Normal trans guys doing their testosterone: *inject* ouch! *wipes the blood away* okay done!
Me, every other week, after five repeats of pink triangle by weezer at top volume, hand shaking violently as it’s poised directly over the tattoo I got to pinpoint where the needle should go, teeth gritted, muscles tensed, eyes wide open as if staring into the eye of god: IM NOT FUCKING AFRAID OF YOU

One of the recurring issues I've seen mentioned by transmasculine sex workers, whilst putting together "Working Guys: A Transmasculine Sex Worker Anthology", is the fear that getting top surgery will result in a huge loss of income and clients.
Tumblr media
This fear isn't an irrational one. Straight men are the largest demographic among clients, so being able to work under the guise of being a cis woman can have a big impact on how much money you can make. Top surgery is often the line where that's no longer possible.
If reading about these experiences is something that interests you, the crowdfunding for Working Guys: A Transmasculine Anthology goes live on the 1st of May!
Read about the project there: https://workingguys.carrd.co

There is so little out there that describes the experiences of trans guys and transmasculine non-binary people doing sex work, which made me feel really alone when I started... which is why this project is really important to me.

This was a response to another post, but I'm making it rebloggable by itself.
Dear trans men and people taking testosterone:
The reason pattern baldness is more common in men than women is because several of the genes that dictate it are X recessive. It's not primarily caused by hormones.
You have about 46 chromosomes in 23 pairs. (Occasionally, people end up with a different number.) These pairs are numbered 1-22; the 23rd are your sex chromosomes. One sex chromosome is an X chromosome. The other is either an X chromosome or a Y chromosome. Usually, having a Y chromosome makes your gonads develop into testes; most people with a Y chromosome are men.
Many genes are either dominant or recessive. Dominant genes are more likely to be expressed than recessive genes. Because chromosomes come in pairs, even if you have a recessive gene, it might not be expressed if the other chromosome has the dominant gene.
However, X chromosomes do not always have a second X. That means recessive genes on the X chromosomes are a lot more likely to be expressed in people with a Y chromosome.
That's why men are much more likely to go bald. Cis women with plenty of estrogen can go bald, too, but it's far less common because they usually need two copies of the gene.
I'm not saying that you'll never go bald. Like with all of your traits, there's a lot of factors. I'm saying that the people who try to use pattern baldness as an anti-trans fear-mongering tactic are being stupid and anti-scientific (as usual).

for whoever needs to hear this:
starting HRT doesn't have to be a huge momentous all-or-nothing decision. you can just try it like you would an antidepressant you've been informed of the risks of.
there won't be any immediate irreversible changes overnight. you can always stop, change your dose, change your delivery system, decide it's not the right time. you can even microdose if you want to.
you don't have to tell anyone. you don't have to announce it if you don't want to.
stop waiting for a perfect time in your life because it won't come.
stop waiting to reach a mythical level of certainty that never comes to anyone, for anything.
you've been thinking about it long enough. if you have the opportunity, just give it a shot. you're worth the courage it takes to make a change in your life.

the idea that testosterone is a dangerous hormone that inherently makes someone domineering and difficult to be around is transphobic all round, leaning on bioessentialism.
for trans men and transmascs, we are warned against medical transition for fear that we may lose our agreeableness and perceived passivity. we are seen as potential aggressors after going on it.
trans woman and transfems have any testosterone in their system, whether on hrt or not, held over them like an original sin that can not be escaped that positions them as more aggressive and dangerous. it is seen as something that threatens their womanhood and can be brought up against them at any time to revoke it.
testosterone is not an evil hormone. it does not change your moral character. it does good for some and bad for others, like any other hormone.

PSA for trans people, trans mascs and fems, and enbies & intersex folks on T or E injections (or injections in general):
Your injections should AT WORST feel like a hard pinch if you hit a vein on accident. It should NOT sting the whole time, itch, be tender for more than a day, and should not cause significant bruising. (Edit!: This is the weekly injections, the monthly or longer lasting injections are sore for a while because the liquid is THICC.)
I was not told this when I started, and missed that I was allergic to my shots for the first 2 months I was on T. There is more than one type of carrier oil, and the type of T they prescribe most often is more likely to have allergic reactions (cypionate with cottonseed oil). You should not have to suffer more just to get your gender juice. You can also gain allergies over time, so if you start experiencing these symptoms, check in with your doctor!
(Another Edit: PLEASE talk to your doctor before assuming stuff, I'm just a guy on the internet trying to make sure that y'all have more info.)
Tips for less painful/irritated injections I've gotten from people (all anecdotal, again, check with your doc):
-Intramuscular injections are usually less likely to be irritated than subcutaneous ones.
-Lightly wiping down the needle you are going to inject with with some rubbing alcohol before injecting. (Make sure it dries)
-Rub VERY hard with your alcohol wipe before injecting to numb up the skin a little bit.
-Make sure to rub the vial between your hands to warm it before using the draw up needle. It makes the fluid less thick, so it’s less painful to inject.
(I'll add more if people share)
