found you through reddit and i'm so happy I did. I'm nonbinary and have been looking for good sources of inspiration/information but to no avail (just searching non binary on youtube led me to a bunch of negative or transphobic videos). I totally agree with what you said at the beginning about the misconception of having to fully transition. I didn't even know low dose T was a thing so tysm for making this video !
thank you for this video was really helpful and made it seem less scary for me to consider probably starting low t being non-binary :) i’m somewhere in the middle and i’m androgynous and i’m just looking to define my appearance
Genderfluid & Genderflux person here! (They/She/He) I'm literally crying because all of this is exactly what I wanted & needed to hear. I've recently found out about low-dose T but was apprehensive. Gonna definitely do more research because I want to be able to carry pregnancies eventually, and idk how low-dose T will effect that.
I'm an androgynous trans guy so this is helpful. I'm thinking of going on T full dose uninhibited until I get the permanent changes I want and then I'm probably going to start a dht blocker to prevent hair loss. I also don't care about facial hair so it works out since dht blockers stop/slow new hair growth. I get really anxious about the hair loss thing since my dad has major hair loss :( I really love my hair so I dont want to lose it.... hopefully I get all the permanent changes I want before any hair loss happens. Anyway good vid, sorry for rambling abt myself pffft
Thank you for this comment, I am very worried about hair loss as well and wanted to hear from other people what they are doing about that!! I appreciate it very much
lol it sounds like i wrote this comment... i feel very much the same. I'm a fairly feminine trans guy who hasnt started transitioning and I dont really want facial hair at all and I really dont want to lose any hair... I also don't want a super deep voice.
Hairloss has also rlly freaked me out but if it makes u feel better u need the bald genes in both X chromosomes so if at least one of ur parents don’t have MPB genes u run a good chance of not being bald either :))
I had hair loss about 2 months in. It grew back with minoxidil, but I wish I started using minoxidil when I started T because now I have these short pieces that will take a while to grow out.
i am a more male leaning nonbinary person so this is really helpful for me because i've wanted to lower my voice and just go on T in general but i was worried about going on T because of some strong effects but this has been super helpful so thank you for making this video
As a trans nb person waiting to hear back from the local clinic, I'm really hoping to get on a dose too. This video was really helpful and gave me some hope that, although I feel like the people in my country are still a little confused about how and when to treat nb people, I might be able to get the procedures I want eventually. Thank you, you seem very cool and fun and it's very pleasant to listen to you talk!
thanks so much for your comment. i’m really happy to hear this video helped you. i’m sorry to hear that you live in a country that makes all of this even more difficult than it already is. i hope you’re able to find good resources and are able to get the procedures and hormones that you’d like. best of luck with everything!
Injecting low dose is definitely not difficult to measure correctly if you have the right size syringes. Interestingly for me, in 3 weeks i had cis-male testosterone levels. In about 3 months I was suuuuper high. Like nearly 900. (My dose is 20mg weekly fyi). My body really likes it I guess. My point is you never know what's going to happen!
I had no idea that you can go on a low dose of testosterone. My little sibling is non binary and they feel like they look and sound too feminine. I told them to go on T but we thought that you had to go all the way or not at all. I'm very excited to let them know that they can still go on testosterone without going all the way. ❤❤
Hi! I'm on low dose T (the gel) been about two months and it took me SO LONG to finally start but I am so glad that I did. Thank you for this video its refreshing and validating seeing another trans nb person doing low dose T
@@thedeath3016 I actually switched to gel after being on it for 8 months since my levels were so low and barely had any changes. I have a YT channel as well documenting my journey if you want to check it out :) everyone's body is different in how it reacts and receives T I hope this helps!
This is so really helpful! My parents,,,eh,, they don’t really except me? I’m non-binary, or demiboy,,,,They just put it to the side? I want to go on T, but I was worried that I had to go on a high dose. And also that there is hair loss on my dads side, all the boys practically including him. I think it’ll make me more comfortable with my voice (I also wanna get buff- and a more defined face cUZ man my FACE IS ROUND)
I'm a non binary demi boy too :) I'm sorry your parents don't accept you. My parents are still working on using they/them pronouns with me and I've had to explain to my mom several times that yes, I can be non binary and occasionally wear a dress if I want to. It's all about what we're comfortable with as individual people. I hope your parents come around and I hope you're doing better now than when you originally commented.
i watched you back when the idea of medically transitioning was a distant dream. i am having my first hrt appointment tomorrow. thanks to you and all the other transmasc enbies that posted vids on here for giving me courage :))
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I've been considering going on hormones and I think this may be a good option for me. I've never felt like "real" girl, but I don't know if I identify as fully male either. I feel pretty in the middle, if not slightly more masculine
Meg, I'm so glad I've found your channel. Your videos help remind me that I'm not alone. I've struggled with non-binary feels my whole life and as of late it's bringing me to tears again. Debating really hard with myself whether to try low-dose T.
Hey this maybe TMI but I was wondering about any bottom growth. Im afraid of needles and have been looking for people with low dose transition experience. The fact that you use the pump instead of the shot makes me think you maybe the closes person to ask in this situation. You don't have to answer if its too personal just not many people who talk about it mention anything about bottom growth.
hi! no worries at all. thank you for being open and asking! i have experienced bottom growth, but not to the point where i need to change my underwear (i usually wear “women’s” boy shorts) or feel constantly uncomfortable when i move around. it really hasn’t been too noticeable and i only realized it was growing when i actually looked down and investigated (haha). it’s definitely a little more sensitive down there as well, but again it’s not like i notice it throughout the day. i hope this helped and feel free to message me if you have any other questions!
Ack! I relate!! I'm nonbinary for sure, maaaybe also transmasc, but I'm fine with Jules or Julia. Idk if I want he or she for pronouns but I'm not super fond of they for me. I know I want chest surgery and mmmmaayybeee low dose T, but not really bottom surgery. I love skirts and makeup, so that's always thrown me off even though I know trans men can wear effeminate.
I relate to this a lot, I know I'm non binary but idk what to about that, like idk if I want to transition medically, like with microdosing on t or also top surgery, like I get dysphoric sometimes bu I don't care other days, sometimes I like looking feminine but sometimes I have this mental image of me as a dude and it gets me really emotional, which confuses me bc it makes me think like, what if I'm a Trans man?? Or like Trans masc non binary person that sometimes is feminine??? I'm so confused, but idk that mental image kinda feels like me yknow? Lol I'm crying. Oh also, I don't think I really mind my name, tho my complete name feels too feminine which I don't like, it's Maribel so prefer Mari tbh like in my head it feels androgynous and even sometimes I think If was a dude that would be a cool name for me?? Idk
I've found that a lot of nb people change their names, unless they're already pretty gender neutral. I like my name, so it's nice to see someone else that keeps their feminine name. Also sucks that the appetite increase seems to be a trend, since my appetite already increased with my antidepressant
Great informative vid, I’m NB Trans but like the opposite way lol I started a low dose and then upped it, so basically I’m also looking for my halfway point too
Thank you so much for this video. I was seeing a gender therapist about a year ago, but because I didn’t want to look like a man they said I shouldn’t go on testosterone. I’ve been feeling really crappy lately and this video helped me feel more hopeful about my future.
I just realized, that, because you are oztside the binary, there are NO RULES. Also in names. Who cares if it is male or female? Nobody! Because you are neither male or female! So... Hello, I am a person who is propably demigirlfluid, and my chosen Name is most likesly going to be Ryuk. (from the Anime Death note, it was a nickname...) It is a boys name, but who tf cares? I am OUTSIDE THIS CONCEPT for GODS SAKE!
im 22 and found this super helpful, thanks for posting this video. ive come to terms with low dose t being something that i want, i've been super anxious about it though. this was helpful ty
Thanks so much I think I will consider this option. Before I thought that I’m really 100% ftm but now I feel like there’s something in between that I can’t explain
I'm afab but my fat distribution and bone structure is stereotypically male so I guess I got lucky in that department ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I don't think I would want t because idk what it could do for me except a deeper voice and more body hair (which I'm already hairy so no thanks)
I didn’t even know you could take a low dose of testosterone, this was really helpful for me! I’m a singer so I’m nervous about my voice never being the same so idk if I’m going to ever go on T but it’s so nice to know that if I decide to do it, it doesn’t have to be a full blown full dose☺️
Hey just wanted to say I’ve abandoned the full on trans process but didn’t even know a low T route was possible. A friend is going thru this now and I’m highly interested in embarking myself. Thanks for covering this and hope you cover more of your experience.
totally okay to ask! i definitely get my period less than i did prior to starting low dose t. recently, i haven’t gotten it in about 3-4 months. it really just fluctuates for me! i made a video about my period that you can check out as well!
thank you so much for making this video, i'm planning to get top surgery and my psychologist told me i might have to go on estrogen blockers so it doesn't grow back and i've just been thinking about whether i wouldn't rather go on T instead of those blockers but i've been unsure about going on T for the past three years, a permanent low dose might be the best solution for me, i didn't know this was an option! so really thanks again, this was a video i really needed to see!
thank you so much for sharing! this really warmed my heart and i’m so happy i could help in someway. let me know if you have any other questions! it can be scary, but do the best you can and listen to yourself!
Breasts do not grow back after top surgery your psych is wrong. See trans ppl with top surgery who aren't on T like ash & grace hardell and ryan cassata
@@tstorm4651 yeah i also thought so, since i also know those people! it didn't make much sense to me until he said that any amab person who starts taking estrogen will have breast growth, which i know very well is true because it's part of mtf transitions so then i suddenly panicked because it did make sense
Lien amab people going on estrogen develop breasts bc hormone replacement therapy is essentially makes you go through that ‘puberty’. since afab people develop breasts when they go through puberty, amab people on e will have the same/similar results. breasts will also not grow back if removed - they will develop once, and may get larger/smaller with changed in weight, but do not ‘regrow’ if removed :)
I’m not non-binary, but I do want to start low dose T as a compromise for my husband. I also have pcos so my body already produces more T than normal for an AFAB person. So I hope the changes aren’t as dramatic since I’m starting with a higher level anyway. Idk. I go back next week to get my lab results and hopefully start. I can’t wait to start though. I’m 30. I’ve waited years (long story) but thankfully I’ll see 40 ten years on T.
I've been having a lot of anxiety over going on T in the past few days and this video really helped calm me down a lot. I'm still worried about the genetic lottery that is hrt giving me a bad dice roll... But i have hope that low dose will help me achieve my goals without setting me back farther.. You're a cool person.
I recently discovered I'm nonbinary and suddenly starting to notice dysphoria about my arms, face, voice, and trying to figure out how to go about transitioning videos like this are very comforting and helpful
Finally! I’ve been struggling with identity for months now and you spoke exactly how I’m feeling. I’m masculine but not not trans male. I’m just weird. I’ve never heard of the gel which makes me interested. I’ve always been wary because of injections and would just like a little deeper voice. This video was wonderful thank you
im so glad i found your video, i’m 22 n genderqueer and going to be starting t soon while also living at home where i’m not out to my family or have told that i’m starting t. so when u mentioned that i’m not alone in this process i started to cry. thank you for sharing your story and journey publicly and for being so encouraging, i feel so much better starting to be who i always envisioned
Will be on low dose T like this for 2 years, keep the same changes, or overtime give you more changes. If that makes sense? Is your voice going to continue slowly getting deeper with each year, are you gonna to get more hairier or would it stay the same (if your dose stayed the same) theoretically
im nonbinary and have been scared about hormones for years but im slowly exploring then found out about low dose testosterone!! im making sure to research like crazy and wow this has been such an incredible help. much much love thank you endlessly
thank you so so so much for this, you have no idea how helpful this is like there's rlly not many videos abt gender-non conforming ppl doing t and I'm really considering so it's v helpful!!
I know I'm commenting s year later, but I really appreciated this. I identify as non-binary and want to start a low dose of T. I'm just worried once I start I won't feel comfortable. This really helped me! Thank you so very much.
i’m so happy this has been helpful! it’s totally normal to feel worried about starting t. exploring your gender is scary, but also really courageous. whether you decide to start t or not, i’m so proud of you for being you!
Does a low dose of T still lower your voice? And if you stop it can you keep your voice? I sing and I’m trans but idk if I will still be able to sing with a lower voice :(
Have you checked out Jake Edward on youtube/instagram? They had this worry because they do music. Maybe watching some of their videos would help you decide?
I just found this video also! Someone in the comments said some interesting stuff about singing and being on hormones... ua-cam.com/video/B9_BJ4tm9Lk/v-deo.html
Question is there a way to get T to not affect your voice so much? I want a lot of the effects but more than a slight voice drop is just too much for me. Lmk if you can. You’re looking good and happy 😃
Ahhh finally! I’m non-binary, and I can’t find any channels talking about being non-binary and transitioning and all that. All the content I can find centers around ftm transitions, which is close but not quite. Thank you so much for this! It’s so helpful!
I’m non-binary and keep saying I wish there was a way I could do something like take T but only be a little more masculine and not like full on transition (idk how to word what I’m trying to say 😭) I had no idea low dose T was an option!
i'd like to know what happened for you in the private parts i know it's kinda like almost taboo and ike pretty private but it's my main preoccupation not gonna lie. i heared that it do change pretty fast on high doses and it's permannant so i wonder if it is same on low doses at least i'd like to hear at least 1 experience about it so yeah if you are willing to share it would be like super appraciated and would probably impact my decision on do i or not lol ^^'
When I did my research about testosterone I came around the information that the gene that is responsible for hair loss is inherent from once mom side. So one would have to look out if the moms dad has still hair to see wether or wether not hair loss will happen once starting testo.
Thanks so much for the vid, really helpful (also always good to see Asian nb rep ❤️). If it’s not too personal, can I ask how low dose T affected your cycle? And if it stopped, did you experience any menopause symptoms like hot flashes?
happy to hear from another asian nb! my period has been all over the place since i started t. there has been no pattern whatsoever and i talk about that in a recent video around 6:23 : ua-cam.com/video/COc6-a02Pis/v-deo.html and i haven’t experienced any menopause symptoms - not that i know of at least!
I've been put on low-dose T for some medical reasons (anxiety and fast heat rate after starting on "standard dosage") and just now I found your channel. Thank you very much for talking about low dose HRT! I was lacking some references of people who were going through the same type of hrt as me, although I take IM injections.
Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been wanting to start T but didn’t want the full thing as i identify as non binary. Very helpful video I really appreciate it. ❤️❤️❤️
this is the first video ive seen of someone on a low dose after watching transition videos for years,,, ive been on the fence whether i would ever go on t for a while now but your results are awesome! thanks for sharing so much of your journey, i'll be watching a lot of your videos from now on lol
hi! it is a really big and scary decision so it makes sense that you can’t make up your mind. i made a video about how i decided to go on low-dose t: ua-cam.com/video/NWZ-5NhxCD0/v-deo.html
Damn! Just posted a video a couple weeks back because I felt like I wasn’t seeing any NBs talk about T. Stoked to learn there actually had been more of a conversation about that!! ua-cam.com/video/11ccOlCdfMw/v-deo.html
Thanks so much for this video, I feel like it addresses every question I had about wanting to be a little more masculine, but not wanting to “go all the way” LOL.
Hi! I just found this video and was wondering , do you still feel the same way? Any regrets? I'm genuinely curious. the way you described yourself in the beginning matches how I feel.
T is my Christmas present from my hubby this year. He got a nice Christmas bonus and we are finally able to afford it. I burst into tears with joy!! I've been watching testosterone videos for some time now and I know I'm ready. I only plan on micro dosing because I'm non binary, but I also have a lot of skin problems (hives, eczema, etc.), so I'm not sure if I will get gel or shots, but either way, my hubby is a nurse, so he will give me my shots if need be. Mentally, I've been preparing for it for over a year now. I'm excited, nervous, anxious, thrilled, etc. So many emotions. It's hard to find videos on low dose hormones, so thank you so much for your videos and sharing your transition with us. You are a life changer.
Thank you so much, I am nonbinary and going to start my low dose T soon, I found your video very helpful.
found you through reddit and i'm so happy I did. I'm nonbinary and have been looking for good sources of inspiration/information but to no avail (just searching non binary on youtube led me to a bunch of negative or transphobic videos).

thanks so much!! it makes me really happy to know that i’ve been able to help! don’t hesitate to send me a message or ask any questions! 🤙🏽

seriously, honestly, this was a saving fucking grace
Has you voice started to crack less now? I want to be a singer and idk, I just want to know

Thanks so much I think I will consider this option. Before I thought that I’m really 100% ftm but now I feel like there’s something in between that I can’t explain
if you stop taking t do you come back to being 100% “feminine”? I mean, like before you started taking it..?
man i vibe with this so hard. this makes me not feel weird anymore :)
I'm afab but my fat distribution and bone structure is stereotypically male so I guess I got lucky in that department ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I don't think I would want t because idk what it could do for me except a deeper voice and more body hair (which I'm already hairy so no thanks)
thank you so much for making this video, super helpful for me on my journey :)
Could you show comparison pictures? I think that would show the difference properly for those who are curious 😊
you can go to my instagram and see! (@meganelee)
How’s your vocal range? I like being able to reach high notes, but I want to reach lower notes too.
I didn’t even know you could take a low dose of testosterone, this was really helpful for me! I’m a singer so I’m nervous about my voice never being the same so idk if I’m going to ever go on T but it’s so nice to know that if I decide to do it, it doesn’t have to be a full blown full dose☺️

Does a low dose T also stops ur period? I hope that's okay to ask ^^"
totally okay to ask! i definitely get my period less than i did prior to starting low dose t. recently, i haven’t gotten it in about 3-4 months. it really just fluctuates for me! i made a video about my period that you can check out as well!
here is the most recent video where i talk about my period! ua-cam.com/video/uDoOfWMaF34/v-deo.html
@@megemiko Thank you! It really helps me a lot that you make videos about this :3
thank you so much for making this video, i'm planning to get top surgery and my psychologist told me i might have to go on estrogen blockers so it doesn't grow back and i've just been thinking about whether i wouldn't rather go on T instead of those blockers but i've been unsure about going on T for the past three years, a permanent low dose might be the best solution for me, i didn't know this was an option! so really thanks again, this was a video i really needed to see!
thank you so much for sharing! this really warmed my heart and i’m so happy i could help in someway. let me know if you have any other questions! it can be scary, but do the best you can and listen to yourself!
Breasts do not grow back after top surgery your psych is wrong. See trans ppl with top surgery who aren't on T like ash & grace hardell and ryan cassata
@@tstorm4651 yeah i also thought so, since i also know those people! it didn't make much sense to me until he said that any amab person who starts taking estrogen will have breast growth, which i know very well is true because it's part of mtf transitions so then i suddenly panicked because it did make sense
Lien amab people going on estrogen develop breasts bc hormone replacement therapy is essentially makes you go through that ‘puberty’. since afab people develop breasts when they go through puberty, amab people on e will have the same/similar results. breasts will also not grow back if removed - they will develop once, and may get larger/smaller with changed in weight, but do not ‘regrow’ if removed :)
I second what the person before me said. Breast tissue will definitly not grow back! No need to worry.
Thank you so much for posting this video. I feel so much less alone now
thank you for watching! i’m here for you and you are never alone in this journey! 💖
I’m not non-binary, but I do want to start low dose T as a compromise for my husband. I also have pcos so my body already produces more T than normal for an AFAB person. So I hope the changes aren’t as dramatic since I’m starting with a higher level anyway. Idk. I go back next week to get my lab results and hopefully start. I can’t wait to start though. I’m 30. I’ve waited years (long story) but thankfully I’ll see 40 ten years on T.
I've been having a lot of anxiety over going on T in the past few days and this video really helped calm me down a lot. I'm still worried about the genetic lottery that is hrt giving me a bad dice roll... But i have hope that low dose will help me achieve my goals without setting me back farther.. You're a cool person.
This video was really helpful to me as a non binary person that doubt on going on t , thank you so much
I recently discovered I'm nonbinary and suddenly starting to notice dysphoria about my arms, face, voice, and trying to figure out how to go about transitioning videos like this are very comforting and helpful
U are amazing .. thank you for this channel 💪
Finally! I’ve been struggling with identity for months now and you spoke exactly how I’m feeling. I’m masculine but not not trans male. I’m just weird. I’ve never heard of the gel which makes me interested. I’ve always been wary because of injections and would just like a little deeper voice. This video was wonderful thank you
Thank you
I’m non binary/bigender so this is so helpful
im so glad i found your video, i’m 22 n genderqueer and going to be starting t soon while also living at home where i’m not out to my family or have told that i’m starting t. so when u mentioned that i’m not alone in this process i started to cry. thank you for sharing your story and journey publicly and for being so encouraging, i feel so much better starting to be who i always envisioned
Will be on low dose T like this for 2 years, keep the same changes, or overtime give you more changes. If that makes sense? Is your voice going to continue slowly getting deeper with each year, are you gonna to get more hairier or would it stay the same (if your dose stayed the same) theoretically
im nonbinary and have been scared about hormones for years but im slowly exploring then found out about low dose testosterone!! im making sure to research like crazy and wow this has been such an incredible help. much much love thank you endlessly
I'm 23 enby and I was on high doses of T for a long time
thank you so so so much for this, you have no idea how helpful this is like there's rlly not many videos abt gender-non conforming ppl doing t and I'm really considering so it's v helpful!!
I know I'm commenting s year later, but I really appreciated this. I identify as non-binary and want to start a low dose of T. I'm just worried once I start I won't feel comfortable. This really helped me! Thank you so very much.
i’m so happy this has been helpful! it’s totally normal to feel worried about starting t. exploring your gender is scary, but also really courageous. whether you decide to start t or not, i’m so proud of you for being you!
thank you for this
i’m keen on low dose as well
and this video really helped🤙🏼🙏🏼
Does a low dose of T still lower your voice? And if you stop it can you keep your voice? I sing and I’m trans but idk if I will still be able to sing with a lower voice :(
Have you checked out Jake Edward on youtube/instagram? They had this worry because they do music. Maybe watching some of their videos would help you decide?
I just found this video also! Someone in the comments said some interesting stuff about singing and being on hormones... ua-cam.com/video/B9_BJ4tm9Lk/v-deo.html
Question is there a way to get T to not affect your voice so much? I want a lot of the effects but more than a slight voice drop is just too much for me. Lmk if you can. You’re looking good and happy 😃
Ahhh finally! I’m non-binary, and I can’t find any channels talking about being non-binary and transitioning and all that. All the content I can find centers around ftm transitions, which is close but not quite. Thank you so much for this! It’s so helpful!
by the way you are the perfect amount of androgynous I envy it I love it I fucking strive for it - hot. love it. take care.
I’m non-binary and keep saying I wish there was a way I could do something like take T but only be a little more masculine and not like full on transition (idk how to word what I’m trying to say 😭)
I had no idea low dose T was an option!
Thank you for your openness regarding your journey
I’ve been looking into future options to subtly transition thank you for this video!
i'd like to know what happened for you in the private parts i know it's kinda like almost taboo and ike pretty private but it's my main preoccupation not gonna lie. i heared that it do change pretty fast on high doses and it's permannant so i wonder if it is same on low doses at least i'd like to hear at least 1 experience about it so yeah if you are willing to share it would be like super appraciated and would probably impact my decision on do i or not lol ^^'
This video made me feel so comforted tysm for making this i know im so late to the party
What feelings make people realise they are non-binary?
When I did my research about testosterone I came around the information that the gene that is responsible for hair loss is inherent from once mom side. So one would have to look out if the moms dad has still hair to see wether or wether not hair loss will happen once starting testo.
Guys faces are rough and have lots of pores and womens faces are delicate and soft lol
thank you so much. i have been terrified to start T but helps to hear others experiences.
This was so incredibly helpful. Thank you 🧡
Thanks so much for the vid, really helpful (also always good to see Asian nb rep ❤️).
If it’s not too personal, can I ask how low dose T affected your cycle? And if it stopped, did you experience any menopause symptoms like hot flashes?
happy to hear from another asian nb! my period has been all over the place since i started t. there has been no pattern whatsoever and i talk about that in a recent video around 6:23 : ua-cam.com/video/COc6-a02Pis/v-deo.html and i haven’t experienced any menopause symptoms - not that i know of at least!
LMFAOOO the first 5 seconds are so chaotic 🤣
Wonderful and informative rambling 🙌🏼 thanks for sharing with the world
How do you only have like 500 subs?? I love your channel - so incredibly wonderful thank you!!!
thank you so much!! i appreciate you.
Do you plan to stay on t, or end after you achieve certain results?
I've been put on low-dose T for some medical reasons (anxiety and fast heat rate after starting on "standard dosage") and just now I found your channel. Thank you very much for talking about low dose HRT! I was lacking some references of people who were going through the same type of hrt as me, although I take IM injections.
woah i didn't know this was a thing! i'm definitely gonna look into this as a fellow NB
Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been wanting to start T but didn’t want the full thing as i identify as non binary. Very helpful video I really appreciate it. ❤️❤️❤️
yay! i’m really glad this video helped and let me know if you have any other questions or video ideas! 💕
thanks for sharing! I'm nb and I've been wanting to start T for many years but it's scary. It's nice to hear about others experiences :)
Umm you're like, super cute! Congrats on the progress :)
this is the first video ive seen of someone on a low dose after watching transition videos for years,,, ive been on the fence whether i would ever go on t for a while now but your results are awesome! thanks for sharing so much of your journey, i'll be watching a lot of your videos from now on lol
What are you dose bruh?
What about bottom growth?
How did you decide to get testosterone? I can't make up my mind.
hi! it is a really big and scary decision so it makes sense that you can’t make up your mind. i made a video about how i decided to go on low-dose t: ua-cam.com/video/NWZ-5NhxCD0/v-deo.html
Thank you for making this videos
Thank you for telling your story. I want to take testosterone by myself.
How about bottom growth?
whats your dose? is it subcutaneous or intramuscular
Thank you
Me vibes
also id love to see ur work out routine!!! i love learning new stuff :)
I love this video I want to start low dose testosterone as well. I’m definitely considering this!
Damn! Just posted a video a couple weeks back because I felt like I wasn’t seeing any NBs talk about T. Stoked to learn there actually had been more of a conversation about that!!
ua-cam.com/video/11ccOlCdfMw/v-deo.html
I'm starting low-dose testosterone gel tmr, so just doing some last-minute research in case i missed anything, thanks!!!
Thanks so much for this video, I feel like it addresses every question I had about wanting to be a little more masculine, but not wanting to “go all the way” LOL.
Hi! I just found this video and was wondering , do you still feel the same way? Any regrets? I'm genuinely curious. the way you described yourself in the beginning matches how I feel.
T is my Christmas present from my hubby this year. He got a nice Christmas bonus and we are finally able to afford it. I burst into tears with joy!! I've been watching testosterone videos for some time now and I know I'm ready. I only plan on micro dosing because I'm non binary, but I also have a lot of skin problems (hives, eczema, etc.), so I'm not sure if I will get gel or shots, but either way, my hubby is a nurse, so he will give me my shots if need be. Mentally, I've been preparing for it for over a year now. I'm excited, nervous, anxious, thrilled, etc. So many emotions. It's hard to find videos on low dose hormones, so thank you so much for your videos and sharing your transition with us. You are a life changer.
Thank you for this video! I felt like I was the only one feeling this way, I'm telling my gender therapist about getting a low dose of T thanks!!
Very informative video! Thank you for sharing your experience with testosterone gel. I loved the intro it made me feel valid and heard. :)
that’s my baby! i love you as big as the sky 💖
Kai D i love you! 😍
