Testosterone: What to Expect Pt. 3: Unexpected Changes

[GunsNRosesTrans]

Great Video. And I realized years ago that I cried when angry. I have not cried once in the last 2 weeks since my T. But I have stood my ground in a way I did not previously. Also I am more outspoken where before I would bottle up 'anger' and allow others to walk over me just to keep the peace. I now SAY what I think and don't FEEL what I think:I let it out instead of keeping it in my gut. Thank for all the other comments. The body hair is something I am not looking forward too.

[snitters12]

these videos help A LOT. do you plan to make more on different topics? they would be extremely valuable to those looking for answers and who are considering undergoing the process themselves.

[iscaylis]

Very informative thank you so much for these vids man... I live in canada wonder if it'll be different.

[Angielyrica]

how much is it to see a therapist?

[hottathenwasabi]

@Angielyrica Depends. Average, it's about 150 or 100 a session.

[Angielyrica]

@hottathenwasabi wow. had no idea. thanks for telling me that.

[hottathenwasabi]

@hottathenwasabi No problem. I'm sure there is some for cheaper but, I'm just going by the rates here in Vegas lol.

[TheGerryjoy]

Great job! A lot of good information there. I've been thinking about taking the T to increase my libido and built more muscles. Thank you.

[Geared4KosenRufu]

Love the series of videos you did on this topic. This is what I've been looking for. The information is very helpful for me and now I feel a little bit more at peace as I think about whether or not to take my transition down the T route. Thanks!!!!

[BonesDGAF021]

i think the "myth" of going gay isn't as mythical as people think. i've never identified as a lesbian, probably because i always knew deep down i was 50% on both sides of the gender spectrum. i used to like boys, then wanted to explore having sex with girls. ended up liking women better, found them more sexually attractive. however without a female body to identify with, i may find myself wanting to be cozy with other guys. i'm a romantic at heart tho, & bio-men generally aren't that sensitive.

[CaptJackSavvy]

@BonesDGAF021- Just need to meet the right guy. My ex was a cisguy and he was quite romantic and a total sweetheart. He is in one of my vids actually.

[shitthisshit]

im gonna try to get some testosterone cause i think that i may be running low could it be because im 85

[moonelestral]

Thanks a lot for making this! It was really informative! good job! I have a better understanding of what to expect if I decide to go through with this ^_^

[CaptJackSavvy]

@moonelestral Thanks for watching! I'm glad you

found it helpful. Good luck with what ever

you decide! :)

[BonesDGAF021]

@moonelestral seek counseling! my gender therapist is free & is the best choice i ever made for myself. he keeps validating my masculinity every time we meet. at first i just thought of myself as gender neutral but we like to talk about the differences between the respect for males in society & lack thereof for females. i am excited to make the income that i deserve, however bigoted the people who are paying me, may be. sometimes you have to play the game to advance in life.

[DenyRage]

greaaaaaat. i already have oodles of pit hair and a teeny unibrow. ima look like robin williams!

[Kaliber1313]

Besides emotional changes, and orientation change (as noted in your video summary), have there been any mental changes you've noticed? As in mental abilities and deficits that seemed to have resulted from testosterone therapy.

Much of the brain is determined at birth, so I'm not particularly expecting there to be much of a change, but would you say there is a change in how objective and subjective you are towards the world?

I am a born male, and I think my T levels are a bit too high. Oh well!

[bunnybuf3291]

awesome video(s) (I watched all 3)

this was so informative, especially in the first video talking about therapy, I am trying to get a therapist now.

[CaptJackSavvy]

I'm glad you found them helpful.

Good luck in your journey! :)

[BonesDGAF021]

@CaptJackSavvy however i'll always prefer english, like the author of "Testosterone Files", a sensitive, poetic type... can't wait 2 board the rollercoaster of transition. hear it's a friggin' party!!!

[badermax]

hey dude! I'm a gay guy and I find you to be absolutely adorable! I don't know why you are surprised at all of these changes after going on T. You just described my entire puberty!! Isn't being a guy great??

[superheroman000]

brilliant mate

[Vulgargore]

I'm new to T treatment and was just wondering what you have injected, i.e. Sustanon? Nebido?

[CaptJackSavvy]

My pharmacy carries cypionate so thats what I use. I have a friend that uses enthanate.

[KellykaLynn]

hahahahaha pants pet!!!!!!

[dpILaurI]

I have hair all over my body, i wonder if there is any medical treatment

[MundoKox]

Eres un ñoño LOL

[CaptJackSavvy]

I'll understand your intent of the word "nono" to mean that I am a dork. This is true and I'm happy being a dork and so will take that as a compliment. :-) So thank you.

[badermax]

ser un nono no es bueno!!!!

[CaptJackSavvy]

Ah, oh well. Everything is subjective anyway.

[BonesDGAF021]

@CaptJackSavvy i expect my anxiety levels will go down a HUGE amount whenever i am being perceived how i feel inside. from the book i am reading, testosterone will change even little things such as my depth perception,& linear thought processes-may make things like math/science less of a challenge & more of an interest/hobby! 

[Foxfulness]

I've watched all three videos now and they've been amazingly informative. Thank you. I'd like to ask you a few questions so I'll send them over PM.

[fugazi0311]

About the thick neck thing. Look at football players or other beefy guys. They almost always have a thick neck. I read that's an effect of testosterone.

[dykeyjesus]

Thanks. This was helpful. Though I have to say...not looking forward the the squirrel I will most likely eventually aquire.

BTW...Is that a keyblade necklace? :D

[CaptJackSavvy]

Yes, be care with the squirrel. :-P

And yes, my keyblade, I love keyblades

:-D.

[ceridawn]

can you tell us more about sexual orientation once a person feels comfortable in their body??

[CaptJackSavvy]

I plan on making a video about sexual orientation vs. gender identity sometime soon when my classes are not kicking my butt. :-P

Stay tuned. :-D

[XXEthanXY]

There might be a squirrel living in my ass crack?!? Oh dear....

[CaptJackSavvy]

Yes, I'm afraid so...be careful, feed him daily or he'll bite you...O_o

[XXEthanXY]

Such a dilemma: enabling something to live in one of my crevices, or having that something bite my crevice out of hunger....

[CaptJackSavvy]

I know, its hard to deal with at first, but you get used to it. Be careful and good luck!

[tonyalva14]

thanks thisa was helpful

[Angielyrica]

he crying thing, i hope i can man up on T because i cry all the time.

[CaptJackSavvy]

I used to cry a lot too. I don't much anymore. Though, just 'cause society says men don't cry doesn't mean its true. You can be a man and cry, so don't fret if you still cry a lot after T.

[Angielyrica]

i noticed that on part 1 of this subject i was like omg

[estourar]

"It's just like a plant, it crawled out of my armpit..."

This brought me well-needed laughter. Great videos! Thanks for sharing.

[CaptJackSavvy]

I'm glad I could make you laugh. Thanks for watching! :-D

[mattiemarvelous]

I HAVE THAT SIHRTT

i love itt!

[Transguy69]

dude thanks for this video . im pre-t and i was confused about all the changes . so thanks so much for this video!

[CaptJackSavvy]

No problem, man! Glad I could help. :-)

[aryanvaryan]

Hey!

Nice vids! Thank yo sooo much :D

I was kinda sad when the vid ended, was entertaining xD

You have an extremely positive vibe to you :-)

[CaptJackSavvy]

Hey. I'm glad you enjoyed the vids! :-)

Thank you for watching. :-D

[acxox]

I'm pre-T, and I've got hair on my inner arms, upper arms, hands/knuckles, and feet/toes. Never really noticed until this video XD Thankfully I have broad shoulders for a girl as well, though I have a skinny neck and wrists, and TINY feet and hands :[

Also, my brother is 13 and is going through puberty now so I'm seeing a lot of things that could happen to me. Feeling quite a bit envious >_>

Anyway, these videos are great, very informative :) I'll be sure to pass them around.

[CaptJackSavvy]

Well thank you! I'm glad I could help. I can't remember if I mentioned it in the vid but your neck gets thicker on T. Quite weird, huh? Good luck in your journey. :-D

[diediemissleguy]

Yup, you did mention that. When I heard that i was like "YAY! :D" Do your wrists get a little thicker too, from muscle or something? :0

Oh, and I just recently came out to my parents, so hopefully I might be able to get a binder from my dad for xmas :)

[CaptJackSavvy]

I haven't noticed any change in my wrists, but you never know. And congrats on coming out! Good luck. :-)

[gothichero123]

thanks this was very helpful and very descriptive and to the point

:)

[CaptJackSavvy]

Thanks. I'm glad they were helpful. :)

[transbadboy]

thanks alot man, these videos really helped me out. I just started taking T and ive been wondering what all the changes were and what was to come and stuff, thanks again.

[porkynix]

Very helpful series. I'm pre-T and your videos widened my scope about testosterone; that it isn't just about voice drops and stuff like that. Thanks!

[CaptJackSavvy]

Thanks for watching, I'm glad I could help. :-)

[4770set]

Dude , you get hair when you take t. Alright already !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[is2late2saveme]

Thanks dude, these three vids really helped me out a lot.

[CaptJackSavvy]

Thats for your replies. Glad I could help. :-)

[HeartlessLink7]

thank you for these 3 videos :]

they were very informative.

[CaptJackSavvy]

No prob. Thanks for watching! :-)

[ollieapril]

thank you for that video

[CaptJackSavvy]

No prob, I am here to help. :-)

[xxOreoKidxx]

Dude sa-weet

awesomeness man

peace

[CaptJackSavvy]

Thanks man.

Be well.

[tysin87]

Thank you for this video, very informative!

[CaptJackSavvy]

You're welcome. Thank you for watching!

[fireboi210]

ok kris, this is codi, thats my comment right underneath but thats not my login, just to let you know to please comment me back on this login

[CaptJackSavvy]

Hey Codi. Unless you're from Boston I don't have any info on doctors that give T. First you need to find a therapist that will see you and give you a letter for T(as I said in part 1 of this video series.) I reccomend going to livejournal and joining some ftm groups and they should have some good info on trans-friendly doctors/therapists. Good luck in your transition.

Peace,

Kris

[c2thaboom]

ok, i am trying to get started on T. could you give me pointers on how to get started and whats a good doc. to get it from. Thanks,

-Codi

[jesseintense]

The Squirrel Effect doesn't sound to appealing LOL!

but seriously, those 3 parts were awesome.

it was great and i loved it all!

cheers man!

- Jesse.

[CaptJackSavvy]

Thanks dude. Good luck in your transition!

[jacoblotcky]

The part where you talked about a squirrel living in your ass was so fucking hilarious. Dude, it's so true! I didn't didn't quite expect the amount of manscaping I had to do, heh

[CaptJackSavvy]

lol, dude yeah. Thanks for watching!

[charlesasher]

great video. i like that you talked about the unexpected changes, gives people a head's up.

[CaptJackSavvy]

Thank you. :-D

[j0rdansayshai]

random comment but i have that shirt!

[CaptJackSavvy]

Then you have good taste in clothes, my friend.

[shhhon]

I love that you mentioned the nearly invisible hairs on the inside of your arms. I hadn't expected that either, and when I tried to bring it up at a local T-brother group, they looked at me like I was insane. Till they experienced it themselves that is, and then they looked at the guy who started before me like he was nuts for NOT noticing it, he's much hairier than me. But maybe that's why he didn't notice... so much elsewhere to distract him LOL

[CaptJackSavvy]

Thanks. Yeah, it was kinda weird, totally didn't expect it. And lol at the guy from your group.

[myownboi]

Awesome set of videos. thanks for sharing your experience. I am preparing to begin my transition and posted my first video this week.

Much Love,

Trey

[CaptJackSavvy]

Thanks, dude. Congrats on beginning your transition! :-)

[quarterduce]

Ohhhh the ass crack squirrel is the WORST!

[CaptJackSavvy]

lol, yeah dude. It just sneaks up on ya.

[neverlookback75]

Yeah and the sad thing about it, is that there is no good position to get rid of it in. And even if you can shave it, that is not the kind of razor burn you want to be experiencing anytime, let alone in the middle of summer!

[CaptJackSavvy]

Yeah, though I've been thinking about trying some Nair...:-P

[neverlookback75]

LoL, you're daring. I've tried that before, just be careful how close you get to the angry starfish...lol. And it will burn, so you definitely may have to shave if you want to get really close to it.

[Tonyuh]

There's all kinds of nair out there and most of the ones I've tried have burned, bad.. obviously nair just singes hair but it really feels like you've put a lighter to yourself for a long time, lol. My fiance uses Nair for Men Speed Cream - 3 Minutes. Silver bottle with blue cap, and it's GREAT. No burning or itching, no bumps or anything. I'm a woman and even use it lol .. this may not help you at all but I wanted to throw that out there =) since you said you've been thinking of trying it.

[CaptJackSavvy]

Thanks! If I decided to try Nair I'll give the Speed Cream a try. Peace!

[ftmgirlfriend]

thank u for anwsering my question babe, im gonna keep watchin coz ya a funny fucker lolxx

[CaptJackSavvy]

lol Anytime. Thank you!

[arawrebirth20]

This is such a funny vid.I was cracking up when you were talking about waking up with a squirrel in your pants and the armpit plant.

I am already experiencing some of these.My girlfriend has thoroughly enjoyed plucking my unibrow lately.

[CaptJackSavvy]

lol Thanks dude. Education+Humour=good in my opinion. I'm glad someone is enjoying the unibrow. ;-D

[jsjadednight]

dude your awesome hehe!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CaptJackSavvy]

Thanks!

[hydenryke]

i love your videos! pretty much every thing you have said "could happen" has happened to me so far, and i am on my 8 weeks. lol. it's all pretty exicting to me.

i watched your 1 year 1 week update and you look great and so does your chest! your chin strap is hawt by the way and i think that you should try a fauxhawk with your hair. =)

take care,

hayden

[CaptJackSavvy]

Congrats on beong on T for 2 months dude. Yeah, it can be exciting. Thanks, I like my chin-strap too, not getting rid of it! :-P I had a fauxhawk before in my "7 months, Bad Mood" video, I believe. I might try it again though. Thanks for watching!

[ftmgirlfriend]

i used to many character so eres part 2

every1... but did u go throught that. i hope i have worded it ok, i have not come across rude. coz im not rude, well only sometimes wink wink ;-)lol. anyways big kiss from london england baby YEH!!!!!XXXX

[CaptJackSavvy]

Hello,

I get this question a lot. I never identified as lesbian. For a short time I IDed as Bi, but I ALWAYS liked guys. Which is one of the reasons It toook me so long to transition 'cause I didn't know that I could be a gay guy. Thank you for your question. And thanks for watching! :-)

[neverlookback75]

My bf always identified as gay once he figured out that that didn't mean he had to be a girl. I think it's tougher for the gay ftm's because they feel the need to appear masculine, but generally being gay means being somewhat effeminate.

I think it's sad that in some cases gay ftm's are looked down on by other ftm's who were lesbian and then transitioned and are straight men.

[CaptJackSavvy]

Yeah, it kinda sucks but gay/bi ftms are becoming more and more common/open, so we're making progress. :-D!

[shhhon]

here here!

[ftmgirlfriend]

i almost pee lol, ur so funny. i just wanted to ask..... hmmm this is hard 2 word. so HMM im just gonna throw it out there..... do u fancy guys now ? or have u always ?. ok, i asked the question. coz i no some guys who are transition,and they have started to fancy guys. but b4 the transition they classed them self as lesbain. and i just wondered ... does t change you in that way. i no u cant anwser 4

[AlbertPoeMM07]

Those were fantastic videos!

[CaptJackSavvy]

Why thank you! :-)

[lebsoljah]

were you a girl before?

[CaptJackSavvy]

I was female-bodied, yes.

[TayAlexander]

Thanks again for these videos! really helpfull. :)!! wooo necklace! lol.

[CaptJackSavvy]

:-) Thanks dude, I'm glad I could be of some help.

[figtus]

Good to be prepared for the hair! I can't wait to start T.

[CaptJackSavvy]

Yes, the hair! lol Good luck with your transition!
