Jaw Soreness On T

I have a faint recollection that something like this came up a few months ago, but I can't find the thread.

For the feens on T -- did you get sort of a random soreness in your jaw after a few months? Did it go away? I'm about 10 months on T now, and I'm wondering about this. It feels a bit like you were suddenly trying to bite through something very tough even though you're not trying to bite anything at all. It's really odd.

Yep, and yep. It came about and it went away, can't remember how long it took though, sorry. It's just the jaw realigning a bit to a more masculine look... it's common in male puberty. B)

Just what one small step said. Can't remember how long my segment like that lasted either. Maybe on and off several weeks to a couple months? Not a long time though and pretty much everyone has it. One of those things doctors don't mention but siblings or relatives who were natal will remark "ooooh yeeeah, I remember that" as if it was easily slipped from their memery.

Mine hurt, but I didn't think it was related to T. I'd been chewing a lot of gum around the same time. It was more of a tightness, like I'd been gritting my teeth for a long time, only I hadn't been.

Ya, like Evan mentioned, the doctors didn't say anything about it and I hadn't heard of it before it happened. But once it did I was like wait a second, what's the difference between a boys face before/after puberty... more squared off jaw line... that would prolly cause some soreness. The plus side is it definitely does go away, and in the scheme of things it'll just become a faded memory... B)

Not to mention it's another cool masculine attribute to have. :) Another thing I've heard from other guys that docs don't really mention is that you tend to get acne where you are about to grow hair? For instance facial hair - you will start to get acne around your chin area, which indicates you are about to grow hair there. I dunno if it's true or not but if it is it's another one of those odd things like the jaw soreness that no one really mentions.

oh ya that's definitely true! IMO, it's cuz the pores are opening up for the hair folicles (sp?) to come out and more dirt gets in and then causes acne...

Yeah, theres a bunch of stuff docs don't mention and I wonder if its that its just too many things to list or that people vary or what but the person who actually gave me an insight on the acne/hair thing (and she did it during somebody's thread ) was Miss Sally who's words where "they like to come in under cover of pimples". The first time I heard the jaw thing was another FtM on a whole different site who initially was kinda freakin out wonderin why he was havin discomfort. Then in midthread had the opportunity to talk to his actual genetically related bio-brothers and one of em was like "oooooh yeeeeah, I had that. " You'd think docs remembered this stuff.....

      masculine women

      By Thea · Posted

      I'm a masculine woman. It's not about masculinity though. It's about expanding what it means to be a woman.

      Good morning All. Coffees on.

      By awkward-yet-sweet · Posted

      It never rains but it pours.  We had a dry spring, but now my garden is a swamp and my yard is a pond.  Get off the gravel road, and you'd need a hovercraft.    With nothing better to do, I'm going on a short trip with my husband tomorrow.  Since he's in management he usually doesn't do this sort of work, but whenever he does I usually go along.  And he already knows not to try staying in a hotel, because I want to sleep in the bunk in the truck.  So much more cozy.    And for a couple of days, GF can actually take care of her own kids instead of leaving them to me....

      Been a while.... Do you sing or play an instrument?

      By awkward-yet-sweet · Posted

      I have played clarinet, but without talent.  And while I *can* sing, I think listening to it would be an acquired taste.

      Do you use make-up? If so, why and what types?

      Hi Sally, okay I'll head on over to your post and check out your makeup techniques.

      Hey all,   It's been a while, but I blogged a whole series on makeup.  It's an eight-part series where I talk about my techniques.   Here is the link to Part 1:       Hopefully the blog series is helpful.

      Oh, I can relate to that one Vicky, leaving lipstick in hot weather  I've lost count how many times I had to purchase new purses.

      I do spoken word acting, and give Trans 101 talks and other public speaking.  I wear make-up for those occasions.  Sephora is easy for me to get to, and has a foundation that does a good job for me and the sales folks there are Trans Friendly.  Their eye shadow pallets are also fun to use. Another source of my foundation is Ulta which carries Dermablend that does a consistent job of my lower face and chin.   I just use good old Revlon lipsticks because I ruin them by leaving my purse in the hot car too often.

      Sort of a Lousy Introduction

      By Abigail Genevieve · Posted

      I'm not interested in makeup, jewelry or nice clothes or girly stuff.  It's made me wonder at times.   It saves some money.  If I wore a skirt it would likely  be denim.  I thought about a woman's skirt suit but nah.   Neither of my sisters are into that stuff either.  One likes peasant chic (still a 60s flower girl)  and the other - the only time she has ever worn a dress was at her wedding.  Jeans at all other times.   Jeans and t shirt here.  Content being a girl.  Weirdo. Weirda? Never mind.

      Question

      By VickySGV · Posted

      @Ladypcnj Before posting links to other group's websites, PM one of the Staff (preferably an Admin) and have them check that site out.   We have specific rules here regarding age appropriateness and would need to know that the other site is in line with those rules.  We do have members here between 13 and 18 and other sites need to be safe for that age range, legally and otherwise.  Also, we are not a dating or pick-up site, not do we allow people selling things to advertise here.  As I said clear the link with a moderator or admin before posting it.  Mod's and admins do check out posts and if we find problem links we will remove them and notify the OP of a rules violation.  Go to https://www.transgenderpulse.com/community-rules to understand where we are.
