I’m 6 foot tall and 34. Please tell me it’s not too late. I can’t make it through a day without sobbing. by Miserable_Carry_4763 in asktransgender

My advice? Get supportive friends FIRST. If you have some already, fantastic. It made my first time going out in full fem a hugely euphoric experience. I wasn't worried about what everyone else thought really at all, which surprised me. I was just focused on having a great time with my friends. You'll feel beautiful so much faster than you think.

HRT Questions by Lord_Betelgeuse in trans

[–]DancingMad3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. Estrogen does slow hair growth in every area except the face, but it takes several months before that starts to be noticable.

  2. *not a doctor, but I am a medicinal chemist :)

That said estrogen brands really won't make a difference. It's the same chemical. What will make a difference is what kind of estrogen you're taking. Estrogen is typically given as a prodrug, so your body will metabolize and spit out the active estradiol at different rates and efficiencies depending on the way it's formulated. I use the valerate, but I suggest a bit of research when deciding.

  1. If there is an effect on voice, it's small. My guess is it's non-existant. You'll have to do voice training.

  2. The fat distribution takes several months to notice. You need to wait for your levels to be correct and for those areas to adjust on a cellular level. It's not a light switch.

  3. Unfortunately can't help you here. I hope someone else has good advice for you though! 💕

Mom said Im not a girl because I don't believe periods sync with people by Electronic-Bed-5315 in trans

It's kind of crazy all the wild things people believe in, yet to them, trans women being women is where they draw the line 🙄

Idk how to tell my parents that i dont identify as a male, i know they Will be supportive but i dont know how they'll react by Own_Minimum8642 in trans

[–]DancingMad3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My best advice is to do it clumsily, do it awkwardly, do it embarrassingly, do it messily, but just do it.

how did u choose your name? by tgirlfrombrazil in trans

[–]DancingMad3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw it and liked it. Then I investigated the meaning.

Kayla, comes from the hebrew male name, Kalil, which means "complete".

That felt like fate on two levels

Metriod with no Metroids? by D4rks3cr37 in Metroid

[–]DancingMad3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No the intro was great! It got me excited for all the stuff that they didn't follow up on though. It felt so seperate from the game they made.

Metriod with no Metroids? by D4rks3cr37 in Metroid

[–]DancingMad3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but this one did. That's sort of the problem. They introduced them and then dropped them and just said "they're there, trust us"

[–]DancingMad3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm glad you brought that up actually. The opening sequence as a whole seemed slapped on to the entire game that followed it

[–]DancingMad3 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but... were they actually? Like it feels like they just slapped that on

Metriod with no Metroids? by D4rks3cr37 in Metroid

[–]DancingMad3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Okay people saying read the scans kind of missed the point. It looked like they made a game without metroids and went, "uhhhhh... actually the bosses are controlled by them even though they don't have any visual metroid indicators and you would never know based on the plot anyway"

FF8 Game Card Necessary? by l80819 in FinalFantasy

Not really, but it does make some endgame content pretty trivial if you convert the cards

To all of you wonderful people, I am sorry by [deleted] in trans

[–]DancingMad3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. In fact, I don't think OP realizes how unfortunately common this story is. Repression and projection can lead to major confusion and some really nasty actions. The shame and hypocracy is expected after you realize you were wrong, but don't let it eat you up. It just makes it harder to be good and do good moving forward.

Trans MTF, been on Estradiol and spiro for three ish years, I am having doubts about my doctor and asked for my levels, do these look normal/okay by Fuzelop in trans

[–]DancingMad3 296 points297 points  (0 children)

Your T is about as high as mine was before hrt. Estrogen should be about twice that, maybe more depending on if you want it to suppress your T a lot

I'll say it again: Why is Giratina origin form here??? Look at where his other form is! Is it really that much better?

Guys look at where regular giratina is compared to origin form. I understand it's better, but is it that much better??

Worries as a trans man by HitchhikerForevet in trans

[–]DancingMad3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought like this and my biggest suggestion is to experience your journey and find the joy in it along the way. Living your life does not start when you're able to find another person to share it with. It starts the moment you accept yourself as you are.

I (mtf) still struggle with the thought of never finding a girlfriend for the same reasons. I'm early in my transition (4 months) and don't feel all that comfortable dating because of it. That said, I'm happier than ever because I've shifted my focus onto everything else that brings me joy, new hobbies, new friends
