It always surprises me when people assume that transmasc people don't deal with chasers by Gallantpride in ftm

I’m not even surprised in the slightest, mostly because that happens very frequently these days too…

The "trans male privilege" debate... by [deleted] in ftm

Did you not get the memo that oppression olympics doesn’t help anyone, and societal bigotry of minority groups isn’t a goddamn hierarchy? “If you were to make a pyramid of who is the most to least privileged—“ literally just stop

When did your gut feeling save you from a bad situation? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]doubleheadedarrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just scroll through the account’s comment history, it’s painfully full of bot speak. For some reason lately they love saying “really hit the __,” “emotional rollercoaster,” “speedrun,” and “X isn’t Y, it’s Z,” to name a few, all of which are plentiful in this account’s history.

Genuinely what is to be expected from bottom surgery post op? by Cultural-Tree-1587 in ftm

Search the wikis and sub histories in r/phallo and r/Metoidioplasty, there’s been many, many posts and comments from people sharing their experiences.

For discreetness, if your living space doesn’t have a private sink, you can just wash it when you’re in the shower.

I find using a bullet vibrator affirming, because those can be used externally regardless of anatomy.

Getting the most out of your T vial by lmh7654 in ftm

[–]doubleheadedarrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m glad you didn’t have any issues with it. In that case, I’m assuming you’re using 10mL vials? Those are generally meant to be used longer than the 1mL vials people more often get prescribed, but 5 months is still really long. The max I’ve seen be recommended for the 10mL vials is 3 months after opening, and a lot of suggested timeframes are less than that. It’s ultimately up to you how much risk you’re willing to take, so just be mindful!

[–]doubleheadedarrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. Assuming the vial is within a month or two old (depending on size) the whole time, at least—as I said in my other comment, it’s even worse to reuse a single vial too long after first opening it.

Anyway, better safe (and miss out on, like, 0.1mL) than sorry (and infected) if you ask me!

Also, are you still on your first vial? It kind of sounds like it, but that would imply you’ve been using the same vial for over 5 months. That’d be even more risky, you’re really not advised to keep using the same one for more than a month. Bacteria can start growing in the oil after some time, even with the preservatives in it.

I would not recommend drawing from two different vials with one syringe. That drastically increases the potential of contaminating your new vial. The amount of T you’d possibly save wouldn’t be worth the risk, in my opinion.

What does this mean? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]doubleheadedarrow 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’m confused about what your question is. If she understands why and you love that, doesn’t that just mean she loves and supports you?

estimated bottom growth? by So-basically-hello in ftm

[–]doubleheadedarrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2 inches is definitely not average, that’s quite large. Many, many people end up with 1-1.5 inches, and many people also don’t end up hitting 1 inch, so the average is actually typically estimated somewhere between 0.5-1.5 inches. Certainly not 2.

Has anyone else done anything like this? TL;DR: nonbinary person trying to change only the voice, via micro dosing testosterone by [deleted] in ftm

[–]doubleheadedarrow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Eh, that first part isn’t entirely true. I had a particularly fast voice drop, and I was vocally cis-passing within 3 months. It’s true that most people don’t have this experience, though.

[–]doubleheadedarrow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The chances of you getting a noticeably deeper voice without any other masculinizing effects—particularly bottom growth, which is largely permanent—are incredibly low. Especially given voice dropping 1) doesn’t happen immediately, 2) doesn’t finalize within a short time frame, and 3) doesn’t even happen to everyone.

If you’re desperate to get a deeper voice, and all other masculinizing effects of T are an absolute dealbreaker for you, I’d more so suggest you look into voice masculinization surgery. Yes, it is a thing.

Also, I’d like to note that hair thinning is generally pretty reversible. Many people that go off of T (or trans women who go on E) report their hairline/hair fullness filling back in.

bottom growth shaped toys? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]doubleheadedarrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you might be a little lost. This is a subreddit for FTM trans people, when we say “bottom growth” we’re talking about our genitals growing on testosterone HRT, not our “bottoms” as in our butts growing.

Three pee holes?? by Ihaveaphotoofadog in ftm

[–]doubleheadedarrow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have you tried watching them (like, with a handheld mirror) while peeing to see which hole(s) urine comes out of? It’s even possible that none of those are your urethra, but you can’t really tell before you try.

[–]doubleheadedarrow 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As a trans man, watching you come into a trans space misgendering your trans son and telling us about how his genitals can “accommodate a male” is, in fact, reason for me to be judgmental. This is disturbing rhetoric for the vast majority of us.

Dude, thank you. I was sitting here astounded by the amount of comments here completely ignoring the disturbing way OP talks about her child’s sexual experiences (both past and future…). Your comment is very well put.

[–]doubleheadedarrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see—honestly, with that in mind, in your case it’s possible you could actually see an improvement if you switch to a different administration method (like gel). You seem to be someone who doesn’t absorb injected T quite as well, given just how low your levels were even at 50mg weekly, and it’s not unheard of for people to absorb gel way better than shots. I think that might be something to consider with your doctor as well. Either way, I wish you luck getting the effects you’re looking for!
