A Whole Quarter

It's been a whole quarter of a year! That being said, this year is kinda shitty so there's that. Transition is weird. It's different for every person. I feel like there seems to be more variance in FTM than that of MTF. I know what will happen but everyone seems to grow in different ways at different speeds. This last month, for example, I have grown so much facial and body hair! I mean, the acne that comes with it sucks, but for now it just means the hair is growing and I cannot complain about that lol. Along with hair came my voice drop. I have had my long-term (15 years) best friend say "Quinn? I just had to double check I called the right person because you sound COMPLETELY different," and it's only been about a month since we talked on the phone haha. I made the realization I really prefer he/him pronouns and masculine terms. I have come to terms with the fact that I will want some sort of bottom surgery in the future and that is exciting and terrif...

We Vibin': 1 month

Firstly, Yeah I said that and I am 28 years old. Come at me. After that last update, not a lot happened throughout the week. I have had some irritation from what I assume is my body yelling at me for sweating more in my armpits. This is fun and itchy and requires I wipe down my armpits and air them out at least once a day. It's gotten better as I am writing this, but could get worse before the end of the post. (I am updating this often so I don't forget things, as that is the point.) My second shot went really well. It also didn't hurt or bruise or anything. I spent a good hour in front of the mirror afterwards staring at myself and dancing. I have found I feel stronger, as to whether I am or not is up for debate. I feel more chilled out and less emotional now, which is really a relief. I have been able to let things slide easier. I have also noticed less rage when I drive. Surprising since I have always been a fairly aggressive driver. My style has been an ever chang...

Testosterone is a Hell of a Drug: 0 months

Testosterone. So many things I have been worried about with starting T. I have thought about this on and off for years. What I first found with my FB post that stated " Today I start a whole new journey! I have a few hours till I officially learn how to stab myself with testosterone! The excitement I had knowing I was going to the doctor today was ridiculous!" is that my friends all seemed to not only be INSANELY supportive and amazing, but also all were like "I know you've wanted this for so long so I'm happy for you!" Seems like I was the only one who didn't know.  January 17, 2019. This is my T-aversary! I went to the doctor, talked about all the weird other things she had to legally tell me, picked up all my stuff, and was ready to shoot myself up! She started me on 50 mg/ml once a week subcutaneously . The shot was super easy for me. I was nervous but it really was nothing. I felt light headed about an hour after, like my brain was like "What...

Chronicles of a Queer Kid

Hey ya'll! I'm Quinn. I have not always been known as Quinn. In fact, I spent over 27 years being known as a completely different person. Not only was I known as that person, I lived and breathed that person. I made myself be that person. Kind of exhausting. I am a queer, non-binary human who also identifies transgender, pansexual, demisexual, and monogamous. In case you were curious. If you found this page looking for information on the transition of a non-binary person, You are in luck! I will preface everything with the fact that each transition is individual. Some people go on hormones, some don't. Some people change their names, some don't. There are a gambit of things you can do in your transition and for me, this is my experience. There aren't a ton of truly non-binary people who document transition from what I have found and thus, here I am. Background info is being held here, cause I said so and because I felt like I couldn't just jump into my med...
