one day i will make a masterpost of all the shit T does to your junk of only to spare the dozens of young trans guys i see panicking about it the embarassment of having to ask a bunch of strangers if their dick is okay
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.
-the "you will never be able to orgasm again" myth I've seen terfs spread is laughably untrue. don't worry. there was a bit of a learning curve for me figuring out how to jerk off since i was used to working with smaller equipment, but it's fairly easy to get the hang of
-you aren't going to be unable to find any sexual partners because of your bottom growth. that is a myth and a particularly cruel one at that. i have met people of every gender and sexuality, cis and trans, who have been very very into t-dick. you'll be fine, bottom growth is hot.
over a year later i actually want to say that you should get your atrophy looked at even if you aren't bottoming. i would recommend getting it checked out as soon as you notice it
I put it off because i wasnt using that hole anyway so yayyy who cares and now i suspect that it is the cause of some of the urinary issues I've been having (an incredibly stubborn uti and some retention) because it can effect your urethra and bladder, not just your front hole.
don't be dumb like me. get that shit taken care of.
also this should go without saying but your mileage will vary. some of these things may never happen to you. some of them may happen but not to the same extent listed here. it really depends. everyone's body is different.
