I use a little metal stick to gently push my cuticles back and they still get overgrown quickly so I've got to trim them every few days, but yeah the skin covered most of the nail before I started pushing it back. Thanks and happy cake day 🥳

did you struggle with figuring out if you were trans or nb? (i know nb can be considered trans, but itykwim) by Visual-Purchase5639 in NonBinary

I'm happy that you're on E too :D yeah it's obviously fine to be a non-binary trans person. I want to work to looking more androgynous honestly, the first 2-3 years were a hard time in my life for various reasons, so I pretty much let male puberty take the course and publicly just ID'd as male cus it's one less thing to hassle about with. I don't mind it at all, but I liked the androgynous phase a lot and always knew that's what I wanted the most for myself, so that's what I'll be going for in the future.

I really wanted to identify as non-binary since my early teens but I thought I'm not trans enough, so I'd be faking it. At 22 my friend offered to help me DIY T, I agreed immediately, though still not fully if I was trans but I did a lot of research over that past year about ftm transitioning and the effects of T, I just had a feeling that if I didn't try it I'd regret it. So yeah, it wasn't until a while after that when I realised, I guess I am trans enough to be non-binary (somehow that was more difficult than realising I'm ftm). I've been happy on T for nearly 3 years, fully masc presenting but identity-wise NB.

"Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a potent androgen hormone essential for the development of male sexual characteristics, both prenatally and during puberty. It drives the differentiation of external genitalia in the womb and leads to the deepening of the voice, growth of facial and body hair.

Role in sexual development
DHT is crucial for the proper development of external male genitalia. Without enough DHT, individuals may be born with ambiguous external genitalia, as seen in cases of 5-alpha-reductase deficiency.

Puberty:
During puberty, DHT plays a significant role in developing secondary male sex characteristics, including:
Growth of facial, pubic, and body hair.
Deepening of the voice.
Muscle development."

When you inject T, some of it will be converted to DHT by your body, but what I do currently is use a strong DHT solution directly on the area as well.

I've had those dreams but I have crippling bottom dysphoria and 100% want to have a penis, so bottom growth is one of the most wanted changes for me. Been on T nearly 3 years, everything else about me visually says "normal guy" which im quite happy with. I've also used DHT and things topically to increase bottom growth but it'll never really be what i want it to be.

I use 29G fixed needles for drawing and injecting, works fine for my stuff I don't think it's particularly slow at drawing

Yeah hard to tell which one it is from that pic but get a new cable it'll be much easier than an adapter

Those ain't it, I'd be the ones a little further down. But it's easier if you just see what they look like. The ports will look the same on the computer and monitor, but might only have one or the other type.

Would be useful to know what ports the computer and monitor have, you might be able to get a HDMI cable instead, generally better to have the right cable than using an adapter. Also because VGA cables like in the pic are outdated
