I’m a translady, so I have no interest in trading away my massive honkers 😔

Smorty asked to not be referred to as a dude, yet prettybunnys doubled down. That’s misgendering regardless of how the word is used normally by prettybunnys.

Edit: also just looked at their modlog. They have a history of misgendering people on purpose

fuck off transphobe

same 🫂

For me they stopped eventually, but was there constantly for a few days after each injection. I tried three different esters and thought the newest one worked because of different ingredients, but when I tried one of the previous ones again I had no pains. I dunno if it was caused by stress, if me doing more exercise or eating better helped, or really have any good explanation for what happened and why it stopped.

I also did have some random but minor pains when I first started HRT, before I tried injections, but it was very bearable and stopped within a few weeks. To me it seemed like different kinds of pains because my body got new instructions etc, like my ligaments changing, but I don’t really know. All I know is it was just briefly now and then before stopping.

Unfortunately because of a lack of competence and sometimes because of malice it’s not uncommon for trans people all over the world to receive essentially maltreatment from doctors. I recommend reading up about HRT and getting a doctor regardless (if possible). Being aware of what typically goes into hrt means you’ll know if you are being given too small a dose of hormones or too large a dose of blocker etc. Additionally monotherapy (no blocker, only hormones) isn’t all that commonly prescribed to transfems despite being a safer alternative.

I live in a country where getting diagnosed is a requirement for any kind of treatment (no informed consent) and getting diagnosed requires going to one of two clinics. Only one of the clinics accepts people from the entire country, and that one has a terrible reputation for purposefully stretching out the diagnostic process as much as possible (it can take many years to get diagnosed) and for being transmedicalist (among other things). The good clinic while also only taking patients from a single city also has a maximum age limit. In short if I want prescribed HRT my options aren’t great if I need it soon.

I seriously doubt that unless they’ve been buying “hormone” supplements from amazon or something. The DIY community is a big network of sellers and users who check that everything is legit, and we always recommend blood tests for a number of reasons, but not because there is a high chance of getting scammed.

So either they are not buying from within the DIY community or your doc is lying to you.

Glad you’re okay in more ways than one!

Phyto-estrogens won’t give you more estrogen. You’ll have to get human estrogen either prescribed or from somewhere else.

I look at this map occasionally: https://www.equaldex.com/equality-index It’s not very nuanced and it gets some minor stuff wrong with my country, but it’s mostly correct.

I hope the video makes an impact. It really is so sad how many get fooled into transphobia by this political bait :(

I really appreciate the videos he makes, he seems to hit quite frequently. Unlike me in sports

The meme was only tangentially relevant. I’m one year on HRT as of a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks for the advice <3 I have a safety razor, I use a special oil and cream, and I pull back skin to get a cleaner shave, but unfortunately if I want a clean shave it always results in tons and tons of blood. Some from cuts, some from razor bumps being sliced off. I can get about one good shave without blood and then if I shave within a week of that I’ll be mostly red from blood :(

I have a good cream that’s supposed to help with razor burns and such. Perhaps the products I use aren’t right for me.

Edit: Oh yeah I maybe already mentioned the hrt thing.

That’s both expensive and not available where I live :P It is the long term goal however.

1 year a few days ago ! the rest of my body hair has been impacted, but not the beard

yes :'(

mine’s going just as strong as before

Not what I’m asking, but share your knowledge friend! perhaps behind a spoiler as another catgirl suggested

Oh, I’m using the default web frontend. Might indeed be a frontend/client thing then

not sure your @s worked ? they aren’t hyperlinking for me at least

Ah yes, the freedom to perform malpractice. What a big win for all those oppressed therapists this will be.
