I’m a cis woman who had to have a complete hysterectomy for medical reasons. It’s scary, and the surgery takes about 5-6 weeks to heal from. But it did not in any way change who I am, my personality, my femininity, my “sense of self” survived intact. I was devastated about not being able to have another child, but we did adopt a young child eventually. My heart goes out to you, you seem caught between two worlds right now. I’m praying for peace 💗
I went through the same situation (cis, had a hysterectomy in my early 20s) For a while, it was a bit difficult to relate to other women. I felt as though it took about a year to be completely back to normal. Eventually, Tai Chi was a great form of exercise.
I wish 5 to 6 weeks. I had a infection after the 8 week. Had to have a second surgery and 9 weeks later I still healing. I still can't exercise, have sex or dance. I tire easily and need a nap or go to bed early.
@isher-ilynut804 Where do you get off calling yourself a 'cis' woman?🤔 If you can't respect our age old descriptor of 'woman' don't use any descriptor. 'Woman' works extremely well and does what it's supposed to do without any prefix. Our label is NOT dictated by or dependent on any other group that have absolutely nothing to do with & no say in our title as 'women'. I'm absolutely sick of people trying to re-label, redefine & alter language to make them feel 'inclusive'. I'll happily opt out and be the one to be 'excluded' and embrace it!
What an authentic, down to earth video. Your vulnerability speaks volumes as to your strength and self awareness. Physically you look great and your inner strength will prevail during this hard time. I have no doubts! Tell those doctors to bring it on! You got this!
Sam, it’s a tough thing to go through, and I could never know what you are going through. I will say that I was jealous at the way your body looked at camp, thin and toned. So you must be doing something right. Also wanted to tell you that this vid is super inspirational. I showed it to one of my friends who is surgically transitioning and he’s having the same issues. He thought that this video can help him push forward because he now knows that he’s not the only person feeling that way. You are true inspiration and keep up the good work XD
Noah Stein oh my god Noah! This made me tear up. Thank you so much, and I am beyond happy that this video could help your friend. I am always here for him, keep pushing dude!❤️
Your smile actually melts me!! If we where together I would have you smiling constantly 🤣🤣. Ive not even watched the video yet, I just saw your smile and had to comment 😍😍😍
Taking the ovaries is a health concern too.. heart and bones for an example. I am BRCA1+ with breast cancer (triple negative) so had it all taken but I still feel like me.. so don't worry about that part. ❤️
there are lots of other "birth control" methods that often stop the period. I get the depo shot once every 3 months and I haven't had a period or spotting in almost a year.
Intermittant bleedings are a very common thing to happen after several years on T. I personally choose to maybe once a year vein off of T and get one regular period to give my ovaries and uterus a break from the stress of being on T. In the meantime supplying enzymes and lactobacteria really helps with vaginal atrophy.
It's natural to grieve, a hysterectomy is not only saying goodbye to biological children but it's saying goodbye to an integral component(s) of your physicality which is whether we like/acknowledge it or otherwise, an innate part of who and what we are in time and space. I'm certainly not a medical expert but - maybe, a hysterectomy may be a solution? It's a nexus you're going to need to calibrate and accommodate certainly if there's bottom surgery on your horizon. I'm born male, never been dysphoric about my physical and socially assigned gender though in my working life I counselled many MTF and FTF clients; a hysterectomy - even in an individual who isn't transitioning - is certainly a huge undertaking and forever alters your physiology not to mention the rebound affect in your psychological response and adjustment. If you're experiencing this particular issue, it's disturbing you and you're considering bottom surgery further down the line, well, you'll have to undergo the hysterectomy. In the scheme of things this difficult and isolating time as you contemplate deep within your mind and heart is inevitable in everyone's lifetime as we encounter myriad forks in the road; life is mysterious, who can say why we traverse the challenges we encounter? Whatever your eventual decision don't be too sad, don't freak out and become overwhelmed. Bring it down a notch, relax and let your feelings ebb and flow. Take it easy; you're still young, seemingly in good physical health given the surgical and ongoing medical intervention your body has and is sustaining. In time with patience will come your appropriate resolve. I'm very old compared to you and one thing I've learnt on this planet as I've experienced my own tragedies and bliss is to never become too agitated no matter what life throws at you, no matter how seemingly hopeless and dark - difficult or sad - circumstances may appear it's all about how you choose to frame things, how willing you are to give time a chance to effect a resolution. My heartfelt best wishes on your journey, it's a unique adventure and you're very courageous to have and live with certainty, your heart's and mind's convictions. Love and good thoughts from me to you. By the way - I love your editing of this piece, it made me laugh the creature with the knife. I wish I could remember which film I think it's taken? 😃
He can still freeze his eggs to have kids though they will most likely be infertile, I believe everything he is going through is more so triggering a more natural female response because he does still have his ovaries and uterus. Getting a hysterectomy would definitely help though
You are so very cool... I'm sorry you are going through a rough time. You will figure it out I'm sure. I'm a gay guy and I love masculine men... you are so that. Even though you love women... All I can say is wow... you are so truthful and sincere ... this video really moved me. Thank you!
You are so brave. Hang in there. Thank you for sharing your experience with everyone. I hope whatever you decide works out for you and that you are happy
Hey I just want to say sometimes the body you truly want isn’t real or obtainable. Make it your goal but damn you a fine man so please don’t do that to yourself. Celebrate what you’ve achieved! And please stay safe.
i dont know if this is already resolved, but getting your ovaries out is no joke. Even on testosterone then you go through menopause symptoms. It ages your body in some ways. Also, its kind of scary for many people because then if anything ever happens and you cant get, or cant take testosterone for a health reason like (god forbid) some kind of cancer or liver problems, then you are left without any natural hormones to fall back on. Historectomy is one thing, Ovaries are a whole in a lot of ways more serious descision. Ive seen vids of other trans peeps who had them out cavalierly and then were like "Whoa, I did not know the consiquences would be so extremem"
I know this video was posted a while back, but I would have an MRI to check for adenomyosis (tissue growth in the lining of the uterus) A hysterectomy was frankly a relief for me, even as a cis woman. They can leave ovaries.
.. loving your channel... just, you be you... and your top surgery ..PHEW, very nice (sorry Im a gay man) Im so impressed with your openness and honesty, you are soo helping so many trans ppl - well done Sir. Said it already, your channel should be shown in social studies in 6th form (UK17-18yrs) xx
Hope you're doing OK, dude. These must be super hard for you to go through. I know from my eating disorder past how uncomfortable it can be for hips to be growing and just wanting to not exist below the neck. I think maybe a hysterectomy is a good option for you. Please don't think it will rob you of your amazing, emotional side. This is clearly a deeper part of you than your reproductive system. You're super special in being so in touch with your feminine side and no surgery (apart from a lobotomy) is gonna change that. Feel better dude, you're awesome
Progesterone is actually a 3 month shot but I am spotting and cramping a ton on it and testosterone so I am also thinking of getting a hysterectomy. I also hate thinking about it even though I try to think well it's the cards I was dealt and men dont carry babies so if I ever have children I feel it would be similar to a traditional male experience I think.
I’m a cis woman and had a hysterectomy 3 years ago and I had the same thoughts about my feminist and losing my female parts. But I actually don’t feel any different and don’t even think about it anymore. Look into freezing your eggs and you can have biological children through a surrogate later. It’s an option u should research.
Thank you for sharing this very personal part of your journey. I myself don't know too much about the surgery this was posted almost a year ago so I'm sure you have much more information at this point. I do know that having something like this at your age is the blessing bc your body is gonna be able to come back much faster and much stronger. I think my aunt had hers when she was in her late 40's or just after she turned 50 and it was really hard on her. Again thank you for sharing and on a lighter note also thank you for those sexy shirtless teasers at the beginning and once toward the end lol
If it helps, I had to have a hysterectomy for medical reasons (I had a never-ending heavy period), and I was back to work in 4 days. I’m a cis woman. I know most people take a month or so to bounce back, but I watched your videos about your top surgery, and it likely will be a piece of cake compared to what you went through with that. As far as kids goes, can I suggest working through that with a therapist? I am no expert on transgender issues, but therapy is always helpful when handling emotional things. Good luck!
I struggle with the same! I always wanna bulk up to gain muscle and then when i start to see the areas i gain weight, i back off on eating so much. I have to lean bulk as well. What helps to prevent fat gain for me is incorporating HIIT 2-3x a week. I recommend looking into personal trainers and workout plans that work best for your body and goals. On the hysto part, just had mine a couple months ago. Everything removed except ovaries so freezing eggs is still possible in the future. It’s just less of a success rate if you do it post-hysto rather than before hysto. I’d still keep ovaries even if u can’t freeze your eggs because it prevents u from going through early menopause and keeps low levels of estrogen in your body (like cis males do) rather than having no estrogen at all and only testosterone which puts u at risk for health affects in the future like osteoporosis, etc. If your ovaries aren’t causing you any problems, keep them. No need to remove them. Plus you won’t have to worry about anymore bleeding once the uterus is removed. Sorry if any of that is triggering, i just want people to be aware.
Somewhat off topic, but is your diet plant-based? If so, plant-protein powder mixed into smoothies can put on muscle while not having to overdo it on calories. Watch the films Gamechangers and Forks Over Knives for more information.
I know this is terribly late, but I just came across your channel. I had a complete hysterectomy when I was young & it really wasn’t that bad, the only really down side I had was the instant surgical menopause. W/ you being on testosterone would you still go thru menopause or no? I can tell u Im still fully emotionally woman after, even more so, lol. Hopefully that helps a lil. :)
Jams La I’ve also had a hysterectomy and went through surgical menopause so I always wonder if trans men go through that too. Hot flashes don’t sound so bad, but they’re intense!
Lucy Goosie right?! Like instant furnace. I have 4 fans in my room, have to keep hand fans in my purses, gotta wear layers that are easy to strip quick..lol
Just stumbled upon this video. I don't know much detail about FTM transition, so the following points are meant to clear up my ignorance. No disrespect intended at all. 1. I had always thought a hysterectomy would go along with starting on testosterone. I would have thought that would prevent competition of the hormones, thus speeding physical changes. 2. Can't eggs be harvested from the ovaries as part of, or immediately after, the hysterectomy? I would think that harvesting from ovaries once outside the body would be easier than from ovaries on the inside. I hope you feel better soon and things go well.
1. When starting HRT (hormone replacement therapy) there is no need to also do a hysterectomy or a removal of testes. When injected the testosterone doesn’t battle with the estrogen, it naturally replaces it. Also a hysterectomy doesn’t completely void the creation of estrogen and other typically female assigned hormones because even people with testes and no uterus produce those hormones. Furthermore, a lot of people start taking hormones fairly early in their transitions, it’s usually one of the first steps (given there is no clear linear way of transitioning) so around 15/16 years old and hysterectomies and other bottom surgeries are usually done after at least 18 years old, the only surgery available at 16 being top surgery. 2. I have not heard before that you could harvest eggs from ovaries after a hysterectomy or oophorectomy but yes, it’s possible to harvest them during the surgery.
Hello, Sam! I’m a brand new subscriber and thanks for your channel, btw! Loving your videos, all the ones I’ve seen so far anyway. I was curious about your comment on this video about the hysterectomy and your comment about losing a certain feminine part of you if you have the surgery. I would be interested in learning more about why you feel that way, if i may ask? Are there certain feminine qualities you want to hold on to?
When you gain weight, you store more Estrogen in fat. Even after menopause a weight gain can increase Estrogen and trigger hot flashes. That may be your issue.
You know what made me mad? I was scared that something was going to pop out of the bushes and attack you!! I was trying to listen to your thoughts but all I could do was look behind you and try not to scream because I thought something would come out of the bushes!! Dammit man!
Stop using the word cis. It is recently invented nonsense. All you are doing is encouraging trans madness which, thank goodness, is on its way out. This poor deluded woman needs help not encouragement.
@@Messier45_Pleiades HE is a beautiful person inside and out leave trans people alone stop being a troll HE has gone through a lot to get where HE is now get off HIS channel
@@quinntitus4509 Who are you. Her girlfriend. I have no doubt she is a nice person. She is also confused which is sad. She has my sympathy but not my encouragement.
Hi Sam at the risk of sounding too forward, I work with a lot of women with hormone imbalances. If you would like to connect I am an medical intuitive. Anyway I work with people to help with herbs, supplrments , Channel Chakra opening exercises to help with second puberty, hormone balance. The key is turning off some of the DNA and sparking up otherDNA. Focus on taking away the period. Regardless if I hear from you I wish you the best. Black cohosh helps
Sam - do what you think is best - it's your body. On the genetic related kids topic, I have a genetic son, but I have never thought of him as a part of me or found my pride in him about our genetic relationship - he is his own self and always has been. I think when you raise a kid, and love being a dad like I did, you get the same experience as those of us with genetic related kids. I think lots of people would disagree with me, but that's my experience. Do what you have to do to be you, dude.
HI Boy your body your choice, yes sounds easy I am a boy with a different soul. Having certain external / intetnal organs does not make you a man or a woman. Feeling save and good in your own skin is what is important and if you need to correct certan thinks, hell yes boy!!! If I look at you I see you, it could sound shallow, a beautiful healthy physical and spiritual dude!!!.
Weight issues plague both men and women! Perhaps it might be better to focus on healthy foods and portions until you resolve the bleeding issues. This seems to really concern you. My niece and nephew are adopted, love them to pieces. Every option has up and down sides. Think health; mental, spirit, body, social and individual.
It’s not quite a weight issue that I have:) I eat incredibly healthy and exercise a ton. Definitely pros and cons to everything, I agree, but yea this is a bit different than typical weight issues:)
Sam Switz Understood. Of course, everyone has his own weight situation and yours is very singular! Just know that your family and friends are present to support you. Your personality is so handsome that any body image is eclipsed by your charm.
Sam Switz Well, I don’t want to minimize your difficulties but want you to remember to count your blessings too. I think many trans folk are drawing inspiration from you especially because of your disposition! Thanks information for sharing and leading!
First I love your videos and you are so sweet and very open, which is just amazing!! As a gay man, I can say you are what I would look for in a life partner, can we clone you as a gay man. :)
You look like Jake Gylenhaal ❤ Arms look good too ! About gaining muscle and/or fat, you should definitely check out Greg Doucette's channel : you don't have to be on a caloric surplus to gain muscle - but he explains those things way better than i do :p Take care :)
So handsome. I’m a gay guy, and I applaud you for considering adoption. You have the right idea, but I admit that I too would have to consider having genetically similar babies. I’m sure you will make the right decision !
You are one incredibly handsome and sexy guy. You should probably do what you need to do in order to be the person that you want to be. If you want children, there are so many kids who need to be adopted. You might want to think in that direction.
You are one of the most handsome man I have ever seen haha. I kind of understand your struggles with bulking in the gym. I am a cis man that, when bulking, gets a lot of fat and gains muffin tops... but yeah we have to push through that stage and endeavour to not let that bring us down. I encourage you to keep going. When you get lean you will be so glad you did it. Regarding your hysterectomy... think what is best for you and your future... only you and your colsest people can help you to weigh up what option suits you best...
*big hugz* Do you have a female relative you could ask to donate her eggs? Could be uncomfortable after the child is born, but it's an idea. Take care.
beadpoet as someone who had a hysterectomy (cis woman, medically necessary) I could never ask a relative for eggs. I’ve made my peace with it though and am currently taking adoption courses with my husband. The worst parts of the hysterectomy were having to take pills for the rest of my life, the increased health risks (it’s an average 25 year life expectancy from the time of surgery), the drastic reduction of sex drive, and the hot flashes. I also feel like giving up on adoption some days since we’ve been going through the process for a few years now, but a relative’s baby would not feel right. You’d always feel like you owe them and that you have to parent them according to your relative’s wishes. Too complicated and messy.
A sperm or egg are both building blocks I do not see them as male or female if possible one could save some of this building blocks, one could choose a other vehicle to have biologic kids, think your kids would have big boy handsomeness!!!
Isn’t that ok, because your a man now, and a cute one - will you have surgery for a penis and testicles - I don’t even know that’s possible - I admire your courage

As a sis woman I was dancing into the operation room to get my hysterectomy because I just didn’t want any more periods and pain.

Jams La I’ve also had a hysterectomy and went through surgical menopause so I always wonder if trans men go through that too. Hot flashes don’t sound so bad, but they’re intense!
Lucy Goosie right?! Like instant furnace. I have 4 fans in my room, have to keep hand fans in my purses, gotta wear layers that are easy to strip quick..lol
Just stumbled upon this video. I don't know much detail about FTM transition, so the following points are meant to clear up my ignorance. No disrespect intended at all.
1. I had always thought a hysterectomy would go along with starting on testosterone. I would have thought that would prevent competition of the hormones, thus speeding physical changes.
2. Can't eggs be harvested from the ovaries as part of, or immediately after, the hysterectomy? I would think that harvesting from ovaries once outside the body would be easier than from ovaries on the inside.
I hope you feel better soon and things go well.
1. When starting HRT (hormone replacement therapy) there is no need to also do a hysterectomy or a removal of testes. When injected the testosterone doesn’t battle with the estrogen, it naturally replaces it. Also a hysterectomy doesn’t completely void the creation of estrogen and other typically female assigned hormones because even people with testes and no uterus produce those hormones. Furthermore, a lot of people start taking hormones fairly early in their transitions, it’s usually one of the first steps (given there is no clear linear way of transitioning) so around 15/16 years old and hysterectomies and other bottom surgeries are usually done after at least 18 years old, the only surgery available at 16 being top surgery.
2. I have not heard before that you could harvest eggs from ovaries after a hysterectomy or oophorectomy but yes, it’s possible to harvest them during the surgery.
@@maxime7997 Thanks. Good information.
I admire your courage, and I think you are beautiful!
I enjoy hearing you talk. I just discovered you and I am trying to catch up.
Hello, Sam! I’m a brand new subscriber and thanks for your channel, btw! Loving your videos, all the ones I’ve seen so far anyway. I was curious about your comment on this video about the hysterectomy and your comment about losing a certain feminine part of you if you have the surgery. I would be interested in learning more about why you feel that way, if i may ask? Are there certain feminine qualities you want to hold on to?
I am a cis woman and having a vaginal hysterectomy was one of the best decisions I ever made. Easy facheese! I was shopping the bext day!
Hope you find the answers you are a great guy.
Messing with nature is never going to be plain sailing.
When you gain weight, you store more Estrogen in fat. Even after menopause a weight gain can increase Estrogen and trigger hot flashes. That may be your issue.
He want to build more muscle. So he would gain weight
You know what made me mad? I was scared that something was going to pop out of the bushes and attack you!! I was trying to listen to your thoughts but all I could do was look behind you and try not to scream because I thought something would come out of the bushes!! Dammit man!
oh, my god,! Love you so much 🥰
Look at Chris Heria he is a coach on a caloric defecit but still gaining weight
I hope you can find your answers. Yours is a difficult situation to be, to have to take such radical decisions. Take your time.
As a cis woman I HATE getting my period but I also have polycystic ovary syndrome so ya know
Stop using the word cis. It is recently invented nonsense. All you are doing is encouraging trans madness which, thank goodness, is on its way out. This poor deluded woman needs help not encouragement.
@@Messier45_Pleiades HE is a beautiful person inside and out leave trans people alone stop being a troll HE has gone through a lot to get where HE is now get off HIS channel
@@quinntitus4509 Who are you. Her girlfriend. I have no doubt she is a nice person. She is also confused which is sad. She has my sympathy but not my encouragement.
@@Messier45_Pleiades the word cis is invented by the ancient greeks
@@Messier45_Pleiades moron
Hi Sam at the risk of sounding too forward, I work with a lot of women with hormone imbalances. If you would like to connect I am an medical intuitive. Anyway I work with people to help with herbs, supplrments , Channel Chakra opening exercises to help with second puberty, hormone balance. The key is turning off some of the DNA and sparking up otherDNA. Focus on taking away the period. Regardless if I hear from you I wish you the best. Black cohosh helps
Sam this removal will be because the uterus and eggs produce female hormones th is it the reason of the menstrual bleeding.
how tall are you brother
Sam - do what you think is best - it's your body. On the genetic related kids topic, I have a genetic son, but I have never thought of him as a part of me or found my pride in him about our genetic relationship - he is his own self and always has been. I think when you raise a kid, and love being a dad like I did, you get the same experience as those of us with genetic related kids. I think lots of people would disagree with me, but that's my experience. Do what you have to do to be you, dude.
Im sorry you're feeling like this. Im not trans Im gay but also may need a hysterectomy. Sam you're awesome, smart, fun, and strong!!
You are amazingly handsome as your true self.
You got this dude
Great video Sam. Maybe one day we'll meet each other physically Sam
hysterectomy and oophorectomy is the way to go. It wipes out the fear of developing uterine or ovarian cancer. No more periods.
omg.. just hear ftm said he is regret doing hysterectomy
then right now i saw ftm want to do hysterectomy
OMG! Two different human beings with two different opinions?! 😂✌️
HI Boy your body your choice, yes sounds easy I am a boy with a different soul. Having certain external / intetnal organs does not make you a man or a woman. Feeling save and good in your own skin is what is important and if you need to correct certan thinks, hell yes boy!!! If I look at you I see you, it could sound shallow, a beautiful healthy physical and spiritual dude!!!.
Furby!! Better run!
Sounds like a typical man! Welcome to the club! 😂
Weight issues plague both men and women! Perhaps it might be better to focus on healthy foods and portions until you resolve the bleeding issues. This seems to really concern you. My niece and nephew are adopted, love them to pieces. Every option has up and down sides. Think health; mental, spirit, body, social and individual.
It’s not quite a weight issue that I have:) I eat incredibly healthy and exercise a ton. Definitely pros and cons to everything, I agree, but yea this is a bit different than typical weight issues:)
Sam Switz Understood. Of course, everyone has his own weight situation and yours is very singular! Just know that your family and friends are present to support you. Your personality is so handsome that any body image is eclipsed by your charm.
Aw thank you! I feel da loveee:)
Sam Switz
Well, I don’t want to minimize your difficulties but want you to remember to count your blessings too. I think many trans folk are drawing inspiration from you especially because of your disposition! Thanks information for sharing and leading!
First, I wanna say that I'm loving your videos!😊 Keep posting. Secondly, we must...must sacrifice for our children. What do you wanna do?🤷🏽♂️
It’s a ghost!!....lol
I love your personality. Beside you super cute, handsome man.
Wild yam cream has progesterone in it
With regards to the other thing look at tranpa he spreaks about this so that could help
First I love your videos and you are so sweet and very open, which is just amazing!! As a gay man, I can say you are what I would look for in a life partner, can we clone you as a gay man. :)
Sam there's a drink called weight gainer
Why on earth would anyone suggest an IUD for you?
If u are naturally thin running will burn up any muscle. Try yoga or something instead.
You’re so handsome
I wanna give you a big hug! ❤️ you look amazing, even when you don’t feel like you do! Hang in there, sweetheart!
VIDEO YOUR VIDS MAN
Another is a lot to you but just let me say that you're very very very f****** handsome
He is cute and hot at the same time
You look like Jake Gylenhaal ❤ Arms look good too !
About gaining muscle and/or fat, you should definitely check out Greg Doucette's channel : you don't have to be on a caloric surplus to gain muscle - but he explains those things way better than i do :p
Take care :)
You can’t have your cake and eat it too. You have a lot of options
You will feel much better having a hysterectomy doesn't take away your feelings of feminism..you will be fine sweet soul ..
What if you change your mind? Keep options open,no going back.
So handsome. I’m a gay guy, and I applaud you for considering adoption. You have the right idea, but I admit that I too would have to consider having genetically similar babies. I’m sure you will make the right decision !
Remove cervix, ovaries, uterus and no chance of cancer with any of those
remove the whole human while you're at it, so there will be 0% risk of cancer smh 🤦♀
You are one incredibly handsome and sexy guy. You should probably do what you need to do in order to be the person that you want to be. If you want children, there are so many kids who need to be adopted. You might want to think in that direction.
No! You shouldn’t!!!
😇
Your cute ass hell.
You need to save your eggs.
why? plenty other ppl got eggs
I've said it before and I'll say it again....yum
You are one of the most handsome man I have ever seen haha. I kind of understand your struggles with bulking in the gym. I am a cis man that, when bulking, gets a lot of fat and gains muffin tops... but yeah we have to push through that stage and endeavour to not let that bring us down. I encourage you to keep going. When you get lean you will be so glad you did it. Regarding your hysterectomy... think what is best for you and your future... only you and your colsest people can help you to weigh up what option suits you best...
*big hugz*
Do you have a female relative you could ask to donate her eggs? Could be uncomfortable after the child is born, but it's an idea. Take care.
beadpoet as someone who had a hysterectomy (cis woman, medically necessary) I could never ask a relative for eggs. I’ve made my peace with it though and am currently taking adoption courses with my husband.
The worst parts of the hysterectomy were having to take pills for the rest of my life, the increased health risks (it’s an average 25 year life expectancy from the time of surgery), the drastic reduction of sex drive, and the hot flashes. I also feel like giving up on adoption some days since we’ve been going through the process for a few years now, but a relative’s baby would not feel right. You’d always feel like you owe them and that you have to parent them according to your relative’s wishes. Too complicated and messy.
A sperm or egg are both building blocks I do not see them as male or female if possible one could save some of this building blocks, one could choose a other vehicle to have biologic kids, think your kids would have big boy
handsomeness!!!
Yooo check out some greg doucette videos my dude!!!!
I like you and i think i love you hahaha i really love transman respectfully
Isn’t that ok, because your a man now, and a cute one - will you have surgery for a penis and testicles - I don’t even know that’s possible - I admire your courage
I've heard that you have to take more testosterone because your uterus does produce some T.
Marry me
Ehmmm you are so cute :v
Oh you poor thing. Hard answers for hard questions. Preserve the cervix imo
Show us your hips, hipster!
Actually u are beautiful girls. Who like challenges.
Transgenderism is nothing but mysogyny. I certainly hope no one ever let's you near kids.
nope not at all
