Hello ~¨

My name’s Micah :3

I am a nonbinary person who is trying their best finding their way through life and hopefully take steps towards a more authentic version of myself.

This blog is me trying to keep track of my journey by making a mini diary entry for every day around 500 digits per entry.

May do some of the entries as voice entries as well to keep track if there’s some voice changes.

I just noticed it was transgender awareness week (november 13-19 2021) 

Please accept my quickly drawn comic strip 

Hope you all have a nice week you beautiful people 💙💗🤍💗💙

(the flags in the hearts are questioning, nonbinary and genderqueer - my apologies of not making more :’D)

It has been a while. Just needed to rant a bit.

One thing I knew was a risk starting testosterone was hairloss, even more so since my grandfather on my father's side was bald at 25. Yet as many other transmasculine people I decided the pros was worth it.

The last month or so I have noticed a change in my hair texture. What has always been described by hairdressers as thick and lushious is now seemingly thin and frail. Yesterday I seemed to notice a bald spot for the first time. Today, using my phone in the fullbody mirror to look at the top of my head, it was proofed that it was indeed a bald spot.

I am in two minds about this: one is that I cannot really complain. I chose this path so I should earn it. Let nature run its course. Become good friends with beanies and caps. After all, I have so many hats after growing my hair out after surgery.

On the other hand I feel a lot of dread. I have always put a lot of myself into my hair. When I chose to buzz it short in preparation for top surgery I hated the look of it. Some days my discomfort felt like dysphoria (I blame my fluent gender identity). I have finally gotten my hair back to a length and a haircut I feel comfortable with only to now see it dissappear for good.

What is the solution (if there is any?)?

I have some beard and hair growth serum left that I will try to use and see it has any effect. Otherwise I may consider minoxidil again although it is expensive and seemingly only delaying the enevitable.

November 24 2024

After a lovely evening yesterday (telling too many people about my t-anniversary), today has been dedicated to travelling and napping after a wild weekend. It probably didn’t help that I’d bought a train ticket for 8 am but I survived. I’m a bit annoyed I didn’t get to work on art - again – yet I guess it’s better for me to take a slow day than force myself to draw when exhausted. Next week will be busy including hrt study and trans support group to name a few. And Zagreb. Good things ahead.

We are here: 1 year on testosterone!! Feels so unreal. How has it already been a year!? In best birthday fashion my plan is to go to a concert (or an award show for heavy music where my favorite Danish band plays), but first I had to sit down and make the one-year voice updates (which felt even weirder to do since I was at my mom’s house). Ended up also yapping for 8 minutes on camera so that clip will hopefully be edited one of the next days. In short, I’m emotional and grateful.

Another no word limit day!

After the pre-op consultation in Malmö today, I feel relieved yet slightly shaken up (the latter part because it was the first time since my ex I’d had tits out in front of somebody else and definitely the first time having to describe my feelings about them yet alone while half naked). Mostly I’m hopeful! They were so kind, supportive, professional, factual and thorough. I have a good feeling about this, and my friends agreed that it seemed to be a good place. Plus, they have no waitlist. They basically just told me to let them know when and we’d figure something out.

Despite all this, I will wait a bit longer to have time to talk over a plan with the social worker about how to fit recovery into the job testing program. Yet where it up to me I’d get my top surgery next February after the last possibly agreed deadline with my internship!

This evening, I went over my notes with friends that will accompany me for my pre-op consultation tomorrow and that was honestly very rewarding talking it through somebody else. I’m so grateful. I know my mom has offered and that my dad probably would agree to go if I asked. But there are parts of my body my parents don’t know, and I don’t see go over well if they learn about it (cough my tattoos). And in a situation like gender affirming surgery I want to be as honest as needed.
