Unexpected pros/cons of transitioning
Unexpected pros/cons of transitioning
Socially, medically, or otherwise.
Unexpected T pro: my cat loves aggressively head butting my facial scruff after a day or two of not shaving
Unexpected T con: my cat’s hair gets caught up in my facial hair any time I do this and it’s annoying to get it all out
You're viewing a single thread.
Pro: faster metabolism, I can eat more
Con: faster metabolism, I have to eat more
Specifically for progesterone:
Con: near constant ravenous hunger Pro: greater difference in fat distribution, especially top growth
I didn't know progesterone did that
Faster metabolism also means you age faster as well.
That's unfortunate. Still beats living in constant agony. Everything's got their pros and cons
Pro: you very well could turn out looking like (eithwr one, smooth or bearded) Kratos. Older and Bald does not mean unattractive by any means! Bald does mean more sunscreen tho. I've seen some dudes with horrifying sunburns.
NGL I have not been looking forward to the prospect of balding. It's not balding itself that I don't like, it's just that all of my male cousins have lost most of their hair by 24. Like, maybe when I'm in my 40s or 50s and I start balding that'd be fine, but in my 20s??? My luscious locks??? I wanted to experiment more with my hair too...it is what it is.
Most men in my family were bald in their early twenties, yet here I am in my late twenties with hair halfway down my back 🤪 genetics are weird. Got a whole family line that has hair just turns silvery white fairly young, another side with curly red hair who are also somehow able to tan (that did NOT pass on to my mom or me, we burn bad), plenty of dudes who look a lot like me (bulky/broad, and hairy enough to make a yeti look twice). I'm mostly the latter with some hints of red in the brown.
