I Read - As Beautiful as Any Other
Howdy Team! I has been a minute. This week I talk reading another Transgender Memoir titled "As Beautiful As Any Other" written by Kaya Wilson.
The Book: www.booktopia.com.au/as-beautiful-as-any-other-kaya-wilson/book/9781760984885.html?dsa=s1-east&gclid=CjwKCAiAwKyNBhBfEiwA_mrUMnmorpbjN8Xq10gA0cAhKmW1OMF7YANNDHraYuNyBxamx3CVKaRD6RoCLqAQAvD_BwE

FTM Trans Advice - It Doesn't Happen Overnight
Переглядів 1942 роки тому
One of the best pieces of advice I received when starting my medical transition was that this doesn't happen overnight. If you are scared and confused as you begin HRT that is ok, and it is honestly normal. It is when you start thinking to yourself that you should not be doing this that you need to listen to that voice in your head. The changes were much slower than I realised and that gave my ...

FTM Sex and Intimacy - Sexuality Shifts
Переглядів 4133 роки тому
My sexual identity changed once I came out as trans and started a medical transition. I even thought I might be a gay man for a time. I was very lucky that my partner is so understanding and allowed me to mentally explore and come to the conclusion that I am bisexual. It can be a weird and confusing time to navigate.

The Idea of Going Stealth
Переглядів 623 роки тому
I can certainly see the appeal of going stealth. I have wanted to in a few scenarios myself, but it doesn't fit in with my lifestyle and personality. For me being visible means I am available if people need to talk it out. I don't go up to strangers and announce my transness, nor do I shy away when asked. INSTAGRAM: krisspeaking91

Post Op Depression
Переглядів 793 роки тому
Post op depression can come in a few different ways, for me it was about the look and the emotions behind the surgery. It is pretty normal to feel a little down after a major surgery especially when expectation is slightly different from reality. Yes it is ok to feel down and also happy about the same event.

    Im a trans guy, rn i really, really don’t want to be trans, i felt this way at the beginning of my journey. I recently joined theater for the first time. Ive had a lot of fun, met a lot of new, amazing people. I have a dressing rehearsal soon, requiring Plain white shirts to be worn. It’s so damn simple, so simple. But it isn’t at the same time. I have a binder that still reveals a good bit of my chest (lgbtunicorns) and i wear hoodies to layer and cover my chest. Im worried im gonna have to drop out of the play, because there’s no way im gonna show up to my school, surrounded by deeply homophobic/transphobic peers, and stand on stage at practice with the body of a girl. I feel like nothing is going to help me.

  • @stevewestenra1881
    @stevewestenra1881 10 місяців тому

    This was such an honest, raw video. I struggle a lot with the fact that I've often (mostly) just wanted a cis body. It feels like there's a pressure nowadays to disavow dysphoria entirely (and I get why--it's wonderful to want to help people *not* feel bad about their bodies by normalizing difference, etc), but for me dysphoria is a huge and ongoing part of my trans experience. This is a big reason why, I think, I actually don't write a lot of trans male characters. I've been told by friends and CPs before that I should and felt pressure to, and I probably will write a trans male MC someday, but for me my transness enters my characters in different ways. I grew up freeform roleplaying with two of my childhood/teenage best friends and being able to play cis male characters was so freeing for me. It was absolutely both an escape from my body and a way for me to explore my gender identity. My fictional, written characters are, I think, fulfilling a similar role in way. It's frustrating, because so much support for trans writers is focused only on those of us who write trans protagonists (and that's obviously important and awesome), but I can't help but feel like if the support is intended for real trans people who exist in the world, it should also extend to trans (and queer) writers who don't. There's no right or wrong way to be trans, and thank you for sharing your experiences and thoughts. So much of what you said here resonated.

    Good video :) Watching this after just passing 2 years on T! Easily the biggest moment of clarity I had was after my first male haircut at a barbers. I went in as nervous as one could get (with long hair and still using my birth name) and came out a different person knowing how right it was for me. I will be forever grateful to them for the experience I had that day and glad to have the memory as a defining moment in transition.

    Hi kris Just wanted yo say you're actually applying the gel wrong. It's the reason the gel gets a bad name in the TRT world. You're not supposed to rub it in the way you're doing, if it was a oil based transdermal yes but its ethanol based transdermal, so by rubbing it in you're actually evaporating the solvents that are meant to carry it through the skin. Iv been on this gel for eight years now and on 2 pumps I'm at 30/nmol pre application. Im with a private clinic so iv been able to learn how to apply the most efficiently using blood tests to confirm. The proper way to apply is to spread on thinly with the most minimal rubbing in as possible so it's still wet so the ethanol can do its thing..carry it through the skin. I use digital scales to pump out only half a gram (0.5g) at a time to spread it out thinly as possible in different sections(arm,shoulders). Total amount 2.5grams. Rubbing it in is probably why you need 4 pumps. Hope this helps MrT

    i know that this doesn't sound responsible, it for sure isn't i guess, but i was prescribed 50mg of testogel a week ago and since then ive been doing it 2 times a day, in the morning & in the evening. so i increased my dose from 50mg, as i was told to, to 100mg. i feel like i won't have enough testosterone for visible changes if i don't do so. is there maybe anyone that also did that? or that can tell me if its a bad idea and whats gonna happen? i planned on doing the higher dose for like 2 weeks or a month so i might get quicker changes in the beginning and then be able to be more patient when i go back to the prescribed dosis. i'm a very impatient person & i was desperate, that's why i started doing that. i could just stop it right now but i wanted to ask first if thats neccessary. thanks for any opinions or help in advance!
