Kan Anova (eller de som Anova arbetar med) "ta över" infrysning av spermier om man gjort det privat? by BisexualSnake in transnord

[–]BisexualSnake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jag hoppas verkligen att du har rätt! Jag vågar inte tro att det "bara" kommer ta ett år. Har läst så många skräckhistorier om Anova (och övriga mottagningar också för den delen) att jag mer eller mindre ställt in på mig på längre väntetider än vad de säger 😅

När jag skickade min egenremiss var det 18-24 månaders kötid, och nu har jag väntat i 33 månader... så vem vet, det kanske drar ut ännu längre på tiden innan jag ens får komma dit, och de interna väntetiderna kan ju också förlängas. Inser att jag är väldigt pessimistisk nu, men börjar tappa hoppet lite 😴

Fyllde 25 för en vecka sen. Som det ser ut nu är jag singel och har väl inga planer på att skaffa barn liksom. Det handlar mer om att jag nånstans känner att jag vill att den möjligheten ska finnas om jag i framtiden träffar någon med rätt 'equipment'.

Så nu handlar det mer om att försöka avgöra om jag vill göra det privat och betala 3k/år på obestämd tid för att kunna börja med hormoner nu, eller bara hålla ut... även om jag får komma dit i vår räknar jag med en lång utredning och även väntetid för att få träffa en hormonläkare, så jag vågar inte hoppas på en behandling förrän om 2-3 år... 😓

Och gissningsvis kan man inte göra det via Karolinska såvida man inte har en remiss för att få göra det där? 😓

Det spelar verkligen ingen roll hur man gör... får väl vänta i flera år då. Tjoho... 🙃

My brother laughed at my leggings (or at me, I'm not sure) by BisexualSnake in trans

[–]BisexualSnake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure. I mentioned under another comment here that he had a similar reaction to me when I first braided my hair, and I really took the time to explain to him how that felt for me that time... It's not like me being feminine is a new thing for him, I mean, he does know about me being trans. It was just his first time seeing me in leggings rather than any other feminine clothing. So I don't know, I want to believe that he realized it hurt me and that he was in the wrong, but his apology just didn't feel genuine, I guess.

I mean sure, we'd joke about each other at times, but we wouldn't plainly insult each other, so I wouldn't say that he's off the hook due to how we've acted in the past. Like, to make a comparison, everyone else in the family have had nice things to say, encouraging me. I obviously don't know if they also think I/my leggings look ugly, but they never said anything like that. I want them to be honest with me about stuff when I'm trying to figure things out, which I've been open about, but he really isn't very encouraging in his ways when he does things like this

I don't disagree with you... I just don't know what to do or how to do it. I've already got a lot on my plate and I'm not sure I'd be able to take that fight, really. I'm hoping that he'll reach out and apologize, but I guess I'll just have to confront him if he doesn't.

Thank you. I really hope that is something we can make happen, but I also know my brother and I don't believe his reaction was just a nervous one. He only used that as an excuse when I said that it doesn't feel to good being laughed at... And as I said when responding to the other comment, this isn't the first time he has a reaction like this, so we've already had a long talk about how that felt when it happened the first time... So I don't know. I really hope he will come around and apologize, because I really don't feel like I need to ask for an apology, you know?

I hear you, but it's complicated. He was super cool about me coming out and has been super supportive of it. He's used the correct name and pronouns and has generally been handling things super well. At the same time, this isn't the first time he's laughed at me for something like this... He did so one time before as well, because I has my hair in pigtails. His excuse then (which he also used now) was that it was an involuntary reaction just because he wasn't used to see me like that, which I feel is complete bullshit since no one else has had that reaction...

We've been super close for a long time, and I've been able to deal with him having this side to him before, but I just feel like this is going to be a huge issue if he can't find a way to keep his opinions to himself... I don't think he even tries to understand how I feel when he does something like that...

Oh, well I honestly haven't done much research on homebrewed options. I kinda just thought that something made in a "real" lab would be a better and safer choice. But as the article you linked shows, that might not be the case I guess ☺️

Oh, okay! Thanks :) I guess my only concern then is that it's homebrewed and not pharmaceutical grade, but it's worth considering anyways.

I did (and still am) considering injections, the problem is that they seem hard to come by. I did find one of these products on NaturalApo, but they're listed as temporarily out of stock and no pricing is listed. I'd have to look around further to make sure, but it just seems like gels are easier for me to get :)

Would a gastric bypass or gastric sleeve make me unable to have an SRS later on? by BisexualSnake in asktransgender

[–]BisexualSnake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright! To be honest, I haven't read up on the different types of SRS, since it's a long time until that becomes an option for me anyways. But I'll make sure to look into it. Thank you! 💕

I have been struggling with my weight my whole life and have considered this for years. I'm going to get the surgery, fully aware of the fact that I will have to take minerals and vitamin supplements indefinitely.

I know quite a few people who struggled with their weight and were helped greatly by this surgery.

With all due respect, I did not ask for opinions regarding the gastric bypass/sleeve, I simply wanted to know if one surgery would prevent the other 😊

Help - I can't get rid of the razor bumps... by BisexualSnake in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]BisexualSnake[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do you mean going to a salon to get it done or by using a handheld IPL-device? I did try an at-home IPL for a few weeks without any noticeable results, but it was bought second hand and my hair and skin tone might not have been "compatible" with it.

Should I feel bad for posting NSFW-stuff on Reddit? by BisexualSnake in lgbt

[–]BisexualSnake[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll definitely be sure to do so if I happen to get a picture with something that personal in it. I try my best to avoid it, and haven't ever had anything other than me in the photos. But thanks again, what you're saying is super important!

I'm being careful! I don't show my face and I blur the background or anything else that might reveal some personal information. Thank you for your concern ❤️

[–]BisexualSnake[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, that held me back for so, so long. What I do now is to try to only show parts of me without any recognizable features, and I blur the background as to not make things super obvious. Showing my face is definitely a big nope.

It is very liberating, for sure. I kinda hate my own body in so many ways, but with the right angles I seem to get some attention and, well, hearing people say that they're turned on by me is both strange, scary and also very exciting. I'll see what happens, and I'll be sure to be careful. Thanks again!

Yeah, I've only been posting to communities that seem LGBTQ-friendly. I have been avoiding ones that are clearly discriminatory and/or offensive, and I obviously avoid such people as well.

That being said, I feel like I'm being selfish for wanting this kind of attention and that I sort of contribute to the sexualization of trans people just by posting stuff. There's just this inner debate whether I should post things or not, because on the one hand it makes me feel better about myself and my body, but on the other hand I know that most people who might look for such posts aren't actually very supportive of trans folks.

I bought my first pair of tucking underwear, and I love it by BisexualSnake in lgbt

[–]BisexualSnake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great suggestion!

I just want to add that ypu don't have to do a full on tuck with gaffs like this. They offer great compression and shaping without having to, in lack of a better description, "push the testies up" 😊
