I've been taking testosterone for about 10 months now. I took my first shot Dec. 9th 2024 and have taken 43 weekly injections since then. I chose to do this because I thought it would be something that would improve my life so I don't know why I'm surprised it actually did. Feeling your body beginning to change into something that feels so much more correct in ways that are hard to articulate is ................... hard to articulate. But it's been just great! Every side effect has been nothing but positive for me. I've never felt like more of a real person before.
As a trans person who was always kind of off, I really never felt in control of my body. I think the first thing that made me well and truly realize I can do things to change that was when I got my first tattoo when I was 19 (that was 4, almost 5 years ago..!). It was a great feeling and definitely the leading force behind getting a few more tattoos and a couple piercings. Being on T has been giving me that feeling every day. Crazy how that happens
I do plan on getting another piercing sooner rather than later. I know who's doing my next tattoo and what I'll be getting but it's just a matter of timing and scheduling now >.> Body modification rules. I endorse it.

I really have you to thank for inspiring me to take more control of my body and helping me realize it Can be something that actively work towards… and also corrupting me and making me want piercings and tats and dot dot dot
I couldn’t be happier to have someone like you to go on this HRT journey with me
