Hi Everyone, I'm ftm, 45years old, been on all sorts of testosterone for about 17 years and still not happy with the levels as they are forever changing so am looking for other ftm etc who've got experience in this to share information. I'm happy to share experiences etc with anyone who needs anything also ?

Welcome Tom.  Hopefully some of our FTM members will check in with you.  HRT is sometimes difficult but hopefully you are working with a doctor who has experience.  I've been fortunate to have my blood levels checked regularly.

 

Hugs,

Hello Tom and welcome.  I would also suggest connecting with a doctor who is knowledgeable about HRT as your levels should be able to be managed effectively.  We have a good number of guys here that can hopefully provide some insight.   Someone should pop into the thread soon.  

 

Cheers, Jani

Welcome to Trans Pulse, Tom.  Thanks so much for your offer to help out some of our less experienced guys.  It's always wonderful to see how the community comes together to help each other out.  We really do need experienced FtM hands here, as many of our newbie guys are young and without a lot of experience.  I'm just wondering about your T levels; has the doctor discovered why your levels are not stable?  Is there some underlying medical condition causing it?  It does happen though, even with MtF's.  My E levels went sky high a few months ago and the doc had no idea why.  She still doesn't, but the levels did drop back to near-normal again recently.  I think it might be related to my Type II diabetes, which is why I asked about underlying conditions.

 

Anyway, let us know how we can help, and we'll do our best.

 

HUGS

Thanks Charlize. Yes I've seen many drs and specialists/Endocrinologists. I really thought they would be able to help but it seems not hence why I'm trying to do my own research. I think I know what I need but just want to do a little research first. I'm interested in hearing from other guys who are taking testosterone and what type of T, how often etc and if they are happy with the results and effects etc..... is there another section I should be asking these questions etc?

Hello Tom

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

Research is always a good thing. Especially when it helps to understand more about yourself. I did shed loads on my situation to really get to know my own angels and demons.

 

It will be most interesting to hear from a 17 year veteran of your trials and tribulations.

 

I look forwald to reading your forum input.

Hi, Tom. I’m 31 and just started T two weeks ago. I give myself ___ ml intramuscular injections of testosterone cypionate once per week. I have yet to notice any changes except for a scratchy voice some days. Looking forward you the changes to come.

 

If you want, you can post in the HRT forum about this. It might be easier for others to find it there.

      Yeah.  There are already laws against assault.  I don't think the overwhelming majority of trans women have any desire to harass cis women.  Speaking for myself, if I go into a women's washroom, it's because my eyeballs are already floating - not for kicks.  And I worry about getting clocked and assaulted by some guy being a "hero."

      Only three, maybe four, sections even mention transgender.  Most is a conservative agenda I have no problem with.   In the sections that mention transgender, there are very few lines.  Those lines ARE problematic, in every case. Unequivocally.  I can't see some of them standing up in court.  In one case a recommended policy goes against a court decision, which strongly suggests the implementation of that policy would be stopped in court.    Anyone maintaining that this is written simply to support Trump, to support him becoming a dictator, to crush transgender people is feeding you a line.  Nor is it an attempt to erase transgender people.   People will have to decide if the overall goals are worth the few problematic statements.  Overall, I support it.  Of course, I have some reservations.

      It is unfamiliar, therefore threatening.   For 90% or so of the population, gender id can be simply and quickly determined by a quick anatomical observation.  They have no understanding and cannot imagine what it would mean to have a body different from the id.  It is unimaginable.  Therefore, wrong.   So there is this strong headwind.   I haven't entered this discussion, but here is a script: A: I can't imagine what it must be to have TG. B: You're a man, right? A: Well, of course. "amused" B: Imagine you were required by law and custom to wear women's clothing all the time. A: It wouldn't happen. B: Okay, but for the sake of the argument... A: That would be disgusting.  I would be very uncomfortable. B: You have it.  That is what TG people go through all the time. 24-7-365. A: Really? B: And then they are told they are perverts for having those feelings.  The same you just described. A: I see. B: And someone comes along and tells you you need conversion therapy so you will be comfortable wearing women's clothing all the time. A: I think I would break his nose. B: You understand transgender folk better than you think.

      I have found some people correlate TG = child predator ... just as some have correlated homosexual = child predator...    I am baffled by the TG = unsafe connection ... my wife tends to think this way, that this is all about sexual deviancy ... I try to ask how my preference for wearing frilly socks with embroidered flowers and a comfortable camisole under my lavender T-shirts is sexually deviant (or sexual anything) but I don't get very far...

      Best wishes to you as you take this step ... many blessings to you!

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.

      Other than the Boy Scout motto, oath, and law. I use two:   When asked how I'm doing? In all honesty I reply. I would have to make something up to complain. If asked to explain further: I reply. I know someone is having a tougher time than I am, and I pray God blesses them.   I also recite this quote that I have tagged in my signature: Courage, doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."-Unknown    Saying these things daily keep me motivated.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      If this goes on, I am conceding the real possibility of being stopped in WM or somewhere by a concerned citizen who tells me, "Lady, God made you female.  I don't think you should be trying to look like a man. You need to return to your true gender and be comfortable living your life out as a woman."   Begin odd and awkward conversation.  I have been thinking about this this morning.

      There are many MAGA GOP types who are not transphobes, of course. Some MAGA GOP types are transgender.

      I'm hoping to read the next section today.  Many of the reforms they are calling for are good, such as expediting the military procurement process, and have nothing to do with transgender issues.
