I realised I forgot to post on here!
I had a very lovely wander after work on Monday, and bought myself a very nice banana milkshake to commemorate my 7 year t anniversary

I had a very lovely wander after work on Monday, and bought myself a very nice banana milkshake to commemorate my 7 year t anniversary
Today is officially my 7 years on T anniversary!
It's so awesome to see how much things have changed for the better, and to know I have permanent changes that can't be taken away from me feels so affirming. I'm very lucky
Happy trans day of visibility folks!!
This means it's been 2 years since I semi publicly came out as bigender, which is wild
Turns out 7 years ago today, my boyfriend dragged me to a gendercare appointment to get me diagnosed as trans and started on T 2 weeks later how time flies
Removing the silicon tapes on my scars this morning, I felt something.
Looking down what do I see? Chest hair!!
Ok, just half a dozen but coming from a pretty hairless family I wasn't even expecting to develop any.
I am trans
I am queer
I am here to stay!
You are NOT going to force me back into the closet unless you kill me first

Found this shirt in Asda and immediately bought it because it reminded me of Bulldog from Frasier. I'm so glad I did
Today, I booked in my next T shot for the 28th March. It'll be the final shot before I hit 7 years on T, which is hard to believe. I can not believe it's been that long at all
Happy transmasc visibility day folks from your fav bigender person
Starting over at a new barn means leaving his past behind. Taking over the training of a new horse means finding a future and a new found family. Barn family means family.

So, I got through the letter from the musculoskeletal team. My lumbar spine has improved by 6.6%, and my femur has improved by 4.6%. They even included the sentence 'BMD has increased at both spine and hip under the influence of testosterone'.
T has had such amazing impacts on my body it's unbelievable. I feel very lucky.
Starting over at a new barn means leaving his past behind to finding a future and a new found family. In the horse world, barn family means family.

oooh https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danazol is an endo and lupus treatment... but metabolised by liver, so even if joints improve, my ALTs still need to come down.
"Mastodanatrol"?! MASTODON atrol, gdi.
argh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2Ggwe2j0Gc is useful in more ways than just sharing it widely to assuage my anxiety.
A youtube comment: "With masculinizing treatment, I think there are other T options but can't remember the details.
If you've not had surgery, you'll want to consider taking progesterone to prevent pregnancy as T doesn't reliably prevent it.
Additionally, you can take finasteride to try to prevent hairloss although it may stunt beard growth."
"Finasteride is not suitable for some people. To make sure it's safe for you, tell a doctor if you have:
* ever had an allergic reaction to finasteride or any other medicine,
* ever had depression or thoughts about harming yourself,
* severe bladder problems, or
* liver problems".
... well at least I don't have -- oh wait yeah, the recurrent UTIs. :/

Fated to be together, these two wolves were kept apart by fear. Now older and reunited, they're collaborating on Shifters United's new inclusion policy. This time, honesty is their commitment—regardless of where it may lead.
The more I think about it, the more amazing it is.
The Dr explicitly told me that because I take T and because I'm short, my osteoporosis is now cured
My 10 years of osteoporosis has been reversed because I'm.. a short trans man.
