TESTOSTERONE MAKES ME ANGRY… BUT IN A GOOD WAY.
LAST YEAR I PUNCHED A HOLE IN THE WALL
The reason isn’t important, I know because I truly can’t remember why I did it. I do know that never once did I punch anything before transitioning from female to male in my 30’s. For me, the thing I noticed was that all the places in life that used to make me sad didn’t anymore. Instead they filled me with rage.
MOSTLY I FORGET
EVERY FRIDAY
I plunge this badboy into some muscle on my body. Except that mostly I forget. BRAINS ARE FUNNY, RIGHT? When I first started taking testosterone I counted down the hours until my next weekly shot. I painstakingly obsessed that not a drop was wasted. And now... now I kinda dread it.
I LOVE MY MANHANDS
I love my hands.
They are my fave body part hands down.
Sure, I guess it’s because I can do cool stuff with my hands. I can hold my tiny humans, I can stroke Katherine’s face, I can open doors and bottles and all sorts of crazy things with my opposable thumbs.
WHEN YOU TURN INTO THE INCREDIBLE HULK
This Vitamin T as people in the trans world affectionately call it is a fucking beast.
An awesome beast don't get me wrong. Everyday I look in the mirror and am pumped at the changes I see looking back at me but I gotta say guys-- the muscle growth, it's crazy.
