Here I am, awkward/bad posture as usual.
I went camping and for the first time since top surgery 2 years ago I got to swim in public topless PLUS with family around. It went well and will be always swimming topless for the next… rest of my life.
I still have a bit of compilations (still oozing a bit and basically lost all nip sensation) BUT it’s still better then a binder so no complaints.
I’m glad I guess... was kinda of an annoyance but still was better then wearing a binder.
SuperPreT me vs 6 years on T
I remember when I got my hair bleached/dye that day...I showed the lady a photo of Naruto ._.
My hair refuses to style like that maybe because T made my hair more coarse and thicker?
My jaw line looks a little more square but the beard helps it outline it out more.
My beard is almost at my hair line and my moustache is just a bit short of my beard but I hope to have them all in harmony one day.
YOU REMIND ME OF NARUTO ILY.
I WAS THINKING OF BEING NARUTO FOR HALLOWEEN HAHA but I don’t have the money to buy the costume ;_; or the knowledge to sew pants and a jacket...
I always say that...but I got some new ideas and tricks to share!
This was the moment I was so happy I didn't have to wear a binder anymore...from 7 years of binding I had no idea it would feel this good!
A follow up from my last post about the top surgery incisions complication.
In a few days I will be hitting my one year top surgery post op BUT 6 weeks ago something started to happen with my incisions and they…(going to cut this post because it’s gross/post op unhappy results)
I have a question about if you were nervous on your first day on t because i want to be able to be on it but i really hate needles and that seems like the best options
Honestly I was nervous every time I had to do my shots for like 3 years until I changed to sub q. I remember thinking about this documentary I saw in high school about a little girl who was very sick and she had to take shots and she did them herself and did it everyday ._. she was like 9-10 and she made it look like it was nothing, like it was a normal thing you do and she made it look so easy and painless. I thought after seeing that how brave she was and if she can do it so can I.
Is true that trans kids should not take hormones (in my case testosterone) because they are too young to "decide" who they "want to be"? What do you think about this?
Medically taking hormones too young might do harm to your body and I think that’s why they only give you blockers, but for the psychology part I’m not sure what to say really. Transitioning is a long long journey and there is lots to do before you start thinking about taking hormones; you can’t rely on T to fix everything. I was 17 when I first stared to question myself, then I spent 3 years on research and building my support system. I feel like the more I knew what I was getting myself into, the more my parents and doctors/counsellors believed in me and made me feel more secure and positive this is what I wanted for the rest of my life
I hit my 6 years on T a few days ago and I though I would talk a bit about my 3 years doing subcutaneous injection subQ
(Subcutaneous injection a short needle(27g1/2) used to inject into the tissue layer between the skin and the muscle VS Intramuscular injection longer thicker needle (22g1) into muscles)
I have had no big problems with subQ injections, it’s so much more easer/painless to inject and has not change my T levels (having it checked yearly) HOWEVER I do feel much more moody when I’m nearing the next injection time (weekly shots 65mg) also might have lost a bit more muscle mass?(BUT that could be from my incredibly poor diet and no exercise haha) it’s really hard to see any differences now being on T for such a long time/not really recording anything anymore so it’s hard to see new changes. I think my facial hair is still growing in and I been having less acne on my face, that’s really all I noticed in the past 2 years.
hey tyler ive been checking in on you every once in a while ever since i was a tiny baby trans boy way way WAYYY before i even thought abt transitioning & i first saw your comics on deviantart and i just wanted to let you know that im 18 now and im 8 months on hormones and 3 days post top surgery and you helped inspire so me so so much when i was younger hahaha thank you so much for putting yourself out there and being who you are!!
Thank you for the following support! and congrats on top surgery : D fantastic!
Once my friend Oliver, who is transgender, was arguing with some dude and the random dude tried to knee him in the balls but little did he know that Oliver in fact not have any balls. So the dude was confused and said "Do you have the pain tolerance of GOD?!?" and walked away quickly
