I will one day be a STEMhon and as such I have been described in my life as being being meticulous (or maybe more so obsessive) with some things like I have years of somewhat extensive documentation on my arthritis I put together. I am planning on doing a lot of the same while I transition for at least for a couple years while things are changing. I am considering things to photograph, journal, measure, etc. Give me any recommendations you all have.
What I have so far.
Photographing:
- Face, hairline, hands, body, (probably an area of body hair until I can start shaving or something)
- Photos of facial hair removal progress once I can (hopefully) get laser
Journaling:
- Table of HRT changes rated objectively where I can or subjectively if I can’t - Skin texture, oil, body odor, nail changes, onset of ED (hopefully soon I hate the rapestick)
- Level of dysphoria?
a small note about your thoughts on these things is my opinion just as good as data. But other than this, that’s pretty good!
I already started a few weeks ago journaling about how I feel each day but I don’t know if I will share it with anyone where I kind of plan on posting all of this one day. Its a good idea though and I think I will incorporate how I feel about stuff in a way I could share with others.
