#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.

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

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.

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.

Never forget that the purpose of transitioning is to make you happier not to make you pass!! You may never end up being able to pass but don’t let that take from your happiness.

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???

[castielfucks]

theres actually no rules to transitioning and youre allowed to want contradictory things for your transition. it's fine if you only want some of the changes that come with hrt and take preventative measures for the rest (like wanting bottom growth but not body hair or vice versa). you can want to have vagina AND a dick. you can be a woman and want top surgery, or wear a packer. you can be a man and want to have a pussy. you can change your transition goals one or a million times or not have any goals at all and just take things as they come or as they feel right.

there are no rules.

transsexual is not an old fashioned or outdated term. transsexual is not a term only used by transmedicalists, truscum and transphobic trans people. you do not have to like or use the term transsexual for yourself and no one is forcing you to, however you do have to be normal about other people using the term transsexual to describe themselves and their experiences.

people still use the term transsexual, transsexual is a term steeped in trans history and trans liberation because transness is not just about the gender binary but also about the sex binary. for many people transness is inherently related to their sex and they are trying to change their sex. sex is not an irrefutable, immutable fact and the sooner people accept that the sooner trans, nonbinary and intersex liberation becomes a possibility. I hate the sentiment that gender is a changeable social construct and sex is a biological fact because sex is also a changeable social construct.

stop buying into t_rf and transphobic rhetoric about sex.
