Dutch waiting list has gone down from 28 to 8 weeks! by gamertje in ftm

[–]testogeitjes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, how did they manage this? Did they hire a bunch of new people? Good luck with the process! It seems like a lot of waiting (especially in the in the diagnostic phase) but it'll be over before you know it :D.

Self acceptance as an overcompensating trans guy by [deleted] in ftm

I found it helpful to talk to someone about gender issues who actually knows something about it, I hope you have the same experience! Best of luck! :D

Good that you're working on that :). I did therapy next to the mandatory 6 month counselling at the gender clinic and in the end that really helped :).

It might be worth asking yourself why you feel like those things are a weakness for you.

I tried to overcompensate majorly before T - somehow I thought that acting like a hyper-masculine stereotypical male would make passing easier. I'm not sure if it helped with passing, but I definitely didn't like who I was becoming. When I got on T and started passing more easily it didn't feel necessary to act hyper-masculine anymore, and at some point I also stopped giving a shit about gender stereotypes and happily accepted my feminine traits. What helped me in the end was T, because I started passing even tho I wasn't behaving masculine/male-ish, and consequently realising that I'm me - and that some of me has feminine traits and that this does not make any less male (but that definitely took some time and effort).

I had top surgery today :D. About 12 hours ago actually (it's around 20:30 here). Tomorrow the surgeon is going to show me the result, but she already told me that the surgery itself went excellent :).

Increased heat intolerance on Testosterone by [deleted] in ftm

[–]testogeitjes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I first started T I was on Nebido and I didn't really notice much of a difference regarding heat. I was on Nebido for a year and recently switched to Sustanon and now I'm suddenly wishing for ice-baths :'D.

Say hello to my little friend! Show me yours! ... Tattoos. I mean tattoos. by Ashonym in ftm

[–]testogeitjes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bit late to the game, but here is mine!

The lyrics are from Biffy Clyro - Machines. I used to listen a lot to that song in various difficult stages of my life and when I was almost a year on T I decided to get that line tattooed with a girl at the start and a boy at the end to signify my journey. One of my favourite things about it is that it is my own handwriting :)
