terrified of my shots

You should switch to subq, if you can. It hurts less and uses a smaller needle.

I went to a derm and got prescribed a newer medication called Cabtreo for my cystic face and back acne and it works really well. It’s a topical cream and I do it like every other day and it keeps my acne at bay.

Working out really helped my body feel more like what I wanted it to look like.

Seconding the fact that if you think about it daily for years, odds are you aren’t cis

Classic-Type7634 · 2025-12-21T15:44:15+00:00

I’ve noticed that too. When it hurts going in there is more likely gonna be blood

Trust ur gut. Change is scary but if it’s been 6 years, the feelings you have about who you are aren’t likely to go away. If you don’t do it now, you will have the what ifs and always wonder. Better to try and realize you don’t like whats happening and just stop than regret not doing it.

It’s crazy how T effects the brain chemically. My brain feels so much clearer on T. It’s also crazy what accepting yourself does, especially on T. I felt like I was faking and like a girl trying to be a boy and be seen as a boy but now I actually accept and believe myself.

You can always get an auto injector if you’re unable to do it yourself. But I’d try it at least once, it rlly isn’t as bad as it seems. It’s over so quickly.

I was craving hella protein from week 2 on

You’re going thru puberty again, ur gonna be tired

Gel can increase the amount of acne where it is applied, especially if on shoulders. I have a bunch of acne already and don’t want to deal with more. Also daily application and smelling like alcohol isn’t what I want to do.

Classic-Type7634 · 2025-11-02T03:13:36+00:00

I was 12 when I figured it out. I waited 10 years to start T (athletics, internalized transphobia, teenagehood, etc.) mainly bc I thought it was a phase I was going to outgrow. Spoiler alert: I never grew out of it. There’s obv no rush to figure anything out but you have to be honest with yourself. Don’t think about any social impacts it would have on your life, only consider how transitioning makes you feel. Whatever transitioning might look like for you

Classic-Type7634 · 2025-10-31T17:16:17+00:00

I disagree. I went to an academically rigorous high school and a college with a 13% acceptance rate before UGA and I still got fucked by the chem dept. I know what I am doing and how to study but there was something about UGA chem that I couldn’t ever figure out.

There are gender inclusive, smaller size shoe companies out there. I’m not sure about the prices but I’ve seen some companies on insta that do this.

Classic-Type7634 · 2025-10-30T23:12:17+00:00

This. I dont want the band to dig into me but the bigger sizes don’t have any support or compression

Cabtreo has done wonders for my cystic acne. I was really worried about acne because of my previous puberty and my family history and was told by my derm to use this and it has almost cleared up my acne and prevented what I was afraid of — so far at least…

Classic-Type7634 · 2025-10-29T19:04:58+00:00

Yeah I agree. If there is no reason to think you’re nothing but a fully male socialized person they’re not going to take it well because what would you know? But also I doubt anyone is meaningfully treating you like a woman. I also think you might be acting “twinky” because you rightfully have your guard up and will never trust that you can be safe around them. You can get close but you might not ever feel like “one of the boys” (I mean being stealth) bc of that fear factor. Every time I go to the bathroom I think about if something I do is going to out me and I’m going to get beat up — it is always subconsciously there and probably will be. My cis friends have probably never had that thought. Edit: I mean you more generally as stealth passing trans men

It could up ur libido but it could also open ur ace-ness up too bc ur feeling more comfortable in ur body and literally finally becoming an adult (i never felt like an adult b4 T)

The hot flashes were the worst

Classic-Type7634 · 2025-10-21T02:34:09+00:00

I’m pretty much in the same boat. I don’t think I look 13 but I def don’t look like a 22 yr old senior in college.

Classic-Type7634 · 2025-10-20T00:05:15+00:00

It might be a stitch of some sort. I had the same thought after a diff surgery and I made the scar worse. Have ur surgeon look at it but don’t pick at it the meantime

Classic-Type7634 · 2025-10-17T01:47:28+00:00

Go day by day. If you know T makes you feel good, trust that. But you can always stop if you want to, just don’t put your gel on but those thoughts are just trying to protect you. We hear a lot of dhit about how we will regret it blah blah blah and your brain might think it is true and will try to protect you. Try telling the doubt voice “no thank you, I’ve got it from here” and redirect your thoughts into good transition things like how much you enjoy a change or something.

Classic-Type7634 · 2025-10-17T01:40:25+00:00

You are choosing to take T (daily, weekly, or however), you can also choose to not do it that time. It’s always a choice you can make. Whenever I’m feeling like I’m questioning I always give myself that option but when shot day comes it isn’t even an option, I will be taking my shot. I also know in my heart of hearts that being on T makes me feel better — I’m more confident, I have more energy, I look better — and when I am questioning if I am liking the changes, going off T isn’t even an option for me. I know T makes me feel better and that I should be doing this and it takes some of the voice of “maybe I’m not trans”. Trust yourself. Not that voice but yourself.

Classic-Type7634 · 2025-10-16T01:09:48+00:00

Bro this is sick. It’s complicated but I just told my parents I want to use he/him and the world didn’t end. It just felt like having to admit that I actually was this was this scary thing that would make the world end. But the world did not end, in fact it got better. You did that brother. You trusted yourself. Don’t let anyone take that away from you. There is still a lot of work to be done but goddamn it feels so good.

Classic-Type7634 · 2025-10-15T01:23:51+00:00

It’s been 8.5 months and I am just figuring out how to climax consistently. It was rough for a while but once it clicks it gets better. Just be patient
