#transmasc hrt

[d1rtypuppy]

i had the most profound gender euphoria i’ve ever experienced today. i was applying oil to my chest so i could take off my transtape in the shower, and i was just kind of scrolling on my phone, passing the time a little. occasionally i’d glance at myself in the mirror while waiting a few minutes to let the oil sit.

i saw my growing body hair, my light dusting of stomach hair that continues to fan out towards my sides and the thickening happy trail creeping downwards, and i felt so overwhelmingly excited that it’s starting to thicken and spread.

suddenly, i had this thought… “i love being me.” and honestly, i’ve never felt that way before in my entire life. i started crying genuine tears of joy for the first time ever. i could barely stand to look at myself in the mirror for a few minutes, but not because i hated what i saw. no, this time it was hard to look at myself because i was overwhelmed to find that i didn’t hate what i saw.

then i found myself wondering if this is what transphobes are so afraid of; a 20 year old trans kid reduced to tears of joy on a random saturday afternoon in front of his bathroom mirror because things are finally starting to feel right, my body is beginning to feel like my own? because for once i want to live?

it has been a very long time since i have imagine a future for myself but i’m starting to.

what a beautiful experience being trans is. no one will ever take it from me. death before detransition.

i really didn't think my sexual orientation would change any on testosterone but previously i was gay with a passive appreciation for women and now i'm fully just bisexual. i was warned by multiple people. i didn't believe them. i should have.

Hrt emojis. Lots of Hrt emojis. There are so many trans flags. Another batch is coming soon.

Check out this section of The Transgender Dictionary with resources on testosterone and its effects! I don't know if I've specifically made a post regarding this section, so here you go. I recently updated it so that there is a bit more information on different ways that you can take T, along with more links at the bottom for further research.

If you know of anything I should specifically update/add/etc, let me know. If you have anything for any other sections as well- just let me know via ask or DM or whatever. I'm only one person, and the more people who help me out with stuff to add/update, the better this resource can become!

Does anyone understand how the fuck this works because I do not. It’s somehow the only thing keeping me from being in severe pain constantly. What

[hernymills]

in theory i always figured i wouldn't mind if my hairline receded on t bc that would be like gender affirming

in practice gdi my head is already fricken l o n g

I wrote this back when I was six months on HRT, and now I'm almost at eighteen months. This was originally for an HRT zine that never came to fruition. It's a special one to me. I love testosterone!!!

10.5 months on T

This is going to be very personal so feel free to keep scrolling! :)

First off, no my sexuality has not changed, I am still aceflux. (If you know what I am referring to, you get a cookie)

My libido and hunger has calmed down lately which is great.

Over the few months I am on T, I have noticed that I lost weight and put on new weight on different parts of my body. My thin waist has vanished that had made my body somewhere between a pear and hourglass shape. My torso has adapted to a more rectangular shape, especially after my boobs had shrunk and my shoulders had widened.

I am losing weight and gaining muscles much faster and rapidly since I go on walks everyday and bring fire wood inside.

My overall confidence has boosted to a point where I no longer feel the need to ALWAYS wear a binder outside my home.

I sweat more often and am rarely cold anymore.

My beard growth and acne are stabilising as well, but it will definitely take more time.

I am on a high dose of Testosterone and my surgeon appointment is next month.

The gynecologist was surprised to learn I wanted an IUD because apparently another trans guy just recently told her, very confidently, that he can't get pregnant because T makes you infertile.

Guys. Boys. Dudes. Folks... Don't play with fire.

Testosterone can inhibit some of the other hormonal levels that trigger ovulation, making ovulation less predictable. Many peoples’ ovaries will release eggs less frequently, if at all. However, this doesn’t mean that ovulation entirely stops if someone is taking testosterone. This means that a person on T can still be fertile and get pregnant while on testosterone.

yesterday was my 5 months on t!!! omfg. crazy that it’s already been that long, honestly.

man. hrt is literally one of the best things to happen to me ever. tonight i watched the video of my voice after my first t-shot and holy shit!!! my voice is SOO much deeper in comparison. i was like oh my god that was ME?

anyway here’s a lot of the changes i’ve noticed. this is probably going to be SOOOOOO long and DEFINITELY so much information about me so be warned.

recently my body hair has also been really growing in and it makes me SOO euphoric. i am shedding a bit more hair from my head now, which is fine, i have THIIICK hair so it’s honestly helping. my beard area is starting to grow in more hair, and my mustache is getting a bit thicker but is still very much teenage boy mustache… however i am too attached to shave and i Hate the feeling of it as it grows back in.

my chest has deflated a bit. i can actually look at it and touch it. i can even go a while without wearing transtape, which before hrt i could NOT do. chest dysphoria has always been a huge problem for me, so this has been a HUUUGE weight off my shoulders.

my back acne was REALLY bad for a while but i have gotten it mostly under control with the help of exfoliation and castile soap. my chest has a bit of acne, and i have gotten a few pimples on my leg ?? and even one on my TOE. which i had no clue was even possible. my face is usually not super super bad luckily.

and i am LOVIINNGG all of it. truly. the only thing is that. guys. i am like a dog in HEAT. holy fuck, for a little bit there, i was getting off like SEVEN times a day, and no. i am not even exaggerating…. i can’t even sleep through the fucking night without waking up once, sometimes TWICE, to jerk off. i’m going a little insane. but that’s okay, i’ve discovered i actually CAN make noise while touching myself. before t i was extremely quiet and i just kind of accepted that’s just the way it was, so i was genuinely so surprised to find that i can make noise now!!! i didn’t know this could happen but i assume it’s just dysphoria/comfort related. my t-dick is also one of my favorite changes and i love it. that’s my little guy.

anyways, i feel way less dysphoric and overall very happy. i’m starting to learn to love myself and like what i see in the mirror. so thanks, gender affirming healthcare :3

ALRIGHT WELL. sorry for the insane rambling. this is probably incomprehensible, i’m just too excited. so, if you made it to the end of this post, i offer you a kiss or a hug or a high five if you choose to accept (air versions of all of these available !) :-)

the craziest thing about being transmasc or a trans man is that people LOVE to say you’re gonna look ugly, gonna turn ugly etc. and personally for a while i bought into this nonsense. but one day i decided fuck it, decided to transition and you know what happened? i still retained the most handsome parts of the person i was before. but i looked happier. i looked more beautiful, more handsome, prettier, stylish, hot. because i finally looked like me & so much happier and confident. anyway, this is just to say - go transition dude, if you’re hesitating. you will only look even more handsome & beautiful, fuck their propaganda.

[genderqueerdykes]

to everyone who has been talked out of testosterone HRT because it will make you "scary": no it will not. testosterone isn't "scary". masculinization isn't "scary". being masculine or a man isn't "scary". it's just another way to be a person. testosterone HRT is a good thing. it helps many people. if you want to take it, take it. don't let anyone else tell you not to because it "scares" them. it's not happening to them. their fears don't matter to you. it's happening to you. it's your choice.

[the-transgenda-agenda]

Can someone explain to me where the idea that bottom growth is painful? Its literally not? I have never understood this. I've seen it pop up as a reason why some people are hesitant to go on hrt but like???? What???
