This time on Wednesday, my top surgery will be completed and I'll be back in my air bnb. JUST 2 DAYS TO GO!!

I’m so nervous and excited, though the nerves are getting to me now. I’ve never even had to go into hospital for a small procedure so it’s a bit daunting!

I know I’m doing the right thing, but it’s going to be a lot of healing and rest and recovery afterwards. Sadly, I’m not very good at resting but at least I’ll have @georgiacooked with me to keep me from going insane.

Trying a birth control implant because every other time has gone terribly but I'm already going into a depressive episode. I hate this shit. Stg.

Govt has refused my gender affirming hysterectomy so....

Birth control is my only option. Hormonal pills weren't good for me and Ive tried and been on several, some for years.

Between dysphoria and suicidal ideation, I feel like Ontario just wants trans people gone.

I have found the best ally

Straight and cis people will say that they are allies, but you will NEVER measure up to my dentist.

Me: "Hey, is it ok if I can change my name on my info from [DEADNAME] to Sai?"

Random woman that I wasn't even talking to in the chair next to me: "Honey, if that's the name you had at birth, [DEADNAME] is your only name."

My dentist, very slowly turning her rolley chair towards the woman: "Shush."

Random woman: "Excuse me?"

Destist: *closes privacy curtain while staring bullets at the lady*

Me: *pissing myself laughing*

My dentist while changing my name in my info (reminder that English is not her first language, she immigrated from Russia): "There, Sai, you have pretty boy teeth. Smile and make all girls swoon."

Me not having the heart to tell her I'm not transmasc but I'm Agender, and still pissing myself laughing: "Thank you [DENTIST NAME]."

My First Year on Testosterone

I've been on Testosterone for a year, and I want to try to do a write up of all my experiences with it so far.

These are just things I've noticed so far - there's probably a lot of smaller changes I haven't noticed yet.

Month 0-6 First off, I was on half a sachet of Androgel (25mg) for the first six months, as I'm nonbinary and anxious and wanted to go into the process slowly. The first six months nothing big really happened, and I've also heard people say gel works slower than injections do.

My acne on my face got a bit worse, but I've always had terrible hormonal acne, so this was both expected and not that big of a change

My skin and hair got very oily, but it wasn't consistently oily all the time - just like once every one or two weeks for a few days I'd notice my skin being more oily than normal.

The first two months my PMDD got easier to manage, but then it went back to being as bad as it had been before.

I started masturbating usually twice a day instead of once a day, but I'm not sure if that was because of horniness or just because masturbating helps my anxiety and falling asleep.

My upper-lip hair started growing in faster and thicker, though not any longer. I always had upper-lip hair though so it didn't feel like a huge change.

Month 6-9 6 months in I moved to taking a full sachet of Androgel (50mg) every day for 3 months. When I did this I planned from the get-go to go onto injections, as the injections are waaay cheaper than the Androgel (like, a quarter of the price), but stayed on gel for a bit longer because I was going on holiday and didn't want to have to worry about injections while away.

This was when I noticed my first long chest hair and little chin hairs

My voice started changing around this point

Month 9-12 For the last 3 months I've been on injections (0.25ml). I prepare the syringe but get my dad to give me the actual shot because I haven't been able to get myself to do it yet.

Voice has been steadily getting deeper, though it still breaks pretty frequently (and I haven't gotten fully used to talking at a lower register all the time)

I've gotten a lot more chest hairs as well as more hair in various other places on my body too, though nothing as obvious as the chest hairs.

The acne around my jaw has gotten worse, and I've noticed some acne on my shoulders, though not a lot. The skin on my shoulders feel like a different texture than previously (more rough and dry)

My period for the first two months on injections were ROUGH - they were both late and I got worse PMDD and headaches before they started, but the most recent period started a week early with no signs of it coming other than a headache the day before.

MUCH hornier. All the stuff I write lately is so fucking horny.

Noticed I had some bottom growth - my clit is bigger than it was before I started on T, though I had to double check some photos to see because it's not a huge difference.

I've also been slightly more anxious this month, and have gotten more throat-related colds over the last 6 months than I used to (like, I've gotten sick with very similar symptoms 4 times since September) but I don't think that's related to T?

[Begin image description: comic with 4 panels. Panel 1- Title: “Progress Report.” A transfeminine person named Riri undressing in a dressing rooms looks in the mirror in surprise, saying “I have boobs now!”

Caption: coming up on 6 months on HRT, I’ve already noticed some big changes.

Panel 2: 2 people are shown wearing backpacks. The first is a male presenting person looking worried, Riri pre-transition. Dark tentacles spill out of their small backpack, representing anxiety and depression. The second figure is Riri post-transition, femme- presenting and looking calm. They have a bigger backpack with the dark tentacles contained.

Caption: I cry a lot more, but I can handle my emotions so much better, instead of letting them crush me.

Panel 3: post-transition Riri, teary eyed, is in a pose implying they just stopped clutching the sides of their head. Stormclouds roll away in the background. Behind Riri is a line of test tubes, with a new sparkling pink chemical just added to the lineup. Riri says “Oh” in relief.

Caption: It feels like I finally got that one missing chemical my brain chemistry has always needed… my noisy, restless brain can finally calm down.

Panel 4: Riri smiles and hugs themself in blissful euphoria. A bandaid is on their tummy.

Caption: I was so nervous to start HRT, but I feel so much more connected to my body and my emotions now. I love the me I’m becoming. End image description]

To me, "having made it" as a trans woman isn't passing.

It's about not needing to shave your legs anymore to feel feminine.

It's about not needing to wear makeup anymore to feel feminine.

It's about not worrying about every step or sound you make to make sure you seem feminine.

It's about trying to get your hair to look just right, and instead of thinking "RAAAH NOO!! I'll never pass like this everyone will think I'm a man!", you think "Bleh, bad hair day... Oh well"

It's about feeling feminine no matter what you do, no matter what others think. Especially that last part.

It's about knowing, accepting, deep down, that you are a woman, and nothing you do or don't do will change that fact.

That's when I know I made it.

Today is my trans anniversary! I started HRT and came out 3 years ago today. I can't believe it's been that long already. I never thought for one second I'd get this far. When I started this whole journey, it was life or death. I was at one of the lowest points in my life. I almost took my own life, but I had a choice to make. To die and hurt the people i love or to become the woman i was supposed to be and show my loved ones who i really am. I chose to live. Now, here I am, thriving and living the best life I can! I wouldn't trade it for anything. Being able to be yourself without hiding or shame is one of the amazing feelings. I'm happier than I've ever been. For you trans peeps out there. You're worth it. Don't be afraid to be yourself. It's never too late to be you!

T update:

I had alexithymia before. It seems... Not worse but it's harder to quantify and name emotions than before... I'm also feeling more emotional sensations am not as numb but I don't know what names to give them.

Other things: I'm generally stronger and more sturdy and my face is changing. My cheekbones and shoulders are lit tbh

#transgender journey #ftm ish #I'm in gay boy love too #never been in love before #probably the gender dysphoria wouldn't let me

I started on 25ml testosterone shots every week in early December (prior to that I was on 25ml daily androgel for 6 months, then 50ml androgel for 3 months), and it really fucked up my periods for two months - I have PMDD and it's one of my main concerns when talking to both my therapist and GP, but we decided to see how T effects my menstrual cycle before we try anything else to help it.

So yeah, last two months my menstrual cycle was an even bigger bitch than normal. My PMS symptoms lasted a week and a half in December, I had multiple days of headaches before my period finally broke through a few days late, and them I got PMS for two days after my period ended, too.

Then January my PMS symptoms were 2 weeks long, my period was over a week late (basically my PMS symptoms started at a normal time and then just KEPT GOING while my period struggled to start), and I had reeeally bad headaches for about a week before my period started. Then, again, I had PMS symptoms for a few days after my period, again.

So like, not really ideal, right? And I was dreading seeing what would happen this week. I was expecting my period to start next week and hadn't had any of my normal PMS symptoms, but yesterday I had a bad headache which I just assumed was from being out in the heat or not eating enough or something.

So this morning when I got out of bed I was just in my PJ top and bottoms, no underwear, packing away laundry, and wondering why my thighs suddenly felt so sweaty. Turns out that wasn't sweat, it was blood, and my period just STARTED, with the only warning I got being the headache yesterday. Which honestly, like, thank fucking God. After two months of waiting for days/weeks for my period to start and feeling horrible the whole time, having it just show up out of the blue with no warning was great. Like, the sooner it starts the sooner it ends, right?

I just hope I don't have a lot of PMS symptoms after it ends to make up for having none before it started? But also I really hope the T manages to prevent me from having periods and PMDD all together real soon.
