![change in gender role. Treatment with testosterone induces normal male secondary sexual characteristics within 6-12 months.
After much reflection, I have made the decision to take testosterone. I will thus become a female to male transsexual. This has been a difficult decision because I risk losing everything of importance to me: my reputation, my career, my friends and even my family.
Testosterone is a far from perfect solution; I’m still not going to be “normal” and social isolation will undoubtedly continue. But..treatment offers the possibility that, for the first time in my life, I might feel comfortable with myself and not have to fake who I am. I know I am making the right decision because whenever I think about [it], I am flooded with feelings of relief.
Although the idea of my changing sex will take some time for you to get used to, the reality is that I’m not going to change all that much. I’m still going to wear jeans and T-shirts and pretty much be the same person I always have been — it’s just that I am going to be a lot happier.
Many transsexuals change jobs...in order to retain anonymity, but anonymity is not an option for me — nor is it one I desire. I am tired of hiding who I am. More importantly I owe it to others who unknowingly endure this condition, as I did, to be visible.

In it we see the #GenderEuphoria Ben felt going forwards, along with his happiness at the path he chose, his belief in the need for trans people to be able to see each other & ourselves as we are, with joy.

A trans woman taking a selfie in a bathroom mirror wearing a black short sleeve shirt with a mesh flower pattern on the shoulders. She is wearing dark blue jeans, has medium-short length hair, and dangling crystal earrings.
I am loathe to post a picture of myself, but yesterday I found the most incredible shirt out thrifting and I HAVE to share it. So rare that I feel actually attractive for once.

Did a staff member who mentioned me on a phone call refer to me as she and her, and I had had absolutely no discussion with them about my gender?
Yes.
Did my GP tell me "You look very feminine today!" (complimentary).
Here, have some free #GenderEuphoria
Years of dysphoria, worry, and waiting—replaced with clarity, freedom, and pride. I’m finally fully me. #TransJoy #GenderEuphoria
S: An unusual but happy vent
I really like what we have now down in the underwear. It feels normal. I feel normal. Its been years and the gender euphoria just dont decrease a bit
Yeah. Its me. It is so much better than what was before. No double. No ragret.

One the most satisfying parts of transitioning is getting to the point where you dont need a ton of effort to look feminine anymore and it does amazing things to your mental health 💜💜💜

I’m definitely feeling myself again.

Mirror selfie of myself. I am a short, white, trans-nonbinary person with glasses and short, wavy dark brown hair with streaks of a few greys. I have a silver nose ring. I am wearing a black tank top with a black chest binder underneath. I am holding the phone about mouth-level and am flexing one arm to show my small, but not insignificant progress from working out.
Silly little mirror selfie during a moment of gender euphoria. 🥰🏳️⚧️ Not quite where I want to be yet in terms of muscle but I'm making progress. 💪😊 (Getting back into the swing of working out after over a month of intense Iron Lung hyperfixation. lol) #trans #transgender #transrights #gendereuphoria

#GenderEuphoria - today I started testosterone therapy 😊
Fingers crossed for sideburns, chest hair, energy, mental clarity and libido!
When I was a young child, I always wished I could have long hair.
As an adult, I get to (It’s currently just a bit above my waist). :)
#GenderEuphoria
Day 5 of PMSing on full dosage of estradiol.
I cried reading the Wikipedia plot summary of The Notebook.
This feels so painfully affirming! I am journalling these experiences while they are novel, so I will remember the thrills when they are not.

When I was at my PCP, one of the communicators came around from the front office to the waiting area.
She said “You really look…right. You smile now, and you’re always happy.”
A few simple words that filled me with blossoms of joy. I have never been this happy.

Brushing back my long bangs makes me look like my grandpa in the 1950's with a slicked back pompadour and it is my favorite thing to do rn
