I just recently came out of telling a good friend how I feel about her. She doesn't know that I dress, and in all honesty if things had gone liked I hoped, I don't think she would have reacted well to me dressing anyways.
In the midst of all this, being extremely depressed, I purged for the first time in many years. In actuality, it is probably the first real purge because I threw out clothes, wigs, makeup and shoes for the first time ever.
Now I've bought many of things back, and plan on re-establishing my "other" self, with even a possibly name change, but in the whole process I've also thought about another thing.
If I could take a pill to be born again a female, I would in a heartbeat. If I could take a pill now to just be my male self and not feel this way, I would in a heartbeat as well (first choice to be born again, second choice to not feel this way) We have all heard there is no "cure" for this, and we have seen many posts on theories of why we cross dress or are TG at all. I've heard many say that there are chemical unbalances or hormone levels are off.
Lately I've seen many commercials for a product called Low T. It is for men who have low testosterone levels. I was wondering if any of us out there are on it or know anything about it and can share their experiences with it.
I have read that many of us who go from the average CD to start transitioning say that getting on estrogen is one of the best things they have done, and that they feel much better about things. I wonder if the same could be said to going on a testosterone therapy, and your gender issues may recede.
The question remains if this could work, how many would take this route and stop CDing or Transitioning. I would, as much as I feel like I'd really should be female it is not always the most practical thing to do. As much as I am an advocate for letting people be who they want to be, and I support LGBT community, I'd rather not have to spend the money, have the lack of career opportunities, the scrutiny, the loss of friends & family, hiding things, not being able to be open, being miserable, feeling totally awkward and self conscious when in public dressed because of my already very tall for a man frame, and all the other negatives that go along with what we experience. I think the loneliness and lack of intimacy has a great impact on this too.
So in the end, who knows anything about Low T? Has anyone tried it? Anyone interested? I would love feedback
