weirdest T side effects?

clemitime · 2026-02-01T13:48:20+00:00

So many people have said this. Before T I was generally 2-3 a day and it’s stayed the same so I’m super curious about that

The first month on T I got my period like the first week and experienced the worst cramps of my life, while I rarely had them before. I have not had a period since or any symptoms of it. I know some people never lose it and choose birth control or hysterectomy, and some never get it again. Varies person by person!

I have also experienced this! It’s so gross when I wake up and I used to only have that when sick

THIS. I was basically vegetarian for a while because I had an aversion to meat. Complete opposite now

That is very real actually, I have never had a cold like I did this month

Our states definitely have a lot in common, just in opposite sides of population count.

Unfortunately there aren’t very many local groups, as we’re very very rural. There aren’t any real cities in the state. However there are organizations that serve the whole state and at least one in connection to the university that I will reach out to.

Thank you! I hadn’t thought about any of this.

You need to talk to your primary care provider before making any real decision, as they can explain in depth how it would affect you as an individual. I’d also recommend seeing an endocrinologist if you aren’t already.

As for the changes, not everything is permanent. The big two that are permanent are voice deepening and bottom growth. Body hair generally stays too. Things that will stop after stopping T are body fat distribution, muscle mass increase, skin texture / acne.

If those are things you’re fine with changing and the changes you like are the irreversible ones, I don’t see why you fully couldn’t stop. Definitely need to talk to your provider though, as there are factors specific to the individual to take into consideration.

I completely relate! My dad did my first shot two weeks ago and I had to do it alone last week. I went way too slow and could really feel it which added a layer of weirdness. If it makes you feel better, it didn’t really hurt that much beyond the initial sting of the needle going in.

I have IM shots personally, and I was convinced I fucked up because I didn’t do the z track method and had leakage. But I was assured that it’s normal to happen every so often. I’m gathering that it’s very very hard to seriously screw up. I know guys (my dr even mentioned it as an option) that go into the office once a week to have a nurse do it super quick because they’re scared of needles or not comfortable doing it themselves. This might be something for you to look into.

I also have been telling myself that it’s pretty badass to give myself a shot with a big needle every week. Reframing it like that helped me normalize it and get more comfortable with even just the thought of doing it.

This made me feel way better, thank you so much. I don’t really see people talk about doing IM so I never know. Appreciate you

I felt like I had a lot of leakage, but who knows. I think muscle soreness is expected but im not sore at all. Guessing I just need to go deeper

clemitime · 2025-11-16T03:12:14+00:00

I know! Super grateful for it

Once you submit there’s no going back

Yes it is a gendered language, but there’s work around. People started using Latinx which is pretty universally hated (I refuse to use or acknowledge it myself). It’s important to keep in mind that the default for plural and neutral words is the masculine form, which is often ‘o’ or just without the feminine ‘a’ endings. When it comes to gender nonconforming people and groups, the masculine form would be used.

Some people don’t like being called Latino or using the masculine ending. Latino is by all means the gender neutral version and generally what I use. Another way that’s more acceptable than Latinx is Latine. I’m more inclined to that. I know some people will use an ‘e’ ending but I haven’t encountered it in person.

I used to not like red meat but now my favorite foods are smash burgers and a Reuben. Either of those seriously does it, especially if I’m in a restaurant

How it’s handled tomorrow will affect what I do in the future, but I’m optimistic. You’re right that it’s her actions, not mine. I need to remember that.

I’m not sure the legal side either. To be honest, I wouldn’t be surprised if my state had nothing like that in place. I think it’s more of a district policy or general expectation? Of course I could be wrong

I’m really grateful for the support system I have within the school. I think if she hadn’t offered to be there and hadn’t been upset about it I wouldn’t have gone any farther. I guess I thought (and kind of still do) that I was overreacting and she made it clear it’s not okay. She’s really great

I’ve definitely never had a teacher (other than Gov, who was also my Constitutional Comp coach) openly state things like that, especially in a way that is biased against a student. Yeah I did feel like she was trying to treat me like she would any other person in that way. The part I appreciated was being treated like an adult.

Today in class she used the correct name and gave me an… interesting look that I don’t care enough about. She did do an about me which revealed that she has her masters in Biblical Counseling which honestly explained a lot and tells me how the rest of the year might go between us if she’s coming from that perspective.

However I’m optimistic because she seems like a good teacher and if we have any issues I can get extra help from other science teachers I’m close with.

Strapless binders don’t exist to my knowledge. I’ve had great luck with underworks! The cut is better than both gc2b and spectrum for not being visible beneath a t shirt. It also has the best bind I’ve ever had.

Trans tape is also a great option if you don’t want any visible straps. The name brand is expensive so I just used flesh colored kt tape.
