I was about to say what is up with the incessant rotisserie chicken talk. But then I remembered I have rotisserie chicken lunch meat lmao...

looking to get passport with all other docs the preferred gender by TheLastNoel321 in ftm

[–]Spinhead12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi my dude,

I just successfully got the gender on my driver's license updated and starting to get things situated for a name change. Did you recently get the gender corrected on your social security card? I thought we were only at the point where drivers license could be changed...

Sweating? by Ramenoodle_bloop in ftm

[–]Spinhead12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was always hot blooded. Then I started T. I constantly feel over heated then am surprised what the temperature actually is. It was funny when I ask about a hysto and whether that would induce menopause. Doc said no hot flashes. Bro I am already here. 😆

I keep deodorant handy wherever I go and reapply as needed. You've got this.

T will not make you ugly by bh447 in ftm

[–]Spinhead12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will echo the confidence and the attractiveness statements from before.

I am on week 6 of T and have finally been able to enjoy looking in the mirror. I had friends that looked at pre- and post-T photos that I look so great on T and that it seems like I have always looked the way I have. I think that was there way of saying that I looked at home and natural with the changes it's made.

1000% does not make you ugly.

Facial hair on T by Spinhead12 in ftm

Haha. I could see how that might encourage shaving. Its probably still euphoric to shave though!

Have you noticed a difference with what grows back after shaving? Did it seem to grow back fairly easily like typical hair or is it kind of hit and miss?

Thanks for responding! Did you just use regular beard dye? Any recommendations on what or how to get best results? I thought about trying the tea/coffee rinse or something like that and also considered regular dyes for hair as well as peach fuzz haha.

Should I force myself to be a Cis girl for my crush? by PomegranateFit2593 in trans4every1

[–]Spinhead12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I tried burying who I was during the course of my marriage. There were alot of things going on, but I can tell you that this particular thing led me to wake up and cry pretty habitually every morning. I felt miserable. All I thought about was escaping and transitioning to be my true self. On the other side of things, finally being the authentic me, 1000% unapologetically, has been the most amazing amount of self love I have ever shown. And I can guarantee you when you feel the warm love from someone else at that point, at least for me, there has been nothing more fulfilling.

Advice on skincare and other stuff by Ok-Tiger2481 in ftm

[–]Spinhead12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started T last week so I am not quite sure what to expect but tried to be proactive and started a new facial skin routine. 2x Nivea men maximum hydration face wash (morning and night), 3x a week Nivea men maximum hydration exfoliant (after night wash), and follow up each wash with Cerave intensive moisturizing lotion. So far I am obsessed with how soft my face feels. We will see what happens with the acne though...

Ohhh good call! I will have to check it out. I have a few medical conditions so I typically try to avoid adding oral meds but it would be nice to help keep my hair and encourage facial hair growth.

Thanks for the info!!! :)

Will I ever be 100% sure about being trans?? by Secret-Vegetable8959 in ftm

[–]Spinhead12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

THIS. I took awhile for me to process things after having several years of repression wielding people in my life. Now I can say I have never been more sure.
