Almost two weeks on testosterone,

Acne is a thing that is happening. It's not bad, at all. But I have always had super clear skin, and I have been noticing the amount of acne that I have went from zero to a noticeable amount. So, yay for puberty. Chafing is also totally a thing that is happening. That's been uncomfortable at times. Sex drive has only gotten higher and higher. Hair growth is still happening and the hair is getting darker and thicker.  And I am hot... al... the... time. My voice is a tiny bit lower. 

The last couple of days my sleep pattern has been way off though and I have been sleeping really poorly. I have also felt kinda low energy? I'm concerned that may have to do with the low of my injection cycle. So I'm probably going to talk to my doctor about that on Monday. 

i love carrot cake.

No Boobs for Brennan on IndieGogo!

I'm 20 years old and I reside in NY. I am a laid back, hard-working guy who also happens to be transgender. I am currently saving up for top surgery because my chest makes me extremely dysphoric and uncomfortable. For now, I have to wear a chest binder (which compresses my chest), but after years of use it is at the point where it causes too much pain (imagine having your entire torso wrapped extremely tight in saran wrap for 8 hours a day -- that's basically how it feels).

You can help me make things better. As I mentioned, I'm currently working and saving up as much as I can, but $7,000 isn't exactly pocket change. That's where you can help to make a difference -- with your pocket change. Every little bit adds up. As you can see, I've set up "perks" to make things more fun and interactive. I want you to know how grateful I am even for the smallest donation or even just for some kind words. If you are able to help out in any way, I will appreciate it immensely. This surgery means a lot to me as I will finally feel comfortable in my body.

I am selling purple wristbands that say “human” to help raise money for my top surgery. They’re $5. If you would like one, send me a message. =)

The garter thing was super awkward too.

I don't feel like doing a video response, but I have a couple of genderqueer public experiences. One was at a convention where I was dressed as a male character. I didn't have any binding supplies so I just wore a tight shirt under my suit, and when I held myself a certain way it was still super obvious that I had a chest. This guy bumped into me in a line and immediately apologized with "Sorry Sir," though, so apparently my presentation was spot on anyway.
