      Thank you so much!! I was in the same boat. I never thought this was possible and I thought that I wasn't even going to find happiness in myself and in life. I thought that maybe I should just give up, but I realized that I was the only one holding myself back. Once you make that huge step in your life, you're going to realize how amazing life's going to be. Do this for you, and only you! That is self love, and I am so excited to see what life brings you. You'll get there someday! Great things take time. 🙂 Good luck with your journey! 😊❤

      @@lj8440 I actually don't have insurance so I'm paying everything out of pocket atm. For me it's affordable, and I think it depends on where you get it. I use to get my testosterone at Walgreens and that was expensive. I now get mine at the Walmart pharmacy and it's super cheap. My doctor can also find cheaper options too.

    Dude, what an inspiration! I'm just past 2 months and in a very frustrating time... changes, but not really? Coming out at work but they're not really getting it... Moody and pimply... annoyed at myself having known this all my life and waiting till 54 to start... oy! A 54 year old going thru puberty! If I can just get thru the first year, I think my outlook will be much better... Thanks for a great video!

    • @successful_loser973
      @successful_loser973  4 роки тому +1

      I felt that way when I was 2 to 5 months on T! I thought there wasn't any changes happening, but when I went back and looked at photos and listened through voice timelines, I noticed a lot of changes! If you haven't done this already, I really think documenting your transition is very important because it helps you know what has changed! Also, I know everyone's transition won't be the same for everyone, but when I thought changes weren't happening, after 5 months in, that's when everything just hit me and I was changing fast! You're still early with your transition. Give it some time and you'll see some amazing changes for sure. 😁
      When I came out to my work, I had a few people who didn't understand it, and yes of course mostly everyone misgendered me. As much as it sucks, when you give it time, and they see how much you've changed, they will learn and grow with you.
      One last thing, I believe testosterone has no time limit! I think it's amazing that you started regardless of your age. You've found yourself, and now you're taking that step for your own happiness and there's no shame in that at all! Happiness has no time limit, and you deserve to be happy. ❤ Thank you for your comment, and I wish you luck with your journey! 😊❤

      I think it was all based on genetics, but l use a derma roller twice a week and I take biotin supplements. Other people use a derma roller and minoxidil as well if any of those would be an option for you? Otherwise some people grow faster than others, and things take time as unfortunate as that sounds.

      You know, when I first started working at our job, I was super scared because I didn't think anyone would accept me. I knew that some of the people had little to no knowledge of the LGBTQ+ community and I knew that some didn't understand it. I thought that maybe this isn't a place that's going to make me feel comfortable. Throughout the year of working with you guys, I realized that I was wrong. Not only have you guys watched me transition, but I've watched everyone's as well. To see you and others hearts and minds open up, and watching you guys grow to have a willingness to learn more, is honestly the greatest thing I've seen. That's exactly what I want to see in this world, and that's exactly what I'd continue to live for. Thank you Levi!

    That was truly one of the most motivational videos I've had the pleasure of seeing. I've watched more transition videos than I can count, and yet they never get old. I feel horrible that you went through so much as a kid. I'm so sorry for the losses of your parents. I'm certain they would be so happy to see you living your truth. Your story has made my life feel like a walk in the park. You are so incredibly strong and I hope this isn't weird to say because I don't know you, but I'm so proud that you've made it so far. I'm familiar with feeling drowned in hopelessness and losing the will to live. It isn't easy, but you have proven that anything is possible. I'm just about 8 months on T and my life has already changed so drastically. I might make a video about my story so I can hopefully make a difference in even a single person's life and help reinforce that there's always light at the end of the tunnel when you look hard enough. It's so important that we continue supporting people in the LGBTQ+ community and reinforce that they're never alone. Thanks again for sharing your story :)

      I really appreciate your kind words Jaimie!!! It means a lot to me. ❤ It's incredible that my video help inspire you and hopefully many others. I watched so many transition videos as well, and the 1st one I ever watched actually helped me discover who I am. Making transition videos or documenting your progression in my opinion is super helpful to not only see your changes, but to see others perspective of us change as well for the better. I think it's a great thing to do, and I definitely think you should make a video as well!! I'll watch it for sure! Keep me posted. 😁 Times have been really rough for sure, and there were many times I wanted to give up. No matter what you're going through or what you've been through, I believe that you can make a tremendous impact on the world if you keep going and to never give up. I say that to myself all the time, and in those moments when I thought I could just end my life, those few words not only helped me keep moving forward, but it helped others as well. I believe everyone can help inspire/motivate others regardless of how tragic someone's story is. Everyone's life is different and I don't want to compare my life to someone else's because different events or situations affect people in different ways. I'm glad to know you got the message in my video about not giving up, and I am super happy that you want to motivate others! Also, I think you're already making a difference just by your comment. 😉 Thank you again, and I am super excited for you!! 😃😁😊❤🌈

      Sometimes people aren't meant to be in your life and that's okay. You'll know who truly cares about you and who are always there supporting you. Transitioning for me felt like burning every bridge, but I now know who's really meant to be in my life. I'm glad you found whats best for you by cutting out those who are toxic. Transitioning is challenging for some and you definitely don't need society trying to define who you are. You know your worth. Continue to be strong, and do what's best for you and only you!

    Wow. Thank you so much for sharing your journey of transition and encouragement. I'm still in the closet/questioning my gender (FTM) and I am in the beginning stages of figuring everything out. I so relate to a lot of your points about feeling different when I was young, middle school sucked, always felt off or never fit in, etc. Felt the euphoria of cutting my hair short and starting to have masculine gender expression. I love it and would not go back to "being a girl" but society stills sees me as female (pre-everything) and I don't want to be presenting that way. Thank you for making this video. Thank you for having the courage to be happy and do what you need to do to change and be your authentic self. Much love and here's to a great year of 2021.

      Well thank you for watching it and thank you so much for your kind words. 🥰 It definitely sucks for sure in the beginning stages as you mentioned and you start to question things about who you are or what you should do. It puts you in a tailspin you know? I was like that for a while. But eventually you'll start to learn more things about yourself like what makes you happy and what makes you uncomfortable. During these stages you may find that there are going to be many things that make you uncomfortable, but it's those things that help us figure out who we are. But to even be where you are right now, and to have those thoughts/questions, I think you've already come a long way. I don't think a lot of people realize how much strength it takes to pull your own self out of a dark place mentally. It takes courage to do that, and I believe you're already exceeding that tremendously. You've come so far! You have a lot to be proud of and every reason to keep moving forward. 💪 Much love to you as well, and thank you again. 💕

    Hello Cult! Nice video! So proud of you!! I have a few questions if you don’t mind me asking. Who did you talk to and where did you go/start to start your T? Did you have to see a therapist and if so how long does that take for you to get started? I wanna get started, but don’t know where to start or how to start..

    • @successful_loser973
      @successful_loser973  3 роки тому +1

      Hey! Thank you so much and great questions! Where I live I go to a clinic that also provides hormone replacement therapy. It might be named differently for other clinics, but one of my clinics programs is called, Adult Gender and Sexual Health Program. From there I had set up an appointment and met with one of the Endocrinologists who works with a lot of transgender patients. My 1st appointment with her was the same day I got prescribed testosterone and took my 1st shot, so I didn't actually go to therapy. She did ask me all kinds of questions about myself like being transgender, gender dysphoria, and things like that. It might be different for every state/country or which clinic you go to. However, my clinic does provide therapy for transgender patients if they want it. They also provide therapists who also give you a referral to go ahead and get top surgery. For how long it takes to get prescribed I think that might also depend on where you live or which place you go to, or how long the waiting list is, and things like that. I know a lot of transgender people get started with Planned Parenthood if that helps. Or you can look up a clinic around you and call/ask if they have someone who specializes in gender care, or HRT. I hope that helps a little...

    Hello! Your story is absolutely amazing, as well as your transition, I am so proud!
    I was thinking about going in low dose testosterone, and I have a question for you!
    What is bottom growth like, what what happens during it?
    I hope you can respond because I am truly curious!

    • @successful_loser973
      @successful_loser973  4 роки тому

      Hey thank you for your kind words!! ❤ 😊 Bottom growth for me was probably the 1st change I noticed the next day right after my 1st shot. It might differ for others though, but it's quite common that it'll be your 1st change and it'll continue growing up until around 6 years maybe? But the sizes aren't huge btw. It ranges from 1-2 inches I believe. Does it hurt? Not really. Right after my 1st shot, I started noticing this tingling weird sensation. It does become uncomfortable at times, especially if you wear tight boxer briefs or if you sit down it can feel strange, but it's not horrible. You actually get used to it and you won't even feel it growing. One day you'll look down and be like, "Oh shit, that's definitely bigger😂" You do need to wash it very well though lol. But be careful because it's super super sensitive. Also if someone decides to stop taking testosterone, it won't revert back to how it was before. It's one of the permanent changes of testosterone. I can't remember anything else on the top of my head, but thank you for your question! I know it may seem scary for some, and I know this because I was kind of freaked out by it, but it really isn't all that bad and it's nothing to worry about. 🙂

    • @successful_loser973
      @successful_loser973  3 роки тому +1

      I'm amazed myself by how quickly I've changed! I've actually been on a low dose of 0.2ML weekly. My doctor regulates my levels every couple months and my levels have been consistent at a safe range for quite a while. Testosterone is amazing stuff, and it's unique in a way because not everyone will get the same results because everyones body is different and will react differently to this hormone. We should also keep in mind that our body's changes in response to hormones is more dependent on genetics and the age at which you start. Once you've achieved the male-range testosterone levels, taking higher doses won't result in faster or more dramatic changes, and there are some risks to it, but one of the main problems is taking too much testosterone will result in it converting back to estrogen.
