Photo Documentation: 1 Year

Well, it hasn't been 1 year yet - technically. It will be 1 year on December 11th. Close enough!

Onwards.

1 Year on Testosterone Cypionate, 100mg every 2 weeks

Stomach (hair growth + fat redistribution):


Definitely more fat distribution to my tummy. I shaved it recently for fun, but the hair has grown back and seems to be getting thicker every week!

Leg (hair growth + muscle development)



Knee moisturizer is in order. Also - more hair! Woo!

    Mel, you look fabulous!

    Can I ask how long it took your monthly cycle to stop on 100mg every two weeks? I am taking almost double that, approx 90 mg a week (hard to measure but it's half of one line on the syringe less than 100 bcz my levels were high) I may want to ask my Dr to decrease more, but I'm afraid of the monthly beast coming back. I only got it once after starting T and I like not having to deal with that bs.

    I'll be posting some pics on my blog next week. more before and after comparisons. Stay tuned!

    BTW your acne is pretty mild. I'm just starting to break out on my face a bit, but for months I've been breaking out alot on my back/chest/shoulders and it's pretty bad. Do you have body acne as well?

    Thanks, Jess!

    I dug back in my blog a bit via the "menstrual cycle" label and it looks like my last semblance of a period was on February 27th, and I had my first injection on December 11th. So about 3 months.

    With acne, YES I do have it on my shoulders, back, and some on my chest. I've also been getting acne on my neck, which I hadn't experienced before. It's not too awful - I know there's acne back there, but they're not painful boils or anything. I have an acne body wash I use in the shower with an exfoliating scrub that helps, and I use a little bit of benzoyle peroxide every other day.

    I'm excited for your pictures!

Photo Documentation: 90 Days

I figured it was about time to do another pained and unflattering photo documentation. This cursed camera my parents gave me for Christmas. So yesterday, March 10th, marked 90 Days on Testosterone Cypionate . I also did a voice check, which I'll upload and post tomorrow. 90 Days on Testosterone Cypionate, 100mg every 2 weeks ( Click on images for larger, even less flattering versions - I'd prefer if you didn't, but the option does exist. ) Stomach (hair growth + fat redistribution): Getting some hardcore belly action where my body fat is most definitely redistributing. Ho ho ho. In addition, it's getting a tad bit hairier, which is demonstrated more clearly in the belly action shot below. Ooooh yeah, there we go. Look at therm li'l hairs! Still not enough to satisfy my cute Russian female friend, but getting there. One day. Eventually. Putt putt putt. Leg (hair growth + muscle development) A bit hairier. No difference in muscle tone that I'...

Gender Pronouns & My Grams

Gender pronouns. What a mixed bag of predicament, that one. I've thought about this quite a bit, especially now that I'm transitioning and facing new, not entirely anticipated social pressures orienting around binary gender - both within the trans community and outside of it, which I'll ramble on aboot in a later post. For now, I'll try to stick to the nitty gritty of answering, " What pronouns do I prefer, and why? " Back in January I posted, "I'm noticing that people are just too confused by it, default on 'she', and it's exhausting to constantly explain genderqueer or how my transition is separate from my gender identity. I'm finding that I'm in a position where it's easier to just use language most people can understand, like "female-to-male", for example. Given the options 'he' or 'she', I feel much more comfortable with 'he'. So, at group yesterday, I said, "I'm starting ...
