This page contains descriptions of my personal experiences. Who am I? I'm the person who made this website. Most of this website is dedicated to general information in terms of facts and such. While this page is factual, it will not apply to everyone's experiences. Probably because it is not about everyone's experiences. It is about my experiences.

Transition Regrets
There is only one context in which I have, in passing regretted my transition. There are many situations in which I have been physically attacked, attacks that would have been taken seriously had I looked like a woman. I have never been a woman. I will never be a woman. There is no scenario in which anyone in their right mind would think that I am a woman.
I started testosterone when I was 16 on 09/12/2020. I started on the patches, when those were still available in the US. They were annoying. In the summer, they were harder to place in a spot where people wouldn't ask questions about it. One of the problems with those patches, is that they would make your skin red and irritated, which could be managed by moving the patch to different parts of the body. Maybe I was allergic to the adhesive, I don't know.
When I got top surgery, 02/07/2022, I requested that they didn't bother to reattach the nipples (see above section) and make me as flat as possible with some nice straight lines. I was asked by the surgeon to stop testosterone prior to surgery. This is an extremely outdated practice, there is no need to pause hormones prior to surgery. I have had other surgeries while under anesthesia, and there has never been a need to pause hormones.
I resumed the patches at some point before switching to the gel. I stopped using androgel back in the late summer of 2023. I checked the expiration date on the bottles, and made an appointment in fall of 2024 and ended up switching to subq. I've enjoyed the changes that have been made to my body.
In all honesty, I want more. There are more things that I will to to myself once I am able to do it.
If I never got rid of my tits, I would have looked like a victim when I had a miscarriage after being violently assaulted.
I have lost the ability to look like a victim
after traumatic events keep trying
to one up one another
one after the other
because
....
I just wanted to be happy.
