Daily T shots - Daily T injections - 1 month 12 days

There is so much new hair popping up all over. My arms, my legs, my stomach, and my face. It’s still new hair growth so it’s blonde hairs of all different lengths. My voice is cracking and all over the place. My acne is flaring up today like crazy. And I think my vile of T has like 1 more dose left. I'm so surprised to see changes this quickly.  But that's the best surprise I’ve ever been given. And having a shot every day sucks, but Im happy that it’s at a point where it sucks like doing the dishes sucks. The anxiety is way lower and I feel really in control and I think I just needed to adapt to it. My whole family is kinda freaked out by needles and stuff so I don't really get to talk about it and I think I would like to more. Because it’s still something new and when you compare the idea that I will be doing this every day for the rest of my life, It really makes you see that this is worth allowing me to talk about and is a big enough deal to want family input in some way. This may sound weird but since being on t and feeling the excitement and weirdness of a male puberty I’ve been thinking more and more about my childhood and how I do feel a bit cheated. I always draw back to the thought “What if there was like some summer camp type shit for grown ass people who are trans to just learn and experience some of the things we didn’t get to as kids”. It makes me sad. like I don't have prom pictures and it’s simple moments that I just don't have but I feel silly that I still want some things/experiences from childhood/teenage years. I’m grateful tho for being able to be alive to see this. I really didn’t think I’d make it. I'm so happy that I survived all those suicide attempts and I'm so happy that my friends and family have been there for me. And I'm so glad that transitioning has helped to start me on opening my eyes to the love around me.

honestly, if you asked me a few years ago I would be pretty iffy on how i felt about going on T bc i wouldn’t like 100% of the changes.... but a friend asked me about it yesterday and i realized that now I wouldn’t even care, just the fact that the changes are even happening in the first place is enough to make me so fucking happy

im so jittery rn i cant wait??? i mean yeah i might be getting a little ahead of myself but i feel really good about it

tbh.. for a really long time i couldn’t handle seeing posts and pictures of other trans people’s progress with hormones because it made me feel...like super jealous and anxious that i could never get there

but now that I have an actual real scheduled appointment to see about getting hormones without needing to jump through therapy hoops, seeing those posts and pictures actually make me feel hopeful and excited rather than dysphoric and depressed like before

IM SO READY AND I CANT WAIT UGHHH

I can’t escape my roots so I’ve finally decided to embrace.  My last relaxer was May 24th, 2015.

So, I've made some positive moves within my life, propelling myself forward. I'm doing a lot better in school, finding ways to get around the fact that I can't exactly focus, and I'm getting better grades. I don't have to financially worry about school, as everything is either taken care of or is going to be. Aside from school, I got insurance, which means that I can get new glasses, get my chipped tooth fixed, and go to the doctor (my mother believe I may be a diabetic). Another thing is I've come to be more...accepting of the fact that in the future I'd like to transition. It's been on my mind a lot lately and as the days past, I've become less and less opposed to it, and to a point, I've started to almost look forward to it. But I know there's a lot I have to do, a long road I have to treck in order to completely figure out where I need to be, but it's no longer something I fear. Hell, if I so decide to go down that path, I've got a name set aside and the most epic chest piece designed. Yes, I planned out a tattoo, that's a part of the "looking forward to it". Now that I've got school taken care of and I'm slowly taking care of myself, I want to start becoming more independent (get my own place) and I want to get over my anxieties with driving. We'll see how all that goes though.

I changed my name legally before starting T and now I think I want to change it again, has anyone legally changed their name more than once? and what was your experience? My name can be a middle name so now I want to pick a first name and make my current name my middle name,but if its too complicated, I might not do it. Also, I have my top surgery consultation on January 24th! It's somewhere some of my coworkers have gone and take my insurance (I have ftm coworkers) . I will probably disclose the surgeons information when I am done with surgery, until then.. I'd rather not jinx it, especially cause the surgeon is working with insurance for something "cosmetic"

"How does that work?"

This is 100% of the time the first question that I am asked when I tell people that I am a lesbian dating a trans man. I hate it and this video is a kind of a rant about how angry it makes me.
