(They called it their T-versary but surely it should be anniversar-T??)

I did not even know there was a Transmasculine Pride/Visibility Day until someone said it, today, is their anniversary of starting testosterone. Others of my online pals said the same.

Shows we need such a day, I guess!

Somehow it's only been like a year and a half for me. My latest transition milestone is that I keep thinking "oh no I've got a hair in my mouth!" and trying to pull it out and finding it's attached to my face.

(My facial hair is still patchy and kinda wispy but some of it is getting long. Mostly on my chin but lately around the corners of my mouth too, apparently!)

Yay for whiskers :)

Other half has never fancied growing so I'm not sure what he'd look like with a beard.

I still remember the day I started oestrogen although it was so long ago. :o)

Oh, I didn't know Transmasculine Pride/Visibility Day was a thing until I read this!
I can't remember without looking it up exactly how long I've been on T. Enough for it to feel like forever; not long enough that my beard's not still in the process of filling out.

It's only been about a year and a half for me but I can't be much more specific than "uh, August of that year I think?" because I remember it was only a month later that I was helping my parents move house, and I know that was in September.

I'm normally pretty good with remembering dates, I had been made to feel uncomfortable about people prominently sharing their HRT start-dates so I made a point of deliberately forgetting mine, heh.

My HRT start date was all in the middle of big medical stuff so it wasn't a big celebratory moment, nor the real focus of my attention at that point. I can imagine it having been different if things had been different (if you see what I mean).

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. <3
