   scared testosterone is going to take away my lesbianism

   "Testosterone has been really amazing for me and i don’t regret taking it at all. i feel more secure in my body and infinitely more comfortable with myself. ill be hitting a year soon and im excited to see what happens next. but recently, I’ve been worried that the longer I’m on t, the further I get from my identity as a lesbian.
   
   i know im a lesbian. I’d be fine accepting I’m a transhet guy but thats simply not how i feel and i know being thought of and seen as a guy makes me as miserable as being thought of as a woman, or at least really disconnected. what im afraid of is other lesbians not recognising me because they see me as a het man, of lesbians not really liking me, of not being able to relate to other lesbians any more and being left out of that. i see a lot of talk about lesbianism and its relation to this special experience of womanhood and the expectations placed on you for it and i understand it but i'm afraid of a time coming where i dont or worse, i know i do but no other lesbian can see that in me.
   
   It doesnt help that i want some form of bottom surgery in the future and while i completely reject that genitals equal gender or who you can be, sometimes i feel like me wanting that is something wrong with me and again, im afraid ill be excluded from other lesbians. I have a wonderful partner who is also a lesbian on t and completely supports me so i dont feel completely alone but its something im still struggling with. i just want to feel confident in myself as a lesbian again.
   
   Is anyone else going through this? Any tips?"

   "I’ve been on t for 8 days now (was also infrequently taking some t gel from my bf about for about three weeks before this but not enough for a consistent dose) and down below just randomly really hurt? it’s not consistent and i wonder if its the t, especially since it happened immediately after my second shot. im not sure if its too early for bottom growth pains or atrophy? would love some opinions on this."

     @AnungIkwe @Lady_Penelope Hasn't got a Cult attached to it, I guess. They seem to need the adulation of other cult members.

     @Lady_Penelope She had more sense when she first got on Reddit. The cult is working on her.

     @AnungIkwe @Lady_Penelope If they simply are seeking drugs which make them feel like stronger, more confident Lesbians, surely there are alternatives to T?

     @RadicalCartoons @Lady_Penelope Cocaine wouldn't shorten their life spans as much as T.

     @AnungIkwe That poor woman, I hope she sees sense before she gets vaginal atrophy.

     @RadicalCartoons @AnungIkwe @Lady_Penelope It's sad, but some people cannot be helped.
