Never ending shots
I feel like no one really talks about how exhausting and frustrating it is to have to do these shots for the rest of my life.
They warn you that if you wanna be on testosterone you’ll have to keep doing the shots forever, and before starting HRT it’s a no brainer. And still is—of course it’s worth it. But now that it’s been 6 years giving myself a T shot isn’t liberating anymore, it’s an annoying reminder that all this doesn’t come naturally. It almost feels like I could forget I was trans if it weren’t for this biweekly reminder. And that just comes down to me still struggling to be happy in my trans skin instead of hopelessly wishing I was cis forever, but does anyone else relate to this?
All I can really do is the same thing I do for bottom surgery which is hope that the science evolves within my lifetime to make things a little bit easier. But I’m thinking ab all this bc I’ve started to get my period on and off when im late with the shots, which has been an even worse reminder, but I just wish I could live my life and not have to worry about giving myself constant shots.
