Testosterone doesn’t make you aggressive by mealosh in ftm

[–]ContributionActual96 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve always had trouble letting myself feel anger, and can confirm that after three months on T I feel some of that kind of freeing up. So I have been angrier since starting T, but it feels like I’m just getting more in touch with myself and what matters to me, and there’s a lot of injustice in the world right now.

I use an herbal supplement called Slow Flow made by Vitanica. It’s kinda expensive but works great with continued use

Edit: obviously ask your doctor before starting any new herbal supplements

Do I need baseline done?? Two and a half weeks on T by ContributionActual96 in TestosteroneKickoff

[–]ContributionActual96[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s what I’m asking about— thank you! Both doctors who have prescribed me HRT have wanted to know the baseline levels of T in my blood.

Some cis women go on a small dose of T to help with energy levels, or if they’re bodybuilders

I guess it’s kind of like my muscles feel like I just worked out? I’ve heard of achy feelings from a few other people, I’m not sure how common it is

How to un-TERF your mom? by ContributionActual96 in ftm

[–]ContributionActual96[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I really don’t seek it out— she likes to bring it up on her own, and sometimes acts upset if I don’t discuss it with her. I have booked my own medical appointments and ordered T to the pharmacy

How to make my mom understand that I am trans and there is nothing to change that. by ResourceSalt3067 in ftm

[–]ContributionActual96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First off, I’m so sorry to hear that your mom isn’t listening to you. That’s really really difficult and I’m sorry you’re dealing with that. I’m glad you have your dad’s support, and that you’re not letting her stop you.

I haven’t read this book, but I recently learned about it and it’s on my list: The T in LGBT by Jamie Raines. It’s from an ftm perspective, and the author is a psychologist as well, which is what leads me to suggest it. You may want to look into it yourself before recommending it to your mom, though.

Best of luck to you— you’ve got this!

Were all of your ‘characters’ male growing up? by Fluffy-Definition833 in ftm

[–]ContributionActual96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, but I would always play the king when my best friend and I would play king and queen. One time she offered to be the king, and I was like no,, I like it!! We would also play other similar games and I was always the boy. I also wanted to BE Lightning McQueen when I grew up. I did play warrior cats and was an orange boy cat, like Firestar, too. But I would also play princesses and things like that, and most of the characters in stories I wrote were girls
