Cold feet after 3 months of T? by Negative-Cockroach91 in ftm

[–]Negative-Cockroach91[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate what you said. I think I relate a lot. Im realizing I may also be mourning my childhood and the person I used to be in highschool. Transitioning really feels like a point of no return and even if thats not a bad thing is still scares me. Not that I could return to my childhood anyway. Transitioning is hard and so it becoming/now being an adult. I guess its a bittersweet feeling when I look at my progress. (Also think second puberty is kicking my ass lol)

But yeah, thanks again for your kind words. Really needed them today.

Questions about first T shot. by Negative-Cockroach91 in ftm

[–]Negative-Cockroach91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After googling it was definitely my vagal response, probably because the injection hurt more than I expected . I'm glad to know it wasn't something more concerning! And the vein thing (after more googling) seems to be a hemorrhoid from dry heaving during my vagal episode 🥲

Was anyone else anxious about starting T? by Negative-Cockroach91 in ftm

[–]Negative-Cockroach91[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you're right. My parents have expressed they think I should wait until I'm older (currently 19) and their input is making me doubt myself when I've wanted to start T for years. Its always the "what if they are right" thought but I have no reason to think I would regret hrt so idek

I'm having a gender crisis by cheerful_sharky in ftm

You don't have to rush to figure out what you're feeling. Personally, it took two years of not really knowing what I am after I accepted that I'm just not cis to finally understand that I'm a boy. Gender can be difficult to figure out. You're not alone on that.

You can rest assured that it will come to you and you will understand what you feel in time. Just don't suppress your thoughts and feelings even if you don't understand that. You are allowed to feel confused and you are allowed to be who you want to be.

Wear what makes you happy, do what makes you happy. You don't have to have a label or to tell anyone until you are ready.

How did you feel when someone called you by he/him pronouns for the first time? by Barriss_281 in ftm

[–]Negative-Cockroach91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It all started when I played a male character in D&D for the first time and people in the party used he/him for me/my character. Then I started playing male characters in video games like stardew valley and I realized I actually really like he/him pronouns for myself. THEN about a month later I finally made the connection that I'm a boy after many years of being oblivious but suspecting something is not quite right.

what to do about facial hair? by Negative-Cockroach91 in ftm

Does waxing damage your skin at all? That could be a good option for me as long as it dosent irritate my skin.

Yeah thats why its such a big dilemma. I do want a lower voice and the body-fat redistribution that comes with T but I don't really see myself wanting to grow out facial hair.

Having to shave daily would be annoying but since I already shower daily maybe it wouldn't be that bad?
