   @tattie Poison for me, lifesaving medicine for others. I totally get that.

     @Tweetfiction @tattie If it'd been a fair choice for me at the time, I'd have preferred an estrogenic puberty. Now, it's not poison for me, per se, but I do have to do things to cope with what it's done to me.

     @Tweetfiction @tattie Oh, yeah, you were just fine. I was just joining in with my own feelings as a tranfeminine enby who is choosing transition without HRT. Actually "I survived testosterone poisoning and now must clean up the mess" is not too inaccurate. I'm also at an age where my testosterone is in decline anyway.

     @roadriverrail
     So, I had originally shared those memes that were like, " survived testosterone poisoning" before I considered how trans masc and NB folks felt about that. Now I stick that it's poison to me and has irreparably damaged me, but one woman's poison is definitely another man's medicine, yeah?

     @Tweetfiction @tattie I'm 44 and honestly I don't even know my T level. But I didn't lose my hair and I'm probably old enough that my body hair isn't still coming in. HRT won't fix my voice or my body hair, won't make my shoulders less broad, will probably mess up my fitness, and might give me boobs larger than the A cup I already have (which is all I want). I'm short, stout, and already have some curves...the impacts and risks are too high relative to what I'd get.

     @roadriverrail 💗 💗 💗

     You'd THINK I'd have that problem at 46! But it's being a bit stubborn. We'll get rid of it one way or another. LOL
