Ftm Hrt - Tumblr Posts
Hi, I'm 25 and debating starting male-to-female HRT. However, I'm scared that HRT won't help me at all. It seems like HRT does so little after puberty, especially by the time one gets in their 20s. I'm really scared that I'll just end up being someone in a male body, but with breasts. Is there anything you can say to someone having this fear? Thank you, and sorry, I suspect this is a silly question.
Actually, the claim that HRT doesn’t do much after puberty is a myth. I started when I was 31 years old and now I’m 35. =)
It’s never too late to transition!
One Month on T!!!!!!
So I hit one month on t a couple days ago and changes are thus:
more body hair everywhere especially on my stomach and arms but I'm a little more fuzzy everywhere
enough facial hair that i felt the need to shave it and did with success
deeper voice but not that much deeper and not since about two to three weeks
I'm not exhausted anymore which is nice. I'm glad that effect has worn off
maybe a little hungrier
One more thing. I would like to put forth an unforeseen effect of t-gel specifically. I have not had a stable nigh time routine in years, and the fact that I'm taking t-gel every night and it's something I can't just skip has turned it into an actual routine for me. I brush my teeth and wash my face, then shower, moisturize my face, t-gel, and pajamas. I feel so much better in the evenings and it is so much easier to fall asleep it's insane.
got a referral to the endocrinologist (hormone doc/gender clinic)!
havent gotten back to me, but ill update y'all when it happens!!!
Just to show how uneducated some people are, my grandfather told me I start doing HRT that wouldn't be able to 0rg4$m
:/
Ya know, I now realize , being called a twink on the internet when I was like 13-15 years old basically as soon as I came out as trans ,, kinda weird ,, I didn't even realize I that was weird ,, but uhhhh ,, das weird
Why is Luigi gender goals
Testosterone gel not make my paws dry as hell after I put it on: Fucking impossible challenge
whos the whore who moans and why do I need to replace her with therapy?
I have an appointment to speak with an endocrinologist (hormone doctor) in May‼️
Hopefully that means I can get on testosterone soon‼️
my HRT (testosterone) screening appointment has been delayed by a month after being on a wait list for a year and a half
but prior to that, i was told by doctors over and over for around four years that i wasn't not allowed to apply for gender-affirming care because of my age. my doctor at the time was incredibly transphobic (she refused to use correct pronouns and name even after I legally changed it)… they refused everything, including puberty blockers, which would have significantly decreased the possibility of my disability developing.
safe to say i'm angry
all up, it's been about six years of begging.
tw suicide
.. i don't want to know what will happen if they push it back again. considering holding onto getting HRT is one of two threads stopping another suicide attempt.
HRT is SO IMPORTANT.
guys. friends. pals. i start T on thursday.
Not to be annoying but here is a gofundme for HRT
I can't access HRT through the NHS so I have to go private which is pretty expensive. If you want to (and have the means to of course) it would mean a lot if you could donate.
Please rb this so it reaches more people, thank you :)
An urgent warning for all my queer homies: there are malicious, false ads circulating on social media for HRT supplements designed to gather a list of trans people and their addresses.
Along with just being useless sugar pill supplements. Fun all around, right?
A good reminder to be vigilant about where you seek out gender affirming care, especially if you live in a suppressive state like I do. Source your supplies and care from reputable queer support groups and always do your research before doing business with an unfamiliar supplier.
It sucks ass that anyone has to be this vigilant, but this is where we are unfortunately. Be aware, not scared. That’s always been my policy, and I will do my part to keep the community informed when something dangerous arises. Stay safe, y’all.
For my perimenopause transmascs waffling about starting T
42 year old transmasc enby, only recently decided to start T because I'm fucking tired of getting misgendered as a woman - I had my first shot a little more than two weeks ago.
Meanwhile, I've been dealing with perimenopause symptoms for more than two years - hot flashes at night, and other weird shit. I also had the vague notion that perimenopause was fucking with my mental health - in the past couple of years I've had to increase my brain meds to pretty high dosages, and I never was entirely happy with how they were working.
But it was also impossible to quantify how much of that could be perimenopause and how much was just Going Through It with:
Going no contact with my mom for being a fucking transphobe
Getting laid off in April
Parenting a neurodivergent 12 year old
Dealing with a resurgence of dysphoria and deciding to do more medical transition
And I'm here to tell you all that shit about T MAKES YOU ANGRIER is just. Like. Scaremongering????? Because 2 weeks in I feel more clear-headed than I have in the last three years.
Which honestly feels pretty:
For real, I didn't realize the amount of brain fog I was dealing with until I woke up a couple days ago and went... wait. Why is everything.... not foggy????
So. Yeah. 42 year old transmasc enby who waffled for years about T, have struggled with my mental health for a few years and assumed it wasn't related to perimenopause, and two weeks into doing T I feel more clear-headed than I have in a long-ass time.
Fun game unlocked: re -deciphering my mental illness symptoms
Am I exhausted because of T? Or am I exhausted because I spent the day applying to jobs and depression is hitting different?
Yesterday: THREE WEEKS ON T WHY NO SHOULDER GROWTH????
Today: (puts on shirt, sleeves are borderline too tight) ....huh
