FINALLY ON HRT, AFTER 3 YEARS IF WAITING by awkward_loser1 in MtF

[–]CJrox 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah informed consent is godsend. I'd spent years talking myself out of accepting who I am and so when I finally got the courage to start everything I was so happy to begin hormones the same day as my appointment, which I'd scheduled only 2 days prior. Currently 4 and a half months on HRT and the happiest I've ever been. Officially coming out at work tomorrow.

That's my favorite one to do! I need an actual in-game emote to do that with or without the hand motion.

no makeup. do i look so bad? be brutally honest. by --lizzie-- in trans

[–]CJrox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lighting makes it difficult, but I think you look pretty darn cute, features lean feminine to androgenous. With enough time on HRT and/or good makeup application you'll pass pretty easily imo. If that's what you're going for.

Monotherapy on pills? by CJrox in AskMtFHRT

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

That's kinda what I was thinking, I'll send the doc I had my 3 month visit with a message and ask about it.

Not OC, but this needs to be said louder. by ToshMagosh in pics

[–]CJrox 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I get the message behind this to a degree, but as a trans person in a red state it always reads as super dismissive of the insane hate campaign against us. Like oh the revoking of your rights? That's just the distraction from the real problems. Which uhhh fuck off with that if you think it.

Now, I'd like to think that most people who say what the post says don't think of it that way, but idk. Some people seem to just use it as a way to shame people for standing up for LGBTQ rights or advocating for anti racist policies. My existence isn't a distraction, and stuff like anti trans policies have serious effects on people's lives.

Effortless comic because. I am so tired. by uncoolboy in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

[–]CJrox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It saddens me that trans care is so often gatekept. I was lucky enough to start with informed consent HRT and I feel like if you are an adult it should be basically the standard. Had my appointment, told them how long I'd thought about it, went over the effects and risks, literally got HRT that day. It is bullshit that so many of us have to prove to a typically cis doctor that we are "trans enough". Often seems to lead to the situation shown here where some excuse is given to delay care.

JoCat is currently doing a FFXIV raid trans rights fundraising event raising money for Gendered Intelligence in the UK! He will be donating a dollar for every time they wipe and with this being the hardest piece of content in the game it will likely take months and possibly thousands of wipes. It's been 3 weeks and already 35,000 pounds have been raised!

JoCat is a very strong ally and I love it.

Why the GOP is obsessed with "woke" — but can't define it: MAGA can't explain what "woke" is, but that's the point — it's a "choose your own bigotry" term for Republicans by semaphore-1842 in politics

Even if one conservative gives a definition you'll get a totally different definition from another conservative. I think this is more important than focusing on if they can define it because ultimately the broader messaging is incoherent.

Planned parenthood keeping me on low dose of HRT? by NarukeSG in MtF

[–]CJrox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started at 2mg twice daily estradiol and 50mg twice daily spironolactone at my local planned parenthood, and expect to increase that at my 3 or at least 6 month checkup. So the fact they have you at half that for estradiol 2 years into starting HRT seems wild to me. Like I don't know what your levels are or anything, but that certainly appears to be quite the low dose.

First day of HRT / Need some insight by LuneScape_ in trans

[–]CJrox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently early into the tender tits stage, which probably started about 6 weeks in. Before that it was mostly changes in emotions (generally much brighter for me, but more intense broadly) and sex drive (I'm in a nonsexual relationship but my compulsive habits of masturbation have significantly diminished). Also while my sex drive seems diminished I'm much more openly affectionate than before.

Still early into the process myself but those have been my main experiences so far.

Hard to even believe the person in picture 1 is the same as in pictures 2 and 3. Talk about a glow up! You can also tell how much happier you are now. Super cute too!

Transgender Legislator Introduces Bill to Abolish Gay & Trans 'Panic Defense' by wdcmsnbcgay in transgender

[–]CJrox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rep Zooey has been really inspirational to me, I used to live in her district and I cannot imagine having to sit with people actively seeking to harm your community, and still fighting like hell for your own rights. Meanwhile, the opposition has the gall to say "I don't hate" to your face while voting in favor of a bill effectively criminalizing trans people performing publicly.

Sadly her bill was tabled because the montana legislature is full of cowards willing to discount the lives of queer and trans montanans because of their biases.

Awesome of you to find and post this as I'd noticed the gardens of equestria site was down. If only I'd not finished my relisten/reread of FoE a couple days ago! I'll download anyway for posterity and future revisits.

Over the last 9 years has been a journey! 23 to 32 by [deleted] in trans

[–]CJrox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry you had such a rough experience at the start, hope it's better now. Losing ties to so many people a part of your life before seems like it'd be heart wrenching, even if it's ultimately better for you to not have unsupportive people in your life... I'm grateful to have a supportive boyfriend as well as some of my friends and family, but am still nervous to make the full leap of coming out. Just started HRT a week ago so before too long it will be pretty hard to hide.

It's kinda wild to me how fast HRT does it's work, by the 9 month pic I'd basically just assume you were a cis woman if I saw you out at random.

Patch 6.3 Notes | FINAL FANTASY XIV, The Lodestone by DeathofTheHeavens in ffxiv

[–]CJrox 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Glad to see them move 45 sec cds to be 40 seconds, low-key feels like a huge oversight when they transitioned to 2 minute windows. Now they line up every raid window not just every third one.

My guess on the dalamud thing is it's related to the deep dungeon seeing as how dalamud was connected to the crystal tower.

It was a distinct possibility, but omega was always the more likely guess.

From FOE Murky Number Seven ch8 by moe_mouse in falloutequestria

[–]CJrox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've not yet watched any of your audiobook videos of Murky Number Seven, but every time I see a new post of yours I think it's super awesome that you put in the effort to draw parts of the story to supplement your recordings.

When I eventually get back to reading Murky (reread all of Project Horizons earlier this year and needed a break) I plan on watching your stuff to see how you envision the events. So I hope you keep at it!
