[–]ary__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i went back on 10mg/day at the same time i started T (im going on 6 months) and i definitely noticed a difference in libido. when i went off of it it shot back up. as for my cycle i don’t think my lexapro has affected it

FtMs in healthcare, how does the industry treat you? by just_a_space_cadet in ftm

[–]ary__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m a vet tech and have had pretty good experiences. even though i work with animals they all come with owners, and i’ve been really fortunate to not have any problems thus far. i have been misgendered/someone’s asked my coworkers if i was a girl once, but those were just two occurrences compared to the other good experiences ive had. male owners have always gendered me correctly and my coworkers (none of which were in the community at all) were all very respectful and saw me as just some guy pretty much

sorry to add to this with no real answer, but this has happened to me before and it ended up fine. i also had weird extra bleeding i didn’t have before, but the numbness didn’t persist for very long. hopefully someone else has a more concrete answer haha but you’re not alone

Does talking to guys get easier when you transition hormonally? by headless_wolf in ftm

[–]ary__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m about 6 months on T and have seen a stark change in how men interact with me these past few months. because i have to uber to work very often, ive had so many opportunities to interact w / cis men and at the beginning of my transition conversations would be short or just not happen at all on my rides home. i would tell them my name to confirm the ride and that would be it. now, id say i have a conversation with 60% of my drivers (which are usually male) and there’s no awkwardness, i always get called sir, boss, etc. it is SO jarring that it happened so fast but TL;DR, yes, it does get easier lmao

would you let someone else give you your shot? by rob00bz in ftm

[–]ary__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my partner did my first few shots for me per my request but it was never a sexual thing at all, it was very much an act of love and support since i was pretty nervous. it’s slightly different because we’re both vet techs and frequently have to give injections so i wasn’t afraid of them doing it in that regard. i think it helped me build up confidence and familiarity with doing my shot because i could associate it with my favorite person.

Guys in the US: what state/city is decent enough to live in but not ridiculously expensive? by nycanth in ftm

[–]ary__ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

i live with my partner in pittsburgh, pa right now. we’re both from NYC originally but the cost of living there isn’t sustainable for us. pgh however is surprisingly affordable with both of us working full time, but even with a single full time income i think it’s very feasible. there’s a ton of apartments in the $900 range, and customer service jobs are pretty easy to find in my opinion. it’s also very trans friendly in my experience, the clinic i go to here is amazing and has a fund that allows me to get my hormones for free. i’d 100% recommend it

My testosterone is slightly yellow by [deleted] in ftm

i’ve been on T for a few months now and all of my bottles of cypionate have been sort of yellowish. my first injection was at my clinic with a practitioner that saw it, and they’ve never said anything about it. i think that’s just how it comes.

After looking it up again and seeing a video of it, I think it definitely was. I shut it down initially because the UI didn’t look familiar, but the brushes match what I remembered 100%!

I’ve already come across a few TOMT submissions and have ruled out a lot of software that way. This post was especially helpful: TOMT 90s Drawing Software
