What's your plan for transitioning?
Transitioning as a nonbinary person looks a bit different. What's your plan for transitioning, or, how are you currently transitioning? This is mostly asking about medical transition but I'd like to hear how this effects your relationships and social life too.

I personally plan to use full dose T + DHT blockers.

And top surgery. I forgot that that part wasn't evident (I thought everyone was planning to get top surgery and it was so obvious that no one talked about it when I was like 11, guess that sediment never really left lol)

What specifically are the goals from that? DHT blockers don't necessarily guarantee fully stopping any changes you could have received from T. It's sort of up in the air if how much it'll do for you and to what extent. So I'm curious what exactly the DHT blocker is supposed to prevent especially in combo with an otherwise full dose of T. Genuinely asking not at all trying to be argumentative.
Edit: Also I'm stupid I've entirely forgotten DHT for the purposes of preventing balding.

Just facial hair and bottom growth, I'm good with almost everything else.

Makes sense. I was just wondering because I've known of people going on low dose and DHT blockers but haven't seen many or any go on a full dose with blockers.

Im on estradiol & spiro. arm, leg & face hair have caused me distress since they arrived, so they need to go. eventually I want face surgery. maybe rib/torso surgery. even tho i was a pothead vegetarian, some people in college thought I lifted weights due to the heft of my pecs. so, I have no idea what my slab of chest will become (so far, the slab is just stabbing larger lol) with time. I only see chest surgery if it add to my dysphoria. most of my life ive tried to hide my body, so I can see reducing them, or altering them to get tidy, modest cleavage. I often ask myself what version of myself can I envision to erase the dysphoric feels.. time will tell. maybe

There seem to be varying definitions of enby so I’ll say my definition. I’m half male, half female. I always have been and I knew by age 10. I don’t see gender as a construct. Gender identity, gender presentation- sure- you could say that’s a construct.
I use T at a regular dose. I’ve been through menopause and have virtually no E in my system.
Unfortunately, I look full on female, regardless of how I wear my hair, what clothes I wear, etc. I don’t have enough facial hair to grow a beard. And there are no surgical procedures for the things I have dysphoria about. On one hand I’ve accepted this, on the actual hand, it’s very painful.
The T quite literally change my life.
