1 Month/4 Weeks on T! (maybe tmi?)
9 years ago
(Don't read if you don't want to hear about sex stuff and how gross I am now)
Physical changes:
Not sure if it's because I was sick a while back and have residual phlegm or what but my voice is doing funny things. It used to hurt my head to talk in a lower tone for too long but it's a little easier to stay in a lower pitch now. My throat feels tight sometimes like when you have your shirt on backwards and it pulls on your throat. I did my fourth shot today and they definitely get easier every time. On my T day last week I straight up forgot to wipe down my thigh before injecting but that was my fault for rushing myself. Nothing bad happened though, don't worry. I'm a LOT sweatier and hungrier all the time. Like, voracious. I wake up really sweaty most mornings. I have more energy too. Workouts are a lot easier and I don't take as long to cool off/stop being sore if that makes sense.
Sex drive is waaaay up and I was already a pretty active person in that area. It's ridiculous, if I move a certain way or just think about sexy stuff it's like, I have to go take care of this now. It used to be only once/twice a day and now it's like four+ times a day lol. Very sensitive down there, noticing the tiniest bit of growth. Super weird. No changes in facial hair but I'm itchy EVERYWHERE mostly my face, chest, armpits and thighs though. I sometimes get really bad headaches but maybe it's because I'm sweating more and need more water because of the gym. My arms and shoulders are gaining mass and I've slimmed down around my stomach/thighs (probably not a T change could be from working out).
Emotional/Mental changes:
Allen says I'm a lot more calm and composed now which is great because I used to cry and get emotional over everything because I care too much. We went to see Zootopia and I totally would have been bawling by the end (or by the first scene, it was really cute and sad) but I just kind of thought about not crying and didn't. My face/body gets REALLY hot when I get angry now which makes me feel like the human torch or something. I don't push arguments/argue as much as I did pre-T. Also a lot of my dysphoria has gone away. It's always going to be there but I've only felt that heart-wrenching, painful dysphoria that I used to feel every day only once in the whole month I've been on T. Just knowing that I don't have to wait to be on T anymore and going to the gym regularly is helping. I'm more patient and able to think about things clearly.
More updates to come! Thanks to everyone that has been keeping up with these journals/my transition! If you're a pre-T trans guy and need to talk to another trans guy you can always note me/talk to me on Telegram (username is the same). If you're cis, please avoid asking me invasive questions.
