same here, that's why I am using amazing channels like Jammie who talks seriously. It helps me understand my friend more and what he wants in the future
I'm 4 months on T and although my bottom growth is still rather small, it's definetly happening. I can't believe how much it has relieved me of bottom dysphoria!!
@Zara Gupta and you're a piece of shit. It doesn't concern you what trans people do with their bodies so who the fuck do you think you are to be telling them? Would you go up to every person who has adhd and tell them that its being over diagnosed so therefore they don't have it?
Hey dude, if you need another vid about this, ryland darcy made an amazingly honest and onformative video. You should check his channel out too, he's an interesting guy. Congrats btw:):)

i’m just trans masc and i want the other effects of T but i don’t really have bottom dysphoria. i wish there was a way to prevent bottom growth so i wouldn’t be so hesitant...
update: i’m on T and it’s not as bad as i thought. it’s weird but it’s so out weighed by the relief of voice change and everything else. (i just hit 4 months)
Oh Lord I'm happy to be not the only one feeling this way. I found out about this effect just a few days ago, because everybody seems to just not talk about it and I'm kinda scared. XD But it's extremly relieving that you say you felt this way, but in the end it wasn't that bad. Thank you for this little bit of confidence^^
I'm literally days away from starting T (!!!) and while I've been doing all my research and know what to expect, it really helps to see someone chatting about it who's gone through it firsthand. Thanks, Jamie!
Dude I love you! I’m not trans, I just want to be educated bc I’m genuinely interested, and I feel like you explain all the trans things really well and also seem like a super nice and sweet person! (A bit late but congrats on your bottom surgery, I kinda forget to comment at that time :’))
Hey, I can make a video about trans research in general, but in terms of mine it would be easier to leave it until my thesis is finished, because then I can go into more detail and talk about results! Definitely something I want to do though :)
Yep honestly never apply testogel to your growth i’m guilty of it and honestly so painful as testosterone gel contains alcohol so it STINGS. Don’t do it😂😂 I don’t think i’ve felt that much pain before.
Is it worse than putting muscle rub (Tiger's Balm, Icy hot, etc) on your genitals? I haven't done either to myself, but my brother put muscle rub on his balls once rofl
It's nice that you did that kind of video :) It used to be hard finding any information about this. Actually I should thank you for all your videos about transitioning, they helped me a lot. You are so positive and it helped me to accept being transgender. Before I felt like a victim... but now I'm transitioning, I'm happy and I still like to watch your videos :D Now when I think of it then it might be weird that I wrote all this under the video about penises xd (sorry) ... there's one thing that I think would be cool to talk about on video 'what causes being transgender?'... I have read some books but in polish there's not much written about it. I guess that you are also interested in this topic and might be able to say some cool things :) take care :D
I read that gender identity is something the brain does independently of the body or it's dna that is to say that the brain as an organ believes it is a certain gender despite the body, dna, and hormones saying something else. It has been proven in brain scans studying transgender and cis participants, there is a high level of cognitive dissonance in transgender people when talking about birth assigned gender. Cognitive dissonance basically is when your thoughts or beliefs are contradictory or inconsistent - basically when you see a body part with your eyes but your brain believes you're a different gender to the one you can see when you look in your pants. It's one of the biggest reasons depression is so severe in pre-transitioned people, the brain cant cope with the constant cognitive dissonance, it causes a huge amount of stress and anxiety in the same way that it would if everyone told you the sky is red but you can clearly see it is blue. These studies were really crucial in getting medical aid and state medical care to accept gender reassignment surgery as necessary and to stop thinking of transgender as a mental illness. It is not a mental illness, it is a biological misallignment between the gender of the brain and the gender of the body.
You are the first youtuber I starting following on these subjects and I love that I can always rely on you to bring up topics that I'm worried about or wondering. I've been on T now since 10/1 and am anxious and excited for more change down there. I've been a little self conscious about it since being more active with my partner. Thank you so much for discussing this :).
I'm also nonbinary and hopefully starting T soon. This has been a bit of a concern of mine too, but it kind of helped to reassess how and why i think about my genitals, and how we've sortof been conditioned since we're super young that vaginas should look a certain way, and if they don't they're undesirable. Having changes down there still feels a bit nervous, but I think it also helps to think about it as with puberty. Sure maybe EVERYTHING doesn't change exactly how you would like (in fact it probably definitely won't), but overall the changes will fit you and make you feel more complete!
as I'm sitting here contemplating whether or not I should talk about my genitals on the Internet, I've decided It might be helpful to share my experience. so I'm about 3 months on t. and I was very worried about bottom growth pre t cuz it just seemed weird to me. but its not as scary as I thought it would be. it doesn't grow that fast and its just sorta like oh ok that has changed. but it doesn't effect my daily life at all. and I tend to ignore that part of my body anyways so its not that weird. as for pain or over sensitivity I haven't really experienced that yet.
heyy, just wondering if you have any updates on your experiences with bottom growth and t? although i still have a long way to go before i'm ready to come out and start hormones, i've been looking into the effects of testosterone and bottom growth. i'll admit, it seems pretty scary and i get a little queasy imagining what would change _down there,_ but i also really want to take t in the future. have you experienced more growth and/or pain? and what do you think someone else should expect when starting t? (sorry this is so long and kinda personal aahhh-)
You're right on the money about bottom growth being one of the earliest changes. It definitly was for me. I'm 6 months on T now and so far it's my favorite change.
@@quincy_kid1270 I can't answer for anyone else, but it wasn't scary for me. It was one of the many changes I was looking forward to. Some trans guys do report some pain/discomfort as it's growing, but I didn't. For me the sensation was mostly pleasant. As for the position... mine never got bigger than my thumb, and it's still attached to the labia minora, which naturally pulls it back, so when flaccid it remains within the labia majora. I would need to get surgery to have it sit more forward (which I've opted not to do).
I'm NB and I want to start T to help with my dysphoria but I worry that bottom growth will become a new cause of dysphoria once I do start T, any advice?
Not related to the video but I’d really like a video of you (or maybe shaaba too) talking about 18+ education like your degrees and masters and phDs and stuff. I’m in my undergrad atm but really want to do a masters ideally eventually a phD but the process seems really confusing. but id also really like to know about the kind of research you do!!
Jamie this is why I love your channel!!!! You discuss stuff that other trans-men won't or don't. I wish more trans people would talk about realities of taking hrt for either way. Just like estrogen makes your penis and testes shrink. It doesn't go away but, it does get less prominent in most trans women. After it shrinks it does operate more like a clit than a penis and many report, as I am confirming, you have to stimulate it differently not like before hrt. Peeing standing up may be slightly harder as well I haven't tried in a long while nor do I have that desire. I'll leave that to the men.
Just wanted to say thank you for all these videos! My boyfriend is trans, I’m bi and your videos have helped a lot in educating me in terms of what to expect and how I can help and be supportive as his partner. Just a big thank you 🙏
I'm trans but idk the idea of something growing down here just makes me anxious?? Like I've never had problems with my genitalia I like how there is nothing down there but I also would like to have all the changes that testosterone can give me... I'm so scared omg ahahahah
I know your comment is pretty old but I wanted to ask how you think about that topic now? I feel the exact same way and I'd like to know what experiences of other people are😅
@@Noah-pl5os hey! I still think the same thing! And I'm not even sure i want to go on testosterone, i changed a lot this year and I realised that I'm a lot more fluid! I still thing i will get top surgery but probably just that
that moment when a trans vid is more informative about the effects of pcos than ur own doctor..............but legit i am considering T and im just having a moment bc ive experienced some of the effects you described and that just makes so much sense now
Yeah, I watch you because I am curious about these things. I am not trans or anything. You’re informative with out being creepy or superior. Thank you.
Jamie you're my favourite youtuber, I can come here and get honest words and a relaxed chat and it's perfect - I'm also a British trans guy and 4 Months on T - I was incredibly shocked at how quick the bottom growth happens - it was the first thing to change ... also at first the sensitivity was crazy and uncomfortable and it was a week into my transition, also I had pain twice but ever since it's all just settled down and my body is just doing its thing now
As a cis guy, the education is great, but for me the most viscerally (ciserally?) refreshing thing about this video was the incredibly natural body positivity about small penises. I just felt compelled to mention that. If a trans guy grows a half inch penis, and is proud of that, that’s awesome, and, to be a little flippant, carries at least as much ‘big dick energy’ as, well, a big dick in my eyes. As always, thank you for your openness (openis?) and for giving people like me the opportunity to learn, grow, and better understand my fellow men, such as you.
(I know I'm very late to this but oh well) Thank you so much for all of this educational content, I'm a trans male, planning on starting T, I was so naïve until I found your channel and now I feel so much better about starting it. I felt so confused about the changes that would happen since most of the only things you hear are that "your voice gets deeper" and "you get more hair" but when I found all this other stuff I was... terrified, scared, and was honestly thinking of giving up, but having videos like these calmly explaining how those changes work calmed my nerves and prepared me for them. Thank you for helping me on my journey! :)
Thank you so much! I am talking to my doc end of the month about testosterone but have been waiting for decades to transition and repressed it for a long time. It was a slow transition after my marriage ended and started to reflect and think about my life. I started as a masc/butch lesbian, the. Enby and have just recently decided to transition.
Im a Homorromantic Ace cis girl and I don't even know any trans person irl... But I am watching this at 12 am instead of sleeping for no specific reason. Perhaps curiosity and the fact that it amazes me that "science" is slowly advancing? Don't know. Also Jamie is an awesome guy. I really hope someday the physical body can be changed more effectively and more easily. That would be nice. Also if people could stop being assholes to one another because of mere ignorance, that'd be great.
I'm curious as to what happens to the (pardon my terms) vagina, labia, etc. Do they leave it be for metoidioplasty, sew it up, or what? Also when you search metoidioplasty in to google the first thing you see is a pic of Shaaba and you, or maybe google knows what I like haha
Domian Wolfe I know the labia are used to create a scrotal pouch for testicular implants, if the person wants that. I don't know if you can just sew up the vaginal opening though. I imagine you would need a hysterectomy or a vaginectomy first... So many ectomies...
I'm really happy you're talking so much about meta. I'd been so unsure about what I wanted to do with my whole lower situation and you've made meta sound like the perfect match for what I hope to achieve with my body and transition
I am an assigned female person and mostly cis. But I have a fairly high testosterone level and have had, for most of my life, a fairly large clitoris, and high sex drive. I'm aging now but had adventures. I've also had longer marriages with 2 men and have two children. Where does that leave me? We're all different and people need to get over it.
Dude, you look so handsome! Always appreciate the kind of content you have, its very educational and entertaining to watch. You have an amazing personality too. Much love, Jamie(: keep doing you!!
Hello, straight cis man here. I recently had a conversation about transgender people and I have to admit that I felt a bit stupid because I didn't know much. I wanted to learn and educate myself and thanks to you, I did. I'm very impressed with how openly you talk about very intimate things and I think there should be a lot more content like this. You do great work and among many trans people you're also helping guys like me. I understand it all much better now and have really learned something! Thank you for sharing your story!
Hey Jamie, any advice on what to do and how to cope with dysphoria while on a 2+ year waiting list just to speak to someone? Also does the NHS cover testosterone and surgery or do you have to pay?
Thank you for the information, I had no idea this happened on T. Honestly, I was a bit in shock when I stumbled upon this video, because I'm pretty much okay with my female genitals, and this might be a little uncomfortable for me at first but I'll eventually get used to it.
Is it that the bits get more sensitive or that the bits now extend out more and thus can rub against clothing more and make it feel more sensitive. Kind of like a cis guy before and after circumcision.
I'm nonbinary and considering going on T, but I'm not wild about having genital growth tbh - I would be going on low dose and probably not for a super long time, just for the voice and to look more androgynous, but you can't exactly pick and choose the changes. I do sometimes have genital dysphoria, but I don't know that these changes would help. What do nonbinary genitals look like? lol
Bottom growth was the one change that I just kind of ignored learning about before I started testosterone, but now that I'm on T, I realized I'm gonna want to be aware of what's happening to my body. I always thought there would be significantly less growth than there is for the average person, so it was exciting to learn there'd be a more noticeable change, and I didn't realize JUST how much it would change to function more like a cis penis. Also, I noticed growth starting to happen within about 2-3 weeks on T, is that weird? It was/is very, very minimal, but still enough to recognize change in my own body. It felt like my body had an immediate mini-reaction to T. Like, I always had irregular periods, they always lasted for 1-2 months and would just be constant spotting. But the literal day after I started T, I stopped bleeding completely. I haven't had any indication of my periods coming back since. Has anyone else experienced this? I don't find it anything to be concerned about, because there's no pain or worrying symptoms, it's just a little odd to me. Not that I'm complaining xD
Also, um, I started T about three weeks ago and, uh, yeah. The sensitivity in that region increased after about two weeks for me (which is weird as crap ‘cause the rubbing in, like, my pants when I walk and all that makes it very difficult to walk or sit comfortably) lol
Danny Cruz White skin, brown eyes, pretty - since he stopped bleaching his hair he looks more like David Tennant, I think. His beard isn't nearly as dark as Zayn's.
Yeah I'm pre testosterone, but I'm wearing a binder, and out with my family... but this is one thing I'm really worried about, like with any pain or discomfort
I'm 3 months on T and honestly I haven't experienced any pain or discomfort with bottom growth, just a slight increase in size...nothing to be too worried about :)
I can’t wait to start T… I have 6 sessions or a little more with my counselor yet till she can write a letter to start T. I’m so excited and nervous at the same time. I’m coming out to more and more people. I can’t want to legally change my name also
I'm non-binary and I want bottom growth but I don't want most of the other changes that T gives. I feel like I'm the opposite to most people, a lot of people want the other changes that T gives but not bottom growth.
I think that, on T, sexual feeling for FTM's is a LOT more intense than for CIS guys because they're taking the same amount of T as CIS guys produce but, because the organ is much smaller in FTM's, there's a lot more bang for the buck, if you see what I mean.
Im just filled with admiration for your courage and strength. I wish you ALL the best that life has to offer. I dont know if youre gay or straight but if I was 50 years younger, Id be asking you out. Youre just cute as hell.
is there a way to take testoterone but not have bottom growth? i would love to have a deep voice and facial hair, but i dont get bottom dysphoria and i dont like the idea of bottom growth
i know it's been 2 years so if you don't respond that's totally cool, did u ever find an answer to that? i have the exact same things i want as you and i'm looking for more information :)
The waiting list for the gender clinic over here is two years! They won’t even put me on the one that pauses puberty (cant remember name) and it just makes me really sad if I think too much about it. Anyway, thank you for the video! I don’t often see that much helpful on bottom growth but this helped me understand everything :)
I'm so sad everytime I hear about all the surgeries trans people have to go through... I know it's often for them a relief and a start of a better life, but you shouldn't have to go through all of that to be able to be yourself (not shouldn't like "they shouldn't do it", just "life is unfair, no-one should have to go through that amount of surgery").
Gosh, I’m so confused now. Because like, as a genderfluid person, I’m really attached to my female body, but on the flip side I’d love to be able to change a couple things so I’d feel more comfortable presenting male, but at the same time I want to still sound and look female sometimes. Like, why can’t I just pick one, you know? My life would be so much easier.

as I'm sitting here contemplating whether or not I should talk about my genitals on the Internet, I've decided It might be helpful to share my experience. so I'm about 3 months on t. and I was very worried about bottom growth pre t cuz it just seemed weird to me. but its not as scary as I thought it would be. it doesn't grow that fast and its just sorta like oh ok that has changed. but it doesn't effect my daily life at all. and I tend to ignore that part of my body anyways so its not that weird. as for pain or over sensitivity I haven't really experienced that yet.
heyy, just wondering if you have any updates on your experiences with bottom growth and t? although i still have a long way to go before i'm ready to come out and start hormones, i've been looking into the effects of testosterone and bottom growth. i'll admit, it seems pretty scary and i get a little queasy imagining what would change _down there,_ but i also really want to take t in the future. have you experienced more growth and/or pain? and what do you think someone else should expect when starting t?
(sorry this is so long and kinda personal aahhh-)
You're right on the money about bottom growth being one of the earliest changes. It definitly was for me. I'm 6 months on T now and so far it's my favorite change.
@@quincy_kid1270 I can't answer for anyone else, but it wasn't scary for me. It was one of the many changes I was looking forward to.
Some trans guys do report some pain/discomfort as it's growing, but I didn't. For me the sensation was mostly pleasant.
As for the position... mine never got bigger than my thumb, and it's still attached to the labia minora, which naturally pulls it back, so when flaccid it remains within the labia majora. I would need to get surgery to have it sit more forward (which I've opted not to do).
2 months on T here! Didnt even know about bottom growth so i got really scared when i saw it lmao thanks for this video it reassured me a ton!
I'm NB and I want to start T to help with my dysphoria but I worry that bottom growth will become a new cause of dysphoria once I do start T, any advice?
Not related to the video but I’d really like a video of you (or maybe shaaba too) talking about 18+ education like your degrees and masters and phDs and stuff. I’m in my undergrad atm but really want to do a masters ideally eventually a phD but the process seems really confusing. but id also really like to know about the kind of research you do!!
Thanks Jamie as a trans guy I needed to hear this
Jamie this is why I love your channel!!!! You discuss stuff that other trans-men won't or don't. I wish more trans people would talk about realities of taking hrt for either way. Just like estrogen makes your penis and testes shrink. It doesn't go away but, it does get less prominent in most trans women. After it shrinks it does operate more like a clit than a penis and many report, as I am confirming, you have to stimulate it differently not like before hrt. Peeing standing up may be slightly harder as well I haven't tried in a long while nor do I have that desire. I'll leave that to the men.
Just wanted to say thank you for all these videos! My boyfriend is trans, I’m bi and your videos have helped a lot in educating me in terms of what to expect and how I can help and be supportive as his partner. Just a big thank you 🙏
Thanks so much you did answer my questions and in a very professional tone. Much appreciated.
I'm trans but idk the idea of something growing down here just makes me anxious?? Like I've never had problems with my genitalia I like how there is nothing down there but I also would like to have all the changes that testosterone can give me... I'm so scared omg ahahahah
I know your comment is pretty old but I wanted to ask how you think about that topic now?
I feel the exact same way and I'd like to know what experiences of other people are😅
@@Noah-pl5os hey! I still think the same thing! And I'm not even sure i want to go on testosterone, i changed a lot this year and I realised that I'm a lot more fluid! I still thing i will get top surgery but probably just that
@@rosebud6116 u can be trans and not have bottom dysphoria :)
that moment when a trans vid is more informative about the effects of pcos than ur own doctor..............but legit i am considering T and im just having a moment bc ive experienced some of the effects you described and that just makes so much sense now
Okay so i am on a sugar daddy finding app and someone used your photo as their profile pic
I-

Never heard of this til last month on Google.
Not trans, just a bi woman who loves your videos! I am fascinated with this subject.
Its really interesting because penis and clitoris has the same embryonic origin so this is why testosterone effects the clitoris
Yeah, I watch you because I am curious about these things. I am not trans or anything. You’re informative with out being creepy or superior. Thank you.
Jamie you're my favourite youtuber, I can come here and get honest words and a relaxed chat and it's perfect - I'm also a British trans guy and 4 Months on T - I was incredibly shocked at how quick the bottom growth happens - it was the first thing to change ... also at first the sensitivity was crazy and uncomfortable and it was a week into my transition, also I had pain twice but ever since it's all just settled down and my body is just doing its thing now
As a cis guy, the education is great, but for me the most viscerally (ciserally?) refreshing thing about this video was the incredibly natural body positivity about small penises. I just felt compelled to mention that. If a trans guy grows a half inch penis, and is proud of that, that’s awesome, and, to be a little flippant, carries at least as much ‘big dick energy’ as, well, a big dick in my eyes. As always, thank you for your openness (openis?) and for giving people like me the opportunity to learn, grow, and better understand my fellow men, such as you.
(I know I'm very late to this but oh well) Thank you so much for all of this educational content, I'm a trans male, planning on starting T, I was so naïve until I found your channel and now I feel so much better about starting it. I felt so confused about the changes that would happen since most of the only things you hear are that "your voice gets deeper" and "you get more hair" but when I found all this other stuff I was... terrified, scared, and was honestly thinking of giving up, but having videos like these calmly explaining how those changes work calmed my nerves and prepared me for them. Thank you for helping me on my journey! :)
I just started T yesterday so this is sooo relevant to me right now. Thanks for making yet another great video. :)
Thank you so much! I am talking to my doc end of the month about testosterone but have been waiting for decades to transition and repressed it for a long time. It was a slow transition after my marriage ended and started to reflect and think about my life. I started as a masc/butch lesbian, the. Enby and have just recently decided to transition.
Im a Homorromantic Ace cis girl and I don't even know any trans person irl... But I am watching this at 12 am instead of sleeping for no specific reason. Perhaps curiosity and the fact that it amazes me that "science" is slowly advancing? Don't know. Also Jamie is an awesome guy.
I really hope someday the physical body can be changed more effectively and more easily. That would be nice. Also if people could stop being assholes to one another because of mere ignorance, that'd be great.
Just started T last week, this is awesome info, thank you 😊
hey! how are you doing with it?
I'm curious as to what happens to the (pardon my terms) vagina, labia, etc. Do they leave it be for metoidioplasty, sew it up, or what? Also when you search metoidioplasty in to google the first thing you see is a pic of Shaaba and you, or maybe google knows what I like haha
It depends what surgery you decide to have and wether you decide to have a hystorectomy aswell
Domian Wolfe I know the labia are used to create a scrotal pouch for testicular implants, if the person wants that.
I don't know if you can just sew up the vaginal opening though. I imagine you would need a hysterectomy or a vaginectomy first...
So many ectomies...
Wow thank you to all of you for the great info! ^.^
There’s another trans blogger Chase Ross and he does a info thing called trans101 and he goes through what happens with metoidaplasty
You're right LOL!! just checked
I'm really happy you're talking so much about meta. I'd been so unsure about what I wanted to do with my whole lower situation and you've made meta sound like the perfect match for what I hope to achieve with my body and transition
3 months on T tomorrow! I know it's definitely gotten bigger, but it's hard to tell. Hopefully it grows a lot more!
If you don’t mind me asking, what clinic did prescribe t for you? Or did you just buy it online?
I am an assigned female person and mostly cis. But I have a fairly high testosterone level and have had, for most of my life, a fairly large clitoris, and high sex drive. I'm aging now but had adventures. I've also had longer marriages with 2 men and have two children. Where does that leave me? We're all different and people need to get over it.
Omg this video is sooo on time for me, thanks a lot, Jamie!!! *suffering from sensitivity and unease down there*
Currently in tears because I want bottom growth SO bad!! D:
I’m not trans but I’m here for the education! I learned so much I’ve always wondered about! You are super cute btw thanks for posting this :)
Thank you Jamie so interesting, and saves me asking awkward questions JUST yet to the person I've fairly recently started dating :D
Dude, you look so handsome! Always appreciate the kind of content you have, its very educational and entertaining to watch. You have an amazing personality too. Much love, Jamie(: keep doing you!!
Been waiting for this video! Finalllllyyyyy!!!!! Thanks Jamie
Hello, straight cis man here. I recently had a conversation about transgender people and I have to admit that I felt a bit stupid because I didn't know much. I wanted to learn and educate myself and thanks to you, I did. I'm very impressed with how openly you talk about very intimate things and I think there should be a lot more content like this. You do great work and among many trans people you're also helping guys like me. I understand it all much better now and have really learned something! Thank you for sharing your story!
crazy that this video happened to come up in my recommended feed while currently going through bottom growth pains
Love your transition videos Jamie. Well actually all your videos to be fair :0)
Thank you :)
I'm trans ftm pre-t (hopeflully soon) and I've found your channel very helpful & fun for laughs
Hey Jamie, any advice on what to do and how to cope with dysphoria while on a 2+ year waiting list just to speak to someone?
Also does the NHS cover testosterone and surgery or do you have to pay?
Thank you for the information, I had no idea this happened on T. Honestly, I was a bit in shock when I stumbled upon this video, because I'm pretty much okay with my female genitals, and this might be a little uncomfortable for me at first but I'll eventually get used to it.
Trying to support my best friend! Thank you!
Hey Jammi! Thanks for the info. You're looking very healthy and happy.
Is it that the bits get more sensitive or that the bits now extend out more and thus can rub against clothing more and make it feel more sensitive. Kind of like a cis guy before and after circumcision.
Both, it's more sensitive, and more extended
I'm nonbinary and considering going on T, but I'm not wild about having genital growth tbh - I would be going on low dose and probably not for a super long time, just for the voice and to look more androgynous, but you can't exactly pick and choose the changes. I do sometimes have genital dysphoria, but I don't know that these changes would help. What do nonbinary genitals look like? lol
this sounds stupid af but buying a baseball cup (usually the small ones for kids) helps a lot with it being uncomfy
These comments are so interesting because bottom growth is one of the things I’m most excited about
Bottom growth was the one change that I just kind of ignored learning about before I started testosterone, but now that I'm on T, I realized I'm gonna want to be aware of what's happening to my body. I always thought there would be significantly less growth than there is for the average person, so it was exciting to learn there'd be a more noticeable change, and I didn't realize JUST how much it would change to function more like a cis penis.
Also, I noticed growth starting to happen within about 2-3 weeks on T, is that weird? It was/is very, very minimal, but still enough to recognize change in my own body. It felt like my body had an immediate mini-reaction to T. Like, I always had irregular periods, they always lasted for 1-2 months and would just be constant spotting. But the literal day after I started T, I stopped bleeding completely. I haven't had any indication of my periods coming back since. Has anyone else experienced this? I don't find it anything to be concerned about, because there's no pain or worrying symptoms, it's just a little odd to me. Not that I'm complaining xD
Also, um, I started T about three weeks ago and, uh, yeah. The sensitivity in that region increased after about two weeks for me (which is weird as crap ‘cause the rubbing in, like, my pants when I walk and all that makes it very difficult to walk or sit comfortably) lol
Wow. You are looking and sounding more amazing....... And u are so eloquent and obviously very intelligent. Perfect package!!
Thank you so much for the information as always Jammi we love u
WHAT?
I WONT GET A PEACHY BUTT WHEN I TAKE TESTOSTERONE?
WELL THERE GOES MY WHOLE PLAN
ah yes, not even trans, just some 3 am education time lmao
Why do you kind of look like zayn
Danny Cruz White skin, brown eyes, pretty - since he stopped bleaching his hair he looks more like David Tennant, I think. His beard isn't nearly as dark as Zayn's.
love the hair,jamie
i love that you added a star to the caption lol
Yay!!! Jamie is da man! B-)
Watching this the day before my next T shot, timing. xD
Yeah I'm pre testosterone, but I'm wearing a binder, and out with my family... but this is one thing I'm really worried about, like with any pain or discomfort
I'm 3 months on T and honestly I haven't experienced any pain or discomfort with bottom growth, just a slight increase in size...nothing to be too worried about :)
Your jawline is much more noticeable! Maybe it’s just me?
I can’t wait to start T… I have 6 sessions or a little more with my counselor yet till she can write a letter to start T. I’m so excited and nervous at the same time. I’m coming out to more and more people. I can’t want to legally change my name also
I'm non-binary and I want bottom growth but I don't want most of the other changes that T gives. I feel like I'm the opposite to most people, a lot of people want the other changes that T gives but not bottom growth.
I’ve just come out and I’m on the waiting list I can’t wait for the day I get t 😍❤️😩👌
I’m to scared to come out, got any tips
ooo i had no clue this is what happened so this is very interesting and quite educational, thank you :D
bottom growth was basically the first thing i noticed lmao, that guy went wild
I think that, on T, sexual feeling for FTM's is a LOT more intense than for CIS guys because they're taking the same amount of T as CIS guys produce but, because the organ is much smaller in FTM's, there's a lot more bang for the buck, if you see what I mean.
I had commented on this channel before like “not trans but I’m here for support.”
Guess who’s non-binary and going on T (hopefully) soon!!
Thank you so much for this. I never really knew what happened and now i do.
Im just filled with admiration for your courage and strength. I wish you ALL the best that life has to offer. I dont know if youre gay or straight but if I was 50 years younger, Id be asking you out. Youre just cute as hell.
He's bisexual!
Thank you! Friends going to take t and I wanna make sure I know what’s gonna happen so I can actually be there and understand what there going through
is there a way to take testoterone but not have bottom growth? i would love to have a deep voice and facial hair, but i dont get bottom dysphoria and i dont like the idea of bottom growth
i know it's been 2 years so if you don't respond that's totally cool, did u ever find an answer to that? i have the exact same things i want as you and i'm looking for more information :)
Thank You Jamie!!! Much Love!!!!
I love how open you are :) open to discussion
The waiting list for the gender clinic over here is two years! They won’t even put me on the one that pauses puberty (cant remember name) and it just makes me really sad if I think too much about it.
Anyway, thank you for the video! I don’t often see that much helpful on bottom growth but this helped me understand everything :)
You mean Hormone Blockers?
yungyoalien yeah those
Thank you. I am not nor plan on being a trans but I am super curious about all of it. Thank you for explaining.
I'm so sad everytime I hear about all the surgeries trans people have to go through... I know it's often for them a relief and a start of a better life, but you shouldn't have to go through all of that to be able to be yourself (not shouldn't like "they shouldn't do it", just "life is unfair, no-one should have to go through that amount of surgery").
I’m not trans but this is honestly very interesting
Digging the beard Jammi ☺️
Thank you for your videos Jaime.
Gosh, I’m so confused now. Because like, as a genderfluid person, I’m really attached to my female body, but on the flip side I’d love to be able to change a couple things so I’d feel more comfortable presenting male, but at the same time I want to still sound and look female sometimes. Like, why can’t I just pick one, you know? My life would be so much easier.
........This Video Would Make A Deadly Drinking Game
Love this kind of videos!!
