So, one of the effects of HRT (T suppression, really) is genital atrophy. People say "use it or lose it" and it's generally true, though even with using it, you can still lose a couple of inches. For some, this is a welcome change while others don't appreciate this effect.

I'll be honest, some people would have said I was "lucky" or "blessed". I would not, and in fact, I'd say I'm pretty fucking cursed. Without going into too much detail, I was definitely above average, which for me was not a positive.

However, as my T has been basically zero for more than 8 months now, atrophy has definitely had an effect. And, as much as I hate that part of myself (so much that I'm going for SRS), atrophy has done a number on it. It is now significantly smaller and I fucking love it.

For the first time in forever, I just caught a glimpse in the mirror and literally went "Omg, it's so small! How cute". I still hate it, I do not think it's cute in the slightest, however I'm really fucking grateful for atrophy. It's much less striking in the eyes now and that's a big positive for me personally. So, once again, thank you HRT, you're saving my life in real time ♥️

That is all. Wishing you all a nice day 🩷

God thought he was being funny when he gave the cis dudes smaller penises and a conplex about it then give trans women all the good they don't want.

Right??? I didn't ask for this, it isn't a "blessing" for me in the slightest. Take it baaack, I don't want it 😭

I'll take it.

I'll take all yrans women's dongs, I'll be the Argus Panopticon of weiners.

drop me in a random Greeks island and leave me alone

[-] QueenMiisha@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 days ago

Please! It's yours! I don't want it in the slightest 😭

hell yhea, I'll print that comment and tell girls i have a big cock, and when they get disappointed I'll show her this thread.

but seriously, glad that it shrinking is making you feel better.

[-] QueenMiisha@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 days ago

LOL, fair 😂

And thanks! I know it might sound silly, being happy about "losing something society considers a blessing" but honestly fuck that, it's a curse to me and I hate it. Thanks 💜

Give it time, low stress, happiness, health, and food! Estrogen needs food! Don't starve yourself. If you're trying to lose weight, it's significantly more healthy and will get much better results to keep eating but exercise more.

Sometimes nothing can happen for a couple years and then BAM you notice something's different.

Also, wear your goddamned sunscreen. Your skin will get better a bit, and you need to protect it so that it doesn't get worse! Clean, moisturizer, sunscreen, in that order. And if you think you're busted or whatever kids call it these days, it will get worse. It can and will always get worse. Even if you don't care right now, STOP FUCKING VAPING and take care of your skin (ALL of it, not just your face!).

The rule of thumb is, if you're gonna go outside at all, even overcast, or be hit by the sun even through a window, use sunscreen! They make non nasty greasy sunscreen, too!

Does anybody know if lemmy/fediverse has a skincare addiction equivalent?

Edit: smoking and vaping both severely hamstring your hrt. Stop smoking. You don't need it.

[-] QueenMiisha@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 3 days ago

These are all great tips, especially the skin stuff. Thank you 💜

I'll be brutally honest with you...I'm absolutely destroying my body, every single day. I don't sleep enough, I take so much kratom daily, on top of cypro, which is horrible for my liver. I vape ofc (hard to not when living with someone who does, but not trying to justify it), I don't get enough exercise...I'm kinda happy tho. I feel like the drugs are keeping me alive. Without them, my mental state is horrible and I feel like I'm going to do something very silly, with permanent consequences. I hate myself and while this is slowly destroying me, at least it makes myself not end my life right away. I'm honestly just a horrible person altogether.

I don't take care of my skin. I rarely wash my face in the morning, I don't cleanse or moisturize. I don't take care of myself and it's gonna catch up to me really soon. I'm a mess of a person, no wonder HRT is doing so little for me when I'm actively destroying myself.

Sorry for that. I just needed to get it out, how bad of a human I am.
Thank you and have a nice day ❤️

[-] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 days ago

Uh, none of that makes you a horrible person, that makes you a suffering person with poor executive function, living in a toxic environment.

You don't need to wash your face every morning.. everybody's skin is different and responds to different things in different ways. Not wearing sunscreen and being in the sun is worse than not washing your face. And smoking and vaping is worse than that.

Honestly, the human body is very durable. All of this is only cumulative. If you stop now, or work towards stopping, future-you will appreciate it.

I suggest a change of scenery.

[-] Clarion_Fae@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 days ago

Please universe I see what you've done for my girl Miisha and I want that for me 🤞

[-] QueenMiisha@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 days ago

I think you'll get there. It's just proper T suppression, time and not using it much, lol
I believe in you 💜

[-] Clarion_Fae@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 3 days ago

Thanks ☺️

[-] NerdyNeko90@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 days ago

I’m pretty happy with the atrophy and getting de-nutted. My junk is tiny and useless. It doesn’t get in the way either.

I didn’t use it, and it vanished into the either. I am now forever a bottom.

[-] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

For me, kinda wish it would just naturally fall (not even on HRT yet)

[-] QueenMiisha@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 3 days ago

Same. To rid myself of it one way or another, oh that would be a dream 😔

You mention not starting HRT yet. Would you like some help/information?

[-] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Ah thank you sis! I can't start right now due to life problems but will ask lemmy the second I physically can. Tho I do appreciate some general info/tips if you have any :3

I kinda hate that it's happening to me.

I'm losing my SRS crafting materials :/

[-] QueenMiisha@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 days ago

I get and respect that 🫂
I'm honestly fucking privileged cause Suporn uses a non-PIV method (skin graft?), which means (from my understanding) that the size isn't that important. Doesn't matter anyway, I'm not maintaining this shit. Let it rot and fall off, for all I fucking care.

From my understanding, PIV results in greater sensitivity, but idk... I'm probably never gonna be able to afford SRS anyway.

[-] QueenMiisha@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 days ago

I don't know, sorry. And I'm sorry to hear that 🫂

Eh, no need to feel sorry for me. The only bottom dysphoria I get is from having a bulge, tbh.

Plus, I'm sorta starting to kinda enjoy how HRT is... working things out down there.

[-] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 days ago

Yes I also loved my nuts shrinking. 🤩

NUTS SHRINKING!!!!

[-] Shirow@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)
