I am wondering if there are any people on this site that are non binary or Male and agender that have chosen to transition and why?
I am Male/agender and i want to take T
but i sometimes worry about it even though i am still going for it.
because i am male/agender i worry about messing up.
so i want to hear others stories?

Hi again. Not sure if I'll be repeating myself but here's my experiences. I don't feel like a female at all and never have done. The dysphoria is crippling if someone refers to me as such. It makes me incredibly happy when someone refers to me as male because I mostly feel male with a tiny bit of agender mixed in. I also prefer for my face to look masculine; so that people gender me as male and because I feel I look like myself. My old female face was alien to me. I also want facial hair which I can't get unless I'm on T and am enjoying how much more muscular I now look.
These reasons outweigh the cons of not going on T. I'll still be able to grow my hair out longer, wear fem clothes and wear jewelry if I'm having more of an agender day. I don't know if I want to be on T forever; but right now it's making me far happier than before and my dysphoria is now almost non existant as my brain is finally running on the right hormones. It's amazing to feel my brain no longer fogged up by the constant drone of feeling dysphoric.

Also no periods are a bonus ;)
They/them pronouns preferred.

I did hrt and GRS. I've always wondered what being a woman felt like. I didn't want to die not knowing.
Have you read my short story The Eve of Triumph?

I'm agender and on T,  although when I first came out as ftm.  I've been on T for 8 months now and not considering stopping any time soon.  I'm hella feminine but revel in my new voice and potential to grow a Salvador Dali mo. I feel a lot more comfortable now wearing feminine clothes (even skirts)  than when I first started t and was still being read as female,  now people just see me as a confusion which is great[emoji14]Although some changes from T are more permanent than others, you could always look to start it and then stop later if you discover it's not for you.  Like Tyler Ford, they were on T for a period of time.

im a female/agender, I thought about taking E, but I've researched bio female and hormones, bio males and hormones, trans females with hormones, trans males with hormones, I've decided I don't want the changes it does, and that I don't need E to be me.

I'm non-binary and almost a year on T (and now a week post-op top surgery) and I couldn't be happier. For years I felt unsettled and out of place. I desperately wanted hormones and at the same time I was terrified of what they might do to me. Immediately after starting T I was ify and scared and depressed and almost stopped, fast forward a month later and I felt so much more like me.
I honestly haven't met any other non-binary people who medically transitioned in person and it is hard to explain to my family. My mom, partner, and two friends are the only people i think fully understand, but everyone is trying and I'm happy which is the most important.
And now I can rock suits and dresses. ^-^

Thanks for sharing, yea i'm sure that feels awesome i kinda can't wait myself because right now i don't want to wear a dress and i probably never will but some feminine things i like and i can't wait till i can pull that off but while i look good and feel comfortable. :) So i can relate to that part or at least i hope in the future i can.

I identify as a non-binary demiboy, and I just started testosterone. I have my consultation for top surgery in two weeks. I never once felt like a female, and have always identified more with the masculine side of things. However, I don't like conforming to gender binaries, and I don't feel like there's really a binary that fits me, so I'm non-binary, and partly male, so demi-boy best fits my description. ^-^ my dysphoria has always been pretty hard to manage and deal with, and I've found that with transitioning, it's helped quite a bit. I don't regret anything, I don't feel like I've messed up. I also wear makeup occasionally, as well as some feminine things. I don't conform to gender roles at all , and I'm happy that way :)
Started testosterone on June 2nd 2016
Top surgery consultation on June 17th 2016
Top surgery projected for Summer of 2017 with Dr. Sassani

Literally a crazy dog man. 6 dogs and counting, my little herding dog pack.

That's good to hear, i can't wait to try T myself my fears are sneaking back around the corner but mostly because my anxiety has been high today. I'm sure everything will work out okay for me in the end and i can relate in some ways to what you said sense i have a agender side of me and a feminine side but i am a male.

That must have been nice for that fear to finally go away did it go away instantly and T just sort of helped you out? And if you don't mind me asking with being non binary and taking T did you still feel  non binary or more male?
Sorry if that's confusing i don't think that wording was the best but i can't think of how to say it.

I'll say it wasn't instantaneous. The first month (because my hormone levels were all wacky and trying to readjust) was overall eeeeh. But yes, T helped me tremendously. I feel like myself more than ever before now that my hormones are all adjusted and settled.

I still feel non-binary (interesting question though, no one's ever asked that). I will say I feel more balanced now. Being AFAB I always felt too feminine and now I feel just right. I always told myself before I started HRT that I'd stop if I progressed too far down the masculine road but now that I'm on T, I'm so happy in my head and that fear of being too masculine has vanished. Content is the best word I can think of to describe if.
