Slowly hatching into my new self in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 15 hours ago

i did voice training long before i started T. My voice usually passed. Had a naturally low voice to begin with. The thing I was most afraid of was my voice i was okay with going to shit but luckily that didnt happen.

I've never heard of losing it entirely where you can't talk, but I have heard about times it has been greatly reduced in quality, tone, and range permanently. Usually this happens if you start on a very high dose of T without building up to it.

Slowly hatching into my new self (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

I wanted to give an update on my progress:

My voice has gotten much better. There was a period of time where it was almost hard to speak and I could barely sing and thought my voice would sound like shit forever but I am happy to report that it has leveled out. It even sounds good and has a rich tone.

Losing my voice peremantly was my biggest fear with starting T. Took the risk and I am so glad that it didn't happen.

Yes...still on low dose. Just got my labs done for the first time in seven months, so with the results of that i can hopefully start the increase.

Something funny (and not funny) that happened to me is that someone who did not know I was trans thought I'd be transphobic because (presumably) I'm from the south and shared with me all of their shitty opinions on trans people in private thinking I'd agree with them

It's interesting how both are oppressive in different ways

I mean it in the sense of being percieved as not-man, not nececarily trans.

i don't think it's objective fact but it does make me feel that way sometimes, yeah. Maybe it's a cultural or age difference.

After moving states to a much more progressive one i feel like i get clocked all of the time here, whereas back home that rarely ever happened. When i pass by male strangers they dont do the nod thing to me. its very disconcerting. I get they'd by people who don't know me. I wish I could know what it was that makes people clock me like that. It feels like I'm not man enough here. Not being stealth feels like being naked. I don't like it.

Part of me wants to talk about my experiences as a trans man because it is a unique expierence that needs to be known, but at the same time I feel like as soon as I tell people I'm trans I automatically become Man Lite™ and a bunch of assumptions are made about me. And then I'm not man enough and am not treated as any other man would be treated. I wish T would do its magic already. I'm constantly feeling dysphoric these days.

How do i control acne (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

i have a decent amount of acne after starting T. I wash my face every night with a cleanser scrub thing but still get lots of blackheads and pimples. Any tips at how to minimize this?

Pictures post transition (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

I've noticed that when I used to see myself in pictures I'd hyper assess every little detail of it to check for passing. Now when I see myself in pictures I don't do that anymore. Anybody else notice the same thing?
