I’m working on a pair of shorts that have 250+ stitches per round. It currently takes me about 45 minutes a round.

My nipples 100% got sore after a week or so, and 2 weeks in, I could feel the beginnings of milk glands/ducts forming behind my nipples. It starts pretty dang quick, and it’s mostly the fat collection that takes years

That definitely sounds like they’re wither talking out of their ass, or had one or two patients Talk about their boob shape, and are drawing conclusions from a sample size incomprehensibly too small to be statistically significant.

I do 100 mg a day rectally because when I was prescribed it, I asked my dr about taking it recally, and he said that yes some gets got by the liver before it can get to the blood stream, but women taking it generally get enough, so I shouldn’t need to worry about going in the other end. I went a week taking it orally, got the worst insomnia of my life, about 8 hours over 6 days according to my watch, so I switched to taking it rectally, and the insomnia disappeared. Last I checked, my levels were normal

My experience is that milk glands/ducts will be noticeable in ~2 weeks, and will basically be finished growing in a few months. The fat that makes up the majority of the mass is what takes years to collect.

I have some significant wrinkles on my forehead when I raise my eyebrows and a pretty intense widows peak, but both are basically invisible because I have bangs. The only reason I have them is because I haven’t cut my hair significantly in the last year, but they’re still bangs! I also have rather curly hair, so that helps with breaking up any lines you might see through them, but I basically leave my forehead untouched when I do my makeup they cover so well. I don’t know what that stylist was talking about with bangs not working with a widows peak, because everyone I know has advised me to keep the bangs, hairsylists included, so maybe try a different stylist. You can see what my hair looks like in my post history.

Edit: Wow I just looked back at that picture and my bangs are nowhere to be seen in that photo! Fortunately, neither is my widows peak

Hell yeah! I can change my gender marker once with no fee, and then there’s a charge, which I don’t expect to ever need to pay. I’m technically supposed to destroy my old licenses, but I’ve got all of them from the last 10 years, and I don’t look like I aged at all through the pictures. My beard changed length, and my buzz cut was slightly longer in some, but that’s about it. Now, I suddenly have jaw length hair (1 year or growth), no facial hair, and the photo is so overexposed my eyeliner is the only part of my eye you can see besides my irises/pupils, and it makes me look crosseyed as fuck. 🤦‍♀️ Having that F instead of M is huge tho! I had a couple people have to take a second to confirm I’m the person in the photo before I got a new picture, which was always weirdly affirming because it was confirmation that I’d made some some significant progress.

Yeah, the loss of libido generally only lasts 2-3 months. I was about 8 months in by the time someone who knew what they were doing looked at my dosing and still no sex drive

I am, and that was what I was hoping would happen because my libido was nonexistent, and it wasn’t until I got into the trans health clinic that I found out why

it almost feels like a cramp sometimes but without any pain

Holy shit that’s the exact way to describe it! It’s down in my plevis for me, but yeah that’s exactly how it feels!

It doesn’t usually come with a full erection, but it’s not difficult to get it there if I’m trying.

a lot of women become multiorgasmic

Found out that’s me last night! I finished, but my wife kept going, after 3 orgasms, the greedy bitch, and things started building again! I took the I’m going soft and my heartrate is already fast enough thank you excuse out of more sex. 😅

Couldn’t be me at 32 and only cracking my egg a year ago! Fucking hell do I wish I had started earlier

That’s exactly how it went for me! My dysphoria was basically nonexistent until I started transitioning, and then little things keps popping up over and over until I was pretty damn sure I was making the right choice. Boymoding was easy peasy at first and girlmoding was near impossible, but now the idea of jeans/cargo short and a tee shirt, which was my standard male attire, makes me want to scream. It’s almost as if my appearance was genuinely not a problem until I realized I was trans and the “correct” way to present myself flipped. I wish you all the best on your gender journey! ❤️

That’s the plan, and I still have no clue how I’ll have it displayed lol

This is just going to encompass 2026, so december 31st is the last day for a book to get onto this snake

36 is for the year 😆 I’m not that much of a speed reader!

Yeah, I didn’t get that either. Doesn’t help that I was getting a dose of cyproterone that was insanely high, so I didn’t have any measuraable testosterone and I haven’t had any bloodwork done since I stopped taking the cypro, but I want to feel horny again 😫

Cozy. That band was for legends and lattes, a cozy fantasy

I have topless progress pics saved in my secure folder on my phone, and just took a look back at them and jesus fuck did I underestimate how much boob has grown over the 10 months I’ve been on HRT. I still feel like I have a somewhat flabby man chest sometimes, but I wore a dress my crocheted breast forms stayed in place in with no bra the other day and and accidentally stunlocked myself by looking down to fix my necklace with my arms crossed to see cleavage! I’m on a security camera glancing down and just staring at my own tits completely stunned for 3 or 4 seconds! 😆 My boobs are boobin’!

Hell yeah! The emotions was the first big difference I felt too. It’s jarring to see just how muted your life was pre hrt, but you’re doing the thing now, so yay you! I get not wanting to post pics of your face online, and it took a long time for me to do so, and the only reason I did was because of the overwhelming urge to share my experience with makeup. Whether or not you end up getting to that level will be your own journey, but never feel like you have to to be valid. Feeling safe is far more important than showing us weirdos what you look like or proving to us that you’re real! ❤️
