ive been on e for a bit over 6 months now, which from what ive read is the earliest that people start with prog, idk how to determine if/when i should start with it and my doctor isnt very helpful since they only want to give scientifically backed advice, any ideas? if youre on prog, what was your experience like and when did...
I was talking to my hairdresser last week and she loves injections. Guess she forgets enough that pills everyday are too much for her. I’m taking mine in the morning, evening and then progesterone right before bed. So, three times a day I have to take pills. Guess I’m curious what your thoughts about the differences are and...
same. been on pills for 6 months now, never missed a day, levels seem mostly fine (next checkup is this week), and im very glad i only need to be touched by a needle every few months rather than every week
So I look very ugly and honestly don’t look feminine at all and just look like a guy with girls’ clothes draped over him. I have been on HRT for a year and 6 months, I went from 4 to 6mg in April and I still look pretty terrible, I am not sure what I can do differently and I feel like maybe I am overweight which ruined my...
the title of your post displays a serious issue that isnt given enough attention. the amount of discourse and controversy about trans people in politics and media leads to many trans people feeling like their existence, or their decision to transition, is a political one. it is not. there is nothing political about you or how you live your life. you dont have to appease anyone. dont let them force you into detransitioning. just be yourself, take care of yourself, and live as the person you want to be.
also, please stop looking at trans discourse in media because clearly it has affected you very negatively. do yourself a favor and cut off the negativity. get yourself a safe space, whether that be here, somewhere else online, or irl, and dont try to confront the negativity. its not worth your time
Since starting my questioning journey, I feel like some of sexual orientation labels make less sense. I like girls (a lot apparently). I have always liked girls. Therefore as amab I am straight, I realize one day in the future “fuck it, I’m transitioning” and then I’m not longer straight. It honestly would make a lot...
i 100% agree! its so frustrating that the commonly used labels imply both the gender of me and the people im attracted to. id use those words you mentioned if only they werent so ugly
alright, fair enough. sounds like a pretty serious issue then, should probably replace the phone. im currently using a pixel 6a and have had no complaints
Is this how most people type on mobile these days, drawing lines all over a keyboard instead of tapping the individual keys? I've never had an iPhone so I don't even know if they can do this natively, but I know you can switch keyboards at least, so it should still be an option if not.
i never do. im quite an old school mobile typer in general - i dont use any autocorrect features, barely use autocomplete word suggestions… i type with two fingers which are my left index finger and right thumb. call me crazy, but it works wonders for me, and whenever i display my mobile typing speed people are amazed. can definitely recommend trying to type without any assistance for a while because it can ultimately lead to some very strong results :3
absolutely fair point, thats why im scared of it. but ultimately its a one time investment for long term benefit, i can kinda think about it the same way i think about having my blood drawn which also feels really bad every time. the cost would be a problem tho, i hope there could be some way to make my insurance cover it but im not optimistic about that
ugh thats so annoying, why do people want us to socially transition when our bodies arent ready to be perceived as female yet, kinda feels backwards to me
In the process of questioning myself, I discovered that it doesn’t seem very natural to refer to myself as she/her at first. How did you yourself experiment it? Did it take some time getting used to? Or was it an instant relief?
it definitely takes quite a while. i started by just being stella (she/her) on discord and nowhere else, which already helped me kinda get used to it. my supportive family members eventually started to kinda “force” it onto me, not in a bad way, just like actively confronting me with the name and pronouns, both for them to get used to it and also for myself. that really helped me because otherwise i probably wouldve been too scared. nowadays i use my real name for everything i do and i have started to feel bad about my deadname. still, hearing my name and pronouns feels weird, but im slowly getting used to it and i love that :3

I just thought that everyone felt that way secretly 🤔
How did you feel at first with your new pronouns and gender markers?
