I just started T on Monday!!!
Mr. Meeseeks congrats!
Congrats!
hassan123king You are a horrible person
hassan123king he is a male that is in the process of transitioning. he used to be a female. and no when he meets a partner he would need to be straightforward saying i am a trans guy or whatever he wants to say. quite frankly he doesn't even have to explain himself to anyone because whatever he decides is valid and will be okay as long as it makes him happy.
Mr. Meeseeks
*CONGRATULATIONS!*
My boyfriend is trans and he came out to me recently ( I met him when he was already A year of T in and has had his top surgery) and I'm trying to do research and understand him more because I love him and just oof just thought I'd comment i love your videos they've helped a lot!!
Good on you for being so understanding!
@@Wickedthtz you're pathetic and sad.
Same with me 🥰
A few months ago I knew almost nothing about this topic and since I'm with my bf I literally know any German UA-cam Video about trans*people and I try to support him as good as I can. 🥰
You're a lovely girlfriend and your boyfriend is lucky when he has you by his side. Thanks for understanding him.
That's sweet of you :D
honestly the only thing I'm scared of is losing my beautiful hair 😥
Taxxes you can get super realistic toupees you can cut and even dye, don't sweat it :)
Same!! Everyone I know loves how soft my hair is.
me too, one side of my family has no hair loss but one has total hair loss and im sooo scared to see which one I get ahah
all the men in my family were balding by the time they were in their 20s.. I don't want to loose my hair but oh well.. I'll find it in 2/3 years time when I hopefully start T.. Yeh the waiting list to see a specialist is 2 years long then even more waiting before a "treatment" plan can happen
I'm scared of that and my voice not dropping properly
I recently came out as trans FtM to my parents, to which they did not accept. But this video is keeping my belief strong, and i will transition in a few years ^-^
edit: after 3 years of struggles and scares, I am 18 almost 19 years old. in 2-4 weeks I will be going to the clinic with my now-supportive mum to get my Testosterone date!
lots of love to struggling trans kids thinking they will never reach their goal; I never used to believe people when they'd say "it gets better" in their timeline comps, but it truly does. after 3, almost 4 years, it's starting to get better. it's *finally* getting better. I made it, I believe in all of you, too. 💛
edit 2: I got my first T shot yesterday!
edit 3: I realize I wasn't dating the other updates! you're all so kind and supportive, I've loved experiencing changes like my beard growing. it's january 2024, and I'm over 2 years on testosterone. I have a hysterectomy scheduled for May due to my period coming back and being much much worse despite the rising T dose and several medications that were supposed to stop my cycles. I'm struggling to find top surgeons who take my insurance. despite all the new negatives, I need to remind myself that I'd rather deal with these issues on T rather than still be waiting to start. I've been out as a trans man since I was about 14 or 15 years old, and I've just turned 21. my goal for this year is to recover from the hysterectomy and get my top surgery scheduled so I can finally go swimming again by 2025-26. I've kept pushing because I need to see myself happy, I hope every trans and queer person out there finds their reason to keep fighting 🧡
Earth's Alien be brave man. My family doesn't accept me much either. still call me by my government name and it's quite annoying. but just remember that the people that matter don't mind and the people that mind don't matter.
Well its over a yesr since this comment, hows it gone so far? Have they come around?
God of Beans yeah gimme that update
Ghostly._ Alien why can’t you just except who you truly are getting hormone pills won’t make you happy ever!
Florida prin Samuel Because it's not how that works.
"My butthole got hairy."
*SHIT IM A BOTTOM 😂*
If it's a major issue you could get laser hair removal. I assume you're trans. If so, good luck in your transition!
Eezriaa this is amazing. it is 2:00 am and i am laughing my lungs out
MY FIRST THOUGHT TOO
Same
It's not really a big deal for most people (tops). Also, yeah laser or just trimming it with clippers works.
I keep getting ads for men with low t levels and I like to watch them like "Ah, thank you sir, but you see, *I'm trans I already have low t levels* "
everytime I see you, I just get the biggest Remus Lupin vibe. you're so cool, thank you for existing
Jack Hart holy shit yes marauders era Remus
yessss
Yess! Omg thats so true!
I see him as David Tennant. Younger and less angsty, but the same vibe and hotness.
thank you for telling the world this amazing descovery:)
Dude, you're 22. Many guys have 'spotty beards' at your age. Keep it up, you're doing great. And you're sooooo cute. :)
That's sexy
Well i'm 23 and i have no beard at all
@@reneweiss96 Mine didn't really grow in until I was about 28. Give it time, and be clear: beards are nothing. You are a lovely person regardless of your follicles. :)
Jeff Freeman sir that was so sweet i-
@@thisisntskylah love love love
I love how honest you are about your experience. As a straight female born in the correct gender, there are things I dont know about the transgender community and would like to in order to be a better ally(I also want children and the possibility that they could be transgender makes me want to learn). It's incredible that you are so passionate about educating people on what you've gone through. Also, you are hilarious. Bringing humor to the subject is difficult but allows people to connect.
"I also want children and the possibility that they could be transgender makes me want to learn."
You are amazing.
umm, wow, you're gonna make an amazing parent.
KatMonster you would be a great parent
Omg yess, Im actually transgender so I agree. All though I am trans I still try to learn as much as I can. Im Trans FTM (female to male) so i mostly try to learn about MTF trans individuals so I can help them since I don't exactly know much about the opposite side of the Trans spectrum (which includes nonbinary, gender fluid etc.)
You are literally one of the best cishet allies I have ever seen, keep up the good work!
My brother grows facial hair real quick, but my other brother doesn't. I mean I haven't even started Testosterone and I'm growing a mustache...
Eezriaa same over here! 😂
I'm not even out, so people are like: You know you have a moustache, right?
then I think: I know, I love it
but I can't say that yet 😥
My Freroli why not?
Lord Freeza yeah, you know, because I'm not out and people are going to think I'm crazy then 😅
My Freroli sooo? People will think your crazy anyway
Lord Freeza yeah, that's true 😄
I'm a cis male, but it's like hearing you describe how puberty changed me ^^. And yes, beards can take time to develop. I'm 25 now, and it's still filling in; at this rate, I believe I may have a full beard by 30. Your sides are stronger than mine. And you've got way more chest hair, I look like a pubescent boy in comparison!
R Berg don’t be rude
@R Berg So does Jamie..
R Berg this is a big oof moment because Jamie has had bottom surgery
So tell us, do you have a beard now that it’s been 4 years?
That part about beards was weirdly relatable, I was 18 when I had to start shaving myself for the first time. Not because I had such a massive beard, but because of these weirdly long, 3-4 highly blonde colored hairs that were growing out of my chin.
When I was about 21 I could grow something a bit of a ring-beard, but it still was really fluffy type of hair and my cheeks were all over the place concerning coverage.
At 30 when I started female hormones it was sort of filling in on more places at that time...
Honestly, the more uncomfortable thing was how boys in high school would make remarks about how boy-ish I looked even while being in puberty...
But ok, by now I know that a lot of people are pretty clueless about puberty and it's effects, whether that's male or female puberty, which is also not helped by the fact that I basically had puberty screening for boy-girl gendernonconforming children from 11 to about 14, so I knew full well what was coming my way
Obviously I didn't have the psychology part, I got the screening not for being trans (I would find out 5 years after the screening ended), but because I was not growing very well and they wanted to rule out a possible hormonal problem (oh the irony)...
Started T yesterday and I'm convinced I've watched every transition timeline in the span of the last 24 hours
@Fuck You oh my god it's been a year I didn't even realize..... It's going great!! It helped so much with my dysphoria, I'm not embarassed of speaking anymore, I can wear pretty much whatever I like, even do makeup without getting dysphoric bc I still get read as male. It's been a great experience overall and I'm so glad I started T
im in the same boat rn lmao
@@queefgod420oo, if you even notice, I'm starting testosterone next month haha >:3.. What changes are you noticing now?
"My butt crack is probably the hairiest place on my body." that's gonna be my senior quote
"thicker twigs?" do you mean you have branch legs? haha really enjoyed this video jamie, you're happiness is infectious!
Haha, they're not big enough to be considered branches - they're still twigs, just not as thin twigs as they were before :P
Thank you! :)
I'm a 19 year old cis guy (started puberty at around 10 years old), I'm a hairy mothertrucker yet I can't grow a full beard for the life of me, my jawline facial hair only goes up to about a quarter of my cheek and then there's a random moustache that doesn't join to anything so it looks kinda weird, yet I refuse to shave it all of because without facial hair, I look like a 5 year old XD
Trans or not, you gotta be lucky with them genes when it comes to facial hair XD
Luis Dias certain hispanic races don't grow much beard! I hope whatever happens, you're happy! It can take time, as Jaime says.
@@louisamoran6237 I'm Native American and the men of my family also just have patchy beards! Wild how ethnic genetics effect that stuff
Louisa Moran this is sooo late but yes! my dad is from El Salvador 🇸🇻 and cannot grow a beard. (his mom and dad are he was born in usa though)
@@notourz I'm an Indigenous Canadian (hello fellow First Nations person) and the men in my family also have patchy beards. Luckily they don't lose much hair bc both sides of my family have very thick hair, but the beards? I'd be happy if I even get a stubble.
I’m *completely legally* starting T tomorrow and I’m so nervous
Jace congrats oml congrats!
after 3 years, how do feel?
How’s it going
*I can't wait to start Testosterone! My gender appointment isn't till July 24th 😭... I don't think I can wait!*
*yay*
Eezriaa Good for you:) I've been at "getting parents to understand" phase for about a year now haha but we are progressing
You can do it!! July 24th will come around super fast and once you've started T, the wait will seem so small (and so worth it).
Jammidodger thank you so much 😊
How do you get a gender appointment? And what is it really?
I might get my first shot tomorrow. Just the video I was hoping for
good luck
Mr. Malfoy good luck bro
Mr. Malfoy make videos about it
mylifeasNick thanks man
Good luck! :D
Think only part of T that scares me is the possible hair loss. My hair is the only part of my body that I like
Same, a lot of men in my family have hair loss as they age ;-;
I spit out my water as soon as you said "my butt hair came with a vengeance"
"a little bit.... a lot bit" hahahahsjw I really enjoy your personality, or how you portray yourself in your videos. You seem really sweet and kind. Have a great day! ♡
Aw thank you :D Hope you have a great day too
Jammidodger Thank you! I did actually heh
A lot bit is favourite bit if the video. It was so cute
I'm nonbinary and 2 months on T as of now and I'm rewatching this video bc it's interesting to compare the timelines! My changes came really quickly on 50mg of Androgel per day, it's honestly kind of mind blowing to see it! Love your videos as always 🖤
That's actually very interesting. I'm not trans, but I still watched the entire video because it's really interesting to hear so much about the things your parents never tell you and school never teaches you.
I wish the public school system taught us useful stuff like this, not just to trans youth but cis people too so they can grow up educated and open minded
@@hries05 Honestly, I had education like this, but it had a severe amount of trouble with biological diversity.
Weirdly enough, for all the biological diversity it lacked, it did talk about intersex people, even though the book (from 1997, I was in high school from 2000-2004) wrongly labeled those people "transgenders".
The thing I hated the worst was reading all kinds of things about how the developing body of a boy would change and how that would look like, and observing some things completely different or not at all, but especially reading:
"The body of a boy will stop growing between the 17th and 18th year in life."
Since I had been screened for boy puberty because I didn't exactly grow very well when I was 11 (I was 4ft 7.11" at that time, with the average for age- and sex-related peers being more near 5ft 1" to about 5ft 3") and my final year in high school included biology as an exam subject, we got a lot of repeated stuff from the first 2 years (the school system in The Netherlands is ehm, complicated to explain).
When I was 16 I was about 5 ft, and everyone was still pretty much towering out above me.
You can probably imagine how that part of my book lingered in my mind when I had turned 17 and was 5ft 5".
I became 5ft 7" after my body stopped growing at 19 and a couple of months, and that height is the average height for females in The Netherlands (calculation date over the whole of 2018 I think) so I kind of got the best of both worlds, because while I had been able to make peace with the fact I had gotten a reasonably normal height, it's basically even better now.
But I honestly wished my book would've simply contained a line saying: "When you will stop growing depends on your genetics. Not everyone will stop growing at the same age or after the same amount of growth."
My boyfriend is a cis man and is super excited that his beard has started to thicken up around his cheeks. He's 43. I'm FTM and we're both looking forward to having beard competitions when I eventually start on T.
I'm not on T, natural born dude here and I can't grow nothin'!! you got way more that me, bro!
Kurt Hummel I'm sorry, I can 've thick headed and at times oblivious. was that sarcasm or something of ill will?
Kurt Hummel I didn't take it that way but just wanted to be sure. by the way, I am curious about this subject, do you mind answering some of my questions or clearing some stuff up?
Kurt Hummel so a dude who has zero understanding of this stuff yet fully accepting of it, I wanted to share my knowledge of having male parts, you know, to share bits of info, advice and just purely educational things that are more miscellaneous. I went over with this with Friends and they say that's some what offensive, my question is why?
Kurt Hummel wow, thanks, I finally understand. well, I guess that was it, have a nice day, bro
anti evergreen
Who is Kurt Hummel?
I'm so confused lol
General question : For 23 years I had a little sister, who recently came out to me as trans. So my sister became my brother. Being in the LGBT+ community myself, I think I reacted okay, I reacted how I would have wanted people to react when I came out as a lesbian. I've been very good at using masculine pronouns (only misgendered him once since the begining and I felt so bad!) and pretty much nothing has changed , I'm just being the supportive big sister that I've always tried to be.
The thing is, no one else in the family knows, so depending on who I'm talking to, I'm switching from "my sister" to "my brother" and it's 1)confusing and frustrating 2)really hurting him if he's around because he's still looking for when/how to come out. I want to be supportive and help, I don't want him to get hurt, but, having came out myself, I know that it's something personal that you have to do at your own pace. I guess I'm just really lost as to how to be a good ally and what help can I provide? I feel like I'm helplessly watching one of the most important person in my life going through hell and I can't do anything. If anyone has any tips as to what I should and shouldn't do ... Please
Just Me Mayel don't you go blame religion
What? I wasn't, sorry if it sounded like I was, it was never my intention.
Just Me Mayel talk to him and ask him how can you support him better
Thank you, I try to do that but communication isn't his (nor my !) favorite thing in the world apparently ^^ But we'll get there!
vanillasplash should advise them to see a doctor that specializes in that stuff so they can get it done professionally insurance covers this sort of stuff.. good luck
4 days on T here! Thanks for all your sharing, I really enjoy your vids. I'm 47 so this change has been a LONG time coming. I love all the changes I can anticipate, but jesus I can't cope with the idea of butt hair coming!
I’m 38, and your comment was one I was hoping to see. I feel like the over 25 ftm crowd is pretty thin.
Can't wait to start testosterone when I'm 18
You talking about all those changes and how exciting they were to you really made me grin - I'm a cis woman, and my hips got noticeably wider when I started birth control, which really freaked me out at first. I mean, as a cis person who has finished puberty, you don't really expect changes like that to happen in your body any more, but of course, hormones are never not going to have an effect. As long as they are no negative effects (like crazy uncontrollable emotions that really make you suffer), I guess it's just cool to see how malleable and full of potential our bodies are, in any case, and how our genes only do so much in defining them. :)
As a transwoman, it was wiiiild to experience having to change clothes sizes, 16 years after having started boy puberty during which clothes with new sizes were obviously pretty common.
It was so alien to notice at 30 years old: "Ooh...those pants don't fit anymore..." :P (I'll add to this that I have had problematic small sizes as a guy, because next to not being supertall, I'm also twig-like in shape, so most pants either fit fine lengthwise and are WAY to wide around my hips, or were fine around the hips but then were stupidly long...)
3:46 "Boop hairy bum." Why did I find that cute ?
Larry Noodles I found it cute too
Hi ! I just want to say that your channel makes me so happy, and a little bit more confortable with myself..
(I'm french so I don't undertsand everything you say but the most part ^^) You are an amazing men and eve if I don't know you in the reality, i'm proud of people like you..
is it just me or does he look like David Tennant?
Casual Peach Cosplay he is really handsome
Casual Peach Cosplay A little bit, like he could be his son
I was wondering if anyone else noticed this, haha he totally does.
Yup
IVE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHO HE LOOKED LIKE FOR SO LONG. THANK YOU FOR THIS 🙏🏻
Wow. This as a cis-gendered woman, and mum of a son who's got lots of questions about trans identity, was very insightful and i don't mean this in an insulting way, but I'd never have guessed you are trans. I first watched your fiancee's video and it was so touching. This channel is very informative and gives my son and i a lot to talk about. Thankyou so much!
While it doesn't matter, I do wonder how old your son is. The "lots of questions" sounds like the 13-14 year old in classes that I volunteered in to talk about my experience as a transwoman, some classes even voluntarily decided to stay after the bell for recess had sounded and asked their mentor if the lesson after recess could be scheduled in such a way that they could have recess later and catch up on the lesson they were supposed to have after recess.
Some other classes who had the end of their schoolday basically start with the end of the lesson in which a group of people (me included, obviously) told about their stories, which could be people who were gay, bisexual, transgender, lesbian, that kind of thing, more than once had this response upon hearing the last bell signal: "Ehm, NO? We still have so much to ask!!! Is it okay that we stay a bit longer?"
And then there were the obviously funny responses, either when we had someone who, in his masculinity looks a bit like JammiDodger was along as a transman, and I was sitting next to him. Sometimes when there was time the students were allowed to try and guess "what we were" (this to teach them the importance that you can't necessarily tell if someone is gay, bisexual, lesbian or trans).
They either started with me with "Definitely a woman" or "Maybe gay, not sure, but yea, a woman" or with the transman: "Deeeeefinitely a guy, maybe married...maybe has children."
So whenever I started to talk and went with "Hi, I'm Iris and as you can obviously tell from my voice, I wasn't exactly born a girl" *explosion of disbelief rocks the classroom*, and after my story had been told and questions had been asked and they went to the other person, they were suddenly A LOT more careful, though they usually still had it wrong with the transman.
So when he then started "Hi, I'm [his name] and I was born a girl" there was an even bigger explosion of disbelief (think of things like "NOO!!!!" "OMG!!!!" "WHAT THE FUUUUUCK HOW!?" :P )
As much as it was obviously needed to give those lessons, local government pulled the plug on them (as the Rainbow-city they love to propagate that they are...go figure).
It was lovely reading your reply and seeing the same curiosity.
I just wanted to say that I love you and your videos, a lot. Your videos have helped me transition a lot especially with a non supportive mum. I love you!
get up jøhnny bøi l-/ same

get up
Hope your mom changes her mind! We support you :D
Fre sh a vaco do I'm a simple guy. I read your name and I laugh for an hour straight. *sigh* vine..
Honestly, thank you for all the TMI because the worst changes are the ones we don't expect and worry might be abnormal, so hearing about it all was very helpful.
I’m a demiboy and i’ve been questioning if I want to go on T or not and this video really helped!! I’m leaning toward yes and I’m meeting with an endocrinologist soon :D
I’m 15 and about to start T. Thank you for this, it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for :)
Congrats on starting T!
You are 15?! Thats so early! I am one year younger and man would i love some T. But i am too much of a baby to come out yet.
IM STARTING T NEXT WEEK AND IM SO HAPPY(!!!) THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO LOVE YOU
That didn't age too well
holy shit i think i'm trans.
edit: a year later, im a completely different person. my pronouns used to be they/he and i was omnisexual or smth. now i go by she/they and im bi and i love being a girl. im so glad i went on a journey of self-discovery and am finally comfortable in my own skin (:
good luck with whatever your journey is, friend.

im not trans but i def support the community. ur vid was kind of a recommendation, not even sure why, but i clicked and honestly, aside from the educational info im sure helps a lot of people, your a pretty funny guy! I swear I laughed out loud a few times! so, you have gained a sub from me! :) awesome to hear about ur journey and im gonna binge watch a few of ur vids right now :)
So basically you had male puberty. Proud of you.
It’s so weird looking at comparison photos of Jamie because you can see his eyes look really similar, but the whole rest of his face is really different.
But also you can feel how much happier he is being himself
I got my first shot two days ago… cried and panicked when I had to inject myself oh my god… but I am just excited to finally become who I wanted my whole life. Definitely looking for tips all around on what to expect
This makes me feel hopeful for when I eventually get on T. I'm quiet petite and "cute" looking so I'm kinda nervous that I'll still look and feel really feminine but this makes me feel better.
Also your beard is making me so jealous XD I'm hoping I can grow one myself but we'll see.
7:42 This cracked me up! I loved this run through! I was having a bit of a low day and just being reminded that change does happen brought a smile to my face! :) Thanks
Haha, glad you liked it and that it made you smile! All the best :)
"Eyebrowier" is my new favorite word! 🖤🖤🖤
Y’all I start testosterone tomorrow and I haven’t processed it yet until right this moment 11:02 pm the night before. I’m so worried. I’m currently 16 btw. I can’t wait to see the changes but I’m honestly a little scared ahaha I’m not sure why I’m scared but I am. My heart is pounding! It’s such a strange thing to know I’m gonna do in a few hours. GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL MUCH LOVE✨❤️💅
Y’ALL I FORGOT BOTTOM GROWTH WAS A THING. KINDA SCARED ABOUT THAT ONE TBH
YOU GOT THIS DUDE!! Congrats btw
@@eggz8386 thank you!! It’s honestly been great!
Your videos are always honest and open about how your journey is. Love this - I'm a cis woman and your videos help me understand people who are transitioning, more. I don't have many friends who are trans. Thanks for being so open and honest about your experience and life!
you talking about your body with so much joy and awe brings me joy and awe. it's kind of amazing for you to be going through these teenage changes but with the clarity of an adult. It lets us all appreciate them.
I'm so grateful I found this channel. I'm 16 and just recently came out and seeing Jammi talking about these things and just how far T can take me and its limits is giving me both hope and accurate expectations. Thank you, Jammi.
Jamie, although I'm not a trans,I love watching your videos n recommend to most of my friends to watch your amazing videos...love u
Shreyoshi Das Just trans, you can leave the 'a' out ;)
Mr. Malfoy it made me giggle, I think it's just a language barrier
Mr. Malfoy, thanks for letting me know that. .but I guess u understood what I wanted to say...
+Caelan Alexander Could very well be, but in English it's just an adjective, not a noun :)
yass i love this guy he's so helpful
bruh.. I haven’t even transitioned yet and my butt still hairy
I cannot wait to go on T, so so bad. All these changes fit what I wanna see so I look forwards to it so much! Thank you for making these videos, they really help deal with the pains of dysphoria :)
This is so interesting! It's always good to know what's likely to happen 👌👍😊
My boyfriend started T yesterday! Super excited! Thank you for the video
I just had my fourth shot of T and I am eagerly awaiting some of these changes! Thanks for the video Jamie! You're adorable!!
you're a real inspiration to me, you just give me a lot of patience for my journey and remind me I'll get where i want to be one day
Yes Jamie this is exactly what I needed today😂
Happy 10 years now!
I’m starting T on Tuesday, I was looking for something to make me less nervous and this really helped, thank you for being you, Jamie 💕
My jaw dropped when you showed that vid of you before. You changed so much!!
i'm starting t within the next month, whenever my endocrinologist receives all the info she needs from my therapist i can officially start! thanks for this vid it was really informative!
I'm about to go to my first ever therapist appointment to see if I truly want this transition. I'm so excited!
I'm scared that the therapist does not let me transitioning
All of your videos are SO helpful and you're truly such a pleasure to watch (:
Hi Jamie! Just started T this week and am super excited but also a bit anxious about it because I really didn't know in depth how it would all feel with my body changing. This video was extremely helpful. Thanks so much!
Legit I have so much hair everywhere (and I mean *everywhere* - I’ve had dark thick leg and arm hair since I was about 3) and I’m not on T yet. God, I’m going to turn into a grizzly bear.
I have just seen the difference between your hips pre T and after 5 years. I am an "hourglass" myself (still after 2 years) and nearly as skinny as you. So I am curious: Are you lifting weights, doing sports? How have you gained those muscles to disguise your hips and getting "straighter"? Or has it changed like this?
AnarchNines there is weight redistribution. female hormones cause fat to build on the hips, making them wider (the bone is wider as well but this is part of it) whereas when you go on T the weight moves to form a more boxed out masculine shape. most of it goes to the stomach I think
AnarchNines i think i saw him comment once that he does obliques. do those. it helps a lot
Niamh Barry After 2 years I still have a huge gap... :-(
AnarchNines oh that's shitty im sorry. I bet there are exercises you can do to build muscle there. Try googling it or ask a trainer at a gym
Thank you!
I just started T today, at 27. Have followed you for a year but I think I avoided your channel bc it made me look at being NB and I wasn’t ready for it. Thanks for being there when I need ya
happy 1 month!
thank you for making this video. i'm 10 months on t and have been nervous about my facial hair not growing in, it's come in so slightly so it's comforting to know it can take a lot of time to grow.
I first noticed in the first 4 weeks
-pee and body order changing after a week or so
-I stopped my period 3 days after taking it
-my throat had his funny feeling 4 days in, and after a week it really started to show it was ready to drop. It got deeper
It's sometimes so weird reading about these voice-drop experiences as a transfemale. My body took it's time to do some of the things in boy puberty, and next to boy puberty starting late in general, my voice was one of those things as well.
Not only did the drop happen slowly, the amount of frequency change also wasn't that big actually (last time I was at the speech therapist I was able to see this in the frequency-cloud they gave me after a voice-test, and I was hitting the bottom of the spectrum in which people can be in doubt whether someone is male or female).
Hey I'm a year and a week on T now nice (I wrote my original comment months in)
I'd like to know about your non physical changes, like mood, personality, temperament, and everything that makes you you on the inside.
I am gonna start T in a few minutes! I am in the waiting room right now. Thank you so much, Jamie.
Jamie DESERVES more subs
Jamie, I just wanted to tell you how very much I enjoy your videos. You've been really informative for me, as I began my transition at the age of 46, 3 years ago. I always knew I was trans I just didn't because my wife and I waited until our children were grown, since transitioning tends to be costly, and well you know, kids are too. I like that your videos are informative and helpful, because a lot of the trans guys on UA-cam tend to focus more on the items that help you sexually or help you pass, and while that is wonderful, it isn't info I need. (At my age if I still need sex aids or info, I may as well give up, right?? ) And the fact that Shaba appears with you at times, really helped my wife and I as well. Shaba has the same sort of perspective my wife has, as she's also known you before transition. Anyways, just wanted to post this to let you know how much you inspire me, and have helped me. 😀
There are some people here who are saying that Jamie was born a male and is pretending to be a trans FtM to get views...If this is true, how dare YOU, but if these accusations are false, how dare THEY. Believe what you want, as long as Jamie is loving happily and not harming anyone, who cares. We should be accepting everyone for who they are ♥️
He was born a male, doesn’t make him a cis man though. They’re rly transphobic stereotyping what trans men should look like
Hi! I love watching your videos and seeing your upbeat attitude is always encouraging. Thanks for sharing your experiences!
This was such an awesome video!
I'm starting T next week and this has just made me so much more excited and positive about it all!!!
You're part of the bois now welcome to the club homie
yay you uploaded this today on my birthday
HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!
Happy Birthday! :D
Great video, thanks for explaining all of the changes! It makes me so happy that T is an option for all of the people who want/need it, science is great. :)
Your videos are so helpful. Thank you for this. I’m starting T in less than 3 weeks and I can’t wait! It’s good to have an idea of what I can expect.
i'm three weeks on t today i'm so excited for the changes
Yam you're almost at a month!!! I'm happy for you :D
Yam yay! I'm hopefully going to start this year... gotta be on good terms with parents first tho haha
jammi you helped me so much when I was in about 7th grade still having no idea what I was but you really helped me realize ever since I was little I wanted to be in a mans body. It was very hard for me but I finally came out and Im now Elliot
I start in a month, thank you, I've been spending time researching for years now but I always need to come back and check my facts and make sure I'm ready for everything coming my way. cheers
you are hilarious, like I dont even care what your saying, I just like listening to you laugh at yourself, great attitude
As a cis girl with who regularly sweats through tshirts in half a day, i'm thankful I dont want T, because increasing my sweat production sounds nightmarish for my laundry schedule.
Starting t tommorow so excited
Update I'm on t for 5 weeks tommorow I can already see my voice dropping a bit lol it's so nice
hows it going now?
4:36 damn....the after picture is GLORIOUS
thank you! I'm still confused, but these videos are really nice and give really good information about what to expect!
you are one of the most handsome guys i ever seen. have a great day :)
i wanna start t but like i love the thick long hair i have on my head so much and i dont wanna lose it 😭
i know this is an old video and i may have watched it when i was first coming out but seriously jamie i seriously appreciate you having made these-- i'm finally seriously considering looking into going on t and i'm so excited to think about it but i'm trying to make sure i've got a really clear idea of what i'm looking into especially now that there's so much misinformation about transitioning out there being pushed around. this is seriously gonna help so much, thank you
HOLY SHIT. You've changed soooooo much. It startled me a at 8:16 a little, that is amazing!
I'm proud of you💜💜💜
I was so unsure of my identity, and I just realized that I want to look just like you.
Well
Not the mustache, those aren't my thing. But everything else.
Watched these videos compulsively a few years ago when I was thinking maybe there was some possiblity I wasn't female, coming back to it about to start testosterone and comfortable with my identity is so surreal
(Thankyou for the education and validation, it helped me and so many other young men)
Thank you for sharing. I think those who are willing to treat these changes as just facts of life, are leading a quiet revolution, helping trans people simply be seen as people.
