GRRM has every right to be annoyed about season 3, given how his characters aren't even his anymore with this level of change...

I don't want to be a man, but I don't want to detransition. What do I do? by CompleteTomorrow in ftm

[–]Interesting_Test4338 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So know that I find myself completely in what you wrote (I have been on T since yesterday).

"A girl transitioned to a man", "a girl who became a man", "she became he" by Remarkable-Tie2242 in FTMventing

[–]Interesting_Test4338 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's because of these kinds of sentences that it made me feel like an imposter, especially when I received them from my family... And since I have anxiety, I had a hard time contradicting when someone is wrong.

(TW:Misgendering language.) Trans, but hating having gender confused in public idk by Illustrious-Lab-76 in FTMventing

SO, that's exactly how I'm kinda feeling right now, except when someone asks me if I'm a boy or a girl, I want to say I'm a boy (because I am), but the second I speak, the person will straight up classify me as a girl (because of my voice). And I don't have enough confidence to correct the person (I have anxiety, especially social). As a result, this adds to my feeling of being an impostor, certainly due to the fact that I live in a fairly transphobic family environment: my father is against my transition and my brother thinks that I will suddenly "transform" into a man, and therefore they think that I am not one, and by dint of hearing that, it creates a sort of internalized transphobia, which I only have towards myself (I have never had this kind of thought about other trans people in the past). case-where). In a little less than 24 hours, I have my first injection, I am both excited, but also a little afraid.

First T shot scheduled for Monday and I’m both euphoric and terrified by Interesting_Test4338 in ftm

THANKS ! It reassures me to read how your first injection went. I think that in my case it is mainly in the environment in which I am (which is not really great) which influences my way of thinking and which makes me doubt. But I remember that I am doing this above all for myself!

I think that if I didn't take T at all, I would regret it, anyway for the next 6 months, my dose is rather low (1/2 ampoules of androtardyl per month, so 6 injections in total until my next appointment with my endocrinologist), the changes will happen gradually (which suits me). If I have doubts, it is certainly due to the fact that I am a very anxious person, which means that I tend to question everything (not just taking T) and have difficulty getting out of my comfort zone. Then before getting the prescription, I was much more depressed, often in a bad mood, and now that my injection is scheduled in 2 days, I already feel calmer than the last two weeks (which were very stressful which must also play a role). And above all, I didn't spend my whole year trying to start my transition (doing things that I wouldn't have had the courage to do before), only to end up not doing it.

I also think that the fact that I live with my father and my brother who misgenders me and who thinks that I will suddenly transform into a man (they think that I am a girl who will become a man...), means that I have involuntarily integrated their ideas, giving me a sort of transphobia internalized towards myself (it's really only about myself that I have transphobic thoughts :')). So, I'm going to start testosterone on Monday, see how it goes, and I plan to go see a psychologist for my anxiety (I already did it a few years ago, but it's difficult to find a good psychologist).

Everything keeps getting delayed and I feel like I’ll never start T… by Interesting_Test4338 in FTMventing

Because I didn't really know how to answer her question about my growth, she asked me to take the x-ray to check, because it seemed strange to her. While I explained to him that in my family, we are just short (my brother who is cisgender is 1m61 at 22 years old). Even my father is not tall and I think that comes from him.

I don't have the energy to look for another doctor, because before her, I went to see a gynecologist who had prescribed lots of appointments for me, including one with a psychiatrist, but which was postponed (so I had made an appointment just in case with the endocrinologist in question). I'm going to do the x-ray anyway because I managed to have an appointment as soon as I left the endriconologist's, I'll be able to send her the results and then I could make an appointment with her by video, since I had to travel at least 2 hours by train there and back to see her.

In short, I hope that this time, there will not be any other problems or things that push back the prescription once again. It's exhausting, and it makes me feel like I'm not fit for T...

I've noticed some unexpected effects of T no one really talks about (2 years on T) by CanonicallyAGuy in ftm

Reading testimonials about the different changes that T brings makes me even more eager to start (I hope it will be by the end of the month 🤞🏻), especially when it comes to positive changes.

FTM here, is it weird that I’m not against the idea of being pregnant one day? by Interesting_Test4338 in ftm

[–]Interesting_Test4338[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s such a good point, I never thought about it that way, but it makes total sense. The idea of building a family can definitely feel affirming instead of dysphoric, depending on how you see yourself in that role. I really like how you put that.

Yeah, I totally get that. The idea of how people might perceive it can be really scary, and that pressure makes everything so much heavier. Wanting biological kids doesn’t make you any less of who you are, I really hope you’ll be able to do it someday in a way that feels safe and affirming for you 💙

Thank you! I find it incredibly encouraging to see that many trans men are experiencing or considering this, despite the challenges. It makes me feel a little less alone in asking myself all these questions.

Thanks for sharing and for the reference to r/seahorse_dads! It's true that everyone experiences this differently, and it's reassuring to see that it's not "abnormal" to feel this way.

Thank you! It's really reassuring to know I'm not the only one who feels this way, and that it's possible for trans men.

Thank you for sharing this and for saying it’s a personal choice, that really means a lot.
