  • I've been off testosterone for about 9 months. Here's the rundown on which effects stayed and which reverted back!

    It's really nice and reassuring to see non-binary people who are older, especially when it feels like a lot of cis people more often on the conservative end think it's a trendy thing or phase that just younger people are going through. Seeing a person in their 30's who also is non-binary makes me feel more secure and validated in this identity. I want to start T as well, and can relate to some of this you talked about how you wish you could pick which changes you got.

    Thank you for sharing! I have a consultation to start low dose T in 3 weeks and I'm still unsure about taking it. This is helpful thank you!

    My wants from T seem to be the same as yours. (I'm NB, too). I keep going back and forth on whether I want to go on T and if so, how long. Glad to know I am not alone.

    Hey thanks for sharing your experience. I just recently came into my nonbinary identity and I'm looking for all the information I can find on transitioning. This is really helpful for me.
    My main anxiety about all this is how I'll be treated by mainstream society if I transition. I think it will be worth it but I'm very nervous to not be able to predict how people will react to me. (I should probably go check the rest of the videos and see if you talk more about this.)

      That was a huge anxiety of mine and I'm sure I've talked about it before, probably especially early on!

    I really love your videos. It is really nice to hear your experiences with your gender and gender expression. I just really appreciate your open and honest discussions.
    Interesting side note. I feel more easily able to cry after T vs before T. I'm just not much of an emotional cryer in general unless it comes to sad Disney movies with animals. Now sometimes I find myself tearing up even talking about another person experiencing strong emotions, positive or negative.

    I appreciate your dialogue on this very much and always have. We have a very similar view on our wants and needs and the way you ebb and flow on your decision is very validating because I constantly want to go off and on it and its nice to know I'm not alone.

    Thank you for this video. I started watching your videos cuz I wanted to know more about GNC peeps on T. Still contemplating taking it or not, but your videos are so informative. Really appreciate the information, especially from someone around my age. Thank you!

    I didn’t even know u can do this! I’ve been wanting to get T but didn’t want all the changes. (Pretty scared of hair change since I already have a shit ton of hair) I just wanted the deep voice tbh so I’m glad I can do this!

    It's so great that you've put this video out there. I'm non-binary too and I've been on T at varying doses on and off for almost 2 years now. When I stopped before, it was for reasons outside of my control and lasted for about 4 months. I wasn't ready to be off of it quite yet. Recently I've come to a place where I've decided I need to stop taking T, at least for the time being, and gather how I feel about it. I really understand what you mean when you say neither T or E is perfect for you. It's really hard to make these choices. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and putting this information out. Your videos have helped me a lot at many different points in my transition.

    I had a question regarding romanticism (dont know if thats the right way to say it). But my question is if an aromantic person wanted a romantic relationship could they have one? Or be in a romantic relationship? Im struggling with that because i like a guy but at the same time i dont want to hurt him if i dont feel anything. Also i want a relationship cause i dont want to just have friends. That'd be great but i feel like i wanna have a relationship.

    • @CelesteM
      @CelesteM  Pƙed 4 lety +1

      Theoretically, yeah! But I'm not really sure how it would work, to be honest. You'd have to work that out with your partner. But you might also want to look up "queerplatonic relationships" (or partnerships) which are, very basically, platonic relationships that are more intimate and committed than typical friendships.

    @nalabees Pƙed 5 lety +3

    I'm glad it worked out for you but this new trend of using hormones to try to cherry pick what changes you want in your body is not really healthy. encouraging others to do the same only gives a false sense of hope that issues they have can be helped if they can just change a few things with their biology.

    • @CelesteM
      @CelesteM  Pƙed 5 lety +11

      There's nothing false about it. Many aspects of dysphoria absolutely can be alleviated through the use of HRT. (To be clear, though, I've never encouraged anyone to do anything. I merely share my experience so others can know what to expect if they choose to pursue medical transition.)

      Exactly, you cant pick and choose what you get with testosterone. This entire video frustrates me as a woman battling with PCOS and having facial hair etc through no fault of my own and this person here is complaining about it after self inflicting it

    • @CelesteM
      @CelesteM  Pƙed 4 lety +15

      @@thoraneh7365 I'm sorry you struggle with that, but it doesn't negate anyone else's struggle who came to it a different way. Plenty of medications have unwanted side effects. That doesn't mean someone shouldn't have taken the medication if it helps them in other ways, or that they're not justified in complaining about the side effects just because they chose to take the medication.
