So I'm coming up to 6 months on testosterone and it's awesome!
The past month I've seen some major changes, my voice has gotten much deeper and more reverberant, my shoe size has gone up for the first time in around 7 years, my facial hair is becoming much more noticeable, and my body shape has changed so I'm more rectangular than hourglass.
I've had pretty substantial bottom growth as well as changes to smell down there. My cup size has also gone down significantly so my old bras don't fit and binders actually effectively flatten my chest.
My period has pretty much entirely stopped, apart from occasional cramping and very occasional spotting, which I am over the moon about (periods were one of the main sources of my dysphoria).
I'm so happy with all of the changes (yes even sweating more and having oily greasy skin and being horny 24/7)
I've got my 6 month endocrinology appointment in a couple of weeks (another £300, ouch) which should be good for making sure my levels are where they need to be.
I'm so happy I'm here. It's been a wild ride from "tomboy" to "definitely a cis woman" to "genderfluid????" to "let's just stuff the whole gender thing in a box and forget about it" to "genderfluid? genderflux? fluxfluid?" to "nonbinary" to "binary trans man" to "nope, nonbinary" to "???????" and finally to "none binary with left boy", because if I can't fully understand it I may as well make a meme of it.
I just can't even imagine what 10 year old me would think of my life now. I wish I could go tell them that they'll figure at least some of it out eventually, and they'll find others like them, and they'll love and be loved by so many wonderful people.
