"but i see people transition and their whole personality changes! they become so much more calm and emotional!" girl that's called you're happy now, that's called you were feeling bad and now you're not
The scariest thing HRT does is make plushies appear on your bed randomly. Last night, I got scared because something moved in my bed, and it turned out to be a plushy duck that appeared out of nowhere.
@Nova-_- I need* a 24hr livestream of this NOW. I betcha this can/will happen... imma suggest it frequently until thenat least....haha srsly a few of the right eyes, no one unites like the trans community:D 🤷♀️ ✌️🫶
100% agree about the whole "HRT will change who you are" misconception. One big "change in my personality" is that i love to dance now, even if its just me, alone, jamming out in my room, aha. But as i love telling people - Its NOT because im a different person - its cos before my transition i felt like i was controlling a meat puppet and awkwardly moving its limbs in order to occupy a certain position. It didn't feel good. Now its MY body. It feels good to dance. HRT didn't change me, it changed my body to fit me.
its definitely a change of how people perceive you mostly. Gender is so wired into a lot of the populations mind that even that simple fact being visibly different is a huge change to how people may perceive you (and then say it changed who you are)
@@CassyCat4is this actually true ? I’ve been taking Spiro for a month now but I don’t really think I’ve started urinating more than before… should I be concerned ?
@pugie833 a joke grounded in reality, Unfortunately certain places its your only option but it was effecting my sleep as it starts to effect your water (and salt) retention. Best thing to do is hydrate with water regularly and keep a jar of pickles handy but if spyro works for you its without hydration and peeing problems its the best. I'm not a doctor though.
HRT made me a morning person. I was a morning person until I hit around 11, 12, 13 years of age. Two'ish decades of being a night owl staying up to 1 AM minimum and waking up ideally at 1PM and then suddenly in less than two months of HRT I'm waking up well before my alarm even on workdays, sometimes before the sun is up.
I have actually noticed this too, I have to stay up till midnight to take my hrt dose, and my next one is normally at 8am but I keep finding myself waking up at 6 or 7 before my 8am alarm goes off
@@sarahcivilization9905 This didn't help. So far it hurt, actually. I'm still part night owl so part of me wants to stay up until 2AM while the other part wants me to wake up at 7.
as far as the "being more present in the world, stopping and seeing the flowers" yeah that can happen. It's the same logic as what you say in the intimacy section immediately after this. It's the change in circumstances. You've taken off a lot of that dysphoria weight that's taking up your mind, and you're actually finally able to go about without that weight on your shoulders. and if you're not dissociating because of dysphoria so much.. you're gonna be much more aware of the world around you and from a perspective not *separate* from the body your'e in - because you're no longer trying to escape your body.
When starting hrt I felt the same way, I kinda really want to be in my body sometimes now... and I feel the need to distract myself from my thoughts much less
Today is my birthday (April 9th) and I wanted to say thank you for supporting me all this way with your ASMR's and your help validating me as a trans Girl. My name is Jaylen (She/Her). my most recent suicuide attempt from gender dysphoria was on November of 2022 and I was on a really dark time of my life, from your asmr audios I have now become better than I could have been and now the transphobic people from the past now don't seem like anything but a bad dream, I an now more calmer and am willing to trust the process of transitioning and accept the reality that not all forms of satisfaction will be instant. Transitioning is gonna be a long tough process and I do understand I will not have any support from family members if I do choose my path to transition I am now 17 years old and I'm only 1 year away from legally being able to start HRT in the state I live in and when I do, I'm gonna have to start making my own stories like this
@PsychicJaylen best of luck, and can't wait keep for these future video0os lol :3 so happy for you, sounds like you found some peace, keep it up, and ..🥲I'm really happy for you..🫶☮️
As a teenage trans girl who has non-supporting parents and still learning how to be a girl (I've only found out for about a year now), this video definitely helped me understand more of what to expect. Thank you! Btw you're so pretty! Literally trans goals >w
After all the people saying I'd regret it, the only thing I regret is not starting sooner, Your never to old to transition, never to old to be yourself!! Your valid and loved :3
I am gay, transitioned a long time ago. When younger trans women ask for help voice training, I recommend your videos. I found it interesting that you mentioned trans women having a difficult time understanding that they don't need to give up masculine hobbies when they transition. I had a difficult time understanding that I didn't have to be attracted to men. The more things change, the more they stay the same, I guess!
This. Speaking as a cis woman who is more at home with chainsaws and anglegrinders than makeup. Using a chainsaw is a womanly hobby because I'm a woman and it's one of my hobbies. Trans women shouldn't be forced to conform to the 1950s stereotypes of womanhood to be accepted as women any more than cis women would put up with that nonsense. Cis or trans, women and girls who enjoy that particular type of femininity are valid - and so are the rest of us who have other interests.
you describing early twenties as an early period to transition (because it is) makes me really happy that i was allowed to start a bit before I was 18 im always aware of how lucky I am but it still makes me happy thinking about how much time ive got ahead of me :)
Just because it's hard doesn't mean you can't do it!! It's not healthy to build imaginary walls around doing things, please don't stop yourself from being happy just because it'll be hard in the beginning.
i think weve all been thru this &like by all means stay in the closet if its for your own safety but if ure just waiting for the "right time" or for the anxiety to go away... its not going to and it might even get worse if u dont do something.. really recommend finding a gender therapist or something or maybe trying out the first steps of transitioning with a small group of people u trust. best of luck x
I really want to start transitioning but I don't know where to start at all. The anxiety of change still lingers with me because I always moved a lot with my parents. It's just large uncertainty that's scaring me. I really want to transition so bad thoughhh
I'm not Trans and don't have gender dysphoria but I wanted to say that hearing about people feeling better in their bodies and like their inner conflict is being resolved after HRT is making me feel better about my own inner stuff, if that makes sense. So thank you

@@IndigoWatercressoh… buddy… I feel for you completely. I went through the same thing. I can’t tell you how to live your life, all I can do is reach out a hand. If you’re feeling that really specific longing, it’s more likely than not that those feelings will get louder and louder until you can’t hear anything else. It doesn’t just go away. There is NOTHING that can truly stop you from being who you truly are, from letting her out. I feel silly writing this because you will probably never see this, but maybe someone will. You are not too old, too masculine, too ANYTHING to transition. I told myself the cruelest things for so long. I wish I had believed sooner because I am so much happier and look so much more like ME than I ever thought possible. Like Lucy said, its just a box, it’s not that scary, but the impact can change your life for the better. If you feel alone, and just want to talk to other people with similar feelings, the youtuber Leadhead has an amazing discord server, if you come, look for Lila. I will be waiting to welcome you 🩵🤍🩷
I felt the "more present in the world" thing after one of the first times I came out. The mental clarity from not having to think about my gender for a bit was the source me thinks.
i really appriciate the videos, im 13 myself and cant legally get hormones or blockers for quite some time and school for me is going to be rough but these videos give me hope tysm ! ❤
15:36 "I'm not a spectator to a movie, I'm inside of it" This is actually a _perfect_ way to describe it, I will definitely be stealing this in the future
Post top surgery I had a beautiful moment while jogging: I noticed all the flowers and butterflies around me. I'd been jogging in that area for ages and never really noticed them, not cared, but it took my breath away
That bit about feeling behind has been so prevalent for me, especially earlier this year. Since I’m in college it’s been hard dealing with twoberty, all the emotions came boiling up right after my dad died and right as the semester started. It made classes hard to bear, even forcing me out of class and decommissioning me for the rest of that day. I’m so so so lucky to have the friends I have here. My best friend always comes to comfort me, and has even put in perspective for me, me the one who has spent all her time watching all these videos about twoberty and about other people’s transitions and the struggles that come with it, and it took her, someone who knows very little about hrt in general to show me that what I’m going through is actually a lot more than I’ve been giving myself credit for.
As a non trans person I found this video to be really helpful in further explaining HRT. Also I adore your outfit as it looks so nice and radiates happyness.
The first time I injected estrogen I felt like a goddess. I felt high(not because of the hormones, just the euphoria I felt) and as I use hormones I experience glee more often, I feel happier because I don't have to worry about my body. I am already taking action about it and I'm proud of myself
Listening to this while being helped with homework lol. Don't tell my friends! But this helped me alot because I've been really scared to start HRT and I haven't yet. Now I might do it at some point. ❤❤ Thank you again for making these videos, They've helped me more than you could imagine
You are a my angel!! You have helped me so much through my transition. I just came out about two months ago so I’m definitely a baby but i have learned so much from you!!
The timing of this video is perfect because i recently scheduled my first appointment for later this month And today i had a dysphoria triggered dissociative episode and panic attack at work and have been trying to calm down all day and this helped
Thank you for the video, I discovered your videos the past few days at what feels like the perfect time. I've had varying levels of gender dysphoria about my gender/sexuality for the past few years now but I think I've finally decided that I'm a Trans Woman and as such am now actively pursuing transitioning (which involves me starting a silly fight with the British healthcare system which is good in that its free but bad in thats its still got a transphobic agenda being placed upon it by those meanies in Government). So this video about HRT is so helpful and has provided me with a lot more confidence about it in general! Also, I also think your videos are very neurodivergent-friendly! I'm Autistic and I find they're very relaxing and I never feel overwhelmed watching them even when you're discussing pretty heavy topics! So thank you from the bottom of my heart for your videos :)
I didn't transition until late 34 (around two years ago now), and it was the best thing i ever did for myself. Wish i had watched this video when i started HRT: it's wonderful
Emotions wise everything is super clear now. They are very easy to control and I know how to think through the anger and happiness. I'm colder and calmer and I like it that way.
This video was a delightful to listen too. Im 10 years into HRT so it was really fun for me to nod along. I even had a couple "ohhhhh" moments! Your videos are amazing and i really appreciate the time and energy you've put into them ❤
it might be, if you feel like doubt you can start on anti androgen first before esterogen, anti androgen make you less masculine, if you like it you can stay on only androgen, if you want to be more femme take on esterogen, and if you don't feel like it you can always go back
Watched this literally on my way to a local IKEA to track down a certain shark I've been wanting to aquire, and saw all the plushies in the background. Then I thought to myself "Is this my future?Sleeping under pile of plushies and blankets?" and promptly started walking faster towards IKEA.
If you're already emotionally sensitive and able to cry and show strong feelings, estrogen prolly won't affect your emotions much. The only reason people cry more on estrogen is because they're repressing less. Estrogen doesn't actually change your emotions, only your emotional responses.
@@PinkPanda-Zx when hrt you got rid of dysphoria, when no dysphoria you can show emotion better, when not man you don't need to pretend man, when no need to pretend man you no need to pretend tough, combined mean you don't need to repress emotion so you feel safe to cry
I'm 27 now and haven't started HRT yet, but I've come out to my mom and friends. And this framing of thinking of HRT as puberty is a little daunting, but also kind of exciting, my 1st time with puberty wasn't the best, so maybe now going through a 2nd puberty as a woman with the experience and maturity of being in my late 20s will make it a lot more manageable, and I genuinely can't wait to actually be able to feel my emotions without them feeling so muted, like they're stuck down a well and I'm just catching the echo of them 😔... Anyways really excited for everything that's in store for me 🥰 Btw I can confirm you look super cute, I was admiring your hair and style the entire video so when you mentioned it at the end I knew I had to tell you :3
Thank you! My son who i knew was gay has just told us that he is trans. He has the first appointment Thursday to start HRT. We are supportive of Her! Im here just wanting to learn how to help her.
in my case since I'm skinny naturally and gaining weight is pretty hard so I've started eating way more now (still pre hrt though), it'll be interesting how much i have to lessen on that. I'm just glad i have to eat less.. but then again thats kinda the thing, I know a lot of people have the opposite issue.
i'm almost 2 weeks into HRT and am waiting for all the good things, seeing this is a good thing to prepare for the wonderful things to come.thank you girl
Thanks for this! Coming up on half a year transitioning. It can be scary, but I lucked out with my support system. That’s the biggest advice I could give; surround yourself with people that will affirm you and your new identity. Makes a world of difference.
oh definitely on the temperature stuff, I DEFINITELY feel both the cold and the heat more... it did not help that the one summer I've had since starting HRT.. is the hottest summer on record. It already sucked more than ever at the *reasonably hot* temperatures... and then I spent one day out in the heat and it made me ill for a month.
What you said about noticing things and being more present (probably not saying that right) DEFINITELY applies to me. I feel so much better integrated with myself and with my life an with my body too. (On top of no longer having constant pounding headaches!)
I am at 7 months and so far so good but I started crying when it started to rain today. I am taking Spiro and yes its a sodium craving so pickles daily, just a pain opening those jars. Yes, I am feeling much more in touch with the world and nature, which definitely a part of my experience as well! In the before times I was just living on automatic and disengaged. Thanks girl for sharing your experiences and you're hilarious too btw! ;^)
I’m a new teacher. Being in the classroom can be hectic, stressful, and a little overwhelming at times. However, I work well under pressure, and remain calm, cool, and collected. I want to try E, but I’m worried that the changes it brings to how I experience emotions will impact my performance as a teacher in these critical early years when I’m trying to establish the career I’m going to spend the next 30 years doing.
If it helps, I started E DURING a prac teacher thing I was doing back when I was trying to become a Japanese teacher. It presented some challenges, but I was able to make it work and I feel I handled the prac teaching well. I believe In you
I'm three months late to the conversation, but if you haven't started yet, I'd suggest starting at the start of school holidays. It'll give you a bit of time to get used to how the changed hormone balance affects you before you have to ride that balance in public.
Hearing about what E can do makes me sooo excited, euphoric and also very happy. Thank you for the video, it definitely made my day. I hope I can get E soon.
@@God_of_Flame what about this makes you think "egg"? you people gotta stop just throwing that out there without having concrete evidence something is happening
Thank you for this. BTW, you look amazing, very cute. I'll be sure to check out some of your other vids. 51 and had my egg hatch on 3/20 of this year. So yeah, thanks for all you share.
Also one this I forgot to say: love the vibe! Of course don't feel pressured into using a camera for your videos, but it's just so nice seeibg a face to the voice and getting an idea of what's possible
Thank you! Especially for the bit about changes to water temperature sensitivity in different areas. I’m on day 24 of HRT and day 161 of no alcohol (and have lost some weight due to cutting out that daily pack of beer) and I have noticeably less tolerance to cold overall but I haven’t been swimming yet. I would’ve been in for a shock! 🥶
CIS guy here - Have a trans girlfriend (she is so wonderful ) and your videos have been so useful during my education in helping educate myself on things on trans experiences when we first started dating and continued learning. thank you.
Hiya just found this video and the whole "emotional" points are so good i just started the notorious HRT and while i feel much happier overall but normal times where i was like just dping normal things i would do before and i wasnt doimg well i would just be able to shrug it off now it eats at me and i want tp cry every time I do it its so refreshing to hear that thats mostly normal.
I loved the way you explained everything! It is really just a box lol. I liked this part 13:1313:3713:43 LMAOO it just made me contagiously giggle, I love your outfit it’s very cute. I like the casual enormous plushie pile too LMAOO. This was such a great video. Whenever I watch one of your videos it makes me 20x calmer. You are like the transfem uncle Iroh.
"but i see people transition and their whole personality changes! they become so much more calm and emotional!" girl that's called you're happy now, that's called you were feeling bad and now you're not
wait people are normally just calm and not on the edge of a breakdown at any given time?
@@CrystalBlaese wait what? really?

@@dinamosflams I honestly can't imagine what this must feel like. Let's hope I get a decent therapist so insurance can pay for hormones and surgery.
The emotions can definitely be overwhelming if you're not used to them.

Since transitioning, I actually love my room being toasty now. Like 75-78 fahrenheit big cozy range. And I'm perpetually cold in winter

If you know that it’s for you, do it. You’ll never escape if you don’t try.
its not something that happens or has to happen all at once. remember that if you choose to transition you can take it as slow as you want/need to
@@wiisports3230 here's how it is in my head: fear of change is greater than dysphoria and thats it
i felt behind before starting my transition, i finally think i can bear feeling behind while actually being myself c:
Patches are also so easy. You just apply them every three days and forget about it.
my sense of time is so terrible that i would forget about it for too long
From my experience they always fell out. Ended up switching to tablets
Personally I went with tablets since I already take daily pills so it was easy for me to just add another pill.
Easier than the funny pill??
Patches can't be that easy if the valve corporation can't give their games patches

I can’t tell you how to live your life, all I can do is reach out a hand. If you’re feeling that really specific longing, it’s more likely than not that those feelings will get louder and louder until you can’t hear anything else. It doesn’t just go away. There is NOTHING that can truly stop you from being who you truly are, from letting her out. I feel silly writing this because you will probably never see this, but maybe someone will. You are not too old, too masculine, too ANYTHING to transition. I told myself the cruelest things for so long. I wish I had believed sooner because I am so much happier and look so much more like ME than I ever thought possible. Like Lucy said, its just a box, it’s not that scary, but the impact can change your life for the better.
If you feel alone, and just want to talk to other people with similar feelings, the youtuber Leadhead has an amazing discord server, if you come, look for Lila. I will be waiting to welcome you 🩵🤍🩷
I felt the "more present in the world" thing after one of the first times I came out. The mental clarity from not having to think about my gender for a bit was the source me thinks.
i really appriciate the videos, im 13 myself and cant legally get hormones or blockers for quite some time and school for me is going to be rough but these videos give me hope tysm ! ❤
15:36 "I'm not a spectator to a movie, I'm inside of it"
This is actually a _perfect_ way to describe it, I will definitely be stealing this in the future
Post top surgery I had a beautiful moment while jogging: I noticed all the flowers and butterflies around me. I'd been jogging in that area for ages and never really noticed them, not cared, but it took my breath away
That bit about feeling behind has been so prevalent for me, especially earlier this year. Since I’m in college it’s been hard dealing with twoberty, all the emotions came boiling up right after my dad died and right as the semester started. It made classes hard to bear, even forcing me out of class and decommissioning me for the rest of that day. I’m so so so lucky to have the friends I have here. My best friend always comes to comfort me, and has even put in perspective for me, me the one who has spent all her time watching all these videos about twoberty and about other people’s transitions and the struggles that come with it, and it took her, someone who knows very little about hrt in general to show me that what I’m going through is actually a lot more than I’ve been giving myself credit for.
As a non trans person I found this video to be really helpful in further explaining HRT. Also I adore your outfit as it looks so nice and radiates happyness.
As a Cis man channels like this one help me stay informed and become a better Ally.

The first time I injected estrogen I felt like a goddess. I felt high(not because of the hormones, just the euphoria I felt) and as I use hormones I experience glee more often, I feel happier because I don't have to worry about my body. I am already taking action about it and I'm proud of myself
Listening to this while being helped with homework lol. Don't tell my friends! But this helped me alot because I've been really scared to start HRT and I haven't yet. Now I might do it at some point. ❤❤ Thank you again for making these videos, They've helped me more than you could imagine
Hope you make the right choice for you!
You are a my angel!! You have helped me so much through my transition. I just came out about two months ago so I’m definitely a baby but i have learned so much from you!!
The timing of this video is perfect because i recently scheduled my first appointment for later this month
And today i had a dysphoria triggered dissociative episode and panic attack at work and have been trying to calm down all day and this helped
I loved this video format, especially seeing you talk, it feels ... cosy I guess ? Thanks for your videos
Thank you for the video, I discovered your videos the past few days at what feels like the perfect time. I've had varying levels of gender dysphoria about my gender/sexuality for the past few years now but I think I've finally decided that I'm a Trans Woman and as such am now actively pursuing transitioning (which involves me starting a silly fight with the British healthcare system which is good in that its free but bad in thats its still got a transphobic agenda being placed upon it by those meanies in Government). So this video about HRT is so helpful and has provided me with a lot more confidence about it in general!
Also, I also think your videos are very neurodivergent-friendly! I'm Autistic and I find they're very relaxing and I never feel overwhelmed watching them even when you're discussing pretty heavy topics! So thank you from the bottom of my heart for your videos :)
I'm happy the videos are accessible to neurodivergent communities
I didn't transition until late 34 (around two years ago now), and it was the best thing i ever did for myself. Wish i had watched this video when i started HRT: it's wonderful
I love your room and you look so pretty! Thanks for making this video
Emotions wise everything is super clear now. They are very easy to control and I know how to think through the anger and happiness. I'm colder and calmer and I like it that way.
why am I actually considering this now I thought I was just kidding myself.
This video was a delightful to listen too. Im 10 years into HRT so it was really fun for me to nod along. I even had a couple "ohhhhh" moments!
Your videos are amazing and i really appreciate the time and energy you've put into them ❤
I suppose...hrt might be the only path to feel human again.
it might be, if you feel like doubt you can start on anti androgen first before esterogen, anti androgen make you less masculine, if you like it you can stay on only androgen, if you want to be more femme take on esterogen, and if you don't feel like it you can always go back
Omg! Love your outfit and room!! ❤
me going to pick up the hormone pills at the puberty store
I thought that i researched the hell out of this but like... I've only heard around half or these, crazy
Secret Little Haven background music SLAPS :3
Watched this literally on my way to a local IKEA to track down a certain shark I've been wanting to aquire, and saw all the plushies in the background. Then I thought to myself "Is this my future?Sleeping under pile of plushies and blankets?" and promptly started walking faster towards IKEA.
Thanks so much for the awesome video!
Good luck and happy birthday.
Congrats! Good luck coming out, whenever you decide to do that
Happy birthday.
hbd&glhf!
@@ms.aelanwyr.ilaicos what on earth do these mean
My chest is already sensitive, I already get serious butterflies, and I already tear up during my favorite rock operas.
Estrogen is gonna be WILD
I (hopefully) start in a month and I'm already emotional and I'm like,, a tad worried but also it's gonna be for the better I hope 😭
If you're already emotionally sensitive and able to cry and show strong feelings, estrogen prolly won't affect your emotions much.
The only reason people cry more on estrogen is because they're repressing less.
Estrogen doesn't actually change your emotions, only your emotional responses.
@@Snoodle829 What do you mean by emotional responses? Just curious since I'm considering going on estro.
@@PinkPanda-Zx when hrt you got rid of dysphoria, when no dysphoria you can show emotion better, when not man you don't need to pretend man, when no need to pretend man you no need to pretend tough, combined mean you don't need to repress emotion so you feel safe to cry
I'm 27 now and haven't started HRT yet, but I've come out to my mom and friends. And this framing of thinking of HRT as puberty is a little daunting, but also kind of exciting, my 1st time with puberty wasn't the best, so maybe now going through a 2nd puberty as a woman with the experience and maturity of being in my late 20s will make it a lot more manageable, and I genuinely can't wait to actually be able to feel my emotions without them feeling so muted, like they're stuck down a well and I'm just catching the echo of them 😔... Anyways really excited for everything that's in store for me 🥰
Btw I can confirm you look super cute, I was admiring your hair and style the entire video so when you mentioned it at the end I knew I had to tell you :3
Cool person on camera and explaining something I'm interested in. I'll watch this more than one 😊
YOUR VOICE IS SO PRETTY ONG ;0; and also thanks for this calm video
*vibes to the music*
my ears perked up like a cat when i heard that secret little haven music LOL
This is so well said! The information comes off so naturally!
GRAHHH VOICE GOALS !!!! (demigirl)
(good video by the way!! Thank you :3)
Thank you! My son who i knew was gay has just told us that he is trans. He has the first appointment Thursday to start HRT. We are supportive of Her! Im here just wanting to learn how to help her.
Wish someone told me I couldn’t eat as much. I tried to eat the usual amount… and then blehhhh… took a few times to realize i was over eating lol
relatable, this info should be more widely known honestly
This is gonna be the worst thing
yeah... I've gotten a bigger appetite since starting E but if I eat too much I really suffer sometimes.
in my case since I'm skinny naturally and gaining weight is pretty hard so I've started eating way more now (still pre hrt though), it'll be interesting how much i have to lessen on that. I'm just glad i have to eat less.. but then again thats kinda the thing, I know a lot of people have the opposite issue.
@@Chillwave6 I'm pretty much the same
i'm almost 2 weeks into HRT and am waiting for all the good things, seeing this is a good thing to prepare for the wonderful things to come.thank you girl
been on hrt for like 6 months why am i watching this
good stuff tho all very true :3
Great video! I love your helpful calm kind nerdy demeanor, and I hope you'll continue sharing yourself with the world, cuz you're awesome!
Thanks for this! Coming up on half a year transitioning. It can be scary, but I lucked out with my support system. That’s the biggest advice I could give; surround yourself with people that will affirm you and your new identity. Makes a world of difference.
oh definitely on the temperature stuff, I DEFINITELY feel both the cold and the heat more... it did not help that the one summer I've had since starting HRT.. is the hottest summer on record. It already sucked more than ever at the *reasonably hot* temperatures... and then I spent one day out in the heat and it made me ill for a month.
Thank you Lucy for your calming reassurance. Really helpful information ❤
Loved the face came! And I always love these videos. Its a nice little chill talk.
epic W facecam vid
Indeed
On cap God.
The pickles statement is me fr ❤️🥒
i'm starting hrt in the other direction (t) soon and i can't wait. amazing voice btw.
I hope it's everything you hope it will be 🫶🏻
What you said about noticing things and being more present (probably not saying that right) DEFINITELY applies to me. I feel so much better integrated with myself and with my life an with my body too. (On top of no longer having constant pounding headaches!)
I was just about to make my comment be about how nice your hair looked! Everything about your hair in this video is so cute!!
I'll happily make a video about hair
I second this, I was gonna leave a very similar comment😅
Your hair is so pretty I'm gonna die🥺
God, I can't wait until I can have HRT. It sounds so exiting and fun and so EUPHORIC...............
me too…
;w;
Personally for me It doesn't.
but that's just because I'm a cis Guy
@AldinRamic what is even the point of commenting this?
@@Snoodle829 I guess I just wanted to get my thoughts out
@@Snoodle829 Engaygement
I am at 7 months and so far so good but I started crying when it started to rain today. I am taking Spiro and yes its a sodium craving so pickles daily, just a pain opening those jars. Yes, I am feeling much more in touch with the world and nature, which definitely a part of my experience as well! In the before times I was just living on automatic and disengaged. Thanks girl for sharing your experiences and you're hilarious too btw! ;^)
glad you enjoyed! maybe we need to like gather trans guys to help the trans girls open pickle jars haha
@@fairyprincesslucy One did kiss me the other day and from my experiences they do know how to treat a lady.
I’m a new teacher. Being in the classroom can be hectic, stressful, and a little overwhelming at times. However, I work well under pressure, and remain calm, cool, and collected.
I want to try E, but I’m worried that the changes it brings to how I experience emotions will impact my performance as a teacher in these critical early years when I’m trying to establish the career I’m going to spend the next 30 years doing.
If it helps, I started E DURING a prac teacher thing I was doing back when I was trying to become a Japanese teacher. It presented some challenges, but I was able to make it work and I feel I handled the prac teaching well. I believe In you
@@fairyprincesslucythat’s actually so encouraging, thank you so much!! 🥺🥺🥺
I'm three months late to the conversation, but if you haven't started yet, I'd suggest starting at the start of school holidays. It'll give you a bit of time to get used to how the changed hormone balance affects you before you have to ride that balance in public.
your plushies are so cute omg
goals omg
"Hey bb! New gender goals just dropped!"
not interested in hrt myself, but keep up the good work :D
also youre [respectfully] cute
I love your videos! Thanks so much for all you do! ❤
Hearing about what E can do makes me sooo excited, euphoric and also very happy. Thank you for the video, it definitely made my day. I hope I can get E soon.
lowkey not even trans but those videos are one of a kind, what a banger to put those on background, real shit frfr.
egg
@@God_of_Flame what about this makes you think "egg"?
you people gotta stop just throwing that out there without having concrete evidence something is happening
@Megaraptor250 Can't a cis guy enjoy HRT now(if this is what this comment is about)? Like, I'm cis(I suppose?) and I, too, want HRT
@@artemisfaul3445 egg
Thank you for this. BTW, you look amazing, very cute. I'll be sure to check out some of your other vids. 51 and had my egg hatch on 3/20 of this year. So yeah, thanks for all you share.
Thank you for this video 😇 it gave me a lot to look forward to when I start HRT 😇
Stay valid 👽 and know you're hydrated 😭
💜
Non Binary here, definitely make more of this plsssss
the receptions been really good so I will!
Also one this I forgot to say: love the vibe!
Of course don't feel pressured into using a camera for your videos, but it's just so nice seeibg a face to the voice and getting an idea of what's possible
Thank you! Especially for the bit about changes to water temperature sensitivity in different areas. I’m on day 24 of HRT and day 161 of no alcohol (and have lost some weight due to cutting out that daily pack of beer) and I have noticeably less tolerance to cold overall but I haven’t been swimming yet. I would’ve been in for a shock! 🥶
this video really helped make me feel better and more hopeful about my transition thank you for making it
you always make the best vids, I would like to see more of it ^^
I was watching this shortly pre-hrt, looking back on the last almost 6 months is fun 😊
I'm a week into HRT, I enjoyed this, got insight into what's ahead! Thanks, so much!❤
love this type of video
CIS guy here - Have a trans girlfriend (she is so wonderful ) and your videos have been so useful during my education in helping educate myself on things on trans experiences when we first started dating and continued learning. thank you.
I just began Estradiol (2 mg a day) this week so this is good timing! :3
Hiya just found this video and the whole "emotional" points are so good i just started the notorious HRT and while i feel much happier overall but normal times where i was like just dping normal things i would do before and i wasnt doimg well i would just be able to shrug it off now it eats at me and i want tp cry every time I do it its so refreshing to hear that thats mostly normal.
Not only do I appreciate your prospective and advice but I could listen to you talk all day 💕
Very insightful, thank you! Also, wow, you unlocked a core memory with the Pangya song, I had no idea I even remembered that one lol
I loved the way you explained everything! It is really just a box lol. I liked this part 13:13 13:37 13:43 LMAOO it just made me contagiously giggle, I love your outfit it’s very cute. I like the casual enormous plushie pile too LMAOO. This was such a great video.
Whenever I watch one of your videos it makes me 20x calmer. You are like the transfem uncle Iroh.
transfem uncle iroh is an honor hahaha I'm glad I can bring calm vibes to trans people
