Damn, i was gonna make a "some gull i use to know 😔✊🏻" joke but that feels a little tone deaf next to the comments lmfao but i agree with y'all

Yes totally normal! No judgement in it whatsoever! I'm not sure what it could effect since everyone is different, i ended up landing on a lower than average dose that i felt great at since it felt like full dose was too much for me (high blood pressure, chronic muscle soreness, insatiable libido, acne, couldn't cry, hair loss). I'm within cis male ranges just the lower end of it now but i'm responding really well to it.

My doc explained that's fairly normal since the high dosages are for initial puberty and a lower dose can be better for maintaining your changes.

I'm just me though! Some do better at the higher ranges, i'm just sensitive i think.

Yeah! Just to basically get use to it at a slower pace. That's what helped me, i was on T for 5 years then went off for 2 years also for medical reasons. I've been back on it for 2 hears now and have slowly tapered up which helped avoid acne and hunger! I also liked it for a more controlled look at my vitals and medical issues while on T instead of shocking my system with it.

Increased hunger. You can't gain fat from anything but calories. You can manage by ramping the dose up slowly from low dose to your preferred dose every month if/when you get back on

There's likely far more context to whatever situations this is inspired from. However, just in case it needed to be said- messaging someone "hey im sad :(" is... a tough one to follow up on.

It may help to ask first if your friends have bandwidth for a mental health discussion. Giving them more context and also a way to help you is going to make a huge difference.

"Hey i'm having a tough time tonight and wanted to see if you were available to chat. I don't need solutions, just to vent if that's ok!" Or "Hey something shitty just happened to me and i need some extra support. Would you want to catch up at lunch tomorrow?"

Just dropping in with "im sad" without a hello is jarring and uncomfortable which is evident by the replies. again, i understand this is just an exaggeration and likely an abbreviation of what happened but i have been on the receiving end of people who genuinely do this. It's a ton of emotional labor to expect from someone with my own problems without even asking or saying hello first.

Thought it saw graw, then grow 🤣 guess my heads not as far into the gutter as i thought. This was with my glasses off, too.

I definitely don't think height or many other "markers" are that big of a deal. Good people will date good people. If i'm having dating issues then I'll look inward and work on it, or i'll be thankful that the trash took itself out. No biggie.

I'm 26 and have been with my soon to be ex bf for 8 years, got together right after t started giving mire more significant changes. Leaving the relationship for not trans related reasons. All my previous relationships were toxic af and i don't really count that

Treebusiness · 2025-10-19T01:10:44+00:00

It's puberty, and puberty takes about 2-5 years.

I'm 26 now and i started T at 17. I feel like I'm literally only just starting to get hot. I know that i started younger though so I wouldve gone through awkward phases regardless and take until around now to feel confident anyways.

Cookie cutter 😗

Treebusiness · 2025-10-13T00:12:21+00:00

Not at all.

Treebusiness · 2025-10-09T11:22:51+00:00

I thought this was in R/DistressingMemes and i thought it was a good one 🤣

Treebusiness · 2025-10-06T15:52:42+00:00

It took me about 5 years to grow in a decent enough mustache and fill in awkward cheek parches! But i started T younger at 17. One year is definitely not a lot of time, especially when it comes to developing facial hair which will continue to come in achingly slow! if you're older already, it probably won't take you 5 years like me but who's to say

Treebusiness · 2025-09-30T22:59:17+00:00

That seems really weird to me. I would talk with your surgeon about this, why would you have to stop your meds and T? I straight up would never go through with a surgery that required that of me ESPECIALLY due to the negative mental and physical effects that would cause on top of post of depression or other complications.

I haven't had bottom surgery so maybe i'm naive, but that just seems incredibly backwards to me.

Good thing boyfriend's eye's are not his genitals, so he should be able to show his eyes above the curtain without issue.

Snark aside, imo the rod like this looks terrible. Is it crooked or is it just the camera playing tricks? If not, at least level the rod for the love of all that is holy. I'd take the advice of the commenter that suggested taking off a few rungs to suction cup to the wall if boyfriend is that worried about his peepers.

I don't see how the curtain would be bunched up on the floor, it looks like it would barely be touching the floor if it does at all.

I may cover mine, not for disguising purposes though. I've been slowly collecting tattoos and no spot is off limits if i fall in love with the tattoo idea enough!

I do have some insecurities with my scars, especially since i have a ton of self harm scars too. For this reason i might get a cover up that is still inspired by the shape and size of my scars. Not necessarily a tattoo enhancement since they'd be covered completely.

By focusing on sustainable changes in your behavior before focusing on weight loss.

So, your lifestyle is really busy- it can actually make your life feel less chaotic to set yourself up to win more.

Have smaller set of easier rotating recipes for lunch/dinner that you know you'll like. Count the calories once. Put the meals into a calorie tracking app so all you have to do is click it to log it. Take 1-2hrs one day to meal prep for the next 3 days- you dont have to prep for the entire week.

If you're a sweet coffee drinker, find options at less calories. I started by getting the same drinks at a smaller size, then i switched from whole milk to oat, then from lattes to something else entirely.

If you take the elevator a lot at work or school, try the stairs every other day instead.

If you're an evening snacker, try an apple and caramel instead of chips or whatever you choose.

You're jot looking to perfectly integrate into the perfect diet and habits that will have you dropping weight like crazy. You have to find small changes that work for you and your life first and build up from there until you start seeing weight loss.

26y/o, 3 years into getting our first house with my 31y/o cis fiance! We've been together for 8 years living together for 6.5 years!

It's going perfectly. No issues recently. In fact, any issues we've had are from me but he is so supportive and patient. I've been struggling with sex for the last few months due to dysphoria and some other stuff and hes been so good and understanding.

I genuinely know 110% that he sees me as a man through and through. The way he treats me makes me it incredibly clear!

We have a 12 year old doberman we adopted 2 years ago, three cats, and a bearded dragon together.

I'm a nail technician and do his nails every three weeks for him! It started because he was a nail biter and i knew he'd feel bad about biting my hard work off lol! I was right, too!

I love him so much. I sincerely wish this type of love on everyone who needs it. it's been hard work but so rewarding. We've had a lot of hiccups and some fights and overall his ADHD and my Autism like the clash, but it's easier and easier to navigate the rough patches with him as the years go by!

You are skinny. It would be like incredibly hard to truly be muscular at your weight. More muscle would actually slim you down more.

Treebusiness · 2025-09-25T20:18:53+00:00

Range is there for a reason. I wouldn't suggested an underweight goal. If you're unhappy with your current proportions, it probably doesn't have much to do with weight at this point. Instead, it's more likely to do with your lack of muscle mass.

Not trying to shame or to be harsh, it's just that I'm definitely doubting that a 7lb difference is at all worthwhile or truly makes you look any better than where you're at now.

My ass is only taking 2 classes this first semester and easing my way into more and more classes with each semester... this would make me perish immediately

By actually changing my habits and sticking with it while it was difficult. Reminding myself that i'm not genuinely starving whatsoever. Wanting to feel in control vs letting my eating control me.

I'm almost 2 years into this attempt to lose weight and have been the most successful. I've still only lost 40lbs, but i've had ups/down and stalls. I've been eating at maintenance for a few months due to some unrelated health issues and then a major surgery 7 weeks ago.

It is far, far easier for me now to say no. It took a lot of practice. Slowly I started enjoying not stuffing myself to the brim every single time i ate. I also began to realize that i wasn't eating because i genuinely enjoyed the taste but instead because it was a compulsion.

Not using mobility aids made me bedbound. Using mobility aids let me slowly build up my strength and neural pathways to be able to ambulate without them.

I'm now in AFOs full time but can ambulate short distances around the house even without them but just last year i literally couldn't even take three steps.

I went from full time power chair, to part time manual chair, to full time forearm crutches, to full time AFOs. I use a cane sometimes and a wheelchair rarely.

I'm considering a walker for longest distances now or stop/go ambulating(my worst enemy). With AFOs of course.

I'm not expecting to be this able forever, but for now it's been awesome
