3 years on T today! (ignoring the couple months i stopped last year anyway 🙈)
i didn't start transitioning until my 30s and i SO wish i had back when i was questioning so much as a teen, i could have been so much further along and my life so much different
but i have no regrets about starting
Jan 29, 2026 17:39i think if i had come out and started earlier, i wouldn't be so scared to go "all in" tho, bc i'd still have been a kid, i'd have time to grow into it
starting as an adult in small con/servative town where everyone knows me as a woman has made it harder for me to commit all the way
i've kept my dose low the whole time, so that my changes have been slow and less noticeable (tho very clearly still there, my voice is much different, but still not as masc as it could be 😔😩)
i say i WANT to be androgynous to make myself feel better, its nice i can look masc or fem on any given day
but i see guys way further along that are much younger than me,,, with their muscles and their body hair and their top surgery and i'm like DAMN i wish that were me RIGHT NOW!!! 😫
the exact same way i felt at 16 when i first saw trans guys sharing their before and after photos on tumblr ahdhsj
i shouldn't be jealous, at least i'm finally on my journey, i'll hopefully get to the place i want to be, 3 years feels like a long time, but it's really not that much in the grand scheme
progress just feels slow but thats really my own fault, i'm too anxious about judgement where i live and my job
this year i'm working on it tho
i'm increasing my T dose a little bit and i'm actively saving for top surgery,,, when i can afford to put a little money aside for it anyway
maybe everything i want won't happen this year but i'm gonna make sure it happens sooner instead of later 😤
