How HRT is treating me so far!

as of today, it’s been 6 months and 20 days since i started T. i haven’t really been doing much to document my progress, especially bc i hate taking pics/vids of myself, so i figure i’ll do a little something here. i also don’t see many nonbinary people pursuing medical transition so i wanna be some representation for the people! believe it or not, it does make a difference. anyways, yall better say sum cute about my babies or else 😡😅#testosterone #bodytransformation #transgender #nonbinary #lgbtq🌈

2024/9/28 Edited to

... Read moreAs my journey with testosterone progresses, I have observed numerous physical changes, including increased body hair, skin improvements, and fluctuating weight. These experiences are essential for representing nonbinary people in medical transitions. One notable change has been the thickening and darkening of body hair, alongside the gradual appearance of facial hair. I also utilize topical minoxidil to assist this process. Additionally, my skin has shown signs of improvement after a challenging period with breakouts. While I'm still on a quest for my natural voice and managing anxiety around needles, each step offers valuable insights for others in the LGBTQ+ community. Hot flashes have been another challenging aspect, particularly during summer months while binding. However, staying hydrated and keeping cool has helped mitigate these effects. Despite occasional challenges, my journey is one of self-discovery and empowerment, and I hope to inspire others to embrace their unique transitions.
