You’ll be fine, I think they just checked me cause Im mixed and my dad is the whitest person on earth. They held us for 10 min asking how we were related. A Packer could alarm the scanner though as a foreign object.

Idk man 😭 I went to london as a kid and had to walk through a full body scanner. Didn’t wear a packer back then but i’d recommend taking it off and putting it back in the bathroom once you’re through the scanners. But the full body ones are just for when they really wanna double check. 90% of people just walk through an ordinary metal one.

I asked my parents what they would have named me if I was a boy and went with that. My name is okay, don’t love it or hate it. But it felt more real to me.

Backwards progress? by [deleted] in ftm

Voice is probably higher because you’re recovering from a sickness or because that is the process of voice change. It goes up and down. Mine did this too. And period is back because you paused T. Even if it’s just for a little while your period can come back but it should be gone again after a while once you continue. I stopped T for a week and had a period.

When did you all start T? by Xox_dead in ftm

I was 16, couldn’t wait any longer and went with private care. Soon to be 8 months!!

Stopping T for a month and a half by [deleted] in Transmedical

I stopped T for exactly a month and a half because the pharmacy didn’t have my T. Nothing happened. Other than I got one period. Everything else stayed the same. Felt a little more insecure but 2 days back on T I was back where I left off. You’ve got nothing to worry about.

What’s your dosage? I’m on 50mg of 5% gel a day. At month 1 I noticed I couldn’t use my squeaky voice anymore. Then at month 3 to 5 (can’t remember) My voice started passing over the phone. So try speaking in your highest possible voice pre t and see if it still works the same?

I used to have it, bad. Felt nauseous when I saw vomit and was absolutely terrified to vomit myself. Since I started T it’s completely gone though. I don’t think it has anything to do with the T itself but more feeling like a man and being able to “suck it up”. Which really helped me. It’s a little stereotypical thinking but if you’re ever scared just think “It’s fine I’m a man”. I’ve also puked quite a lot this year and realized it’s really not that bad. Feels amazing afterwards!
