I can’t bring myself to start hrt Anonymous 17-09-25 16:27:47 No.4149

There’s so many things that seemingly make it impossible for me to start hrt.

I have an extreme phobia of needles. It’s genuinely ruining my life. I know that there’s other forms of hrt that aren’t injections, but either way I would still need to use a needle on myself to do blood tests.

And then there’s the effects hrt has on the genitals. I would love every effect of hrt if it wasn’t for the effects it has on genitalia. I know using it will prevent atrophy, but it still won’t prevent my balls from shriveling up and the dck from shrinking. I don’t have bottom dysphoria and my genitals are one of the few parts of my body that I don’t actively hate.

And lastly, I’m afraid I’ll miss out on the experiwnce of being a gay guy. I’ve never been in a relationship as a man, but mlm relationships seem to be much more loving and deeper than straight relationships are. I’m scared I’ll never experience true love with a straight man if I transitioned to being a woman. (Especially since many men who want to date trans women are just chasers)

All of this shit just piles up to make me feel too much fear and anxiety to start hrt. I don’t know what to do

>needle phobia
I think there's clinics you can go to for a professional to do it, so it'd be the same procedure as getting a vaccine. I know a few people that got over their needle phobia thanks to HRT usage making them normal.
>effects on genitals
There's a type of testosterone creme you can use to keep the penis normal without effecting the rest of your body too much. That's how trans sex workers do it.
>I’m scared I’ll never experience true love with a straight man if I transitioned to being a woman.
T4T then? What you're observing is just generally common among queer folks, not just cisgays. See if you can get with trans man.

>it’d be the same procedure as getting a vaccine
Well, I haven’t been able to get vaccines either. I’m overdo for my last two vaccinations, and I’ve tried multiple appointments to try again at getting them for both. However Everytime I just break down into a panic attack.

>testosterone creme
As in topical testosterone? I’ve heard a lot of conflicting things about them whenever I researched it. Mostly I saw people say that all it does is help prevent atrophy but it doesn’t stop the other side effects. Then again, I’ve never heard from anybody who actually uses topical testosterone directly.

>t4t
Yeah you’re probably right about that. I just don’t tend to see a lot about trans guys online lol
