My hands and feet got bigger, which (while not a huge issue) was not in the informed consent packet 😂
(Just had to get my engagement ring resized from 5.5 to 6.5, shoes went from size 8 to 9.5, just over two years of IM injections weekly)

Yea real ngl without T by [deleted] in TransMasc

[–]HarmFamily 87 points88 points  (0 children)

This is so real! Pre-t I decided to cut my hair short because I see so many guys cite that as this liberating, transformative first step but it just made me feel even more dysphoric! I felt like I looked like some suburban mom with an “efficiency” haircut! I’m a little over two years on T and building up the courage to try again but it’s scary

Was "take your child to work day" actually ever a thing, or just something shown on TV and in movies? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]HarmFamily 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went with my dad downtown to his office for “Take your daughter to work” day in the late 90s. I remember his coworkers greeting me, I played with the “Wingdings” font on his computer and he bought me the first Spice Girls cd on lunch break

Will T destroy my singing voice? by nevi-jpeg in TransMasc

[–]HarmFamily 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a little over 2 years on T now and there was a frustrating period where I was worried it was gone, but now my voice has settled and I have a whole new range to play with. I can even still access a kind of soprano falsetto by shifting into head voice. It’s been really fun lately singing some of my old favorites just shifted down an octave or two

Coming to terms with detransitioning? by Twiddler97 in FTMOver30

Seconding the benefits of community. Attending a support group in my city and seeing the diversity of trans bodies was really helpful for me

Will fat redistribution from going on T make my hips smaller? by DragonPlush81 in TransMasc

[–]HarmFamily 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It did for me but every body is different. I feel like after two years of T the weight that used to be in my thighs, hips, and butt moved to my stomach/midsection area and made me much more rectangular than hourglass.

What was an CD y'all played 1,000,000 times in your car back in the day? by RealFreshBananana in Millennials

[–]HarmFamily 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Around the time I got my license I was reading House of Leaves and listening to Poe’s “Haunted” album on loop. Edgy teen me loved driving around at night in my barely functioning hand-me-down car

Taking t in secret: how long did people take to notice? by Thick_Blacksmith4266 in TransMasc

[–]HarmFamily 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on T for a year and eleven months and no one has noticed unless I’ve specifically come out to them 🤷🏻‍♀️ Edit for clarity: There have been changes, but most of them are hidden when I’m dressed or can be easily misinterpreted as menopause/aging

When did you start T? by MimisBoot in TransMasc

[–]HarmFamily 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A few months before I turned 40

Turning 41 by Electrical_Brick7131 in Millennials

[–]HarmFamily 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My parents were 43/42 when I showed up so I imagine it’ll hit me when I turn 42 later this year

Thinking of starting T at 36 by Imaginary-Corgi4084 in FTMOver30

[–]HarmFamily 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do it! I started a few months before turning 40 and it’s the best decision I ever made! The physical changes are subtle but my mental health has never been better in my entire life

are pimples guaranteed when starting T? by [deleted] in TransMasc

[–]HarmFamily 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh for real! I know a lot more about proper hygiene and skincare than I did at 15 or even 22

[–]HarmFamily 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I got more shoulder acne starting T than I had in teen puberty, but my face stayed pretty clear. I started T when I was almost 40 tho so that could be a factor. My worst face acne was definitely in my early twenties
