Random Question About T


Guest Drew

Recommended Posts

hey there. i had gotten to thinking about something rather random about the effects of T. i was on the personal website of another FTM and reading his section about what T had done for him. he wrote that since he had been on T he had noticed alot more belly button lint, this was also true for me and i was wondering if anybody else had had this experience and if anybody knew why this might be? i'm sure it sounds like a rather strange question but i was just curious.

lol god I love this place lol....nope, all clean. But I do wanna hear what everyone else has to say too.

But I did hear some non-textbook responses too. I actually like hearin those cuz sometimes you'll be wonderin "is it the T?-nah, it couldn't be" and guess what? It is. Cuz others are havin the same stuff. Example: episodes of aching joints. Not severe or anything but enough to notice. I thought was just me cuz I knew I had arthritis too but another ftm experienced it, checked with his brother -a bio male- and the brother said "yeah, thats normal in bio dudes when they start puberty some of em".

Or sore throat feeling as opposed to the standard "cracking voice".

Or S/O's getting bent out of shape because the crotch area starts smelling like a male crotch area....

That's strange, I noticed that as well recently, but never really thought it was a result of T. Maybe it is if other people have noticed it as well. I just find everywhere starts smelling bad quicker ever since I started testosterone.

And as much as I have in past always had it on my list when people said "why do you like women?"- one of the answers when describing "everything about her" was the smell, both overall and between their legs . For some reason I guess subconciously I pinned the smell on the "item" but in fact its source is the hormone in relationship to the item. Sooooo same way we get "growth" we get the penis smell is what I conclude.

that's funny 'cause I never even thought about it to much, but I do have more lint in my belly button and mybe it is the hair (i have a very hairy stomach) or maybe it's the change in the shape of my body. i did notice when I first started T that my smell changed not just down there but everywere. I sweat more and have to take more showers. My wife says I smell like boy all the time, I like that.

On T are you sweating any more? That might be helping to catch lint.

That's what I was going to say. I've been sweating a lot more. Also, as Martin mentioned, the extra hair probably helps catch stuff too. Sweat + hair = belly button lint.

Drew, I totally know what site you are reading. It's a good one. That guy kept some awesome and complete records.

      In my case, at almost 9 months, most changes have been very subtle. I was 60 when I started, and overweight. Also, I am not very observant when it comes to changes. In the last 3 months I have been on T blockers and breast growth have definitely started having suffered irregular "ouchies", but at the same time I have been slowly losing fat, so Bust measurements have not changed. What has changed in the density, I can feel a difference. Face wise the skin feels softer, and my lashes seem to be more visible. Head hair regrowth is a maybe- maybe not situation.  I do have to select men's clothing carefully to camouflage the change in breast shape. I guess I'm still at the not passable as a female stage especially with no makeup. I'm also over 6 foot and well over 100kgs which I guess is problematic to start with!   Hope this helps somewhat   Kate .

      I started feminizing HRT about 6-7 weeks ago. I began with what I called the beginner's patch. I immediately found myself wanting to level up to the next dose and did that this week (yay!). So far, I am enjoying the ride.   I've read everything I can find on this topic. For the HRT vets on here, what is reasonable to expect in terms of physical changes for someone starting in their 50s? I know "your mileage may vary." I guess I am curious if I stay on my current trajectory for six months, a year, multiple years, how pronounced will the physical changes be? Will I reach a point where it is totally obvious or will I land in a "middle zone" somewhere in which I could pass either way?   Thanks! Like I said I am enjoying the ride so far and always curious to know others' experiences. Not sure anyone else in my life will be excited about these moves I am making, but I have been over that in many places on here already so need to rehash... Love and blessings to all!   Easy

      Being admitted into the hospital after a long ER visit. I started passing lots of blood and they are keeping me for observation.    Nurse came in to see about a condom catheter, that of course doesn't work on me. 🤣   She said, "I guess we will use incontinence supplies on you."

      Yeah.  I think this is what it is about.  Since they are not transgender, nobody else could possibly be either.  I'm not sure that a cisgender person can understand being transgender.  But that hardly means that a transgender person's experience is not real - just because it is not theirs. Why is a transgendered person's experience not valid, while a cisgendered person's is?  Why should it be the cisgendered person that decides? Nobody is forcing a cis person to transition.  What I do for myself is my own business.

      Decided to head for Lowes after work early and bought a new stove.Was in stock and put it back of my truck.Luckily a neighbor of mine whom does appliance repair did come to remove the connection and convert the stove to natural gas in the new one.Was set up for propane.Happy with it and the scrap metal guy came to pick up my old one.He was happy to get it,said he needed one more to make it a load in his trailer full of junk appliances

      I've been thinking it is a matter of belief.  They simply do not believe someone can validly be transgender and should not be allowed to practice their beliefs, but should be forced to practice their belief, that is, that there is no such thing as transgender and it is all mental illness/sin/hormonal imbalance.

      I am really kind of sick of everybody who is not transgender deciding on what we need and do not need in the way of procedures. They act like all of this is play acting, and we can just apply cosmetics to our entire body. It might be refreshing if someone asked us directly what services we need in order to transition. I could say more as I am frustrated, but I do not want to violate the TOS.

      I discovered her "Whipping Girl" when my egg first cracked.  It helped me understand some things.
