This video came at just the right time. So weird. I was thinking about your videos yesterday during a pretty exhausting day with my brain going over the same T related questions... 'should I/shouldn't I' so this really helped me this morning. Thank you. Feel like I really needed to hear the 'embrace discomfort' sentiment... it's difficult knowing you're potentially about to embark on something that will be really hard... but I'm pleased to hear you still think it's worth it. I like Jonah because it has remnants of Hannah. I also like your reaction to it when you said it - perhaps you enjoy it more than you realise? Thanks for your videos, always, and so pleased to hear you're feeling the best you've ever felt! Jaime X

i’m so happy to see an update from you! your videos were so helpful when i was debating going on T and looking for information on low dose experiences. im almost 4 months on a low/mid dose now and am really liking the changes more than i thought i would since i went in with a pretty neutral/hesitant mindset. i appreciate you talking about the things you knew you didn’t want and how you’ve adjusted to those changes. also, i think jonah suits you’re really really well - both you (at least in your vids!) and the name give off a very calm energy :)

Thanks for making these videos. Its been helpful to watch your transition as I decide if I will be going on T. It took me over a year to settle on a name, I remember how unsetting It was, but in the end I did find something that felt exactly right, I think its good to take your time. If you're looking for the perspective of a random stranger, Jonas is the name that came to mind before you even said Jonah, so I think your pick is spot on.

I was SO HAPPY FOR YOU when you said that you've not only come to terms with, but now love your body hair! I've seen every single one of your videos (within the last two days, though) and this was really on my mind. So good!

Going on t has been something I've been considering on and off for years and the option has recently become much more attainable for me which is both exciting and a little scary. Your videos are helping me a lot rn and I think I want to give it a go, many things you have said resonate with me a lot! I changed my name almost 4 years ago now and even though it felt scary and weird and awkward at first I am so happy I made that decision and feel much more at ease, I like hearing other people say my name now. A new name might take some time to "grow into" much as you now feel like you're growing out of the old one! It took me like a year for it to feel fully natural. Your reaction to saying the new name you're considering made me feel so excited for you, it reminded me so much of how I felt when finding mine for the first time! Jonah suits you really well!

Thank you! One thing I had to keep reminding myself of before starting T was that I could pull back if I wanted to. It's scary right before starting, but most changes will be fairly gradual, so you have time to feel things out. Rooting for you!

Hi, just a few questions if I may. You mentioned a lot of discomfort with your body both before and during the early stages of taking testosterone supplements, when you talked to a therapist or a psychiatrist did they ever screen and/or treat you for body dysmorphia, anxiety, depression, etc.. Like what was the screening process like? Also curious at what age it was that you started taking testosterone. Appreciate any responses you feel like sharing.

I started taking T when I was 25. I wasn't screened for any of those things beforehand, but anxiety was definitely a thing for me. When I went in for a gender-affirming care consultation, I had a conversation with my doctor, he asked me about how I was feeling and what I wanted out of T, and I walked out with a prescription. I was pretty surprised at how easy the process was!

I have watched all your update videos on testosterone in one sitting and I am sorry if this is going to sound bad or critizing you, it is just me seeing what you're going through and feeling from the videos you make. I can relate to you because I am a trans man on testosterone as well. In your video 7 months on T you had mentioned that you were scared of over masculinizing yourself and that you dont see an end goal. This is a huge concern. It means that you dont have a idea of were you stand in the world or see a future at all, and not just about being trans or masculine, im talking about just about your life in general. It sounds like to me you are really just hoping for something to happen, and that you find your end goal without thinking it through. You seem to have body dismophia when it comes to food and such, I know you said that you have anxiety, but this seems more of dysmorphia to me. From what I heard in some of your testosterone update videos, it looks like doctors don't want to help you which is typical for transgenders. I hope that things are going well for you and I hope you find the help that you need. anyway I'm not a doctor or anything like that I just want you to be well.

Hey, thanks for your concern. Though I share a lot in my videos, they're really just very tiny slices of my life as a whole, so I'm a little taken aback by your statements about my life in general. When I said I was scared of over-masculinizing (which was over a year ago at this point), I was expressing a real fear. I had a hard time knowing that my body would change but not knowing exactly how. I don't feel this way anymore. I never have to share anything here, but my hope has always been that by sharing my feelings, they'll resonate with someone else who also has had some uncertainties about starting T. As I've said many times, T has had an overwhelmingly positive influence on my life, and though some things have been difficult, the good far outweighs the bad, and I'm so much better than I was before. As far as not thinking things through, I'm probably the most over-thinking person I know. I thought about my gender and going on T for years before I sought out care. I was never 100% certain about it before starting, but I never would've started if I waited for that. And I'm so glad I didn't wait.
