Yes, I was on testosterone for most of my last semester of high school. If people noticed, they didn’t say anything about it. Mostly my fears surrounded playing soccer, since I was still on a girl's team, but it went fine. By the time I started college in the fall I was being gendered as a boy w/out my involvement. People from before don’t recognize me anymore though. If you have questions feel free to dm me as well

Yeah in a dream world I would’ve started HRT and gone stealth a long time ago. The goal now is to essentially keep presenting as a masc lesbian and start T and then be like “what wym you guys didn’t notice I have a low voice and facial hair a few months ago??”

passing once i came out was easier since i was already seeing effects. harder was living during that time lol, i had to wear sweaters in the 90 degree summer to hide my growing boobs

Okay I’m glad you answered lol cause I had the same question and I was nervous cause that’s what I’m doing rn😭 For me though I just wear loose linen shirts that just make me look mlm gay lol. Way more comfortable in the heat And tbh the way I’ve always held my weight makes it less obvious that there’s new growth there (cause I always held some body fat in my chest anyways). It’s great to know that it’ll make passing easier down the line though!

Thank you🫶🫶🫶 I’m going back to college and it seems like it’s gonna be an accepting environment with lots of queer people so I am set up pretty good actually. I’ll be able to socially transition there significantly easier than I could in my current situation. I’m genuinely optimistic for the first time in a while🥰

yes right now i’m nearly 9mo on T and only out to siblings and friends. I only have one semester of college yet so idk if i should come out to professors and stuff or keep “girlmoding”? effects are getting real obvious sooooo. i think doing this with T was definitely a choice, as i also started right before a semester abroad without telling anyone? but i don’t regret it, i just wish i planned things out a little better. still not sure how to begin full social transition 🙃
