FAQ About My Transition from Ghoul to Boi

Yes. I started testosterone-based hormone therapy (aka "T") at the end of December, 2023. I have many reasons for my decision, some of which I am comfortable sharing, and some of which I am not comfortable sharing. The reasons I'm comfortable sharing are the following:

• A reduction or complete cessation of my monthly menstruation (hopefully!)
• A reduction or cessation of my PMS/PMDD issues (hopefully!)
• Suppression of my endometriosis
• I had a bilateral salpingectomy in August 2023 (the removal of both of my fallopian tubes so that I cannot become pregnant), and during the laparoscopic procedure, they discovered I have stage 1 endometriosis. My surgeon recommended testosterone to help prevent the endo from progressing, so win-win lol)
• Better muscle gain and definition
• Gender-affirming physical changes (ex: general masculinization, including a deeper voice, facial hair, and fat redistribution)

I may choose to share more information about this with certain people at a certain time. These things are very personal so in general I may choose not to disclose more.

*Typically, it is not considered polite/respectful to ask a trans person (or any person really) about the surgical/medical plans they may or may not have for themselves. It is a very personal topic, and their privacy should be respected.
