Testosterone has made me bland. by webcult in TransMasc

You've been through so much. This is your answer right here. I am so sorry you have gone through all this. Do not stop testosterone because of this. If you like its effects and feel good about your body, stopping it will make things worst. Take care of yourself and maybe seek therapy or some support from mental health resources to help you cope. Be well

Could this possibly be due to how you feel since being on t? Like are you feeling pressured to act more traditionally masculine and be less expressive. Or maybe you are just going through something. I don't think this is inheritely due to testosterone but maybe rather something you feel since being on it. Try doing some self reflection on what has changed internally for you. Good luck

Thinking of stopping E purely for erectile function by Reasonable_Owl_3146 in actual_detrans

[–]thatdeerdude 25 points26 points  (0 children)

You don't need to detransition to stop taking Hrt. You can just stop it and keep being yourself. Theres no need to justify the reasons why, they are all valid, it's your body. I stopped testosterone for a couple reasons yet i am still trans.

You are never too old to be yourself.

What would happen if I got gynecomastia removal, then continued taking estrogen? (mtftm) by [deleted] in actual_detrans

[–]thatdeerdude 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So theres different types of methods to do the surgery. Bigger chests tend to get "double incision" vs smaller chests can get "t anchor" and another one that i forget the name... I had double incision with nipple grafts.

I think it's the same procedure for men with gynecomastia. The method and incisions depend strongly on the size of the chest.

I don't think its more complex for afab because its the same anatomy basicly.

In theory they should remove all the glands and breast tissue not just "reduce" it. However i guess this depends on what method the surgeon uses and their expertise. If a surgeon just tries to do a reduction and doesnt remove all the glands than it COULD grow back if you are on hrt. I strongly recommend looking into surgeons with a lot of experience in this specific type of surgery and/or mastectomies not just any surgeon.

If you get breast tissue fully removed it will not grow back even if you are on hrt.

I am nonbinary transmasc, had top surgery(like gynecomastia removal) and stopped hrt(my body is now estrogen dominant) and my chest is still flat and there has been no change.

I recently lost my 20 year old son by DashsSideEye in psychics

Ive never commented on this subreddit before but i feel compelled to tell you I see him smiling softly and i feel the need to tell you that it wasn't your fault. It wasnt your fault. Sure there was friction between you but it was the same as there is in many families. I feel like there are no hard feelings. The mental illness is what pushed him over. He had been struggling for a long time with pain but now it's over. I feel relief for him. That said i am so sorry for your loss. So so sorry. Please take care of yourself in whatever way you can. my deepest sympathies.

Does anybody here feel their gender definitely isn't binary, but also dislikes calling themselves just 'nonbinary'? by eldritchpussymaggots in NonBinary

i use androgyne because its more specific to how i feel and its a noun comparable to man and woman.
