Welcome to the Shack

and even the informed consent paperwork lists atrophy as a side effect of testosterone. why would that be a painless experience? if your arm or your lungs started to “atrophy”, to become weaker and smaller, couldn’t they also start to hurt?

trans guys take testosterone for the systemic, permanent, whole-body effects, right?… and you don’t believe people when they say “this drug has systemic permanant effects, all throughout the body”?

Here and here are some reddit screenshots both from r/detrans and r/ftm.

Here is my master spreadsheet of reddit testimonials which is currently sitting at 89 entries (don't think I've been sleeping on it! And don't think I haven't started archiving the posts ;)))) they're there forever bb :)))) .

It's wild blueberry season in Sweden and I've been picking and eating my fill everyday from the forest behind my house! The entire forest floor is covered in wild blueberry bushes and the tangy taste is so cosmic, I had to paint them✨ Photos of the berries I picked!

We talked and caught up as much as we could during the transaction and when he was done I gave him a hug. We weren’t close in middle school, but we became good friends at our previous job and it was strengthened by the history of going to school together.

After he left my coworker told me I was crazy for hugging him in front of his girlfriend and I was left confused, still am to this day.

He popped up in my memories on Facebook today and it reminded me of that and it just had me thinking whether or not I was in the wrong. I feel like if that happened while me and my boyfriend were out it wouldn’t be a problem.

In fact, within the last month we were doing our grocery shopping and a woman started speaking to us and said she had went to school with him. Now, my bf and I went to school together for all but the last month of his junior year, my freshman, then I went to a different school my sophomore/his senior. Do I know for a fact they went to school together? No, but I also was two grades younger than them. Granted, he also didn’t remember going to school with her.

We had a conversation about overnight oats and my main concern was hoping she hadn’t heard the joke I made before entering the aisle. We were buying mason jars and I made a joke about staying home and starting to can items, which isn’t necessarily how I want a stranger to have that image of me on their head.
