    Hi, really nice to hear your perspective/changes on low(ish) dose T. I’ve been on low T dose myself for almost a year now. I find that there’s not a whole lot of resources on it so always great to here from fellow low dose people. I feel similarly about low dose T as you do. Thanks for sharing! Roo :)

    Yay for low-dose buddies :3 I feel like we're all doing our little experiments with what these things do to our bodies - that's why I keep these little yearly updates even though I don't have much to talk about regarding trans stuff on a weekly/monthly basis.

    I've been on 40mg / .2mL injections for almost two months and I was thinking about going higher because I haven't noticed any voice change yet, but you have me thinking that I just need to chill and have patience. You got good results on low dose so I just need to wait and stick to what I'm doing I think.

    I totally understand the frustration, but just from my perspective, it took maybe 6-8 months before I could notice changes in my voice. I think it's worth to let it take a little time (if you are able to), both to be able to adjust mentally, but also to not shock the body too much with the changes. Edit to add: but I can also see that depending on your level of dysphoria and other circumstances, relative slowness might not be an affordable luxury.

    @@ZiggiWillpower I like the idea of taking it slow because I'm not sure if I'm okay with body and facial hair but I definitely want a voice drop, so it being spread over time gives me more time to think and adjust and maybe change my mind about how I feel about hair. Also, I forgot to mention that I'm doing 40mg every two weeks, so idk if that's comparable to 40mg daily in gel form. dosages are confusing.

    Soooo.. yt removes comments with the q-word so I’ll have to censor myself to get my comment to stay up. Happy anniversary! 🎉 Apparently youtube decided to not show me your post on the community tab. 🤷 I can’t believe it’s been 2 years already, I remember when you started posting about this journey. ☺️ Thank you for sharing! I’m glad to see how pleased you are with your experience. I’m interested in going on a low dose T but have been putting it off bc I’m scared of judgement from society and don’t really have much support regarding my qu**rness irl. I live in the north of Sweden so it’s not very easy to find/build a qu**r community. I’ve also heard that the waiting list just to get into the clinic is very long so that doesn’t help either. 😅

    Tack :3 Jag fattar verkligen rädslan för vad andra ska tycka och tänka, det kan ju betyda väldigt mycket, speciellt som du säger när man inte har ett starkt närverk omkring sig. Tänker att det kan vara värt att sätta sig på väntelistan även om man är osäker, så har man tid på sig att tänka på det också :) Och tur att internet finns så vi kan känna oss lite mindre ensamma!

    Note: Just watched a few minutes of your video Got you! I grew up in a strict loving religious Christian family. I wanted to be an MtF. But my parents won't let me. 😐 So now for the past 3 years, I decided to meditate on subliminal frequencies. They the subs work... But the results are very slow.😱 I am started to look like a non-binary genderless man. My goal is to look like a straight former Trans. Like Sabel Gonzales. I am 75-80 % straight and 25-10 attracted to former MtF Trans people who look straight in a girlish boyish in ways.

    I'm glad you have found something that works for you, despite your parents not being supportive. I think it's always important to remind ourselves every day that non-binary is not a look or an aesthetic, it does not matter what the body or the clothes look like :3
