For those seeking anecdotal evidence on slow, lower dosage transition models, I can report a few of my experiences these last few months, as I approach my first birthday.
Breasts are tender all the time, sometimes painfully sore, they are in the way. Whenever I cross my arms, they are with me, two happy grifters, lol. I love them. When my dosage goes up at my year anniversary, I wonder how they will react.
The emotional cognitive changes are so profoundly positive. These changes are what I signed up for, which so far manifest as a strong desire for community, relationships, and authenticity.
My lips are bigger, my face softening into its new feminine wisdom.
My sex drive bottomed out between months 9 and 10. Happy to say it has returned, and my sexual response cycle is different. I enjoy it.
My weight has leveled, since about month 10. Trying to maintain current healthy lifestyle.
I’m out to more and more people. I go out as my true self more and more. I do not pass. It does not matter.
I have some new work up, a poem for trans folx, up at Susurrus, and a poem about horses up at Feral.
