fuck it im doing a cliffnotes version now:
-bottom growth varies widely. I've known guys who get barely any growth and I've known guys who end up with huge t-dicks (lucky bastards 🙄) it really just depends
-it feels weird at first, but it's not particularly painful. i would get mild pain occasionally when mine first started to grow but I've known a lot of guys who haven't had any pain whatsoever. it's really nothing worth panicking over, relax.
-it is extremely fucking sensitive when it first starts to grow. like EXTREMELY sensitive. i had to switch from boxer briefs to boxer shorts because the chafing was too annoying
-you are going to end up with a foreskin if you get any growth at all and you will have to learn to clean it. thankfully it's very easy to do.
-to put it bluntly, your junk will start to smell like balls. I've seen a lot of guys panic over this. it's normal, i promise you're fine
-atrophy is a bitch but there are things you can do to fix it. I've never tried any of them because i wasn't really big on bottoming to begin with, but I've talked to guys who have had success with it. just ask your doctor.
-while I've known a lot of people who have gotten dried out by T, i haven't really noticed any change myself so ymmv
-you will probably at some point have to compare notes with other transmascs because most doctors dont know shit from fuck about medical transition. it can feel awkward at first, but you'll be surprised how quickly it dissipates. it helps to have a handful of transmasc friends you're already comfortable with vs a bunch of random strangers.
