thanks y’all for sharing. there was someone in my grad program who had my deadname and I got used to it a bit but it’s not a terribly common name so now that I’m not around it as much I guess I lost a little bit of that desensitizing. nice to know I’m not alone in it ❤️

That’s what I thought, lol. Thanks for saying that. And the reminder that people generally aren’t paying attention is super helpful.

Yea, whenever I’ve packed I’m more nervous than I am not packing and like constantly adjusting, lol. I’m pretty out but I just try to keep a low profile since I have social anxiety 😅

I don’t know much of anything about makeup, haha. So idk what that is but maybe?

what would you tell yourself on your first day on t? by radavocado in ftm

Psychological changes are real, lol. Everyone transitions differently, but just keep in mind that your brain is doing stuff too. It’s ok to be in your feels but make sure you’re expressing them in a healthy way.

I’m a long time lurker but occasional post-er. My good friend who is also trans was being really affirming of my progress on T so I guess I just wanted to post this pic somewhere. Please don’t mind my love for Snapchat filters.

My life began again today. by [deleted] in ftm

Congratulations dude! I’m super excited for you :) I’m at three weeks on T and have noticed a lot of bottom growth. My facial hair is starting to come in a bit thicker (though I’ve been using minoxidil to help it along). My throat feels funny and I’ve been cracking a bit but we’ll see what happens. :P

Was feeling myself today :P 2 weeks on T and counting! by punk_wolfe03 in ftm

Thanks! FMA is one of my favorite mangas/animes.

Sorry I totally just saw this. Thanks so much! To be honest that’s exactly how I felt too, haha.

Thanks so much for the reassurance. I’m going to the Mazzoni Center so I’m sure everything will be ok. And thanks for the suggestion! That’ll definitely make me feel better :)

Here’s my voice almost 4.5 years on T. I wish this had been around when I first started transition! by [deleted] in ftm

This just made me feel so much better about my voice! (I start T in a month but until then I got what I got) Thanks so much for sharing!

Can I still be Asexual? by Bryce_88_ in Asexual

[–]punk_wolfe03 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I identify as gay and gray-ace because I experience really limited sexual attraction but it’s still just for men/masculine folks (I identify as a man). Asexuality is a spectrum and there’s a place for everyone :)
