#starting hrt

[mindsinanotherworld]

Im going to be starting HRT soon (Im FTM). Im a little nervous but mostly just happy and content that I’m finally able to confidently make that decision for myself.

But anyways… I was wondering if anyone ftm or just trans in general would have any suggestions to help make the process easier or any advice? I want to be prepared and just really end up being happy.

I started HRT a couple weeks ago and like I’m microdosing T-gel because my living situation doesn’t allow for me to start experiencing obvious changes with any sense of rapidity, right? So it’s not like a lot omis going on yet.

However, one thing that has become more prominent in my mind since just getting my appointment for labs done (prior to starting) is just… how much more settled I feel. Like this is the direction I’m meant to be going in.

I’ve also started drifting towards more masculine thinking and vibes (for lack of a more concise way of putting it). I’m reconsidering my pronouns a little, I’m revisiting my experience with gender and the performance of it… it’s a good thing, a good period to be in.

I’m just glad, I guess. I’m terrified too, I mean if my folks (whom I still live with for financial reasons) find out I’ve started T then there could be serious consequences and I’m basically banking on leaving in June. So that’s stressful. But like. I’m happy. I’m excited. I finally feel like I’m starting down a path I always needed to take. I’ve felt for years like I was still waiting to grow up, for my body to change more because I hadn’t grown into being me yet. And now I feel as if that’s started :)

I’m starting T potentially as soon as today, I need more mid size/plus size trans men in my media because it’s largely been weight that’s been holding me back. Anyone have any suggestions for people to follow? I look at forcemasc for the gender euphoria but if I can find stuff that’s not overtly sexual id appreciate it.

Also if you have any ideas for what I should start doing prior to starting T fully, please lmk!

Hormones/HRT

I (AMAB non binary 24 yo) never gave hormones/HRT much thought, besides educational research on how they work and their effects on trans people.

Today, though, I woke up from a dream of me getting on estrogen and enjoying the small changes happening. I gave it some thought through out the day and I came to the point that I would probably be ok with HRT if it were not to endanger me(because it's not really safe where I live to be openly trans/nb and would probably cause me a hard time getting a job and sustaining myself)

I just wish that I could be able to go on with it, but for the moment I stay closeted on all aspects for my safety, til I can have a place of my own.

First Day on E!

Some positivity in these troubled times; as my therapist suggested I look into HRT I got a bit nervous. Not because I didn't want it - I knew that I did - but because I was concerned I didn't want it the right way. Would I have to go through a lengthy evaluation process? if I didn't present femininely enough to the appointment, would they hold it against me? would they judge me to not be dysphoric enough? I could lie, but I did not want to have a combative relationship with my doctor.

So I asked them, told them what my therapist had told me and explained that even though I was not yet sure what the end goal was I knew that hrt, even if it was in isolation, would make me happier. They were understanding - asked me a few questions about my support network and my experiences, showed me the consent form and told me about the alternatives open to me. This was about two weeks ago.

And I realize this doesn't happen to everyone. Maybe you will run into gatekeeping and ridicule. Maybe your mental fortitude will not be enough. But also, maybe you will run into someone who just genuinely wants to help, and makes it easier for you rather than harder.
