Painful bottom growth ??

I’m a trans guy who’s been on testosterone for a while, and one of the changes I’ve experienced is bottom growth. It’s something I don’t see talked about very often outside of trans spaces, so I wanted to share my experience.

For me, it’s been both affirming and extremely uncomfortable at the same time.

On the affirming side, it feels like a physical change that helps my body feel more aligned with who I am. Seeing and noticing those changes has brought me a lot of gender euphoria, and a stronger sense of confidence in my transition.

At the same time, it hasn’t always been an easy experience. During periods of growth, I’ve noticed increased sensitivity and occasional discomfort, especially with certain clothing or when being active. It’s lowkey painful, and it can be annoying and take some getting used to as well.

What surprised me most was how both feelings could exist at once. I can be genuinely happy and grateful for a change while also acknowledging that parts of the process are awkward, inconvenient, or uncomfortable. Transition isn’t always a simple “everything feels great” experience……sometimes it’s exciting and challenging at the same time.
