This episode of FtM Diaries, my little mini-series of YouTube videos documenting my transition from female to male, is the longest yet. Episode 5 deals with my recent 30-pound weight gain, emergence of new body hair, and my experience with giving myself injections. I answer questions such as whether I’m afraid of having surgery, if I’ll miss any part of my female body, and my thoughts on pansexuality. I also touch on my infuriating experience with the district court about getting my name legally changed.
At the end is a short video of me actually giving myself my injection with a humorous narration, so if you’re not comfortable watching an inch-and-a-half-long needle skewer my thigh, then just stop watching at the part where I lip-synch and make a goofy face.
You can watch the previous episodes on my personal YouTube.
Good luck on the transition. My only question would be is if you are transitioning why wear nail polish and eye liner? Two feminine things to do.
As a “member of the press” are you considering filming your name change hearing?
