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.

Oh yeah, had that happen once. The nausea of seeing blood pour out was worse than the pain of the needle.
