Changes From 5 Years on Testosterone | Transition Update

Thanks to Dollar Shave Club for sponsoring. Go to http://DollarShaveClub.com/jacksonbird to take the grooming quiz today.

In this five years on testosterone update video as an FTM trans man, I discuss my experiences with using finasteride to treat hair loss, get real about how I often felt behind other people’s physical transitions, question what changes are caused by being on testosterone for this length of time versus being on testosterone at this age, and I share some things I’ve never mentioned publicly before.

👋 I'm Jackson Bird and I make (hopefully) funny, (sometimes) educational videos for LGBTQ+ nerds like me – and the people in our lives that want to understand us better.

Here on JACKISNOTABIRD, you can find new videos every Wednesday afternoon sharing my experiences as a bisexual trans guy, answering questions about LGBTQ+ issues, and sometimes showing what happens when you put weird stuff on a waffle iron.

Beyond this channel, I'm a public speaker, podcaster, writer, and pub quiz host. You can learn more about my work at http://jacksonbird.cool

If you want to hire me to speak at your school, event, or business, you can email my speaking bureau at laura@freshspeakers.com
