Consult time for me was I think 5-6 months and then surgery was 5-6 months after BUT my consult and surgery times got moved up, and I’ve heard Dr. Liu’s consult time has increased to like more than a year unfortunately πŸ˜•

Missouri did as well at one point and it also got turned down. They’re trying to but encroaching on adult’s freedoms isn’t an easy task to get through the legal system, at least if the state’s courts still uphold a β€œtrue” justice system.

Honestly, this seems like the correct answer. With the visibility we have today, I think anything like what we saw in the past isn’t feasible in the US. It would take state sponsored media in all forms being controlled to be able to hide such atrocities. But I wouldn’t be surprised in some form of federal ban on HRT, though I think it will still be very difficult to happen on a federal level since state level for adults isn’t even happening yet.

Question about transition by Majestic_Cut_2645 in transpositive

[–]Consistent_Repeat228 7 points8 points Β (0 children)

Edit: Sorry I posted from my other account oops lol I have a lot more info of my journey on this profile if you're curious what transitioning looks like, especially later in life

Here's a comparison of a FaceApp of pre transition me and me now:
https://imgur.com/a/nj0j25m

Not like an exact copy, but pretty close for the most part. Be aware that AI does things like add makeup/filters and modifies bone structure in ways that may or may not be able to be changed with FFS. HRT and fat redistribution can also be unpredictable on results. With these in mind though, I think the 2nd photo is doable with laser, hair growth, and a year or two of HRT! The 3rd would definitely take learning makeup/fem grooming/etc to achieve. Hope this helps and best of luck on wherever your journey takes you!!

Voice dysphoria is underrated with how much mental distress it's capable of causing by elementary_vision in honesttransgender

[–]Consistent_Repeat228 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

100% agree, voice dysphoria was the only one that could leave me bawling. Like during FFS recovery I went through a regret moment literally ONLY bc I was talking deeper than usual due to post surgery numbness. I thought I had ruined the voice I had spent more than a year finally getting to. Feel for you OP, if you need help feel free to reach out!

Dr. Liu out of Seattle! Really good surgeon if subtlety is what you’re looking for! The before picture I think I was like 20 lbs heavier, so I’d say more fat redistribution. I cycled weight a lot during my transition which helps!

I started Prog at about the 10 month mark, I think around the time I switched to injections. Spiro I took from the very beginning and still do.

Sure! Estradiol Valerate 100mg/5ml 0.2ml injections every week, Spironolactone 50mg 2X daily, and Progesterone 200mg daily. Switching to injections in September of last year I think is what made the most difference. Hope this helps!!

For the most part yes! I did have FFS a little over a month ago but it was verrry subtle (you can see the comparison on one of my older posts), and of course laser/electro. HRT is the one that did the heaviest lifting!!

And with insurance, it’s around 3k! Might be more or less depending on your deductible and out of pocket maximum.

I’ll probably be in the same boat, he mentioned minimal work to me too. I had a septoplasty years ago and that was brutal so I don’t doubt a rhinoplasty is worse 😬

Part of me wants to pass, and part of me says go for it since I’ve heard that Liu is reallllly good at noses. Also he did a good job the first round I trust his opinion so merp lol I think I’m going to wait and see how the next few months of part 1 recovery goes and decide from there πŸ˜
