Hey again everyone.

I recently started testosterone, and I've been searching on google and in the tags in this community for websites and what have you that talk about the changes one goes through when taking testosterone. All I've been able to find is the short and simple sort of thing listing obvious things like voice deepening and fat redistribution. I was wondering if there was anything written that was more in-depth, like a diary sort of thing, or even something that has more than bullet points with the basics. I'm experiencing a lot of changes in the way I feel, think, and perceive things that are totally unexpected, and I'm interested in researching the general experience.

Thanks!

 Hi all,

After not really knowing where to come to to discuss my trans issues and experiences, I stumbled across this community. I decided that it can't hurt to make an account and learn more about myself and others, right?

Hmm, some information about me. Well, I'm 17 years old and have been on female hormones for a short while now. I don't really like to use labels such as 'mtf' to describe me because I don't really identify with them. I have no issue if someone does use those for themselves though. I have the support of my family and friends and my dysphoria has lessened since being able to start hormones. However, as it's not something I intend on telling new people I meet, I don't have many opportunities to openly discuss my situation.

Therefore I hope my presence is acceptable on this website and that I can finally find a place where I'm free of paranoia, worry and concerns. 

Hope anyone who reads this has a great week!

:)
