I used to think I was so weird, but I had absolutely no context whatsoever to explain absolutely anything that I was experiencing. One of the things that I could never really wrap my head around was my fascination with menstrual products. My sister is about two and a half years older than me and while growing up we shared a bathroom. She was always upset because I took so long in the restroom and she could never understand what…
I am Far Less Sad but Not Truly Happy Yet
September 26, 2021The first picture was 3 months of estrogen, the second is 4 years and 3 months of estrogen. I really like estrogen, hehe!A good friend recently remarked that the closer I am getting to my surgery date, the worse things seem to be for me. For many who have known me for a long time it may very well appear that way though in reality a few different things are going on. First off, I am willing to be more…
I had pretty much given up all hope of ever developing hips as I thought they were part of ones skeletal structure. You either have them or you don’t. I have for sure read that changing your hormones’ will cause the fat within your body to shift around, but I didn’t really think that would give me hips. And yet, here we are, lol. I love that I got this photo as it clearly shows that I have shape, and…
Wow, really, it has been two years? Hmmm….. how did that happen? In many ways, it is surprising to me that two years have passed since I first changed my hormones. It feels as though the time has flown by and that it can’t possibly have already been two years. I have felt great and it has done nothing but cement in my mind that this trans stuff is totally real!! I know, little Mrs. me, forever doubtful of the…
Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow. On a level of 1 to 10, can you describe the pain you are in? 1 is no pain at all and a 10 is the worst pain you have ever felt. Where would I describe this pain? Oh, in the 9-10 range. I don’t really think I have ever felt any pain like this before. However, when I was asked this question yesterday in the hospital, I said, oh I don’t know maybe…
Regret is a very difficult thing to deal with, and there is great concern out there about what will happen if a transgender person may regret their decision to transition. I first encountered this worry when I informed my friends and family that I had switched my hormones. I was actually quite surprised at how many people said to me – wow, okay, are you sure that is what you want to do? And very often that was followed up…
What? Hormones Were Life Changing?
January 1, 2019Recently (who am I kidding, it was months ago!) a reader of this blog, Stana, a most awesome blogger herself, asked for me to expand on this section of one of my posts: Hormones – This one was life changing for me. It really opened my eyes to my reality. I laugh at who I thought I was prior to last July and changing my hormones to the right ones. Changing my hormones did many things for me. Physically they…
