Those were pretty cool. I knew most of these were false, but it's fun to read them.

'Average Penis Length is Seven Inches'

Ok, I can breathe again, the chemical rush to my head has ebbed, ummm I dunno. I shrug at most of these. All I know is, I waited 8 months for hair on my cheeks, never got any, shaved the cheek last month and now there are long hairs there.

The distance from thumb to forefinger end though? I want the rest of my junk lol.

Evan, MOST ftms don't get facial hair there before 8 months. Actually, it can take a lot longer. If you really want to rail against science with personal experience, try shaving only one side. If that side gets considerably hairier than the other, you'll have anecdotal evidence to the contrary.

Yay I'm not alone then(on my 8th month now). My doctor/endocrinologist didn't really give me time lines for anything. I've started my admans apple, a tiny bit of muscle mass and face reshape but pretty much no faical hair cept when you look really close. :P

As for the Myths...lol @ the oyster one.

Rofl. Who told you :P

However, when I saw hairs on the shaved side and none on the other I "hurried up" and shaved the other in case I'd be lopsided :P

BUT the last shaved side has actually got more hair now. (What? You didn't at least think I was gonna TRY to find out?)

I don't remember anything else but I got my new wallpaper.

Trying to increase your lifespan there, Evan? :P

Those were funny pictures, though. Was the hairy chested guy Will Ferrell?

Well, I loved the description of oysters and while I know that Evan has placed the new wall paper on his computer, how many of you know that it is the watch face? :lol:

Love ya,

The hairy chested guy was 'The Hoff', David Hasselhoff from about the time of the "Night Rider" series.

Many considered him a hunk (he still does!)

Love ya,

I agree with Evan re: The distance from thumb to forefinger end.

I like #1 cuz mountain dew is my fave. soft drink and well...I want to keep a clear record for the future. need the odds to be on my side as much as possible...lol..now what about soy..? :huh

"Caloric content in beer is extremely high, but there is nothing special about beer that makes you grow a bulbous midsection, unless you’re a woman, and that’s due to bad decisions after having too many beers in one night."

LOL!

I definitely have some facial hair, just not enough to grow a full beard. There is enough hair to upset my mom if I don't shave while I'm visiting home.

My facial hair is TOTALLY asymmetrical. The left side is way better off than the right.

Shaving does make beards thicker in one way. Hairs don't all grow at the exact same rate. If you have a beard and trim it, it makes the beard look thicker because it evens up the hair.

lol yup. (And I don't shave mine normally, I can count how many times like 5?6? And more at the beginning, just twice in the last month)

I have to shave a couple of times a week if I'm going to campus. My adolescent stubbery outs me because students know I am old enough that I should have a full beard, if I wanted to grow one. :(

I really wanted to be able to grow a passable goatee before I have to go on job interviews. *tear*

My mom is going to HATE my soul patch.

Hey as for the facial hair thing it is genitic. I have a full beared and have had one since my 1st year on T. When it first started to grow I grew more on the left than the right. bio guys do as well. A friend of mine was able to tell me on my 7th month of T that I would connect and that it should grow in full. All he did was look at my face really close. So at about a year i let it all grow it took about a month and it was full. Thin but all there. I wopuld shave only twice a week and still had smooth face. Now after 2yrs and 4months on T It grows everyday. I have a 5 oclock shadow before the end of the day. I have a full beared in 4 days. So now i have to shave everyday. I was telling my wife how I hate shaving now, she told me to get over it 'cause that's what i wanted. Anyhow now cause I have to shave so much I spend a lot of money on shaving gel, razors and after shave. Just resently started to get razor bumbs so I have to exfoliate now. FUN!. Anyway I had no Idea I would be soo hairy, every where. I'm still growing hair places like my ears and now the inside of my arms, and back. They say it takes up to 5yrs on T. Well its been a little over 2, how much more hair can I guy grow?

You know what I wouldn't change a thing!

Lol I want what you have!

The guys in my family have full heads of hair, but I've never seen them with a full beard before. Maybe theirs just doesn't grow fast or they shave everyday.

      Good morning @Adrianna Danielle   I’m glad you agreed to the paternity test.    My Uncle found himself in a similar situation and after the test he was faced with explaining his infidelity and one night stand to his wife and family. Not only did the test come back; “YOU ARE THE FATHER” she looked like a sister to the other children in his family. This was a “23 & Me” moment confirmed by an independent test. The most important reason for the young lady to search for her father, was medical history and peace of mind. The blessing of the test was her understanding and willingness to disappear into obscurity. That was not what my Uncle or his family wanted to happen. She was family and they wanted to know her and eventually love her as a family member. The next 4th of July family gathering, she was introduced to the rest of her extended family and I gained a cousin. My prayers for you as you navigate all the possibilities, and I hope it works out for everyone involved.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Well I’m short on time again!   I had to move to the couch around 3:15 this morning. Unfortunately my wife’s med vac was making a lot of noise which woke me up and I couldn’t sleep. Then I over slept because my alarm wasn’t set correctly, my fault.    @Mirrabooka Hobart is a beautiful city and Tasmania is a wonderful place to visit. I was there several times in the 80s.    @Birdie Texas isn’t the only state with such laws.  Don’t try going to a public bathroom in Florida either. Now there laws aren’t based on chromosomes or anything like that but it’s a birth certificate as far as I know.  That Texas law is a tough one, really anti transgender in all respects. Except!  What if you have an extra chromosome?  Or DNA that’s flipped?  Did they think of that situation?  Medical theory suggests that is the case when it come to Transgender people, but especially the young ones.  Also, IQ, that tends to be higher than average.  There are a lot of things about us the medical science is studying, not just psychology.   got to go   Willow

      I started estrogen (oral) a little before age 50 and not the maximum dose either and also no blockers. It almost immediately accentuated the feminine features I already had, and expanded my already soft areas of skin, widened my hips and distributed more fat to my thighs and increased my breast size. There seem to be some subtle changes to my face too though I doubt I am any more passable than I was a decade ago, it’s just nice to not use breast forms anymore. I haven’t switched to injections as planned and there really hasn’t been much change after the first 6 months and my body fights back; my E levels dropped and T increased even on the same dose so it has not really done much for me. It sounds like injections are the far better way to go, plus progesterone after a while if the doctor will prescribe that.    As is often said, everyone is unique and one’s mileage may vary, and what works for one person may not for another.

      This is so sad. The violence in general in Washington State seems to have ramped up a lot, and gender-based violence and hate crimes seem to be worse as well. My parents once lived in Renton but I don’t care for that city and never go there. I don’t think it really matters though as crimes like this can happen anywhere and often are perpetrated by a male who was in a prior relationship with the victim.

      I’ve never been in therapy specifically labeled as such, butI think IFS therapy evolved from treatment of dissociative identity disorder in which one’s various alters or parts are treated as an internal family, and each part is like a separate individual who can be spoken to individually or have dialogue with other parts. In a person with full DID, doing that supposedly helps to break down the dissociative barriers that cause that person to not be able to remember what they did for parts of a day or longer. This was the case with me.   Anyone’s mind, though, can be thought of as being compartmentalized to some extent and we all can have an inner child and various aspects of our selves, yet the dissociation is never to a degree that it causes problems like with DID. But the same aspects of working with an internal family or different aspects of self, like the inner child, the rebellious teen, the persecutor parental type, etc, can help heal trauma nonetheless. I think many of us do have sides of us that we don’t like, or others don’t like, and it can be useful to examine how they came about and what purpose they serve as they are often a means of self-protection or coping with anxiety.

      We had soup and steamed rice for dinner tonight.  Simple, basic, feed-a-ton-of-people kind of food.  With strawberries for dessert!  We have a huge strawberry patch, so I spent a couple of hours this afternoon picking.  And there's some left over, which I put in the downstairs kitchenette.  Time for a late night snack!     Outside of meals, I mostly live by nibbling on fruit and a few green things.
