It really helped me a lot. Like more than I imagined. I was really scared at first but the day I started treatment most of those feelings just went away. The testosterone really makes you focus a lot on how you are perceived by others and it makes you worry a lot about being seen as unmasculine. One of the unexpected positive effects.
My best advice would be to get hormones as fast as possible, and you don’t have to take a huge dose at first if you don’t want to. The higher dose makes your secondary sexual characteristics much stronger. Keeping a lower baseline will still give you a lot of feminization without losing the ability to pass as a guy. Also start building the wardrobe now. I buy one thing usually when I get paid. This way it doesn’t become extremely expensive. Also wear sunscreen if you work in the sun, and start growing your hair out. Get some decent shampoo, ladies shampoo tends to be much better for your hair but to have nice hair you have to grow out your hair starting with the good shampoo.
Also you don’t have to tell everyone your business. I kept it secret for a while, until I started hormones. Don’t make your life complicated. You don’t owe anyone an explanation. Also make sure you think about your future! Eat well, try to think about a career, brush your teeth and have fun watching yourself become the person you want to be in the mirror. My favorite part is seeing myself in the mirror. I love myself now and I hope you will as well. Good luck! Reach out if you need someone to talk to.
It’s good to hear. I am currently way more preoccupied with what other people think and it’s exhausting. As far as dosage goes, I want to go all in from the beginning. I’ve heard that the majority of boob growth happens in the first three years so I want to be close to the max dose with estrogen and progesterone. I want those curves, you know. The only concern is that I don’t want to be cut out of the inheritance lol.
As for the wardrobe I’ would pretty much get away with a few sweater dresses and leggings. I want stylish comfy clothes. Anything else I can borrow from my partner who is a similar size to me. I have never used men’s shampoo because it smells like shit. And as far as sun damage goes, in just over a month I’ll be saying goodbye to the sun until January. One of the advantages of living in the high north.
