THINGS PEOPLE DON’T TELL YOU ABOUT TRANSITIONING WITH TESTOSTERONE (FTM):
- Except for your specialist, none of your doctors will know exactly what to expect. Unless you’re EXTREMELY lucky and go to a doctor with multiple trans patients, you’re going to be the one teaching them about the changes transitioning causes. Keep this in mind.
- One of the first, if not THE first thing to change will be your clit, which will grow larger, and become a LOT more sensitive.
- Of course, because T is the hormone that makes both males AND females horny, your libido will increase. I went from not wanting sex at all/being completely unphased by porn to actually being able to get horny from porn, and gaining a healthy libido.
- Because your hormones levels are different, your vaginal chemistry will be different. This can mean a number of things: you can dry up, you can get yeast infections more often, OR, if you’re me, you can start having more frequent and more liquidy discharge. Be prepared for anything.
- OH, AND YOU’LL START TO SMELL -REALLY- MUSKY. YOUR JUNK WILL SMELL LIKE MAN. BE PREPARED TO WASH A LOT MORE OFTEN TO KEEP THE EXTREME MAN STANK AT BAY.
- On the note of washing, your hair will get a LOT greasier, as will the rest of you. Your frequent washing won’t JUST be for your junk.
- If you were lucky to not get acne (or get fairly mild acne) as a teenager, you WILL get more acne once on T. Especially on your back.
- Your voice will deepen, yes, and guess what? This means you’ll have trouble hearing yourself over loud music. You’re being JUST as loud as you were before, your voice is just mixing in with the bass.
- Your fat is going to move. If you have perky breasts, they’ll get saggy, and if you have large breasts, they’ll get floppy. That fat will move to your STOMACH, and your BUTT. But hey, goodbye cellulite!
- THICK. BUTTCRACK. HAIR.
- EVEN IF YOUR PERIOD HAS STOPPED, YOU CAN STILL OVULATE. Yes, there is less risk of pregnancy because the T makes your womb less hospitable, but YOU CAN STILL GET PREGNANT IF YOU DON’T USE PROTECTION. You can’t take hormonal birth control either. You’re going to want to get your tubes tied/ovaries removed/a copper IUD put in ASAP, or just accept the fact that condoms BREAK and that’s a risk you’re willing to take.
- (And yes, you CAN get pregnant if he pulls out. Or if he just cums on your labia. Or if he cums in your butt and it drips down onto your labia. AND NO, DOUCHING ISN’T GOING TO WASH THE SPERM OUT, IT’LL HELP THEM GET THERE. This is basic sex-ed.)
- And ONE OF THE WORST THINGS THAT CAN HAPPEN: Because your female sex organs have literally shut down, they can ATROPHY. Meaning THEY CAN LITERALLY DIE AND ROT INSIDE OF YOU. If you intend on keeping your female reproductive organs (not vagina) in-tact, REGULAR GYNO APPOINTMENTS ARE A MUST! Your Gyno will be able to warn you if something IS going seriously wrong, so please please PLEASE don’t avoid going just because of your dysphoria. Being embarrassed and upset is better than being DEAD.
Please please PLEASE do your research, and TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF! There are a lot of risks and changes that aren’t actively talked about, but they are HUGE ones! YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF TO LEARN AS MUCH AS YOU CAN BEFORE YOU TRANSITION, and I learned as much as *I* could before I did, but I was still taken by surprise!
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR JOURNEY! IT’S GONNA BE BIG!!
FYI guys.

runefactuwu said: :) way to sound aggressive with the last part. Atrophy isnt like… DIE AND ROT! it’s just they stop working and dont do well. Just go to the gyno regularly. Us dudes are fine.
