    Ok, so I’m glad I came across this. First off… I’m guilty. I’m ftm, pre T and started taking a testosterone booster. First couple days it made me not feel the greatest. But obviously in my own head I was like, this must mean it’s working! But you’re right!! I DO NOT want to mess up my chances of being able to be on testosterone for real. So needless to say , as I watched this video , I threw out over 100$ worth of testosterone boosters. But I’m grateful because literally the last thing I’d want to do is mess up my chances of really being on testosterone. Thank you thank you thank you!!!! For putting some sense into my head.

    I’m 32 ftm just starting my transition process. Came out to everyone two years ago. I identify as ftm even though from a young age I was aware that I wished I’d been born in a male body. But I also didn’t hate my body. In 4/5th grade gender separation task started happening at school and then eventually I was encouraged or sometimes not allowed to wear my brothers handme downs anymore. I always disliked feminine aesthetics things. Clothes,make up, hair style. But not “feminine” interests (hobbies). I liked stuffies, Barbie’s (but liked “action figures”more) but I preferred to play alone so I could pretend the boy identifying toys were me. I love how being raised female has shaped my mentality and personality.

    I think trying to bully or shame people into dating trans, is rude and disturbing. How dare you try to force people to change their sexual orientation. A straight person will not want to engage (be sexually intimate) with someone with the same genitals as they have, and it is their right to date and have sex with who they want. This should not even be an issue. It is not the public's responsibility to validate your gender identity by sleeping with you. You need to calm down and think rationally about this. Like everybody, you put yourself out there on the dating scene and open yourself up to meeting people. Some people are going to be accepting and others, not so much, but it is ok, you cannot get angry with people for not wanting what you want. You just keep trying until you meet someone who is compatable. However, I think that one of the reasons why some"cis" people saying that they will not date or be intimate with someone who is trans is so upsetting to you is because subconsciously, being with a cis partner is the ultimate validation of your gender identity.

  • @lmartinez3986
    @lmartinez3986 3 місяці тому

    I was 35 when I started T. 38 when I had top surgery. I remember being super upset and confused when I was “misgendered” here and there. But I agree with folks here, I went inward and explored my internal power to not let it phase me as much. I will also say I identify as non binary. It’s strange being on T with a beard and being seen as a man honestly when I am just me, neither binary category and all the above. If I am being super real though, we partially define gender as a mental understanding. Not many folks can read minds! (Yet). How I have come to really accept it is in approaching it in that way. How do people know my gender until I inform them of it? They won’t though and therefore especially being non binary on T for 5 years, being called whatever by strangers and accepting feels like sweat rolling down my face now. I will educate those I want to be in long term relationships with. Otherwise sending love to everyone else who defaults to surface assumptions. I assume as well, sadly😅

    for me, i’m 17 and been out for 3 years, not on t. Ive been misgendered less and less recently, but when i do i react similar to you, Aydian. I just ignore it, try to make the interaction as short as possible and move on. However whats worse than being called she or maam is people asking ‘are you a boy or a girl’ because then i either have to out myself or misgender myself and it puts me in a really awkward position. Also i feel like awareness of LGBT people has caused more misgendering, because some people are trying to be supportive and know that sometimes women can look masculine so they call me a woman to support me and it makes it worse, seems like it was a lot easier 10-15 years ago

I know how my parents felt now when the first Atari game console came out 🫣👀 I just jumped into social media a few years ago, I finally decided to see what I was missing. I used to just watch UA-cam, but jumping into TikTok and Instagram really is fun (even if no one sees my posts because I'm not trying to be the next latest and greatest)! My friends tease me that my hair is thinning (I'm trans nonbinary/queer), and I tell them that I "earned!" my thinning hair and I'm proud of that and that it's going gray! Now the only reason I wear a hat is so that I don't sunburn my scalp 🤔 I have gone full Brittney a few times before though too, I have a weird shaped head haha

  • @earthsongmassage1

    Thanks for sharing. I am just over 5 years on "T". My hair started thinning about 2 years ago. At first I thought it was my imagination, I was just paranoid. But no, my doctor noticed it was thinning also. Mostly frontal. I decided to go on Finasteride to slow the process. It's only been maybe 7 months on this drug, so I guess time will tell. At this point, I really don't want to lose my hair. I'll decide later on if I continue on this or not. So far, no real side effects. I also don't have much of a beard. If it ever grows in a bit thicker, I might be less inclined to worry about hair loss, but right now, it's not very balanced.

Finally as a cis male I’ve had these same thoughts and feelings and even fully expected hair loss but was never fully prepared for it. I buzz my hair now and experimented growing it out but I had very similar hair to yours with just a more pronounced bald spot in the back rather than receding hairline.

    It's funny that this video was recommended to me. I'm a trans man but only 8 months on T, so not too much changes. My hair is still pretty lush but lately I've been wanting to cut it all off. I guess I should enjoy it while I have it, but on the other hand being bald is so masculine and honestly an attractive look. Dysphoria makes you do weird things I think. The body does what it does, too. It's hard to let go of control over things you cannot change. Life is a journey for sure.

    Have you considered taking anything for hair loss?

I didn’t mind the receding hairline too much, but the thinning on the top really got to me also. It does help when you start noticing that the majority of men deal with it though!
