ADVENTURES OF A
Many people ask me why non binary people may want to be on HRT, or more specifically, why I am on testosterone despite not identifying as a man. Speaking only for myself: I had extremely disordered eating habits for most of my adult life. I was paranoid of gaining weight and looking more feminine. I also had low body awareness, and I love running, so it was easy to not eat enough. I was medically underweight from age 13-25. Among many other changes, testosterone has made food taste good, it's made me hungry, and it's made me stop fearing gaining weight. A few weeks ago I realized that I couldn't see my ribs, for the first time ever. I consistently feel good and strong. My chest measurements have gone up 6 inches. I don't get lightheaded anymore. HRT can be lifesaving in many ways Pictures are from February 2019 and November 2017. I have gained 20 pounds and finally am starting to feel healthy.
and yes, I have scoliosis :)
