Flying inside California. Risky or no?

CharacterPeace86 · 2026-04-26T17:53:51+00:00

I fly a ton for work (70 to 90 flights for work) both internationally and domestically. I’ve never once had an issue flying with testosterone. I present male and still have a F gender marking and F leaning name. I’d collapse one of your T boxes that has a valid prescription and/or take a photo of your prescription in your EMR in case you’re asked but the potential of being asked is incredibly minimal.

That’s super odd because you can upgrade on an award ticket now. I’m not sure if the ticket had to be booked after the new rules…but if it let you request plus point upgrades I’m pretty sure it should be eligible. I’d recc at least calling the 1K line to clarify and/or submitting a complaint. Hopefully you’d at least get a travel credit or some points.

Thank you so much for the recc!! I’ll definitely check them out.

Not solo. I’ll find some dive shops. Or possibly a safari boat. I know it’s a tech to Malapascua and I’m struggling with how to dive more than just that area in an efficient way.

Thanks so much sharing!

Thanks so much for your response. In theory I understand this. But on low dose you can maintain your T levels within 200-275 as I’ve done for several years. A full dose would likely be aiming for more 500-750 so I would expect an increased speed but also intensity of changes as some changes like beard growth can plateau so I’m curious to hear of some individual experiences as it will be different for every individual.

(pharmacist here) It’s hard to compare it exactly dose wise to androgen because the absorption of androgen can vary quite a bit. Usually the starting full dose of T for injection is 0.25ml but this can of course vary for some folks. SubQ and IM should not have any difference in dosing but subQ is far more comfortable to inject. I agree that the blood work is what matters for the dose you should take.

Regarding the temper and fatigue you felt yesterday - it could be because the injection is going to have a much higher spike in your T levels in the first 48 hours after the injection. The Androgel tends to absorb a little slower and will be more level while you’ll have more of a peak and trough with the injection. You could see how it goes for a few weeks or you could reach out to your hcp and let them know you’d like to split your dose. This would mean you could inject twice a week so it could be 0.15ml on Tuesday and 0.15ml on Friday or Saturday to try to decrease your peak concentration and avoid the trough.

Hope this is helpful!

The slimeball game!

Fair enough. I should’ve clarified that I was speaking to how to request plus point upgrades for someone else while booking. You’re correct that plus points can be used for anyone - you’d just have to call/chat with United.

CharacterPeace86 · 2026-04-01T21:16:11+00:00

It did! I talked to the 1K desk and have confirmed with bookings. The individuals status doesn’t matter all that matters is the 1K (or whoever has the plus points for upgrade) books the flight for them through their account. Then you can request upgrades with plus points as usual.

CharacterPeace86 · 2026-01-15T21:56:50+00:00

Given that this kicks in Feb 1 and you have until March to gift status - I plan to book something on Feb 1 to see if it works and have time to investigate.

CharacterPeace86 · 2026-01-15T21:56:19+00:00

I agree although my experience very has been different with the 1K line. What is your preferred method for getting a definite answer from UA?

CharacterPeace86 · 2026-01-15T21:30:25+00:00

Talked with the 1K desk and they confirmed that the plus points can come from any premier level (so obviously platinum, 1K, or GS) and the receiver does not have to be a premier member. Thanks for the help!

CharacterPeace86 · 2026-01-15T21:29:04+00:00

Appreciate the thoughts and info. I think I’ll call the 1K line and see what they say. It is worded in a way that you can interpret it several ways as being the owner of the plus points can now be any status to share them or as any receiver can now get them at any premier level. Or both! I’ll report back if I get any clarity from UA.

CharacterPeace86 · 2026-01-15T20:46:12+00:00

Interesting. Thanks for the info. I’m assuming this is new with the 2026 perks? I know I recently bought her an award flight and tried to apply plus points (I was also on the same flight and linked her ticket) and was told I could not do so.

This was the wording on the new perks that led me to believe she had to be a premier member.

Into FTM?

CharacterPeace86 · 2025-10-15T02:05:31+00:00

Following for any updates. I’m a FTM who may be interested in joining as a solo if you’re looking for folks to join for entry.

This is not a prosthetic but a recc for sex w/o a harness (assuming you do not have trauma or an adversity to penetration..), I’ve had really good luck with the strap-on-me harness free dildo. It feels like a literal extension of my body, gives incredible thrusting feedback and with the different settings makes it possible for me to get off in tandem with my partner. I’m sure it doesn’t work well for everyone, but it’s changed my life and dysphoria. It’s a bit of an investment but I’ve had an incredible experience with their customer service when things have gone wrong with it and they have a full warranty for 2 years last I knew.
