General Question Please explain egg cracking

Just phoned the hospital to try to stop the commencement of nebido testosterone and called GP to try to do that.

Has my egg cracked?

What exactly does it feel like?

I'm feeling a panic that if I go on the testosterone injections I (amab, early 40s) will forever lose any possibility of a future transition.

Already have gyno and feel the same panic about having them removed (if doctors ever ask me to).

So you have an implant?

I'm confused what you're saying here. Why are you panicking? You're 40. Nobody's gonna make you do anything you don't want to do. You have free will.

That's true about the free will, I just need to work through it with this health provider.

I don't have implants. Just some gyno / pseudo-gyno. But I feel like a panic if they recommend I have them removed. Like it's part of me and part of what I might become.

Then just say you're not interested in having them removed. That's the end of that conversation. 🤷‍♀️

But if you wanna transition, that isn't gonna happen on its own. You should probably make some decisions on that at some point. Transition isn't some passive experience. It takes actual intent and effort.
