Title: Seeming to pass more and more
Post by: kestin on December 31, 2008, 04:22:46 PM
First of Happy New Year everybody! Though, for some around the world I guess its not quite there yet XD Cool thing bout being in New Zealand is that we get their first lol

Neway, I recently did a trip with my Dad through the lower South Island, driving from Christchurch to Mt. Cook, Wanaka, Queenstown, Te Anau, Milford Sounds and back up through Gore, Alexandra and the East Coast back to Christchurch.

Pretty much the whole time I was viewed as a guy, or I assumed I was because guys were always referring to me as "Mate" which I pretty much never got as a girl (even though its generally considered a gender-neutral term)

Because of this I used the mens room the entire trip XD which turned out fine... no problems. Its been good having this as practice XD the only annoying part was that I sometimes had to wait for stalls to open up and when there were loads of free urinals... so I definitely want to invest in a STP sometime soon.

My Dad said that when we were in Queenstown (tourist capitol of NZ) about three guys who he perceived to be gay (one rather so) had checked me out... of which I was completely oblivious to lol.

So I put myself in the 'not completely sure but I'll assume your a dude' place in transition. That being said, I heard its a good sign when gay blokes are starting to notice you? XD

In other news, I just did my fourth self injection earlier, however it was my first time without a nurse present. Still had to psyche myself up for about five minutes but it went through without a hitch.

My family (or the ones who weren't too receptive in the begining) seem to be getting used to things, the only one still with a bit of a problem is my older sister, but she does say that she's only concerned about my welfare so I suppose it all stems from somewhere good.

I am so happy for you.  I know how that feels.  And I am very amazed and glad for all my FtM friends who find that "passing" comes very easily, after being on "T" for a while.

I mean the facial hair is a great thing for them, that enables then to pass so0 well.


But even if not facial hair, they also pass so well.  I am so envious.

Just judging by your new avatar pic, your face has definately become more masculine in shape  ;D so that is probably helping tons.

Wow kool, I am starting T soon I can't wait for this to happen for me too!!
I am starting on oral T though (Andriol)  so will probably take a little longer than it would take on injectables or so I've heard but I dunno anyway I may switch to injectables or gel eventually, although I have heard the gel takes a little longer too.

Yeah the old c17 oral testosterone was majorly bad news for the liver but Andriol is testosterone undecanoate and is apparently perfectly safe.  It is the only effective and safe oral T on the market.
