Excuse my ignorance, but why are you on the Therapy.
Studies have shown that testosterone-replacement therapy may offer a wide range of benefits for men with hypogonadism, including improved libido, mood, cognition, muscle mass, bone density, and red blood cell production.

How has it helped your mood and motivation and desires to get out and do things in life?
I started t blockers a couple of weeks ago actually, so I'm just wondering on what exactly it's done for your life. I know I shouldn't expect this to be a magical cure all, but... I don't know, I'm hopeful it'll put me in a better place to allow me to actually help myself. I'd like to know the experience of someone much further down the line than I am.
Was your dosage gradually increased?
Can you full beard yet?
Best pussy you've gotten now that you're part of the Broalition?SpoilerOnly partially joking; what's the intimacy life like for someone this far along in the process? Have you found that people fetishize it, or have you found meaningful relationships? How has it affected your professional life or your relationship with your family? No need to respond if it's too personal.
r u making massive gains?
Girl to boy, or boy to girl?

So, what started everything? When did you want to change?
Quote from: Death on May 02, 2016, 02:41:42 PMSo, what started everything? When did you want to change?I was a quiet introvert who hated nothing more in the world than myself. Going back to middle school when I first started puberty, the mere thought of growing up to be the stereotypical image of a woman made me suicidal but I never really understood why. Took years for me to finally admit that I was trans and that it wasn't a bad thing. All I wanted then was to be normal and to blend in, and the thought of being a freak only served to dig me into a deeper hole.Despite having a sister who really wasn't the best behaving child, my parents were also extremely harsh with me and never to her- my mother especially. I was never allowed to be myself and she never let me pick my own clothes, and everything I did was frequently criticized. They're rather religious and apparently a few relatives had the suspicion that I might be a lesbian considering how boyish and androgynous I had always been and that no doubt freaked my parents out. In my last two years there they frequently locked me up in the house so that I couldn't leave or do anything other than a never ending list of chores: the idea was to teach me how to be a good housewife, but obviously nothing good came from that and I shut down. Eventually things got so toxic that I couldn't even be within their line of sight without them having some sort of issue with me.After they kicked me out it only took a few months for me to come out more publicly and I started transitioning pretty much right away, and honestly I think that probably saved my life.
I remember when you got kicked out, Sandtrap had that fundraiser thing.Whether or not you weren't happy that he took his own initiative and asked for it for you, did the money help?
JesusSo, if your parents were to miraculously accept you for who you are, would you forgive them? Or is the relationship too far gone?

Honestly, I spent years desperately trying to get them to love and accept me, but I've got better people in my life now. If they were to magically do a 180 somehow I'd probably be able to forgive them eventually, but they're not ever going to be a part of my life again.Damn, that's sad.

SpoilerAfter about a year I did try to reenter the dating scene but I was met with a lot fetishism and horrible, horrible remarks from people. Put simply: online dating is absolutely horrid when your trans. There are a lot of people who are only interested for the sake of "experimenting" and have no interest in anything beyond that. People will go out of their way to send everything from death threats to telling you exactly why they think you're disgusting, and just lack of human decency is extremely common. A large percentage of people that message you will basically grill you with lengthy and intrusive interviews and get upset or even offended if you tell them that some of the stuff they're asking is inappropriate or rude. 90% of people who message you also have no intention of actually meeting you.
>I want to be a hairy, smelly guyFucking why?! I can see why some would be MtF, you get to be fucking pretty and cute! But FtM, GROSS!

Was it primarily from women?I'm just curious as to how someone finds themselves getting to that point. "Trans-panic" type shit?
