Conor Hollywood // you won't get prescribed T on your first appointment. I don't know if you're going somewhere to get referred to the gender clinic, or its your first appointment there, but there's a few sets of appointments before they let you have that. Though sometimes it is better to transition slower and not go on hormones straight away, this bring due to how it was put 'mentally transition ' to allow you to get use to it. Changing immediately can cause you harm, whether you know that or not. Though when they prescribe you T, of course feel free to start straight away. Though you may have to pick what's best for your mental health.

Acne advice: When I was doing T injections I used Curology - it's a monthly subscription, but it's tailored to you & it's really great. I went from horrific acne to a pimple or two. However! I haven't been using it recently because I switched to gel (I use Fortesta), which is 100% more annoying because you have to slap it on daily, but I don't have a ton of acne on my face anymore & I'm way more level in terms of mood. It DOES tend to be more expensive, though, so discuss & make sure your insurance or whatever will cover it.

In a strange sort of way I feel like I miss you knowing that I can't go. You're absolutely incredible and I want you to know that- Hope to see you or meet you someday, you make me happy!

I just came out at school yesterday and I saw this on my suggested videos and Immediately subscribed before even watching the video but I'm happy because I've been trying to figure this out. Thank you Sam.

"Cuz I can't keep up with anything in my life because I'm a piece of shit" oK ME

I'm not transgender or anything but I still love watching your videos I found you last night and could not go to bed I was up laughing and happy all night you just put me in a good mood it's also nice to see one of my favorite you tubers from mass just like me I'm so proud of all that you accomplished makes me never want to give up I've been so down lately recovering addict (I can finally admit it) just been so down lately I'm finally getting used to being clean and happy again and that's why I'm glad I found you because you lift my spirits you give me hope that things can change if you work hard and believe in your self but anyways I can keep going on forever ps you are frigging adorable 😘

I really love your informative videos and look forward to seeing more of them. Keep up the awesome work!

This was very helpful! I've been thinking of starting T and I figured I'd google the pros and cons to see if I'd find it worth doing, and I'm glad I came across this video.

I love you

I'm a trans guy using gel testosterone since I have extreme needle phobia. During my first puberty, I never really had that much acne. there was some, but it wasn't bad at all. now during my second puberty, I've had maybe ten pimples in almost eight months. I don't know if gel vs shots has anything to do with it, but I recommended gel anyway. you do have to apply it daily, but I think you're right about the T levels being more... level. less ups and downs. plus you're not stabbing yourself every two weeks or whatever so that's always a plus. as far as whether gel is as effective as shots, I'm only about eight months on T and I have new and darkening hair EVERYWHERE. A lot of guys I know on shots were at the one year mark and had almost nothing. I know it's different from guy to guy, and to be fair I was quite hairy already, before starting T, but my results are happening faster than a lot of guys I know that inject. something to think about. I do wish my voice was changing as fast. it seems to be taking its sweet time. there's a definite difference but it's not as deep as I know it can be.

ArtiesaurusRex Mmm i did gel and it didn’t work as well for me, hope you’re doing well!

I'm a straight guy who was born a male and I'm considering taking testosterone. I'm 16 and I still don't have my puberty voice, and it's embarrassing especially at school. I have gone through other body changes like height and body hair, but it's just my voice.

When I heard that it stops periods (well not completely but mostly) I was like 😱😱😱😱 THAT IS ONE I DID NOT KNOW! I celebrated SO hard once I heard that cause I just started on it a few months ago (knowing it takes a while for full effect but still excited). Anyways, super happy for you Sam, love you and your videos, take care! ♥️

I think one of the coolest thing about trans people is that they can say that they have been a boy and girl in their life like how fucking cool is that

well maybe so. but a ftm will understand when girls complain about periods or bras. and a mtf will understand things like body hair and both mtf and ftm will understand gender expectations and what not from before they came out and started transitioning.

Mr Awesome Guy gender and sex are different things. So their gender never was a Girl, because their gender always was a boy, that's why they feel like one and transition and know that something is wrong with their "body". Body is sex. So they were female(sex) but never a girl.

Bruh my hair is so thin, if it thins out even more I'll end up like my dad: balding at 25

I know this post is old, but, thank you so much for this video! You are helping me so much and I cannot wait for my transition!

SAM the weekend came on the radio and I thought of you "I miss Sam, if only he posted another video" and when I got home I saw that u posted a video and I freaked out ❤️😂

I wish you would come back to Toronto!

Emma & Serina 303 Aww im so sorry bud! :( But hey you never know they might be really supportive. I was there once too, you just gotta take chances even though its really scary sometimes. I mean you gotta come out sooner or later, you know?

Thank you very much for letting me know about the cons! it makes me nervous when people say there's literally nothing wrong with something i want to know about, because there are obviously some kind of con to everything.

You're right about Testosterone and mood. Like you said, Testosterone is a hormone and a new hormone entering your body will influence your mood in different ways, from being sad, moody or really happy until your body gets used to it, just like when boys start puberty. I also found that once starting T I was less able to cry but this is different for everyone.

you are my little hero

i'm getting my binder for my 14th!! (or sooner if i'm lucky)

watching stuff like this gives me the courage to go on t..... ive always been kind of hesitant bc i worry about "what if i dont like the changes to my body" but seeing people be comfortable and happy on it has given me the courage to do it, and hopefully i can start in a few months when i move to a new state

im so proud of you sam

I'm sorry if this comes off as offensive, but it sounded really weird to hear a guy talking about the hell that is menstruation. I'm a baby LGBT member and I haven't met a lot of LGBT people(except fellow bi's) and idk it was just a weird feeling to hear a dude openly talk about periods without being so ignorant lol. I like you, Sam.

NOTIFICATION SQUAD!

Loved this video! So interesting how Sam observes psychological changes as his t-levels have increased over the years, like less emotional sensitivity and higher libido. Seems like pretty good evidence there are biological and physiological differences between men and women because we have different hormones, and once you become a man, you will experience those changes. The parts of the trans community that have always frustrated me are the parts that act like there are no differences between men and women, but there are... that's WHY there exists the process of transitioning to begin with... I like to hear trans experiences of how the change really affects them because it's a real human experience, not gender studies professors telling us theory about how the sexes are identical.

I think that you are amazing and screw anyone who thinks otherwise. U are a very stronge person who didnt care what anybody else said. Ur amazing and i love u.

you're so pure lmao

youre so beautiful omf ♥

I get that this comment is a year old but calling some men beautiful might be offensive because it is seen as more female.

Sijin Park yeah, i agree, as a trans man, I don't appreciate being called "beautiful" or "cute" it makes me feel dysphoric and not man enough, it sucks.

You're amazing Sam! 😊

emotions are definitely change for sure. It doesn't change who you are but it does alter you to a point if you get what I am saying :) thanks for the video man

Hey! I'm pre-trans and i just wanted to tell you thanks and this information might be a lot useful in the future XD

I've been wondering for a while, I know that T makes your voice lower and that's absolutely wonderful. I would love to be on T with that as the main reason but does it affect your singing voice? What I mean by that is when your voice gets lower if you sing would you be off key even if you practice? If you were a good singer not on T would you become a terrible singer on T or the other way around? I'm fairly new to researching this topic so if anyone could help awnser my stupid questions it would be greatly appreciated.

It won't make you a terrible singer, but your voice will crack sometimes and you'll need to put in more effort to sing, and to learn to sing lower. Cis boys who sing have a hard time going through puberty, and trans guys have a hard time with their singing voices while transitioning, but you can definitely still be a singer. You just need to learn to adapt and forgive yourself for getting a tiny bit worse as you adapt to your changing voice.

i love u sam! so freaking much, and it really sucks when you think about it, to be an fan of a person who dont know you exist. im from denmark btw. I dont know what to say now sooo. have a great day! love - Rebecca

I’m getting my first haircut today 😱😱🤗🤗!

One question. How can shark week not appearing each month be healthy on the body? Is it just as a result of T levels being more so than E levels? So things halt naturally?

Hii...sam ..m also confused about it....i don't know i should go for surgery n all stuff...i don't know how to come up with...what n how i will hv to work...also the people in.work place would accept me or not.......i m studying.. n how would my carrier would be if this happens

I'm pretty much in agreement with you about the pros and cons. Even now in my detransition, I'm pretty a-okay with most of my changes from T. I was on it for 6 years before I went off it. I still love my voice being deep, and my ability to grow facial hair. I got good beard growth, and I'm still oddly proud of it. I find it comforting to just have a bit of stubble going on. Even though I don't think of myself as a man or ftm anymore, so I guess I'll just join the bearded ladies' club! As for the other changes I still like, I'm very happy with my clit being bigger, and I feel quite neutral about my body hair being a little extra for a woman. Mostly it annoys me cause it itches, but then I also like how it feels to touch. I don't like showing chest hair in public though, so I tend to shave that for going out. I don't want for people to fixate their eyes on that! But except for that, I don't shave anywhere else on my body, and the hairs don't give me any dysphoria. I'm not a huge fan of my hairline either. It receeded back further than yours, but thankfully I didn't go bald. I don't bother hiding it or anything though, it is what it is. I wish I could have kept the body shape I had while on T, actually. Cause I was a nice hour-glass shape on T but off it my butt is morphing back to disproportionately gigantuous again and I'd rather it didn't! But other than that I'm happy to be off T and back on my natural estrogen again. My emotions feel like my own again, and my body feels like my own too. I smell better, I love how soft my skin has become again although it doesn't go well with shaving my face (extra ouch), but I don't wish to reverse any of the permanent changes I got. So despite detransitioning and seeing myself as a woman now, I don't regret having been on T. I love both my male traits and my female traits. Cause it's my body and I love it.

Awesome video dude! Canada supporter :)

Thanks for mentioning eyebrows as weird as that is haha. Nobody mentions that and I was wondering how that's affected.

I want to transition but I'm scared of Taking T, I want facial hair and stuff but I have high anxiety and I just don't know..

thank you Sam for making this video! as a closeted ftm trans guy this is very interesting and yeah I'm a fan dude you're awesome!
