My mum keeps calling me a boy cause I don't shave and shit like that. Little does she know that when I'm ready, I'm gonna come out as trans (ftm) to her.
Uncreative Child good luck! You'll feel so much better when you tell her
How did it go?
Ellie Lopez have you told her?
same here lmao, mama's got a big storm coming
How did it go?
I've been on T for over a year and I still freak out a little when I have cramps now and then cuz I'm so worried Shark Week is returning.
Mine stopped the next month (I started T in the middle of shark week). Some guys have it stop right away. Some say they'll have a lighter shark week a few times before it goes away. And for some it takes a few months. It really isn't a for sure answer.
ohhh, i love the name shark week. im remembering that one.
im calling it shark week from now on. end of story
Shark week sucks, I hate being female
Yep i just wanna rip out my fucking womb. Hopefully in the future I’ll get surgery
I already have a lot of body hair and im not on t yet and im kinda worried whats gonna happen when im on t
Me and you both will carry Harambes legacy with our body hair :D
Me three, I've got tons of hair in every place imaginable. I'm terrified of the idea.
I had the same fear, now Nair hair removal cream is my best friend.
same here, and im also scared of going bald when i get to start T
Don’t be too scared tho just check for male in your family more especially in your father side sometimes you just already got the hairs and it will slightly update. T just regulate the hormone so you get « male hairs » the texture may change just like hair tho
Ah, good old T. I've been on it for 27 years.
Second puberty: acne, and always horny.
When I first started out in 1988, I was put in a room full of MtFs. I had to quit for family obligations and when I returned to the gender clinic in 93, I was in a room of FtMs.

JonTanOsb Hey, I just wanted to say that this comment makes me really happy to see. I’m a much younger trans guy & it makes me feel good to see adults who have gone through the same things I’m going to do and thrived. Most of my trans friends are also young so I don’t often get an adult’s perspective, so thanks.
May I ask you a question.. Now after 27 how often do u take T? And if you were to stop, and had sex reassignment surgery and top surgery what would happen? Wouldn't you have spend your money for nothing if your body will naturally revert back?
@@lilsamantha1 I take a low dose, 1/2 cc, every two weeks. After six months, the changes from T do not revert.
Your body can't revert back after surgery and I would never, ever, want to go back.
God this makes me so happy to see.
I'm 16 and this makes me happy
I am a cisman, and losing my hair is also a big source of insecurity for me, so you are not alone.
Eh, youll get over it. Especially once you have a wife and kids, you won’t care at all anymore about losing your hair. Thats one of the great things about having a family is you don’t really have the option to be self centred anymore.
😂😂😂cis man 😂😂😂more like sissy man. Accept correction and try this, "I'm no cis, I'm damn straight."
@@goodmanwiseman303just because you have a family doesn't mean you won't be insecure
My grandma said my grandpa tried for YEARS to grow his hair out in his 40's and would get hella mad when nothing worked... Now fast forward a few decades and I still see him trying to grow his hair with "home remedies" on youtube
Have you looked at dutasteride, finesteride and minoxidil? They all worked wonders for my partner and can be prescribed by a nice GP or online pharmacist 😊
@@goodmanwiseman303not necessarily because most marriages end
"My buttcrack is now home to a small forest" I laughed wayyyyyy harder than i should
Same!
Dang, I'm already super sweaty and hairy, I'm not sure if I'm ready for what hormones are gonna do to me
shark lort Same.

i get super happy when i ride my bike and the wind makes my eyes tear up now because i miss being able to cry :(
Its ok bby :(
You can cry. I do and I've been on T for more than 4 years. I'm sure it's just a mental blockage due to being raised in a patriarch society where "men don't cry" and we want so badly to fit with the st picture of a man, enough to apply every "manly" characteristic to ourselves.
And yes, it can and often does happen subconsciously.
Not just another guy side effectsare different for everyone m8
I actually have been going through this side effect and I've been on T for a month and a half now. I have had serious trouble crying and it makes me happy he's been going through the same thing because I felt like maybe my emotions got fucking broken or something
I'm pretty sure I've heard that guys tear ducts are actually sized differently than women's. So it's not that anyone's emotions are out of whack, it could really just be a physiological difference.
I'm Intersex-t-M, and actually starting T today. Very excited about it! I have a maybe unusual perspective on this, since my intersex condition means that my body has naturally produced both high levels of androgens AND female hormones like estrogen and estradiol (in varying levels) throughout my life. So I got to go through a fun male-and-female puberty (EG: I already had the hair in weird places, low voice, beard, and also had breasts, but had to go onto estrogen supplementation to trigger menarche), and now in my late 30's I'm hitting (female) perimenopause and also going onto T at the same time (my natural T levels were dropping off, since it was being produced by my ovaries, which are winding down as I go into the perimenopause). So life could get fun here for a while!
This was commented 6 months ago, how are you now since being on T for a while I assume?
I relate to you, Im pre-t but starting hrt in a few months
Oh, yay! You're now a guinea pig and a lab rat! And you chose it.
Hey Jamie, I'm not sure if you already know this, but I'm just here to let you know that if you're having constant cramps (especially after years on T and without a hysto --that I really don't know if you've had or not but I'm guessing not) you should get that checked out.
(I'm getting a bit medical here, be warned) When your body starts getting testosterone and reducing the production of estrogen to feed the uterus, the organ starts to malfunction and many times it could lead to illnesses in the area. So if anything feels weird or wrong or if it hurts without it having to, it's important to check that everything is fine.
PS. I'm not a doctor, but I'm starting T soon and that's one of the things my endo has emphasized the most on.
Hey, thanks for the advice but the cramps are not that frequent at all, it's normal to have some level of cramps, but yes constantly would be bad. I will be getting everything checked out after I pass my 5 years on T mark, but just now nothing is giving me any cause for concern :)
I have endometriosis and am going to be getting a hysterectomy anyways so, if I start T and get a hysterectomy will these cramps be avoided?
@@okkelly6207I had a hysterectomy last week. I had constant daily cramping from fibroids and endometriosis, that’s all gone now.
The biggest thing I didn't know was the fact that my stomach hair would constantly get caught in my belt buckles and how much that bloody hurts! Haha.
Haha, that sounds painful! Luckily mine isn't long enough to get caught :P
Omg yes! That happens to me to!
im pre t and that happens to me too lmao
Glad you don't hide the TMI, it's sp important to know, and you're helping a lot of us guys prepare for what's up with our bodies, before having to go through the surprise and thinking we're just weird/gross when it's perfectly normal changes.
God made you the way you are for a reason. Why are you gonna screw with God's gift and choose to be a lab rat, guinea pig?
(sits on my bed fidgeting wanting to start taking the testosterone but im too young and i know my mum will say its a phase even though i've been wanting to change my gender for four years like D A M N)
A LOT of trans people know they are trans early on. You can prove to your mother it isnt a phase by standing by your claims and waiting for time to do what it does.
***** thank for the advice, i wish it would work though...my mum likes to get trans confused with drag, and i'm 100% sure she hates the lgbtq+ community....maybe my dad will accept it?.
YamiYugi Crumpets I know how that feels my mom’s parents think that I’m going through a phase wanting to be a guy. I been wanting to be a guy since I was a young kid. I’ll be 23 this year.
Yup, mom seems to think my dysphoria is caused by my depression??? Like??? C'mon
Hey, it’s been 4 years any luck?
i just got my prescription for T today so im rewatching every transition video for the thousandth time. man i cant wait to start in the next few days :)
Hey! How’s it been?
I wish I could just start already! Stupid insurance 😳
same!
Maddox Grey same
Maddox Grey same.
Willed Existence usually 100s of dollars.....
I’m 13 so I gotta wait forever. And I can’t go on hormone blockers because I started puberty at 10.
I thought it was cool that you talked about the smelling differences, because I experienced the SAME thing when I started Estro. I've always found girls sweat to have a very different scent, and was OVERJOYED to find myself producing that same smell. My body odor is dramatically more mild now as well, which is a huge blessing if I ever miss a shower.
Who else checked their elbow to see if you also had hair there?
I thought it was normal to have elbow hair. #themoreIknow
Elbow hair isnt normal ?
Me...cis female and yes have a bit of hair on elbows and toes, and fingers also 4 very black male hairs on my cheek that have to be plucked every month! Constantly plucking upper lip too....😫
I’m on T 5 days! Happily watching vids of folks who were just a little ahead of where I’m at. Thanks for sharing!
It's been 5 years. Are you still on T? What changed in 5 years
I’m not trans but I was questioning about a year ago, and now I love to watch these videos to understand trans people
Nice to hear, dude!
my skin is already super oily, im already pretty hairy, like hair on my toes and shit, and i already can't cry easily. i wonder if its going to be worse when i get on T.
My therapist is doing a referral to a gender therapist in Cardiff (I'm Welsh) so I can get testosterone aaaa
King Laurence congrats hope it goes well! Welcome to the physical sex(male physical sex) and all of the 'maleness' it brings HA!
kinglaurence your profile pic is beautiful, we stan daveed
As a female, this is offensive. God made you the way you are and it's a gift. Why you gonna mess with God's gift? Damn, as a raging Tom-boy growing up, I knew I'd never be able to be a man because God made me a woman. I am so thankful to be a woman at age 60, and I'm so thankful I never messed with God's gift.
I'm rewatching the T videos now that I have my T prescription, and will have my first T shot by the end of the week! Thanks so much for making videos about this stuff so I know how to prepare!
Hey Jamie - thanks so much for this video! you perfectly articulated my inability to cry after being on T. I thought maybe I was losing my mind. You're the best, keep up the great work!
Thank you for going in detail about this information! It will help bring more awareness to others who are thinking about medically transitioning and the side effects.
This is fascinating and humorous. You always throw a positive spin even on the grossest things. I'm only 3.5 mos on T and I found this very good information to have.
Hi Jamie :) It's wonderful to see the help you so honestly and freely give through your videos about the FTM journey. My name is Cheryl and I have a transgender son named Jordan. I only wish I had discovered channels like yours before my son came out to my husband and I. Sadly, while we accepted our son's male gender expression from a young age we ignorantly reconized it as us having a tomboy not a transgender child. It wasn't until he came out to us following a period of depression, a failed suicide attempt and a desperate attempt to conform to society's binary idea of female that we began to understand there are tomboys and their are just boys. Today my son is a healthy, happy 18 year old with two SRSs behind him. We fully support him and today know he is the happiest he has ever been. Along our journey I've come to realize that many parents aren't as accepting and either don't understand or even want to understand. It is for these individuals that I decided to publish our families very deep and personal story to discovering the son we never knew we had. Sometimes a parent can benefit from hearing from another parent when a child's own voice fails to get through. I hope you don't mind my sharing a link here to my book in case some of your followers could benefit from our story: www.amazon.com/Promised-Not-Tell-Raising-transgender/dp/0995180717 you can learn more about it here and please feel free to out to me if you have any questions or I can be of help to you personally in anyway.
Thank you for all that you do for the transgender community!
Warmest regards, Cheryl B. Evans (Author of I Promised Not to Tell: Raising a transgender child).
You are incredible for giving such insightful and helpful info. that everyone, trans or not, can learn and should know. Wish you all the best and look forward to watching the rest of your videos.
does that mean i won't cry anymore when i watch 'Harry potter and the halfblood prince' and dumbledore dies?
i love T
Harry potter! can we be friends? please.. Im a Slytherin and 17 years old female. ^•^ I also love anime and series. we can talk about anime, series, music or anything you want. Im from a different country. my english is not that good. maybe this helps me. and I can do exercise. just be RUclips friends can i?
Dobby gets me too…
Snape anyone?
Blackice Falcon sure! do you have kik or Instagram?
Unslaad Krosis not really, he was such an ass to Harry, and sure Harry reminded him of James who wasn't really nice to snape, but that's no reason to be such a fucknugget and to bully a 11 year old kid that already had a crappy childhood
Thank you for your honesty. Best of luck for your journey through this crazy life. ❤️
God I always hated that I cry more often than other guys. I look forward to going on T and erasing that problem.
I am a 6'4 250lbs bald man full of tattoos and muscles. I cry sometimes.. nothing wrong about that.. Being a man has nothing to do with loosing the ability to express your emotions.
Takes a real man to cry be proud
It easily swings the other way, so that you can be even sadder and more depressed ( and even suicidal ), than if you could cry.
And only when you are totally overwhelmed.
Dont to be too overeager to suppress your feelings post male-puberty. Its harder to un-suppress than it is to suppress.
Guys, I don't think he's wanting to get rid of the emotion of sadness, he just wants to stop crying so damn much. I completely sympathise, I cried when a stranger told me a story about his horses [THAT WERE STILL ALIVE, I WAS STANDING RIGHT NEXT TO THEM] and I felt like such a wimp for it.
Also, crying a lot fucking hurts. Like, physically -- my eyes STING when I cry, and it makes me cry even more.
T won't solve everything I hope you know. It takes a very specific stimulus to make me cry, partially because I've already made peace with the knowledge of everyone I love dying, and then again I guess around the time I turned 18 it stopped being a correlative response, and more like an emotional unicorn, usually to only appear under extreme duress or during suicidal episodes. :S
"When I started T I was borderline obsessive with learning"
Me too why do you think I'm watching your video LOL
Thank you so much for this video. I was really considering T on account of my voice and how I can't remember ever not wanting a beard. But this has brought to my attention some maybe less than ideal side effects. It's a really important video to have made. x
Great video and so great hearing about those things not so talked about!
Jammi, I watched this video a few years back. But now, I'm finally able to begin T. I got my first prescription a few days ago and I'm so thankful for these videos and people like you who keep me and others educated on things like this. I am so glad that I am able to transition now. And it's affordable for me, which is good.
i think im worried for the crying-
it sounds kinda strange but crying really helps with my anxiety. like at the end of the week i just let everything out in one huge burst and its really soothing and all.
Thank you, Jamie. You've answered a lot of questions for me. Thanks for sharing your video. 🙂🫠
So I'm a trans guy who's just recently changed my name and started identifying as male. It's only the second day of school and it's honestly the most terrifying thing. Any advice?
Be you!!! The real you that you've possibly kept hidden before. Don't ever explain yourself to anybody, you dont ask anybody to explain why they're heterosexual. Be happy and don't let anybody ever make you feel less than you are. Enjoy this new chapter of your life
#lgbtpride2016 #Manchesterpride2016.
Best of luck! Just be yourself I hope everything isn't too hard. May I ask what first name your identifying as??
confidence is key! make sure to have everything that you need and strut in there like the confident man you are!
TheElementFour If anybody asks rude questions "I THOUGHT YOU WERE (BIRTHNAME)" "HAVE YOU HAD T H E SURGERY" "BUT YOURE A GIRL, RIGHT?" just say "'no, but please don't ask that again" and walk away. saying something like "that's fucking rude i hate you" will most likely give them a bad impression on the trans ppl and nobody wants that
Just keep pushing through hun :) If anyone misgenderes you, correct them and move one. Itll be okay
The odor changes scare me because I have hyperhidrosis and i dont want it to worsen 🧍♀️
Love the amount of honesty in the video.
i admire your openness and honesty. amazingly helpful ❤
This is slowly but surely becoming my favourite channel
Love your videos! 🖤
Thank you!
Jammidodger My pleasure! 😊
T has made me a little baby if anything, I cry a whole bunch and my levels are perfect cx
i'm 8 months on t and i cry just as much as i used to, which is to say a lot, because i am super sensitive lol
i am kinda glad i don't have that side effect tho, i would miss crying.
also my whole family look like children; that is to say they are super short, have almost no body hair and a huge baby face. i have the luck that at least my voice is relatively deep, deeper than my dad, but i still look like a 12 year old and i am 19. Facial hair would help so much...
Hey Jamie I just wanted to tell you that you're awesome and you give good advice and i'm starting to take testosteron tomarow :D I'm so Happy and excited!
Damm it... sorry for writing the name wrong Jammi... i'm so used to write jamie because one of my classmates name is that... sorry
Hey, thank you :) That's awesome, congrats and all the best with the changes and everything! :D No need to apologise, my name is spelt Jamie :)
CONGRATS
i'm so happy for you! i really hope you can feel more comfortable when your body starts to change. xx much love to you
Thanks so much for this video, I'm glad to get some more to the point info on this, the people I've been watching so far kinda talk around the details and I'm like TELL ME WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO ME!!!
This is really helpful- thank you so much. I really, really want to start t as a trans-masc person (nonbinary... wondering if I'm actually a dude...) and tbh, the hairline thing really scares me. I already have... well, I have a huge forehead, and I'm already so self concious about it, and my hair is already suuuuper thin, so... oof. Probably gonna start anyways, but it's great that you included that- it's really good to know what can happen. Thank you so much, fam
I’ve been referenced to the gender clinic and I’m planning on starting T and getting top surgery as soon possible and this was unbelievably helpful tysm
Im not sure if you check comments on old videos but thanks so much for this youtube channel. I dont know anyone else whose trans and well it helps having some one talk about issues. I thought since im in my 30 id be to old. Such a depressing thought but im starting t tomorrow so happy. Thnx for this video.
1.5 years on T, watching these for the nostalgia. best transition wishes to all those wanting to start or already started T
bro i love how you explain things
“constipated tear ducts”
You actually made me laugh with your observations, and your experiences mirror those expressed by many of my transgender peers. Once you change your hormonal balance, you definitely have to learn to emote in a new way. Even worse, one you did not touch on, was being inundated with certain, ahem, adult urges once you go on T (of course, results do vary from one user to the next). Welcome to the Dark Side!!
cracks me up you talking about hair and spots turning up wherever. you've just reminded me of my teenage years haha.
Thanks, it really helps to understand and support someone i love
Idk if jammi or any of you know but if you're afraid to lose your hair, you can tell whoever is prescribing you testosterone and they can give you something to prevent it. Hope yall have a great day and take care. 🖤
It’s called finasteride, I don’t think they can prescribe it to trans men unless they have had a hysterectomy. There’s also minoxidil to stimulate the follicles, that’s available for everyone.
You're so awesome Jaimmi!
Thank you for making these videos! :D
Very interesting Jamie! 😊
I'm going to be starting T next year and i'm super excited about it!
I just recently started t and I definitely realized that my emotions changed. I used to cry a lot and I today noticed that same feeling. I also am growing so much hair and have a deeper voice. I am so relieved that finally I am on t and every day my dysphoria gets less and less.
hopefully I'll be starting T this year and I'm so excited!! Love yaa
I just found you today and I really like your videos! Also I love your eyes, they're amazing! :0 I also feel u on the hair thing, I was NOT expecting as much hair as I got, and I honestly am not totally sure what to do about it lol
This is a great video with some great facial expressions, 10/10
I'm so glad the cramping thing is not just happening to me! I've been on T for almost 2 years now (I'm 17) and I've had a few days of cramping and soreness once a month and I thought it was just in my head but I would always thing "this feels familiar" lol. I didn't know this was a normal thing thanks Jamie : )
I'm not trans (but I love these videos because I love to learn anything and everything) but I totally get the cramps!! I have an implant in my arm for birth control, and I don't bleed but the cramps are so bad and aren't regular. I'll be at the supermarket and get a really bad one and panic because I'm not sure if I'm going to bleed or not
Thanks for not leaving out the ewww parts, because they don't tell you this and I had no idea about 75 percent of this stuff.
I don't know if it's just me or if it was just the situation I was in but after starting t the opposite thing happened to me where I would feel like I was going to cry all the time for weeks. I would struggle not to cry. the urge would just constantly be there and that had not happened to me like that before. it's back to how it was pre-t by now (I'm almost 10 months on t) but it was worrying because I've only ever heard of it making you cry less?
This comment section is so comforting.
I'm absolutely terrified of my hair falling out 😟😟😟
Did it fall out for you?
just make sure you brush your hair and take care of your thyroid
I'm starting T in two days and I'm honestly kind of terrified (more so very very excited) but it's gonna be a new experience and I always get scared of new experiences. This video is like a nice comforting hug though, I feel more ready now.
Everything you experienced, apart from the last symptom (I have no experience), I experience as a cis-gendered male. I guess I've never really considered how testosterone affects people on such a micro level.
Really glad to know I’m not alone on the cramps. Been having a pretty bad tonight can’t even sleep. 😰
This really helped, I'm planning on taking T in a year or so, so thanks for the info!^^
You are awesome. You are hilarious. I am so glad that you are in the world.
Not being able to cry is definitely a thing! I was skeptical that "women cry easily" but I have certainly experienced the change myself and that saying might actually be somewhat true
The butt hair. Is just. Oh my god I have so much of it. Another thing for me, is horrible backne. Just awful acne on my back. Awful. I'm coming up on four years in about 3 weeks, and I think it's stopped. But now I have scars, which I don't mind. I had PERFECT skin before so bummer. And the hairline thing, I think if you don't lose it within 2 years, and it settles nicely into a "male pattern". You won't lose it. Again four years on t, and I think my hairline has settled properly. I don't see it falling out. Your hair looks great. I wouldn't worry. Take care!
I was having the cramps like you talked about and I told my doctor and he suggested I get a hysterectomy, which I did last week, and that's supposed to stop that. It makes sense it would stop it, too, since it removes all those parts inside that cause the cramps. I'm mostly healed but not enough to say if that's true yet lol
correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the "monthly pain" is the internal bits (uterus / whomb n so on) shrinking, which is why it's a necessity at some point to be spey "hysterectomy"
I'm starting T next week, so excited!!!
Your videos are helping me a lot.
my endocrinologist actually told me that most people experience hair loss to some extent in the beginning of starting T but that isn't necessarily the receding hair line and just has to do with hormonal imbalance and won't have any effects. obviously later the receding hairline can definitely be a thing, just thought i'd put this out there because i haven't really seen people talk about it
thanks for mentioning the crying though cause I often have wondered if other guys experience that.. sometimes I feel like I need to cry and it just won't happen.. like a death in the family or break up.. still no tears!
It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who was caught by surprise on all of that. Everything you said, I've experienced the same. Except my hairline... I think my hairline is ok for now. I've only been on T for a year.
I'm starting T in November, thank you for this video!
I’m really young still and doing research on T. This really helps. Thanks :D
Like if you saw him on Buzzfeed
Rhoda Celorio buzzfeed is cancer. But this guy looks like he's a nice boy. Stumbled from a Stef Sanjati video
+Kevin “The Authority” Tan yess i love stef :D
Thankyou for being honest Jamie I'm pre T born female and I need to know as much as I can because I don't want to be compleatly and utterly diffrent I want my family to adjust as easy as possible while still looking like a guy.
started T yesterday ;) I'm an excited boy
Congrats, hope it all goes well! :)
jib hudson congrats! It's good to feel comfy in your own body. Kinda like how I feel when I get a new game or gadget ;D
+Jammidodger thank you and I appreciate you commenting back 😃😄
+Kevin “The Authority” Tan thank you 😃😄 gadgets are great cx
how's your journey so far?
I’m still kind of questioning but I think I might be trans and luckily I already have a bunch of sort of masculine features (may have pcos) and these videos are super helpful!
My doc went over changes that will and will likely occur when starting T. When we got to male pattern baldness I shared that I was already at peace with the fact that I was probably going to go bald. Doc was surprised and asked why I was so sure. Both of my brothers hardly have any hair and they aren't even 30 yet (both older than me). I'm only concerned about smell (always paranoid about smelling bad). Still waiting on the start of changes though. Also concerned about parent reactions, they haven't come to terms yet so I worry they will negatively react to having started hormones.
I didn't know about the receding hairline, but since my body naturally overproduced T during my teenage years maybe I'll get lucky and not have to worry about that for a while. Thanks for sharing!
just wanted to say that you look awesome jamie, if it wasn't for the fact that this channel is about you being trans, i would have never guessed that you were born in a female body.
I'm Ftm and haven't started T yet, but the hairloss has always been a worry, not exactly because I was worried about going bald but because I was worried about it being MY decision to do it, and if I do go bald I worry I'd blame myself. But funnily enough, despite still being a teenager I'm actually already balding and getting thinner hair naturally. Normally this would be an unfortunate situation and if I weren't trans it would likely make me really insecure, but I'm actually a little relieved cause it means no matter if I take T or not I'd likely be balding more in my 20's anyway and I don't see it as being 'my fault' anymore. So the choice now isn't be balding vs have full hair, it's be balding as a woman or be balding as a man, and the choice I want to make is a lot more obvious here.
Yep. cisgender straight male here, I have ZERO chest hair, or back hair but a considerable belly button / happy trail and I have a hairy ass crack but not on the cheeks , and my legs are more hairy than a Greek Olive Farm Mogul. Oh and zero hair on the arms , so no hair at all from above the belly button to my neck (armpits are hairy of course) I find it interesting how male hair placement varies so so much.
I'm starting T super soon and I'm reallyyy worried about the hairloss and acne gain hhhhh but anyway thanks for talking about those changes, now I know for sure what to expect orz
Very informative! As PreT I have all these joys to look forward to
Jamie! Cool beard trim. I never realized you have a mole or freckle beside your lip.. it always just irritates me that you don't trim your mustache over there, because it appears like there is hair growing in one side and not the other. Hahahaha how funny I thought that. Well done! Now I can tell the difference. Like the beard trim!
This was really helpful thank you
Love your videos - Im trans male hoping to start T when this Covid is over and hoping that my mum will let me and my thyroid problem... Have very very bad Disforia that some times i cant take it anymore. at 11 years (when i was straight) been trying to get muscles my whole life & couldnt understand why they never got big. Found out recently that's its all down to hormones which i find stupid and unfair. 3 years ago been fighting with my self trying to figure out whats wrong with with me why i wasnt happy being in a girls body... 2 years dressed as a man & now my whole family know & a few friends. About your video its very good (well they all are very informing). I have no problem with the hair all over the body im already like that been since puberty even have the side of my face with dark hair & now getting some one my chin (didnt start T yet) hair on bum, back, legs covered , chest, stomach... The hair loss on my head worries me but will start using DHT shampoo & i have very think head of hair, and when i was younger when i was Les my doctor found out i have alot of male hormones in me and long story short gave me steroids to make them back to normal & i put on a lot of weight. So now im angry at my doctor for what he did that he removed for me and that i put on about 15 kg plus... Trying everything to get them back & more, guess i will mind spots but more gaining weight will but me on T but exercise im hoping will stop that. Smelling i already do in away smell & sweat like a man and over heat plus crying i have no problem at all. I dont cry at all the only time i cried when pets died, ex dumped me & when my grand father died but i only started crying when i saw everyone else cry. Been since i was young that i dont cry that for me its showing that your weak & i also dont hug my mum because i dont wanna start crying or show weakness... What i want from T is big Muscles, a beard & a deep voice. and then to remove my stupid boobs, i always hated them even when i was when they move. Really just wish i could get cancer so i can remove them for sure. All these reasons is why i think i was REALLY born in the wrong body!
On a side note to the quantity of hair and locations of its growth comes the amount of shed hair that happens too. Like seriously bathroom just ends up covered in hair. (Unless that's just me... Then that's awkward...) I swear every "changes on T" vid I've watched the only mention of hair is butt hair haha, no others exist it seems
Awesome video!
