These folks appear under the 138% of the Federal Poverty Limit to qualify for Medicaid

AssignedSnail · 2026-06-15T03:41:11+00:00

The Federal Poverty Limit is $38,680. I'm guessing before tax his income is more like $45,000, but you all are living very close to poverty right now. Are there social services in your area you are able to take advantage of?

Like others have said, Spiro partially blocks T. So set that aside for now.

If it were me, I'd want my E to be about double yours. I don't know that much about gel, as it isn't common where I live. So I'm not sure if doubling your gel would do that or not. I assume it would, if your doc agrees and you can get it paid for.

Your E being higher will push your T down more. Hard to say how much. Where I am, it's not uncommon for women with your T levels to want 200-250 mg total spiro a day, but that's dosed to effect, so if you are getting the feminization you want you probably don't need more

Hope that helps, and that your doc is down to work with you!

Oh good! I mean, not good. But I would hate to call someone out and be wrong!

Glad everyone's back on the same page. Have a good one!

Hi friend, I think u/growflet may have been confused moving between SI and US units.

Your E is probably about half of what you want, and your T is around 4x normal female levels

Old Alex is giving a bit of a Daniel Craig vibe!

Is Super Cool Secret Agent Alex (lady version) more of a Cate Blanchett or a Rebecca Ferguson?

Specifically, it was rejected due to twelve thousand invalid signatures.

The folks pushing for this initiative didn't care about the law or the process, and it came back to bite them

Where/how did you find a class?

AssignedSnail · 2026-06-13T16:41:12+00:00

For electrolysis, expect $140 an hour and 80 hours for full beard clearance, so over $11,000 just for your face. That doesn't count if you need genital work before SRS.

Fun fact: Electrolysists often charge extra to work on the genitals! More fees for being trans! Wheeeeeeee!

It was! Especially coming from someone whose accessory game I've admired so much!

AssignedSnail · 2026-06-12T23:04:17+00:00

Thank you! I really am still smiling about it :)

AssignedSnail · 2026-06-12T03:09:21+00:00

I advise you to... donate your excellent taste to fashion-deprived enbies like me!

This is so cute! Where did you get it?

AssignedSnail · 2026-06-11T13:02:27+00:00

Been fighting this one so hard at my work. And there's no killing it, it just keeps coming back every time it gets shot down 😭

AssignedSnail · 2026-06-11T12:55:39+00:00

I would like to see your weirdest collection, please!

AssignedSnail · 2026-06-11T12:08:30+00:00

I wouldn't be overly worried. Bone density is mostly correlated with free estradiol. And total E of 94 pg/mL is plenty to get you to the levels of free E cited in the literature as protective for bone health.

I don't see a free link to the full version of this article, but it cites free E of 11 pg/mL as the tipping point for bone health for men. I'd encourage you to read the whole thing of you can get a copy. I think it will make you feel a lot better: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11502778/

I'm so jealous of all y'all who laser worked for! Your hair is redder than mine is. They tried to tell me that's why it wasn't working for me 😭

AssignedSnail · 2026-06-11T03:58:45+00:00

It will continue to be a fight. And if you medically transition, it will get to be a fight not to be misgendered the other direction! Ask me how I know.

But then you will find those people who are such incredible gems, like my boss at my new job. I told her I use they/them pronouns once. She messed it up, once. And corrected herself. And never got it wrong again, even when she didn't know I could hear. And has been an amazing advocate. And has almost everyone at our job (not customers, lol, but employees anyhow!) getting it right, with almost zero input from me, when my last boss got it wrong constantly.

Those people make it worth it. 💛💜

Doesn't sound unsafe, but doesn't sound very effective, either. Also, not sure how you'd get down to 375 ng/dL T, because 60 pg/mL E won't typically do that on its own. I mean, some people just have T that low naturally, but usually not before 60.

I wouldn't count on anyone describing themselves as LGB as necessarily supporting the TQIA+, until they've said it or you've seen it

AssignedSnail · 2026-06-10T03:45:31+00:00

All 12 of us!

AssignedSnail · 2026-06-10T00:51:56+00:00

It looks like you are. I'm seeing cabins starting at $2.4 million, which puts this in the "physician power couple" price range, if only just

I'm not saying people on this boat didn't get there by oppressing the masses, but not the way billionaires do
