I thought this was gonna be a vid about some guys random failed attempt to get buff, but then I got all happy w fuzzy feelings inside, best of luck to you man:)
Hey, now that you are taking steroids you should take advantage of that and train to become a bodybuilder! Eat more and train for many reps and sets. With a little more calories in your diet you could become huge! :D (would take 2 or 3 years of consistent training)
Good for you! I am happy to see that this has worked well for you! I think you should leave up these hateful comments, it is a testament to how ignorant the uninformed majority can be about these treatments or these drugs.
i accidentally came across this video whilst amusing myself with videos of idiots abusing steroids. (carrot top is terrifying) but having watched the vid through, I'll say I'm glad you're happy with your decision and hope the rest of your transition goes well.
Kudos, a young lady takes T at work and developed a more muscular broader frame as well, I'm sure you did your research on the side effects but honestly you can't fake a smile like that. I'm happy for you ^_^ and to PS3MVP, body and facial hair is a genetic trait, I myself can grow a very thick gotee and muttenchops but the rest doesn't grow in... you may not be one of the lucky ones who spends all there money and time in the bathroom shaving haha
@eddie4ya2000 Oh yes, lots of research went into my decision, and it's all medically supervised. I haven't had negative side effects. My dosage is much less than what your average body builder takes. You're quite right, I spend almost no time shaving, I just let it grow and have a pretty bushy beard right now. There are a couple of areas that need to grow in more, but I can see it's coming along. Shaving's for chumps!! ;)
I couldnt help but notice in a couple of your shots ...and maybe it was the angle of the camera or what not..but your left arm is a bit bigger than your right arm...maybe when you are working out you are over compensating?? Just an observation...only you can tell since it is just a video image :)
@eddotheshrew Good observation, you're right! My left arm is bigger. I think it's because of a "deformity" I have in my right pec. My right arm has always been weaker despite being right handed.
this is such a great video and love that you have been able to embrace yourself. Love Love Love doesnt even begin to describe the emotion that i have for you right now. best of luck.
The "by seven months"...so happy for you and the decision you made. Wow, that was a real shock- the therapy really kicked in by then, and I think you are exactly who you need to be now. And now go have a lifetime of it...
@transoutlaw "The term narcotic (pronunciation: /nɑrˈkɑːtɨk/, from Greek narkō, “Ι benumb”) originally referred medically to any psychoactive compound with any sleep-inducing properties. In the United States of America [...]" they use words however the hell they want.
me being pedantic has nothing to do with your person or anything, so good luck with your transition.
it's 2 years now from when you shot this video, i hope you're doing well and get where you want to get.
Wow, that's quite a dramatic transformation from only testosterone!!! That must have taken immense dedication and a hard training program, you will be my inspiration when I hit the gym next time!
i think if ur happier now then u were bfor, then u made the right decision, everyone is diff n thinks about things differently, thats wat makes everyone so unique/diff. frm each other. no one elses response to this video matters, only ur own.
I'm glad you followed your heart and are happier now. This question might seem stupid or whatever, but I noticed in the video that the testosterone didn't change the size of your nipples. Did you have the surgery to change your genitals? Is there a surgery that changes the size of nipples to be more like the size of a man's nipples?
@sweetievee83 Testosterone doesn't significantly reduce breast tissue. The photos used in this video show my chest after my first surgery. I then had another surgery within the year to further reduce the size of the areola. (The nipples were reduced in the first surgery, most people don't know the difference between areola and nipple.) My chest looks perfectly normal, with very minimal scars that are nicely hidden by a lot of chest hair. I go topless all summer long.
@sweetievee83 (ps. For a variety of reasons, I've chosen not to discuss genital surgeries here. It's not the right place for it, and I tend to reserve that topic for conversations with people I know and trust, or other trans people seeking information.)
no one can control who they are i think it is a bold brave step to do what you have done i just pissed off at you for 1 reason....i was born a male and u got more facial hair than me! lol :) AND I AM 21!
@PS3MVP Beards do take time. I'm close to 4 years on T and my chin still has some patchy zones. It may just be a matter of time, and it may also be genetic. Not all men can grow beards. Look at the men in your family and you'll get a pretty good indication of what kind of beard you'll be able to grow.
Congratulations! It was genuinely heartwarming to watch this video. You being able to externally blossom into the person you always felt you were on the inside is something to be inspired by. It's a little bit like watching someone who was born deaf or blind being able to hear of see for the first time. It's a little sad that so many don't feel the same.
does anyone question your gender now? your voice is deep now? you are now a extraordinary average 30 year old man?
I cant imagine what it must have been like to have GID. God bless ya and im glad music was always there for you. its always there for me in the hardtimes life offers us. amazing what a guitar can do ehhh?
@DrumNBum Thanks! My gender isn't questioned. I've been on T for close to 4 yrs, my voice is deep, I have a beard, and more muscle than plenty of other guys I know. All is good. While my transition has been a success it hasn't been easy, and if I had a choice I would have been born simply male, but I can't deny that the experience has shaped who I am, and I rather like that person. (And, agreed about guitars!)
@nmaster89 Wow, you are afraid of me. It blows my mind how afraid people are of each other these days... Maybe you could get a therapist and work your issues out.
@transoutlaw hey, got here from some bb vids, you know ;-) watched your vid more than once, GREAT! what dosage do you use and after this long time do you have sideeffects?
@pickelamarsch Thanks! I sometimes tweak my dosage a bit, I'm currently taking 170mg every two weeks. The highest dose I was on was 200mg. This is the maximum recommended by my endocrinologist, though every body is different and some guys do better with a little more. No side effects really, other than the ones I wanted. I did have some acne for a bit but that was gone after a year or so. (I'm more than 3.5 years on T now.)
@transoutlaw I don't know how anybody could be afraid of you, unless they are afraid of their own sexuality. I think all people on this planet should have the freedom to express themselves for who, and what, they are; provided its does not hinder the well-being of others.
@imawhiteboy4eva I don't live in the US but I see that you do. Your assumption that I'm American shows your skewed US-centric world view, and that is one of the reasons people laugh at America.
@transoutlaw I don't even know what this guy said, I'm sure it was quite ignorant if he automatically assumed you were from the United States. But the people who "laugh at America" are no better than the very Americans they laugh at. It is out of complete stupidity that some people have to judge a whole nation based on simple minded stereotypes about that country. Or about the few Americans they actually meet or see on television. I hope you're not one of those people.
@tomsnegirev I really doubt that you "don't hate on a lot of things". I can tell that you hate Spell Check and punctuation. I bet you hate a person's right to chose. And if you're religious enough to believe that God hates homosexuals or transgenders, then you should probably capitalize the word God.
nice...so are you happier now..??? i hope so.. and for all the haters en religious fanatics, its the new millenium, get your asses out of the darkages.. and BEHOLD the POWER of modern medicine...(dumbasses)
@sl8chter1 Yes, I'm happier. Transitioning is no walk in the park, it takes incredible resilience, but it's been the best decision of my life. Sometimes I wish I'd known that I had options sooner, but at the same time I'm not sure it would have gone as smoothly if I'd done this in my 20s. (btw, your comment made me fist pump, thanks!)
@IPhoneHungry I take a regular series of photos and post them on my blog. (I used to do this monthly, now it's about twice a year.) It's pretty cool to see how things changed, especially over the first 2 years, but I wish I'd taken a photo every day and made a flip book.
@StoneHardFitness Actually it can be very inspirational what some people do to themselves in this world and this circumstance happens to be one of them. @TransOutLaw I commend you on your bravery, congratulations and I wish you all the very best.
@Mangobrain82 Please watch the video again. I fully explain that in the annotations. I don't understand why people jump to incorrect conclusions or can't read...
@transoutlaw No people generally turn off annotations cause people bitch for likes, comments, sub and to watch more videos. Even then your annotation doesn't define macho anyway
@transoutlaw I know the conventional stereotype but it changes from person to person. And to turn off annotations is right next to the 240[ the little red box
I think what you have achieved so far is great. You look way better. Real good. Your plan is obvisouly medically supervised. You should say that. There is a lot of difference in medically supervised steroid use and the no necks in the gym using steroids. Keep up the great work. Be blessed.
@tomharrell1954 Thank you! Yes, this is medically supervised, absolutely. You can't get through this process without a team of doctors. Plus, I've gained extensive medical knowledge.
I think you're are pride of your results... I can only imagine the courage and the energy you had to cope this transition. At last you managed and now you're a good looking guy... Good work, enjoy a happier life.
OK, when I first saw this, I thought some prick was using testosterone to help with their bodybuilding (I was looking up exercise vids). As a natural bodybuilder, I really get annoyed at steroid use in the gym, but when I saw what this vid was actually about, I just have to say good for you! People should be who they want to be.
@dionkar336 Steroids is annoying, but there is negative affects with everything, such as liver and kidney complications. So be happy you are not on roids.
@awhoergek yeah, they could easily do what they do with injections only, it's not like eating on a schedule or spending 30 hours a week in a gym are a big deal, anyone could do that :P
Congratulations on finding the key to your happiness. I mean no disrespect when I say that I could see the GID in the earlier pics. I think a lot of it was in your choice of style, and the way you carried yourself. (I.E. the longer hair, and fairly gender neutral clothing) I could see a definite transformation in the time-lapse photos. The upper torso filled out, as did the facial musculature. Did you work out during this, or was this all from the T?
@transoutlaw "That is a myth about testosterone supplementation."
It's a myth about testosterone, and I believe that's what I said. I use the term "men" interchangeably with "the presence of testosterone" because for all intents and purposes it's true and it's more convenient.
I know you didn't say men were aggressive, macho, and insensitive. I know you were using it in the contest of testosterone suppliments. I'm actually supporting you.
@transoutlaw greetings from holland, let me say, as a born man, you are now a good looking man, but you can see you are sensitive and somewhat nerdy/geeky even, not a jock-type or metal-type, but a man nonetheless, so good for you!
@iskyandar Sensitive, yeah I probably am, I'm OK with that. I think the world would be better off with a few more sensitive men. Nerdy/geeky, a bit I guess, not ashamed of that either, my nerdy qualities make me money. I may surprise you on the jock and metal types though: I'm a huge baseball fan and love old 70s metal. (Sabbath!!) This vid's a couple of years old, I look a somewhat different now, thicker with a beard.
i ask myself how can you find out that you are in the wrong body / have the wrong gender but actually DO NOT KNOW anything about what a man or a woman actually is and how they socially act?
aggressive and insensitive.... that`s pathetic, i tell you.
@freakguitar1 Wow, my video really upset you. I'm sorry you didn't understand or read my previous comments about this... I don't believe men are aggressive and insensitive. That's a myth about testosterone supplementation. I have more insight into gender and how it relates to social behavior than you will ever have.
@transoutlaw Thanks for that, that basically answers my questions. Coming from the perspective of a weightlifter, I can't help but feel that muscularity has been forever associated with aggression. It also seems that testosterone has been defamed as the aggression hormone. If this were true, then professional body builders would effectively be caged animals, since they typically take 100-500 times the amount of testosterone an normal adult male would produce in a week.
@trollerderby Thanks for your comments. Hormonal *imbalances* can cause mood and personality changes, and even aggression, but this is certainly not limited to testosterone. (Think: menopause.)
@transoutlaw Absolutely, and that has been my experience as well, the guys that are heavy on the gear exhibit behaviors very similar to my mother, who has had a rough time with hot flashes and menopause in general. I still think my mom is scarier than the silverbacks at the gym though :P
@transoutlaw I thought about our exchange the other day, and a professors brought up a good point, one I hadn't thought of. He is trans himself, and he explained that during his experiences and research in the community it was clear that the requirements for a GID diagnosis were forcing people to act hyper-masculine to match the symptoms as laid out in a the diagnostic manuals. I mentioned your video, and he seemed pleased to hear that you're breaking the hegemony. Kudos.
@trollerderby What your prof says has been true. For instance, gay trans men can have a harder time accessing services, for not being "masculine enough." However, the requirements for the diagnosis are changing. The language of the new DSM will state that it can be applied to people who identify with a gender *other than their assigned gender* as opposed to the opposite gender. This will be helpful for those who may not fit he perfect stereotypes of male/female.
@freakguitar1 ps. Hey, you're a pretty good guitar player! I love that in your latest video you're wearing a T-shirt that says "We Love Transitions." How very appropriate.
@maverickedgar I don't think "at heart". At heart, he will always be a man. As for DNA, chromosomes, etc, yes he will always be female in that aspect. But that doesn't matter. As long as he is happy with himself as a man, that's all that matters.
@futurejockey8 I've never had genetic testing (who has?) so none of us can say for certain how my chromosomes are lined up, but I appreciate your supportive comment!
I'll never understand it because I've never wanted to be anything but me. A bit tomboyish when young and a bit of a rough around the edges lady now that I'm older but I've always felt comfortable in my gender. Glad you feel happier now though. It's got to be hard to find out that you aren't quite like the others growing up.

@IPhoneHungry I take a regular series of photos and post them on my blog. (I used to do this monthly, now it's about twice a year.) It's pretty cool to see how things changed, especially over the first 2 years, but I wish I'd taken a photo every day and made a flip book.

Guy below is an asshole but one thing got to me about this. Are "aggresive" and "macho" stereotypes that women have for men? Define macho please.
Mangobrain82 2 months ago
@Mangobrain82 Please watch the video again. I fully explain that in the annotations. I don't understand why people jump to incorrect conclusions or can't read...
transoutlaw 2 months ago
@transoutlaw No people generally turn off annotations cause people bitch for likes, comments, sub and to watch more videos. Even then your annotation doesn't define macho anyway
schulze3 2 months ago
@schulze3 Ah I didn't know annotations could be turned off.
If you want definitions for "stereotypes that women have for men," you'll have to ask a woman.
transoutlaw 2 months ago
@transoutlaw I know the conventional stereotype but it changes from person to person. And to turn off annotations is right next to the 240[ the little red box

I think what you have achieved so far is great. You look way better. Real good. Your plan is obvisouly medically supervised. You should say that. There is a lot of difference in medically supervised steroid use and the no necks in the gym using steroids. Keep up the great work. Be blessed.

kevinbarredo 2 months ago 3
OK, when I first saw this, I thought some prick was using testosterone to help with their bodybuilding (I was looking up exercise vids). As a natural bodybuilder, I really get annoyed at steroid use in the gym, but when I saw what this vid was actually about, I just have to say good for you! People should be who they want to be.

Congratulations on finding the key to your happiness. I mean no disrespect when I say that I could see the GID in the earlier pics. I think a lot of it was in your choice of style, and the way you carried yourself. (I.E. the longer hair, and fairly gender neutral clothing) I could see a definite transformation in the time-lapse photos. The upper torso filled out, as did the facial musculature. Did you work out during this, or was this all from the T?

@transoutlaw "That is a myth about testosterone supplementation."
It's a myth about testosterone, and I believe that's what I said. I use the term "men" interchangeably with "the presence of testosterone" because for all intents and purposes it's true and it's more convenient.
I know you didn't say men were aggressive, macho, and insensitive. I know you were using it in the contest of testosterone suppliments. I'm actually supporting you.

@transoutlaw greetings from holland, let me say, as a born man, you are now a good looking man, but you can see you are sensitive and somewhat nerdy/geeky even, not a jock-type or metal-type, but a man nonetheless, so good for you!
iskyandar 2 months ago
@iskyandar Sensitive, yeah I probably am, I'm OK with that. I think the world would be better off with a few more sensitive men. Nerdy/geeky, a bit I guess, not ashamed of that either, my nerdy qualities make me money. I may surprise you on the jock and metal types though: I'm a huge baseball fan and love old 70s metal. (Sabbath!!) This vid's a couple of years old, I look a somewhat different now, thicker with a beard.
transoutlaw 2 months ago
i ask myself how can you find out that you are in the wrong body / have the wrong gender but actually DO NOT KNOW anything about what a man or a woman actually is and how they socially act?
aggressive and insensitive.... that`s pathetic, i tell you.
freakguitar1 2 months ago
@freakguitar1 Wow, my video really upset you. I'm sorry you didn't understand or read my previous comments about this... I don't believe men are aggressive and insensitive. That's a myth about testosterone supplementation. I have more insight into gender and how it relates to social behavior than you will ever have.
transoutlaw 2 months ago 13
@transoutlaw Thanks for that, that basically answers my questions. Coming from the perspective of a weightlifter, I can't help but feel that muscularity has been forever associated with aggression. It also seems that testosterone has been defamed as the aggression hormone. If this were true, then professional body builders would effectively be caged animals, since they typically take 100-500 times the amount of testosterone an normal adult male would produce in a week.
trollerderby 2 months ago
@trollerderby Thanks for your comments. Hormonal *imbalances* can cause mood and personality changes, and even aggression, but this is certainly not limited to testosterone. (Think: menopause.)
transoutlaw 2 months ago
@transoutlaw Absolutely, and that has been my experience as well, the guys that are heavy on the gear exhibit behaviors very similar to my mother, who has had a rough time with hot flashes and menopause in general. I still think my mom is scarier than the silverbacks at the gym though :P
trollerderby 2 months ago
@transoutlaw I thought about our exchange the other day, and a professors brought up a good point, one I hadn't thought of. He is trans himself, and he explained that during his experiences and research in the community it was clear that the requirements for a GID diagnosis were forcing people to act hyper-masculine to match the symptoms as laid out in a the diagnostic manuals. I mentioned your video, and he seemed pleased to hear that you're breaking the hegemony. Kudos.
trollerderby 2 months ago
@trollerderby What your prof says has been true. For instance, gay trans men can have a harder time accessing services, for not being "masculine enough." However, the requirements for the diagnosis are changing. The language of the new DSM will state that it can be applied to people who identify with a gender *other than their assigned gender* as opposed to the opposite gender. This will be helpful for those who may not fit he perfect stereotypes of male/female.

@maverickedgar I don't think "at heart". At heart, he will always be a man. As for DNA, chromosomes, etc, yes he will always be female in that aspect. But that doesn't matter. As long as he is happy with himself as a man, that's all that matters.

I'll never understand it because I've never wanted to be anything but me. A bit tomboyish when young and a bit of a rough around the edges lady now that I'm older but I've always felt comfortable in my gender. Glad you feel happier now though. It's got to be hard to find out that you aren't quite like the others growing up.
