So I transitioned late in life. When I made the decision to do so, I didn’t want to wait any longer, so I ordered DIY in the mail and got it within a little over a week and starting injecting. Historically I have a strong fear of needles, but I forced myself to overcome it for this, and honestly it wasn’t that difficult, the changes have been fantastic. My mood has improved dramatically, I no longer have strong body odor, my skin has more glow to it, and overall I feel younger and happier than I ever did before.
A few weeks in I did start getting strong boob pain, followed by some noticeable boob growth. Other than that, being on HRT has more or less helped to turn my life around, and I would absolutely recommend anyone thinking about it to try it out.
i'm just sitting on my DIY right now partly out of fear partly because my insurance finally gets slightly less shit next year and i want to make sure everything is all good before i throw off my equilibrium
i find it hilarious how i've done this massive array of experimental gray market substances, some even barely used by humans and this is the thing i'm obsessively preparing for and pushing back
as an older trans i really hope i get a little bit of this elixir of youth because middle aging in a male body is so fucking gross
lmao
Dammit I was half awake when I typed that out on my phone and made a bunch of errors. Fixed.
