Please take a moment to look into the long term effects of testosterone on the biologically female body. Your longevity and organ health is just as important as your mental wellness. I simply encourage you to use temperance and maybe take breaks in between “cycles.” There’s a lot of research out there on how to do this the safest way possible, if this is your only way forward. Much love and light. ❤
If you have studies, could you link me those please? Testosterone is naturally present in the female body. However, at much lower amounts than a man's body. The water is murky on the long-term effects of transitioning. I knew this when I decided to start T. Maybe my organs are at risk. Even so, I am SIGNIFICANTLY happier on testosterone. My depression has lifted, my PMDD is gone, my digestion is better, my insomnia is gone, my cortisol is down within range now, my temper is much more even and I'm more rational, my brain works 1000x better and so much more. While I appreciate you expressing your concern in a kind way (unlike many people), even if testosterone damages my organs and cuts my life short, I'd much rather live a short happy life than a long unhappy life. The thought of stopping T and going back to the way I was makes me physically sick. Going back to that from how I feel now is absolutely terrifying.
You look great!
You look like a young Health Ledger
I'm so Happy that you are becoming Who you want to be👏👏💕

Who or what in your life caused you to hate your body?
