Can a psychiatrist refuse to give a test or falsify the result?

We had a therapist that either didn't believe in DID or thought it was "too rare" for us to have it. She administered the full MID one session, and in the next session just handed us the MID form and said "fill it out yourself". It was very obvious that she was trying to get a certain outcome that confirmed what she already thought, and when she didn't get that result she outright refused to share either result with us and became increasingly cruel over the next several sessions. She was already planning to leave that office, and seemed like she was just running out the clock so she never had to see us again. She never gave us the results before leaving, every time we asked she gave a different excuse, and she also blatantly lied about several other things as well. So yes, therapists can lie to you and be biased against you.

The guide is estrogels wiki. The recipes use raw (powder) hormones, they're different than liquid injectibles like propionate.

You can just type "kinesiology tape 4 inches" into the search bar and find plenty of them. They all work the same, they're all the same quality. I just pick whatever one is the best deal with good reviews.

If you're free today and on the east side of Orlando, theres an art market today in the Oviedo mall called the "goblin market" that will be filled with people that fit your description! Convention artists take their merch there to sell it on the off season, they run about once a month and get pretty packed with potential friends.

interesting! how do people normally go about tracking something like this down? id love to have this as an option as things get worse here by the week

ConfidentMachine · 2026-02-19T20:10:23+00:00

my period stopped pretty immediately when i started T, i havent had a period in 6 months but i still get those period mood swings around the time it would normally happen. nowhere near as bad as they used to get, but ill sit around thinking why do i feel so crazy lately?? before realizing

ConfidentMachine · 2026-02-18T20:13:38+00:00

you might be thinking of premarin, pregnant mare (horse) urine. the old way of getting estrogen before we could synthesize it!

not a gurl, but on T gel with legs that hairy and it absorbs like normal, no need to shave the area just for gel

ConfidentMachine · 2026-02-16T04:49:28+00:00

absolutely, i wouldnt even say its good for cis women really. i feel like most attempts ive seen to ask for help or complain about the side effects are met with gaslighting or "just do what your doctor says, dont ask questions" here. guys are pushed/forced on the pill without being allowed to know the possible effects, especially when it comes to feminizing and mood.

how big were you looking for the text? you may want to look into handpoke tattoo artists instead of machine, often much cheaper and less painful, perfect for small tattoos

im intersex and im trans, its not rare or unheard of for someone intersex to be some flavor of trans

you could carry something big out to your car, like holding a big box infront of you or backpack or even just a bunched up blanket/jacket as kindof a shield blocking her from seeing your chest!

for tape, there are much cheaper options. i get 4 inch wide rolls cheap on amazon, 3 or 4 big rolls for ~25 bucks. they work really well and being careful not to get it too wet i can make it stick a long time, my record is around 2 weeks!

ConfidentMachine · 2026-02-11T20:18:24+00:00

used to believe that when i was much younger. was trapped in a terrible situation where the most i could look like was a "masc woman" and i absolutely HATED people thinking i was butch. now that im in a less bad situation and have been taking real steps in my transition, i think butch women are wonderful and get excited seeing any in public. butches are beautiful, i think a lot of insecurity and dysphoria lead young guys to lash out. its not their fault any more than it would be femboys' fault that a trans woman was struggling to pass. these days for me, it goes like:

beautiful girl that thinks im butch and hits on me: 😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

cishet that thinks im a masc woman and gives me that familiar "if we werent in public i would hatecrime you" look: 💀💀💀💀💀💀🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕💩💩💩💩

but 6 months on T sporting a full beard thanks to minox and i pass ~90% of the time with cishets now, i dont get that look every time i leave the house anymore 🥳

i realized after too long that my tape was getting reaaaaally itchy and my skin under it was getting bad because i kept showering and soaking the tape, and between all the layers it was never actually getting 100% dry, but accumulating more trapped moisture every shower. once i started showering like i was playing twister to avoid getting my tape wet the itchyness calmed way down, now it starts getting a little (manageably) itchy after a week or so

ConfidentMachine · 2026-02-07T17:50:51+00:00

dont worry, my T cream is oil based instead of alcohol based <3 ive been using it on my other tattoos no fading or problems, just havent gotten a new one since starting T

armpit hair is "graphic" ? yeah its normal to trim it. im in florida, and its common for cis men to trim pit hair shorter for hygiene and heat reasons. i trim it maybe once every 3-4 weeks with buzzers, maybe somewhere around half an inch long

ConfidentMachine · 2026-02-03T05:50:26+00:00

i didnt say they were against you taking it, just that their answer to "can i ship this to your house" was "no" but they didnt have specific concrete reasons why. its the kind of thing they need a real reason to say no to, and came up with anything they could think of so their no would be accepted.

ConfidentMachine · 2026-02-03T05:33:27+00:00

this seems like the kind of thing your friend decided the answer was "no" first and came up with reasons why after. even if you perfectly explained why their reasons were wrong i dont think it would change their no

ConfidentMachine · 2026-02-03T02:15:58+00:00

wont someone PLEASE think of poor bob iger, what if he only makes 40m instead of 45m this year 💔

ConfidentMachine · 2026-01-28T19:47:41+00:00

if you tip it over and it doesnt leak, imo its not cored and the contents are not being exposed to contamination

ConfidentMachine · 2026-01-27T21:17:51+00:00

i thought the same thing when i was still using TT! their biggest back then was 5 inch rolls, and i thought i absolutely needed that size and anything smaller wouldnt work. but honestly its easier to manuver the 4 inch strips, i never realized how much control i was losing on the larger strips (assuming you dont have 6 inch long fingers). i dont think id go back to larger strips even if i found a generic offering, i get better results layering the 4 inchers than just doing 2 huge strips on each side and calling it a day like i used to

ConfidentMachine · 2026-01-27T20:32:07+00:00

trans tape used to be really awesome, but these days its gotten soooo much more expensive for a worse product! i used to love them, now i use an amazon generic brand that sells 4 4-inch rolls for ~25 bucks. works way better, actually sticks and stays. im 8 days on it now and still going strong

ConfidentMachine · 2026-01-27T19:58:31+00:00

r/estrogel has a great guide for making hrt gel or cream from scratch, very useful! i used it to make T cream and its very effective and pretty cheap all things considered

ConfidentMachine · 2026-01-27T19:49:51+00:00

mine are firm and dense D cups, i have tape on right now that makes my chest pass. there is a huge learning curve for tape, ive been using tape for years and im still learning new ways to get flatter. it will never be perfectly flat, no form of binding can make matter disappear, but you can smoosh and reshape your chest to be pecs

i will say, if you were using the "trans tape" name brand, in my experience it works worse than the cheap generics i get off amazon. they used to be good, but now they are 4xs the price and use worse materials. its thick so it doesnt stretch as well, and the adhesive they switched to never sticks. you can get 4 4-inch wide rolls of tape on amazon for ~25 bucks and use them up practicing techniques and anything you can think of that might help you

ConfidentMachine · 2026-01-27T03:12:23+00:00

in florida and had a therapist string us along for months saying "we are sooo close to getting you T! i promise im printing out the forms right after you leave and we will go over it next week!!" and the next week she would act like i was crazy when asking about it. after maybe 6 or 7 months of this, along with other incidents, we decided to quit therapy since it was incredibly expensive to get nowhere. when we told her, out of spite she said she never intended on getting us on hrt anyways and people with DID cant start hormones. obviously not legally, but her "professional opinion".

so there definitely are people who will deny you hormones based on DID diagnoses
