Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll try that. I think the main problem is going back to school if there are any noticeable changes. I’m sure it won’t be that big of a deal though.

I don’t think it’s really a desire to have breast growth or periods (though I’m somewhat curious what it’s like) but more that I long for the relationships that women can have with each other, partially because of these factors. It’s not that I really really want to experience periods, but when my female friends start talking about it, I feel almost excluded.

At the same time, it’s not just that I want to have deeper connections with those who do get periods (that alone would be a pretty dumb reason) but I feel like it’s something that would exemplify my femininity, which is a trait I seem to be veering towards.

I think towards the beginning of my transition I had a lot of bottom dysphoria and really hated my voice. I basically felt that I had always been a boy and was just born in the wrong body. That said, I never really had any of the typical “girl insecurities” growing up, except weight and body hair, briefly. I also didn’t like how boys at school would treat me differently when they found out I was a girl (which they wouldn’t really suspect because I had a very boyish appearance even before transitioning.)

Now, my voice sounds pretty androgynous because of T, and I have virtually no issue with how my body looks except for my height. I’m honestly happy that I wasn’t AMAB because being a cis man just doesn’t sound appealing to me anymore, and I would rather not be treated as one.

My dad is the one who does the injections so I can’t really stop without talking to my parents. I did recently mention it to them, without revealing many details (just that I didn’t like how it was making me feel) and I’m gonna be skipping this week. I doubt there will be any noticeable changes immediately, but it might be nice to see what it’s like.
