Lol I Guess. AU Things

I enjoy posting about worrying things in the middle of the night because there is a none 0 chance that either my gf or one of my friends will see it. And if they don’t see it right after I post it they’ll sure see it in the morning when they check tumblr. They may or may not bring it up and I may or may not have to come to the terms that having a staring contest with a hallucination isn’t healthy and I should probably go out to the living room where my brother is playing video games so he can help ground me and drag me back to reality. But he’s sick and I have schoolwork.

(If any of you guys see this I promise I’m probably fine I’m having my mom ask about therapy at my med check on the 20th)

hey do you have a tumblr

no sorry

how many boobs am i allowed to give before it explodes

Sex Ed Time

ok I'm gonna tell you about some things that might happen if you are transitioning m->f. this is not a comprehensive list just my own experience, be sure to do your own research I just really wanted to voice how this affects me because I think open discussion about this type of stuff is just more helpful for everyone rather than keeping it private

BOOBS HURT WHEN THEY GROW

your sex drive (libido) will probably go down a lot

facial hair is very hard to get rid of

my go-to gender affirming clothing is high-waisted jeans. I suggest going to a goodwill or some sort of cheap store that lets you try on clothes to figure out what you like

muscle mass will go down, fat will be redistributed

boobs do all sorts of crazy stuff when you run / exercise

overtime your skin will get softer, you also might smell nicer, and I've been told it can thin body hair but I don't really see it all that much 🤷

your brain chemistry can change when you reduce testosterone and increase estrogen, there are lots of factors that contribute toward any changes to your personality, but hormones can have an impact as well. for me this is a good thing because I struggle with allowing myself to feel emotions sometimes, no matter how hard I tried I was never really able to get myself to cry. I've gotten closer to being able to cry since I started transitioning though and that makes me very happy

this is a slow process that can take several years, ultimately you're going to be in your body for several years regardless, so if this is something you want it's definitely something you should try to pursue if possible. the time will pass anyways, and it does feel nice to work towards something that can make you happier.

also this is very important, you don't need to do any sort of hormone replacement therapy in order to be trans. not everybody can access HRT, and for those who can access it, not everybody wants to take on all the changes that come with treatments. you don't have to chemically or physically change your body in any way in order to deserve respect

all right that's all I have for right now feel free to add anything in the comments, I would especially like to hear from trans men what your experiences have been, I think openly talking about these types of things can really help some people

Little guys they don't know what they are doing I love them 😭😭😭

based on that one bumblecast episode

Stop giving it money
