7 Years On Testosterone | Physical & Emotional Changes
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ส.ค. 2024
- Discussing the physical and emotional changes at 7 years on testosterone. I began taking testosterone, using Nebido via injections every ten weeks, in April 2013 as part of my gender transition from female to male. As a transgender man who started transition later in life, the physical changes on testosterone are now mixed in with my aging process. And, at 7 years on testosterone, the physical changes have become more subtle. It the emotional changes that remain the most significant in my gender transition, as my gender dysphoria decreases and I become increasingly more comfortable and confident in my true male gender identity

I am 39 and I am just starting Testosterone. I am happy someone over 30 is making videos on this topic as most are teenagers. I hope my journey goes on by fast. 😀
There are a fair few of us older folks about! Welcome to the journey! Enjoy it, dont wish it away, this is your time to have your proper puberty!
If I had never watched your vids before I would be hooked already, I think the quote goes"you had me at prick in the bum" 🤣🤣🤣
Hahahahaha! Thank you superstar! x x x
Here I was giggling at your silliness and then you made me cry...how rude! 😉 My nephew has just started T and his journey,finally he will be his true self ❤ Thank you for your vids,they make such a difference xxx
Haha! Sorry about that! Wasnt intending to cry....! Congratulations to your nephew!!
It's so wonderful to hear about this incredible journey you've been on, Finn! It's interesting how life often comes along in these 7 year cycles. Thank you for sharing your experience, and for all your honest & uplifting words 🤗❤️
Thank you so very much. Its really lovely to have you as part of the FinnFam and share all this with you!
Hey! I really love your videos, but this one was exactly what I needed!!! I’m next to 40yo and next to 2years on T....so your story and the way you tell it, it’s just...thank you so much...don’t know how to explain so thank you!
Bless you, thank you so much for that lovely message! And congratulations on 2years!
Having watched you nearly from the beginning, it is so lovely to see how your personality has blossomed as your outside started matching your inside. You have always had a dear, elfish personality, but it has really started shining brightly as the years have progressed. I'm a fan of Finn, and I wish you all the best. We will get through this trying time: stay safe and healthy my friend.
Bless your heart, your support and kind words has mean a lot to me through the years so thank you so much for journeying with me!
You’re so good with your words and it’s helping me a lot with the wait for the NHS, you’re inspirational and a good man, keep doing what you’re doing 💕🏴
Thank you for such a lovely comment! Hang in there my friend, it WILL happen!
My dear Finn...7 years!! When you describe all this indispensable yourney mentally and phisically, I’m so so happy for you! I remember when you were in pain, every step of the process, the complications, the fear, but always, always, the determination to go on, never stop! And the effort to smile!!
When a person, doesn’t recognises himself in own body, this must be so difficult, so paintful, and living the school, family, relations, when you haven’t a solid identity to hold on, ....you must be really determinate to find the courage to start a journey like that!
I think...how many esitations every step, it’s a road with no turning back.
I am not good to explain with my poor english but you have done it perfectly and I’ll never be tired to say that I admire you!!
Be happy for all you gained, for be now the real you! It’s all because of you! 👍😘
You explain perfectly well! Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words, and for walking this journey with me!
I can really sense your male energy unifying with your male body through what I see and feel, and through the way you speak, and that each part of you has travelled to a place where it is at home and at ease with the other. I am so happy that your face and body has helped people see and relate to your inner self and connect with the inner landscape of who you authenticly are. Your transition acts as a gateway to joining your inner and outer worlds in the way that they were always meant to be. I'm so proud that you decided to create all that you can be and you welcomed persistance, perseverance and determination, and love as your friends. I like how you're in touch with your yin and yang energy, as in doing that, it has developed a sense of deep rooted holistic feeling of home within you and that makes my heart happy. This is a really wonderful video. Congratulations of your 7 years on T anniversary!! ❤
Thank you for that lovely comment. I love that you notice all that! This experience is one I feel very blessed to have had. No being trans is no walk in the park, but the gifts that rise from this journey, the self knowledge, the gratitude, the compassion, these are wonderful side effects of the trans journey! Sending hugs! xx
It makes me happy to see how happy you are in yourself now and seeing your progress over the years has been so amazing. Also, it gives me hope for my future. Really, seeing how you’ve held on all this time, and following you through it makes me feel like I can also do it. The virus combined with not seeing the progress I had hoped to see by now has really made my dysphoria a lot harder to deal with, and seeing your yearly update really is extremely reassuring. Thank you so much, Finn.
Also, lol, if we wanted anything other than your “waffling” we wouldn’t have subscribed.
Such a lovely comment thank you so much my friend. It is so incredibly tough l know but you absolutely can do this. I know the virus has added an extra layer of complications to everything. I am very glad to be able to inspire you to keep on keeping on, and reassure you that there is a very wonderful bright light at the end of the tunnel. One day at a time my friend and one day you will look back in awe at how far you have travelled. Much love and strength to you.
Love the longer beard look. Wonder, where my beard will be when it hits seven years for me. Right now it is quite thin (hairs are quite far apart) and no connection between chinstrap and moustache.
Hypothyroid really messes with hair and mood.
Also have the Gorilla genes :) I remember a few months into HRT that I had quite hairy shoulders "all of a sudden". The most annoying areas are the bum area, hair collecting the lint from clothes and around the bellybutton. I now get, why some men prefer to wax and manscape but I still celebrate the changes too much to deprive myself of them.
Going on year 4.
Thanks for the beard appreciation! Im not sure if I like it or not! And yes, dealing with hypothyroidism is so hard, my mood is so up and down! And the hair...I have a bum ponytail, who needs that!!! Like you, I refuce to manscape, i spent years waiting for this hair! Happy 4 years on T my friend!
This means so so so much to me
I'm glad! Thanks for watching, and for commenting!
I’m in tears with you… thanks for sharing ❤
Another great video Finn - in my career I’ve worked with a lot of transgender females - I know it’s an incredibly hard and emotional journey - I’m so happy you have found peace in your journey a blind man could see your full contentment in yourself and it’s a beautiful thing 🥰 big hugs 🤗 keep them spirits high - stay safe and well mwah 💋
Bless your heart, thank you so much!
FinnTheInfinncible your welcome I never worked with a trans male would of loved to of met you - such a beautiful soul ❤️
Thank you so much for this video, I really really needed to hear that. I've started my journey only a little while ago and am at a very low point right now. Hearing you voice a lot of my concerns gives me hope that I can make it through. Thank you ❤
You can and you will make it through my friend, I promise. I know how giant the journey seems right now, but just focus on one day at a time, setting small goals, and then it doesnt seem such a huge mountain. And remember to enjoy this journey, because all of a sudden it goes so fast and you wonder where the time went! I made a video recently with tips on managing the waiting time, here you go! th-cam.com/video/xfAoqJvANCY/w-d-xo.html
@@FinnTheInfinncible Thank you, I have watched that video as well and loved it. I guess once you feel comfortable in your body time flies, which is why I documented my journey so far. It's just waiting for changes to manifest once you started HRT is sometimes hard, but I am very grateful to you and other youtubers to show us that we will change and that it's going to be alright in the end, no matter the outcome 💕
@@purpleraven8700 Yes, it is exactly that! The closer you are to feeling comfortable in your body, the quicker time goes. A trans friend reminded me in early days to enjoy every step, even the painful ones, the slow changes etc, because these are the things I would look back upon fondly, and he was right! Change is inevitable my friend, sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly, but it happens :)
@@FinnTheInfinncible Thank you for these encouraging words.
Omg....i couldn't have described this period of my life. Complete disphoria every time I slow down and take notice of everything and everyone around. It yas taken me litteraly 30 years to gain some acceptance in the small small conservative town I live in. I set out to be me 100% and got through it. But now....... Being a ftm person, I'm pretty sure I would lose my job and maybe have my house burned down. My dad would be literally be sick and might lead the mob comming to string me up. It's so damn hard. I could walk on water but, as long as I'm ftm, I'll be the scum of the earth in their eyes.w
This makes me very sad to read. Its hard when we cannot control how others see us. It is important instead to control what we can, our views of ourselves. What these people think of you, has nothing to do with you but instead to do with them. I know it is hard, and of course we want other people acceptance, especially our family, but sometimes we have to let go and prioritise loving ourselves and giving ourselves the acceptance we need.
@@FinnTheInfinncible I have done that when comming out as lesbian. But, when our daughter was born, we both took a deep breath and, had to get on with it. It no longer mattered because we had this delicate little life to protect. In order to make her life better, I did what I had to do. 2 jobs and pretty much social distancing of sorts since then. My wife and my Dr are the only 2 that know I want to transition. And I'm afraid it's going to have to be that way. I'm not scared. Ive been bullied since grade school. But, being in a small narrow minded town and for that matter state, to protect my family, I have to stay invisible. I'm going to try to get my t started and damn I want a beard and tash lol but those will have to be shaved as will anything the public will see. Ive started doing private care and they would 100% sack me if they knew. The lady whom I take care of her mother has voiced homophobic comments around me a few times already so it's impossible at this point. I drives me wonky but I have to feed and protect my family. They mean more than my life to me. Maybe in the future things might progress. I await that day. I feel like a part of me is dying because it is being drowned inside me.
I just discovered your channel.
I started to think I might be transgender during the last month. I tried not to think about it to much, because I kind of think, that I am to old for questioning my gender. All videos I found at TH-cam seem to be made by people who started their transition as teenagers or in their early twenties. I was looking for support groups or LGBTQ centers, but couldn't find anything like that nearby (I'm from Germany).
So thanks for giving me the courage to keep on questioning or thinking about my gender.
Well said.
Thanks you my friend, and thanks for watching!
@@FinnTheInfinncible You bet.. Hey, question for you. Do you know the name of the erectile device you had put in? I'm going for surgery in February and looking for other guys who had the same implant. Thanks.
Lovely to see you too my TH-cam friend! I inject T-cip once every 2 weeks intramuscular myself (per Endo guidelines) and am extremely happy with dosage.
Have you been doing the quarantine beard? I was going to try to but OOOOOH ITCHY ITCHY!!!! I'm jealous that your mustache hair is still colored, mine is completely white! It will grow in colored at the ends, but the main part is already white, and I'm 43! It doesn't even show up lol!
"Random islands of hair" LOL! Mine was back hair and behind my thighs... WHAAAAT!?!?!!
I think we've all been "eating our feelings" lately... Don't be too hard on yourself 😊
What's your fav Ben and Jerry's flavor? Mine used to be Heath bar Crunch until they dropped the Heath part and made their own toffee... BUMMER!
9:00 I love your personality Finn! I love being "flamboyantly gay" and I love seeing anyone who finds their "inner peace" about who they are, it's wonderful and so uplifting! 🌈 I don't feel so alone. ✨🌟✌👍 I live in a small town of somewhat closed-minded people so I have to be careful just how much I present myself, whether it's shaving, hair cuts, mannerisms... I wish I could move away most of the time just so I can be who I really want to be without someone asking me "Are you male or female?" or "Is that you??" because I've been lazy and haven't shaved... I'm in a 140 unit apartment complex of seniors and disabled people, and some of them knew me before I had all my surgeries, and they still see me as "Tina" instead of "Chris" I feel like I'm living a double life and need to get an escape!
10:50 WOW... I think I'm starting to realize what I'm missing from what you're talking about here... My cat is the only thing that's keeping me going besides the hope that some day I'll find someone who accepts me for who I am... Thankful HUGS to you Finn for pointing that out to me! I'm still good here, no worries!
VERY wonderful video Finn! I love your content! 💯✨🌟🎉👏 I think people who go through things like we have can actually be stronger from our journeys! 💖🐑
Hey buddy! Yes, this is quarentine hair and beard! I MIGHT let Chris do my hair, but the beard is staying till this is over! Mine didnt really get itchy but I have been using a beard balm to soften it which I think is helping. I cant wait for my tash to join in!
And yes, many people seem to be over snacking! Ive discovered a new Ben and Jerrys flavour, netflix and chill, its amazing! It is brownies and peanut butter, likely my entire weekly calories in one tub! I have been trying a lot of their lighter moophoria rang and I love the popcorn one!
It breaks my heart that there are things stopping you from being you. My wish for you is to find a way to overcome that. We have this one life and we deserve to live it as we wish, with people who love us and celebrate us for who we are.
Sending you so much love fella x x x
@@FinnTheInfinncible Thank you for the love and support my friend! 🥰✌✨
I've never heard of those flavors, I hope they come out up/over here, they sound delicious! I told my significant other today that I'd have to move away to be able to me myself, I think that made him realize how he's been treating me, and he was a bit more accepting of how I look, but I know it's only temporary because of past experience (we've been together 16 &1/2 years now)
I think it would be fun to see a video if you letting Chris cut your hair! I'll have to check out that beard balm, I know I still trim wrong so I get "needles" in my face when it gets long enough, It's a wonderful mix of white, blond, grey, brown and reds! I would love to see a full representation at least once before it ALL goes gray lol! (I'm also on medication that makes my hair turn white as one of the side effects, I've seen it already in my eyebrows, eyelashes and other odd places like back and belly hair) My stash is white so it doesn't snow up well, I was thinking of buying a little box of "Just for Men" in a light color and seeing what it does lol! If I do, I'll post it on my secret channel hehe! 💖💯👍 Stay safe and well my friends! 🕊💪🙏
@@pmbluemoon I know it must be so hard being with someone for that long, and its easier said than done, but you DO deserve better my friend.
I LOVE white hair! I look forward to mine being all white and me looking like father Christmas! And please let me see your secret channel!
And...I may just let Chris do my hair....
@@FinnTheInfinncible You should definitely do a video on Chris doing your hair hehe! My secret channel is "Rainbowtropolis" ✌😉 Some of it is kind of depressing, but most of it is top surgery and T shots. I was hoping to use this channel to upload videos of my cat, he's ADORABLE (but any pet owner always thinks theirs is the best!) I haven't had a chance to get my old hard drive repaired yet to get the videos off of it yet. Long story short on that, I got mad and punched my computer when it updated to windows 10 no matter HOW HARD I tried to keep it from updating! I had to replace it with another hard drive to get it working again, my keyboard still bears a dent in the middle of it... Partly because they put me on a medication that for some reason brought out the worst part of me, I had to take anger management classes and everything! Once I got off that medication, my skin started healing back up but is now scarred for life, and I can go without alcohol again (it inhibited my inhibitions! It's one of my older videos I made on my other channel)
HUGS to you and Chris, stay safe and well! 👍💯💖🕊✨🥰🐾🐾🤗
I do love watching your transitioning videos ! I have been taking androgel for 2 years and pretty much nothing is happening. No voice or facial changes, but I do have hair growing on top of my shoulders and the top of my shoulder blades just not as furry as you though. And I do have some facial hair, I have been shaving for 1 year but my hair is light enough that it can't really be seen and plus I shave everyday. Only because my wife crabs at me if I don't. But as for physical changes none. But can't wait for them to happen. Liam
Hey Liam! Your Flock badge makes me smile! Glad you enjoy these videos. How strange that you have so few changes? I presume you have had your levels checked? It might be worth trying a differnt testosterone, some people respond differently to different kinds, I can imagine how frustrating that must be!
Relate. So. Much.
(Also me: rainbow 'tache! *nodsnods*)
Thanks for all you do, Finn!
Bless your heart, thank you for that lovely comment!
Hello,
my condition is as same as you, I mean I'm trans(FTM) and 23 years old but I live in Italy.
My problem is that in my country selling testosterone is forbidden, Do you have any marketplace or suggestion to buy My testosterone online?
You are the best!!!!!!♥️🏆💥🙌
Ah thanks!
Hey man, have you been on nebido the full time ? I was on gel a long while 4 years switched to nebido but so far I’m feeling rough as hell, I’ve only just had the two loading dosages and I was started on half dosage (don’t really want to fully get into why but my endo is well experienced)
Sorry for late reply but yes I've been on nebido since I started. It could be the adjustment is making you feel off. How are you doing now?
Great videos thanks- can recommenced Copenhagen grooming for your tash
Thanks for watching!
"Im not shaving until this pandemic is over" - how did that go for you? Because we all thought it was going to be a few weeks. Welcome 2 years later. 😂😂
Lol! I actually meant the end of lockdown and l did keep it going till the end of lockdown!
1st yay
Yauuu!!!
