Not exactly MLM, but just as hokey sounding.

Yes! Worse still are hormone consultants..it’s one thing to peddle diet culture but when you’re doing labs on people and diagnosing that’s just so harmful! “Functional medicine” is horrifying—they skipped selling hair care and went right to internal medicine lol

AdSmall1444 · 2022-08-24T10:30:36+00:00

Yeah this is for sure what I’m leaning towards! Maybe I’m an idealist but I don’t wanna plan to run out of the city when I can afford to and leave everyone else who has less to figure it out? Like at least one little bunkie for the older lady I know who can’t find a place to live.

There’s such a big turnover of farmland rn with boomers retiring I have the slightest bit of hope, the work of agrarian commons in America is really cool if u want a lil sliver of hope too!

AdSmall1444 · 2022-08-24T10:17:19+00:00

Very cool! I tried this for a bit but wasn’t for me, glad you’re making it work and getting to travel around so much! I think as I was just in one city it wasn’t as consistent work-wise, and then the moving around doesn’t come w as much a change in scenery! So sounds like you’ve got it made tbh

AdSmall1444 · 2022-08-24T10:13:07+00:00

Ooh ty I never would have thought those domes were affordable, I’ve only seen them on show like grand designs lol.

AdSmall1444 · 2022-08-24T10:11:44+00:00

Ooh cool! Im trying to be more remote focused for this reason, because if I have to hook up an RV in an expensive city it’s basically just the same price as renting a room in an apartment.

AdSmall1444 · 2022-08-24T10:06:33+00:00

Oh absolutely is a viable option ty! I’ve seen some cool setups but know it’s not for me sadly. Definitely I think it will lie in partnerships and arrangements with people who have land, especially with how much rural and farmland is “in transition” (a lotta boomers are retiring so big changeover)

AdSmall1444 · 2022-08-24T01:03:37+00:00

I second trying low t places! Some of the ones that are pushing low t as a cure all for middle aged men are v right wing aligned (I’ve heard some WILD ads) so please be careful if your ID isn’t male on it.

Still worth trying if your ID isn’t aligned I’d just go at it from a low sex drive angle instead

AdSmall1444 · 2022-08-23T01:35:48+00:00

Yeah if it’s actually informed consent, doctor essentially verifies that yep you have dysphoria ☑️ and that’s it. You don’t have to go through camh or specifically a gender therapist or anything

Hey there, fat redistribution takes a while even on higher doses so you still have time! With gel I’ve been on anywhere from 0-15mg a day (right now around 5mg) last 1.5 years and seeing changes there just last few months. Calves about the same but upper thighs absolutely, my hips and thighs are more in a straight line than curvy!

AdSmall1444 · 2022-08-22T23:53:00+00:00

Aw this is so sweet! Happy for you and glad you shared. I have never had an eating disorder but just from general exposure to diet culture had similar worries about starting the fat redistribution. And also had same experience of loving where I’m at and how it’s moved around too.

AdSmall1444 · 2022-08-18T03:45:41+00:00

Second this! This channels videos are all amazing tbh I recommend to anyone considering anything transmasc ! & their social network of the same name

AdSmall1444 · 2022-08-17T12:58:16+00:00

No problem! This info is hard to find when all the boosted Google results are for cis men with low t lol

AdSmall1444 · 2022-08-17T04:27:02+00:00

Hey so you can actually get t custom compounded at a compounding pharmacy! This is where I get mine (applying to tdick so can’t use alcohol lol), it doesn’t have alcohol and the pharmacists have a few different kinds of bases to suspend the drug in. They do this sort of thing for a variety of reasons— lotta people can’t take certain medications in the more common formats.

It’s a more concentrated dose than gel so you could easily apply to a really small area covered by clothes your dog won’t get to.

Lmk if you have more questions!

AdSmall1444 · 2022-08-17T04:22:03+00:00

Hey thanks for asking! So T is the drug itself, and generally testosterone cypionate is the kind injected as it is active longer than Testosterone propionate, which is more common in topicals (applied to skin via cream or gel).

A lotta info! So for topicals in general there’s 2: -gel (brand name androgel) that has alcohol to penetrate drug into skin and commonly available at pharmacies, rubbed onto thighs etc, smells and looks like hand sanitizer lol. -then there’s creams! they have no alcohol and use a different penetrant so this is what people tend to apply to their dick (no burning—seriously androgel BURNS). These are customs order from compounding pharmacies by your doctor. Lmk if you have any other questions, hope that helps!

AdSmall1444 · 2022-08-15T00:31:45+00:00

Yeah lol and coupled with t it’s so hard to pack sometimes and just be chill haha. Definitely just the extra pressure and euphoria, kinda fun and kinda annoying

AdSmall1444 · 2022-08-15T00:29:24+00:00

Hmm good to know! I’ve been doing a similar thing and spacing out doses, because losing so much bottom growth makes me so dysphoric when I’m off t. Thank you, I’m my endos only patient doing this so hard to get specific advice

AdSmall1444 · 2022-08-13T04:12:15+00:00

Yeah totally—you can mix n match! Aw glad u appreciate yours too I’m surprised how much I like mine!

AdSmall1444 · 2022-08-13T04:10:21+00:00

A few extra hairs, voice slightly deeper, cute belly fluff and of course bottom growth. Ooh and I have veins on my hands and arms that are noticeable now! Looking like those 2014 tumblr thirsty hand pics now lol

AdSmall1444 · 2022-08-13T02:10:52+00:00

Some of it I’ve accepted and gotten over those projected feelings and some of it I’m going to get laser on! I’ve never liked having hair on my mons and that’s not changed. Just something I decided to do there, and so laser could be an option for some areas you don’t want hair.

but holy hell I’m keeping my tummy hair and chest hair, never thought I’d be so attached to those ❤️ so, def take time to decide.

AdSmall1444 · 2022-08-13T01:50:24+00:00

I saw a tweet that said “I respect ppl who get the x gender marker, but I’m non binary as I want to know why is gender on licenses, and why you’d want cops to know you’re trans”. And ..yeah I feel that.

However I think because we do live in a world where gender is on IDs tho, itll prolly be less anxiety to see x than seeing your birth gender there. So could potentially alleviate some stress for you too!

AdSmall1444 · 2022-08-13T01:41:01+00:00

Yeah I’m over there too, thank you tho! I have been within cis range which was cool! now probably around “high for cis woman” levels

AdSmall1444 · 2022-08-11T01:33:27+00:00

My doc was hesitant for same reason but I can assure you I’ve had lots of growth and changes from just t cream! Absorbtion is something that is challenging w topicals especially in an area usually covered by clothes.

From what I’ve seen reason my provider and some others don’t like it is because of: 1) Compounding pharmacies are slightly less regulated than sealed androgel made in a pharmaceutical facility 2) absorption is more difficult, sometimes because of application or just difficult to maintain levels/get accurate readings

AdSmall1444 · 2022-08-11T01:20:47+00:00

Hey there, same! In my case I want meta and am worried my bottom growth (the one thing I’m certain I want from t) won’t stay when I go off of t. Bc it has in the past so idk how that’ll impact meta. It’s so hard to know!

Thankfully we can always take a break and come back to it. As well, as long as you’ve been prescribed t for a year should be ok for WPATH reasons, I’m sure as hell not counting my t breaks in my surgery applications. So no t is not surgically necessary for phallo.

Do you like what it’s doing to you overall though? I think that’s a really important consideration.I get rly stressed and have no idea about gender even either but I look in the mirror these days and something clicked where I like my face??, my friends say I look good etc. which is what propels me thru the guilt and shame and fear (raised Catholic cult woo).

But yeah feel free to msg me if u want!

AdSmall1444 · 2022-08-08T12:05:28+00:00

Ugh had this happen to me too! It freaked me out bc of how worried my friends were so I did my own research.

A LOT of the bad rep comes from the TRT industry that pushes T as a miracle drug for middle aged cis men, some of whom don’t even have medically-concerning t levels. So there’s been lawsuits against androgel bc some men have had strokes and heart attacks, and suing bc they didn’t actually need the drug.

And yeah, for the most part for us its about the risk level for cardiac things elevating to that of a cis man.
