As the beard grows, the body changes, the fat transfers, I’m feeling more myself and iv never been happier ✨

[atransreflection]

Hey, I just updated my pinned post, and I saw it was originally your post, and I am super glad you're still here. You're looking great, and I hope you're super happy! Thanks for the post!

Thank you so much 🙌 I honestly don’t use tumblr a whole lot but more of a patchy romance ~ hope you’re well !

It’s ok to have some long peach fuzz

It’s ok to have just a lil chin strap or side burns

It’s ok to have just a lil patch under the chin

It’s ok to have just a tash

It’s ok to have hair everywhere bar the cheeks

.

We’re all on our own journey here! Everyone grows a beard at different rates, it being patchy is simply apart of our second puberty, and plenty of cis men are even unable to grow a full beard!

.

This is 5 years of growth (part of which was low dose) and it’s still not full ~ but I love my beard and I love my journey. I know it’ll get there, just have to give my body time to grow 🌱 I hope you’ll do this same

After 5 years of waiting I finally got top surgery 😭😭 it feels so good, all the dysphoria leaving, feeling like my body finally fits and my brain is realigned with how it should look. It still hasn’t hit me fully and I keep forgetting then looking down and seeing my chest, I can’t believe I’m finally here 😭

[atransreflection]

Finally have a top surgery date!! 😭

After 5 years and 3 months of waiting I FINALLY have an appointment booked for top surgery and I’m so happy! Goodbye binders and hello to the feeling of a soft tshirt on my chest 🙌

Trans Childhood Confessions #10

So when I was a child/teenager I had two playlists - one was just male singers and the other was a mix of male and female singers. Most days when walking to school I’d listen to the male singer playlist and pretend I was those famous male singers, because pretending to be the female singers didn’t sit right with me and just generally made me feel weird. I felt bad most days singing along to female singers and couldn’t ‘pretend’ to be them.

Looking back I realise now that I couldn’t ‘pretend’ to be the female singers because it made me dysphoric, and singing along to male singers and pretending to be them made me euphoric. This was years before I even knew what being trans was.

3 years of HRT 🥳🥳🥳

[atransreflection]

Who is she?¿?

I realise now that I am a trans male

I understand that this may come as a disappointment for some of my followers who enjoy my nonbinary stories and content, but about a year after starting HRT I realised that I am actually male.

Now, I want to enforce this, Non-binary is NOT a stepping stone to being a binary trans man or women. For me, I was out as nonbinary for 4 years before realising that I actually preferred being called he/him and being seen as a male. Iv always had a more masculine presenting appearance, wanted to appear more on the male leaning edge of nonbinary. For me, starting T enforced that these changes I experienced were something more than just aesthetically pleasing.

Now I know I have been gone from here for a while, this was mainly due to the fear of loosing what this blog had. But lately I have missed the friends iv made through tumblr, the support I had gathered for my transition and the support I’d provided for others through conversation and posts. I want to come back to you all and bring this blog back to life. As I am no longer non-binary, I will be changing this blog up a little. Rest assured I will continue to post nonbinary content to support my trans nonbinary/nonbinary siblings. Along with this though I plan to post some more relevant content to myself now as a trans male. So fear not as this blog will be more open now more than ever 💖
