didn’t. I thought I wouldn’t get it, and I was so relieved. [I thought] it’s a mistake then, I really am a man.” END ID.]

Shinjuku Boys (1995). Tatsu, a transgender man, jokes with his barber about his changing appearance, and his newly masculine features.

TRANSCRIPT:

BARBER: So you go regularly to the hospital for your hormone injection? TATSU: [nods] BARBER: Does it hurt? TATSU: Not at all. BARBER: You have more facial hair. It must be the hormones. You’ll get a moustache soon. TATSU: I’ll look distinguished! They’ve made quite the difference. I never thought I’d change so much. Most customers say I’m like a man. BARBER: Really? TATSU: [laughing] They say, “You look like a man. You’re not cute.” BARBER: [laughs]

END TRANSCRIPT.

First pic is after the adhesive finally peeled off, still a little sticky and my nipples were still a little scabbed. This is over the week after the adhesive came off and exactly a week since my nipple packages came off. I’m so happy with how it’s looking.

The scar tissue has gotten much smaller. I need to massage the incisions twice a day. I use a vitamin C, E & B5 lotion as specified by my surgeon to massage them with. It breaks up the scar tissue under the skin. The area is gonna be pretty delicate for at least the first year.

dysphoria is a very common hallmark of transness, sure, but gender euphoria is an almost completely universal and therefore much more reliable signifier and frankly i think we should say ‘if the idea of being a different gender than the one you were born assigned as makes you feel happy/better about yourself you’re trans’ instead of telling people ‘the way you know you’re trans is if your body feels like a prison and your genitals make you hate yourself’

Just got to see my nipples for the first time. It’s bizarre. I still don’t think my brain has processed it yet. Been putting vitamin A and D ointment on them, but the sutures are already out. Just gotta wait for the adhesive to eventually come off the incisions which they said it should over the next week or so.

The image below does contain some blood, bruising, scabbing and the incisions. It’s definitely jarring so here’s the warning with a read more.

Post op image. Incisions, blood, drains, and my “nipple packages” that protect my nipples for the first week after surgery.

Warning, if you think any of this could be triggering don’t click read more. It is a little body horror.
