-.Transformer in the Making.-

My name is Tesla. I am 23 and a proud trans man. This blog was created basically as a place for me to post trans related stuff and as a journal to record the progress of the relationship between me and my lesbian girlfriend. We took it one step at a time and overcame it all. This blog does not get updated regularly. (1/16/18💉) (10/8/18🔪).

It’s been awhile:

Sorry I haven’t been on this blog in awhile (life’s been super busy), but I’ve got plenty of updates if y’all are interested. Some of this might also be a bit of a recap, as well.

Around a year ago I hopped states to live with my girlfriend and her family after my step mother essentially disowned me for being trans and said some super nasty things about not only me but her family too. Life’s been pretty good since moving and to be honest I’m thriving more than ever.

So, what about my gf and I? When I first moved in we were a little rough I’m not gonna lie, but as soon as I started testosterone in January things have been flourishing. A good chunk of depression left me when I started testo, which means a lot of anger left me. When I say a lot I mean practically most of it. I still have my moments but if you saw the me before compared to the me now, you would be amazed. I hated the me before but the me now is only getting better. I’m not gonna say our fights were all my fault because they weren’t, but just know we are better overall.

So what about us and the whole overcoming me being trans thing? Without going into huge amount of detail/taking over your dashboard: It happened. She refers to me as “he” all the time now. She calls me her “man” and a lot of other cute names. She tells everyone she’s got a boyfriend and when they ask about how that’s possible she explains respectfully how that came to be. I don’t doubt her as much and my fear of her leaving me for being a guy has gone down tremendously. What bit of doubt I have isn’t really her fault, I’m just paranoid in general. I know she loves me though and wants to stay. We overcame the biggest obstacle of our relationship and I’m so glad we did.

I also had top surgery 9 days ago. I had my reveal two days ago and I’ve never been more ecstatic. My chest looks so good so far. My confidence will continue to go up as the days go on. I am ready to start appreciating my body. I’m ready to live.

I am 9 months on testosterone and 9 days post-op top surgery. My girlfriend and I overcame the “trans issue” and we are so much better for it. I now live with a family that accepts me for who I am and it feels great. Life is looking up and I can only hope it stays that way.

One final thought: Don’t let anyone ever tell you you’re not allowed to try and work out a trans related relationship issue. It’s okay to stay and fight for it. You don’t always have to leave if you think there might be some hope. Just remember to do what you think is best in the end. Sometimes you have to work for a relationship.

Offense but like how many years did straight people call everything they hated or disliked “gay”,,,,,, yet y'all can’t handle a single generalized statement online about being cis/het but okay!

We’re real people, though.

Officially 1 Day on T.

AND IM HUNGRY. 

[transpupa-blog]

I go back to planned parenthood on the 16th to go over my blood test results and receive my first T shot. I’m also relieved to learn that the cost of my transition will not be as expensive as I was originally told by the call center, so that’s huge weight off my shoulders.

Oh, and I had to be pricked twice for blood. Apparently I’ve got super tiny veins so the second time was done through my hand and it did the charm. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, but it’s definitely not my favorite (my hands are super sensitive). The nurses were super nice and informative. Over all it was a pretty decent experience.

I’m just really excited. Tuesday’s are T days.

My first HRT appointment at planned parenthood got rescheduled for the 12th due to the bad weather in Virginia. I’m bummed about it, but hears to hoping for next week.

Dr James Barry, the first doctor to perform a successful C section wherein both mother and child survived, was a huge champion of handwashing at a time when most doctors didn’t wash their hands. For this reason, many of the chilldbirths he delivered resulted in healthier babies and mothers. He was also a gay trans man, who specifically wrote that upon his death he wished for his body to be taken in its nightshirt, wrapped in his sheets as a shroud, and placed into the coffin so that nobody would see his body. His wishes were not respected, and as a result he was outed at his death.

i’ve also been informed he had a poodle. He named his poodle Psyche. I’d just like to congratulate him on being an excellent human being, who not only pioneered modern medicine but also had good taste in dogs. that is all.

i thought this was fake but it’s not

here’s the sawbones episode about him

cis people

[asymbina]

He was also reportedly quite the ladies’ man, and he’d apparently carried a child to term and gave birth.

[nunchler]

he’s one of my favorite historical figures and ive read a lot on him including the biography Scanty Particulars by Rachel Holmes. a lot of the details of his life are difficult to figure out, partly cause he was very private and partly cause he had so many rumors surrounding him. here are some of my fave facts about him:

-he was very concerned with protecting poor people, women and people of color, aka all the people most of upper class british society at the time cared the least about. he worked to reform prisons and hospitals in south africa at risk to his own career, and also improved the conditions under which poor enlisted british soldiers and their families lived

-he was kind of a known hothead. he was rumored to have fought at least one duel (probably not true though). florence nightingale hated him even though they had similar ideas about medicine because they had such a clash of personalities in the brief time they worked together

-he was a vegetarian and took a goat with him on sea voyages so he could always have fresh milk

-even though he had an abrasive personality and made a lot of enemies, his patients, especially the women, really loved him because they felt like he knew what he was doing and actually cared about their health

-he died poor because the british army ripped him off >:/

edit i almost forgot the best thing. he didn’t just have one poodle named psyche. he had a bunch. when one died he would get a new poodle and name that one psyche too

[the-real-seebs]

“i thought your poodle died?”

“psyche!” [poodle comes trotting in]
