Needles are horrible. The prep to get a shot going is stressful. There are serious medical risks every single time you break the skin barrier and inject stuff into yourself.

One time I did it and blood literally poured out when I pulled out the needle. Ruined a pair of pants and a shirt.

As great as transitioning is, yes, it sucks and I wish I wasn’t born this way and that there was a better way. I’ve tried patches, oral, sublingual, buccal. None of them are perfect.
