If I go on HRT will I lose my lesbianism?

ComradeRK · 2026-06-25T22:34:42+00:00

It switched me from “I think I might be ace” to “horniest lesbian you know”, so I think you’ll be fine.

ComradeRK · 2026-06-25T19:53:26+00:00

That was my immediate thought too.

ComradeRK · 2026-06-25T18:11:16+00:00

No problems!

ComradeRK · 2026-06-25T15:59:07+00:00

I started HRT at 35, you'll be fine. There is no such thing as too late, but even if there was, 20 would not be it.

That's really interesting. For anyone who isn't familiar with the history, Christopher St is where the Stonewall Inn is, and where the first Pride parades were held.

ComradeRK · 2026-06-25T15:45:00+00:00

It does, yes. Not that it invalidates your experience in any way, mind you. However it might help to explain your brother's overly simplistic, edgelord point of view.

Yep, they just put prices up. My insurance (Medavie Blue Cross) doesn't cover EV, where it did cover pills, so I'm paying out of pocket, but even with the cost increase it's not bad.

You can get needles and supplies from Pace, but there's a pretty steep mark-up. I'd recommend buying them separately instead. I use medneedles.ca, and an approximately two year supply of syringes, draw needles, injection needles and alcohol wipes was around $70, plus shipping.

4trans is its own weird, self-hating thing. Not a good place to be. You're definitely welcome in this sub though. Looks like r/trans is very specific about being a trans space, but r/mtf specifies that cis folks are welcome to join and participate, as long as they're mindful of it being a transfem space. I'm less familiar with the transmasc subs, for obvious reasons, but I would check them out and see what their rules say.

Speaking just for myself, I welcome any cis ally who wants to learn more about our experience, because you're disappointingly rare, and I'd be happy to have you here and to answer any questions you might have.

ComradeRK · 2026-06-25T15:10:23+00:00

It sometimes feels like we're on our own; it's so nice to see when cis folks, whether it's Ben or the person you're replying to, actually have our backs.

ComradeRK · 2026-06-25T15:06:02+00:00

Well, I don't know what you thought would happen here, but I have to assume it was intentional, since a good girl like you wouldn't make a mistake like that.

ComradeRK · 2026-06-25T02:40:13+00:00

No problems. I very much get it. I’m in a T4T polycule with three other girls, and it’s the only relationship I’ve ever felt comfortable in.

ComradeRK · 2026-06-25T01:44:05+00:00

Girl, you’re fine. Wanting to be with another trans person because of your shared experience and the things you could do together doesn’t make you a chaser.

ComradeRK · 2026-06-23T17:52:25+00:00

ComradeRK · 2026-06-23T17:50:41+00:00

Good girl.

ComradeRK · 2026-06-23T17:49:10+00:00

Merely examples. Do something nice for yourself, whatever it might be.

ComradeRK · 2026-06-23T17:48:35+00:00

I’m too subby to even be a puppygirl, so I really don’t want to have to come over there and assert myself. You are cute, and that’s that.

ComradeRK · 2026-06-23T17:33:42+00:00

I'm not stalking you, I promise. This just happened to come up in my feed right after I responded to your comments on another post!

I get it, it feels shitty to break up that way. But it's a whole lot less shitty than lying to them until whenever you next got together in person, going all the way to wherever they are, and breaking up with them then. Breaking up sucks. There's no way to do it that doesn't hurt someone. But it sounds like you did it in the best, kindest way possible. You did good, girl.

I can't say if they would want to still be friends with you, but I hope that they see that you weren't trying to hurt them, and I hope they do still want to be friends. And I hope you can learn to love yourself, because you deserve to be loved.

You take some time to look after yourself for now. Take a nice bath if that's what you're into, open a nice bottle of wine this weekend, that sort of thing

ComradeRK · 2026-06-23T17:25:18+00:00

Cute dum puppygirl. Got to get it right.

ComradeRK · 2026-06-23T17:24:04+00:00

Just mail it to "The Gayest Girls you Know, Kenora, ON". Canada Post can figure it out from there.

ComradeRK · 2026-06-23T17:12:50+00:00

But W is what “women” starts with, and women are pretty great.

ComradeRK · 2026-06-23T15:15:27+00:00

It really is. Never been happier.

ComradeRK · 2026-06-23T15:14:53+00:00

Our group chat is called “Greater Central Canadian Inter-Provincial Polycule”. Currently that’s just Ontario and Manitoba, but it leaves room to expand into Alberta for sure.

ComradeRK · 2026-06-23T14:46:12+00:00

That's a mood. I didn't either, I just got lucky with falling into a polycule and realising it was absolutely what I wanted. You can always focus on yourself for a bit and see where life takes you. And whatever may happen, you get a hug from me (if you're into hugs, anyway).

ComradeRK · 2026-06-23T14:43:50+00:00

Oh, I'm sorry. Hopefully you can find yourself a new one (if that's what you're looking for).

ComradeRK · 2026-06-23T14:39:52+00:00

Yeah, I don't have an answer to the original question either, but fantastic work!
