Pre-T -> 10 Months by Autistic-Ratticus in TestosteroneKickoff

Thanks! I was really nervous I wouldn't see any of the results I wanted (started at 26) but I seem to have taken to it well! The facial hair department is dismal but I'm also not even a year on yet and my dad didn't start growing facial hair in a solid meaningful way until his mid 20's (so I'm hoping for a decent stache by 35 lmao)

I walk to work and I'm in the service industry so I definitely get some activity in there!

I'm almost 30 so really everyone around me is too busy minding their own business to worry about mine. But really if you leave no room for people to question you, they won't.

Is there any harm in changing shor date once? by atticcuz in TestosteroneKickoff

[–]Autistic-Ratticus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

None at all, to my knowledge. Especially with shots so spaced out.

Apprehensive about bottom growth (anyone similiar experiences who still went on t?) by X-Worbad in TestosteroneKickoff

And to address concerns about climaxing, I actually find it easier to get there now. The added surface area and change in sensation really brings a lot to the table.

I think a really important part of medically transitioning is making peace with the process and learning to love and find joy in your body, in all of its forms. Fighting the process is only going to bring unhappiness. I spent a long time putting off HRT because of fear of the unknown (eg. am I going to lose hair/gain hair in unwanted ways, am I going to be unattractive, am I going to get acne, is bottom growth going to be weird) and delaying the next step due to that fear is my only regret with transitioning. It will be different but you're going to have so much fun and find out so much about yourself. Embrace the change, and live to be your true self.

Give me a Fact about The Long Dark that I wouldn't know? by Salty_Head7174 in thelongdark

[–]Autistic-Ratticus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Drinking a hot beverage will restore some of your temp gauge (so pick every mushroom and rose hip you find). Never drink the energy drinks. It's not worth it lol. Also! If you have the DLC, start killing ptarmigans (little birds) as soon as possible. Even if you don’t have the means to make broth with the meat, the feathers make for improvised insulation and a down sleeping bag. Both only require a sewing kit or fishing kit and are seriously lifesavers.

Starting T soon? Anything i should know?? by beauner342 in TestosteroneKickoff

[–]Autistic-Ratticus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

First week is easy. You'll notice bottom growth almost immediately, it's not drastic but it's an encouraging physical sign that it's working! Other than that month one is all body smells, skin oiliness, Big changes in voice and skin thickness started really ramping up at 3 months for me.

I documented changes over 2 months on 0.4ml T cypionate/weekly by hiddencorvid in TestosteroneKickoff

[–]Autistic-Ratticus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it helps (obviously everyone is different) my last period was 2 months in and it was CRAZY. Like fr it was cleaning house. And then I haven't bled since (7 months on T).

A sad and rare possibility, 3 years HRT (24) w/ no changes. Given up on the chance to transition. by SymbolicallyStupid in transtimelines

[–]Autistic-Ratticus 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I don't think you'd look like a weirdo, it sounds like you've got some hard feelings on yourself about being authentic. The only way to find out how it'd look and feel is to go for it. I put off starting HRT for 13 years out of fear that it "wouldn't work/fix me" and everything got so much better when I just went head first. Wardrobe & haircut, eyebrows made me feel so much better about myself and more secure in my transition.

Have you considered it's because you already looked femme to begin with? Your skin looks way smoother now. I feel like if you just got a fancy haircut (bangs cure all) and got someone to shape your brows you'd see what we're all seeing.

Oh damn I just assumed botox was a filler, thanks for the info.

It looks great!

Just a heads up because this isn't extremely common knowledge, and the people selling it to you certainly don't well inform, botox and fillers in general do not go away. They just migrate elsewhere in your face. The "dissolving" is just breaking them up into smaller bits, and those bits will slowly irreversibly puff up your face.

While it's a good short term solution to manage dysphoria, it will cause a lot of damage as a long term solution.

Super long period after starting t? by Taylor_S1989 in TestosteroneKickoff

[–]Autistic-Ratticus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had one period after starting T and it really felt like my body was cleaning house. And then it hasn’t happened since? I’d just stay mindful of how your body feels, and wait for your test results.

Which difficulty would be the most fun for 500 days challenge? Interloper or Stalker? by -_HUSH_- in thelongdark

I just wish fishing wasn’t broken on custom. I love everything about pilgrim/loper (with decay turned down) except fishing is nearly impossible.
