I have sort of neglected this blog for a while! I havent had much to post.
I thought I would post this photo because it was taken by someone very dear to me and who has assured me I look okay ahaha
I will be posting more soon as I get my shit together!
Stay tuned! šŖ
Im so sick of wearing a binder, I cant breathe in hotter seasons
I'm so tired of living in this body, of the skin and fat that clings to my chest and the rest of me.
I'm just so damn done.
Mod EJās tips for T injections
(Obligatory reminder that I am not a medical professional, and prioritize your doctorās advice.Ā This is just what Iāve found makes my life easier.)
Take the bottle into the shower with you before your shot, and leave it in the corner while you do your ablutions.Ā Warm T is easier to inject than cold
Ice your leg/arm/stomach/recommended injection site for a couple minutes before injection, this reduces pain
You want your site to be relaxed, regardless of subq or IM shots.Ā If itās your thigh, sit on your bed with your feet flat on the floor and your muscles untensed
Go slow!
Alternate sides of your body to slow the buildup of scar tissue and make it easier to get your dose into you
Once youāre done, massage the site gently for a few minutes before getting up.Ā This can help minimize irritation
DONāT DO YOUR SHOT UNDER WHERE YOUR PHONE, WALLET, OR KEYS SIT IN YOUR POCKETS (bolded for emphasis, I learned this through mistakes.Ā It hurts!)
Stay calm.Ā If you find yourself panicking, cap the needle and come back to it.Ā Youāre more likely to find it painful if youāre anxious.
If you have concerns, always ask your doctor!Ā Again, Iām not a medical professional.
T is only considered sterile for 28 days after opening, which is why they tend to prescribe 1 mL bottles instead of 10 mL
Larger gauge (smaller needles) hurts less but takes longer
Syringes are marked so that they dispense the amount measured, you donāt have to worry aboutĀ āextraā in the unmeasured part at the tip of the syringe.Ā Itās built into the measurement markings, so trust your syringes.
do cis people realise that trans people get misgendered even if we pass? a trans man could walk up in a full beard and still be calledĀ āmissā because people are transphobic, not because he looks like woman. obviously non-passing trans people get misgendered more often, but thereās really more layers (aka transphobia) to being misgendered apart fromĀ āi pass all the time thus no one ever misgenders meā
relatives might misgender you through your entire life, people who know youāre trans might misgender you solely because you are trans, people will misgender you to spite you and theyāll misgender you to harm you (either emotionally, or by outing you). doctors will misgender you if they realise youāre not cis, which can have fatal outcomes. the legal system constantly misgenders trans women, putting them in menās jails no matter how well she passes as a woman, which puts these women as incredible risks for their safety and lives.Ā
misgendering is a social and sometimes fatal power that cis people have over trans people, and acting as if itās at all timesĀ āa honest mistakeā shows how little you think of trans peoplesā security.Ā
If youāre trans and you use a packer or breastforms on a day to day basis, do not use them at the airport. The body scanners that the TSA uses look for variations from aĀ āmaleā orĀ āfemaleā body, so if you have bulges where theyĀ āshouldnātā be, you will get the patdown.
signal boost this, please.
thereās a page on the TSAās website that has tips and info specifically for trans travelers!! I canāt remember everything it has on it but one of the big things is that if you get flagged for a patdown or other screening you can have it done in private if you so request :) :)
Here is that page for reference :)

btw the link above is broken so use this one ^
One thing they donāt tell you about top surgery:
Youāre gonna have a hormone crash, and itās gonna be weird, and for the first couple days youāre gonna feel weird and bad emotionally and maybe feel like you made a mistake.
Yeah, thatās actually normal. Your breasts produce hormones and trigger hormone production elsewhere, and removing them induces something like a mild form of postpartum depression.
IT WILL PASS.
For the first few days I couldnāt even glance at my chest without feeling horrible, like Iād done something egregious. A few days later and Iām fine and thrilled, just as I thought I would be. The hormone crash is real, itās okay, and donāt freak out about it too much. It will pass. Youāve done the right thing and you know it.
Hormones are just weird and evil.
Morning reblog
Finally decided to cut my hair short once again May 2018
I've never really been good at being in front of the camera š but I thought a progress update would be cool as I celebrated my 2 year on T this month šŖ so first pic is from 2015 and the second is today in 2018. I feel a lot better in my own body now than how I felt about it in 2015, I still have my moments of discomfort and dysphoria and I probably will until I get top surgery, but I like that I can see such a difference and that so much has changed. Even though I still look like a thumb haha
