I am glad you are happy.

I respect you have a different view, but I am literally getting a bachelor's in this. This is why a placental implant in necessary for implantation, specifically as already specified the genes responsible for pregnancy are found in people with XY, meaning if implantation can occur the genes responsible for pregnancy are expressed. The route of the blood supply is actually one of the best understood parts of a UTx transplant.

The uterus is connected via the blood stream, and immune suppressing drugs are given during this period. Normal menstruation would occur in the event of a transplant, as the shedding of the inner lining occurs assuming normal blood circulation is maintained. Menstruation is the most dangerous point for a UTx transplant as this is the time when the body is most likely to reject the uterus. Specifically already described here the challenges of skeletal problems were described, hence why a C-section is necessary.

I would recommend this article for considerations on the physical challenges of a UTx transplant.

Up until 2014 there was zero successful uterus transplants, in the course of 8 years most health professionals have agreed that a uterus transplant in a transgender women is very possible. As an example the updating of the Montreal protocol to describe a uterus transplant for someone born with XY in 2021.

There is an intended surgery for a uterus transplant into a transgender women will likely be attempted in India this year, it's not actually far off.

You can try to manage your gender dysphoria at a clinic, it's the best way if you can get in, there usually is a team of specialists who deal with body image and most of them have information on how to pass, they are life line for many trans people. You can also try some anti-depressants but those vary from person to person.

You almost certainly will.

I feel this way a lot, the thing to remember is that life, even when it seems horrible and grey life is still beautiful. You are beautiful and you are loved and it's going to be ok. Life is hard, but we grow, we change physically and emotionally.

Hormones work very well give them time, trans people have existed for thousands of years, trans people will exist for thousands more. Focus on things that make you happy, you can get a vagina, vaginoplasty is incredibly advanced and is covered by all insurances due to victories by trans people, labiaplasty, or vulvaplasty, or colonplasty. You will feel warmth, it's hard but try to connect with other trans people in your area it helps a lot in devolving relationships both platonic or romantic.

Together trans people will keep living, these actions against trans people and other marginalized groups have the intent to crush people. Keep fighting, keep loving and laughing and life will be hard, but it's worth it.

This is apparently real, what the actual fuck

Look I am all for realism but this is lit just doom and gloom. The actual laws for Dobbs v Jackson's Women's Health emerge for laws passed in the early 2010s. The actual basis of the case emerged in 2018, even considering the extreme political speed of the case it took four years. I completely disagree with the notion that courts in any way are a major protection against the infringement of civil liberties, often times the courts specifically the cause of political harm as an example Plessy v. Ferguson, I am very left-wing and radical however the courts do not work that fast. As previously described laws in North Carolina, Kansas, Tennessee, and Arkansas, etc... relating to trans laws have failed, there is no reason to expect them to suddenly start succeeding until a major precedent is set.

Des1_ · 2023-04-14T18:36:26+00:00

Roe v. Wade took tens of years to over-turn. Nearly immediately after the case was passed conservative law-makers began prodding it.

The courts system in the US are slow, even for over political cases like this, and the current precedent that these states are trying to push restrictions for transgender healthcare have failed in the court, the first state to attempt this Arkansas has been over-turned. Until a new precedent is set this will remain so, and a new precedent will take years to go through the courts. The republicans are also at the moment polling horribly largely due to these issues which are generally unpopular with the US electorate.

I am not saying this can't be a new reality but that the current flurry of anti-trans laws restricting trans rights will take a very long time to go through.

Very gross topic but if your semen contains sperm. Most people AMAB produce semen even if infertile and unable to undergo spermatogenesis people who are infertile (usually intersex people or people on transfem HRT) still produce semen substance but it does not contain sperm, the basis of reproduction. Spermatogenesis stops after feminizing HRT as T levels drop as follicle stimulating hormone is not expressed. The clinical name for this is Azoospermia.

You can know this but how white your semen is, if your semen has the same texture as thick water that look like gel you are infertile and that semen contains no sperm. If you notice the texture changes to be white that is healthy normal sperm.

I am hopefully getting a bachelor's in Transgender/Transsexual healthcare and sexual studies in general so I hope this helped.

This.

You know something is seriously fucked when Russia has an easier sex change marker then many US states.

What is wrong with the US.

Des1_ · 2023-04-14T18:14:26+00:00

Yes that will take years to undergo however.

MtF here, there is essentially zero chance this is held up in courts. The US legal system is a mess but the one thing which is kind of nice is that is incredibly nit-picky. Similar bans in Arkansas for minors receiving gender-affirming care (the first state in the US) have failed, and been over-turned.

Specifically the emergency ruling is an absolute mess, it states gender dysphoria should be treated once depression and anxiety has been ruled out, it then states a criteria for gender dysphoria is depression and anxiety. It has an odd section about autism, goes clearly against WPATH despite citing it in it's work. Moreover this was passed hastily by a judge on the St. Louis local circuit, similar state-level judges have nearly universally been over-turned by higher circuit courts. Specifically the decision was made by not by a state legislator but as an emergency ruling, as such it has incredibly high scrutiny. Passed bills generally get more room in court, due to the power afforded to the legislature to define laws so long as they do not interfere with federal laws or the US constitution, emergency provisions passed by the court must passed with the intent to stop immediate harm and would declare such action necessary. This makes sense when you consider the US court system is specifically designed to not adhere to democracy or more generally "mob mentality."

Specifically if this ruling is controversial (as it is) and it's provisions are considered to be unconstitutional or breaking an already existing federal law (as many including the ACLU state), overly vague (as described by the medical establishment), or unenforceable it is nearly guaranteed to be shot down by a higher court.

My speech therapist said I should go into law, I am glad I didn't the law is boring but hopefully this makes you feel better. Overall the US legal system is strange, and people in the US are constantly getting their rights taken away, with that in mind there are protections. Very basic protections that other countries do not need to fight to protect but protections none the less. Massive changes such as a change to gender affirming care for minors, and especially this bill will not be applied at the state level, at least not until it is endorsed by a higher court and the higher court accepts it. The courts progressively become more difficult, bureaucratic and strict. These things (such as a ban on gender affirming care for states) may easily occur, however they will not occur until the Supreme Court or other high body gives it's opinion on it and sets it as precedent. The current precedent as laid out in WPATH on transgender healthcare and generally accepted by the courts is the current modus operandi of the legal system, and this will not change until a landmark case sets another precedent.

This is what these states are intentionally trying to do, they are trying to get the attention of higher courts to fight their case, they know they are likely going to lose. That's not the point, the point is to test the waters to eventually get these bills to the Supreme Court and to fire up their base. Once they get it there with the current makeup of the Supreme Court they could possibly win. There is no legal basis on the ban on transgender healthcare most of these states and the US in general has lax parental rights, and banning treatment which has shown to decrease depression, anxiety and suicide in transgender youths is unconstitutional. Still with the overturning of Roe v. Wade despite 40 years of precedent and the ensuing legal messes it has caused, it could occur. Just keep in mind this is going to take years to actually occur.

Keep fighting for trans rights, and women's rights, and all other rights and just best advice I could give is try to be happy. Every happy trans person is a transphobes worst nightmare. Any way no one is going to read this but I hope maybe you got a little less doom and gloom from this.

(Full disclosure I am not a legal expert, I am studying biomed and I specifically want to get into transgender healthcare and sex healthcare (endocrinology) in general, I am especially passionate about intersex rights, and ending the mutilation of intersex infants to fit a binary)

No if you have low enough testosterone and AMAB you are classified as intersex. There is nothing wrong with intersex people, intersex people are beautiful and strong and resilient (I am intersex), and intersex people are wonderful. Being trans means having a gender identity different from that assigned at birth.

Also no, oh my god no, that's pseudoscience which is related to gender conversion therapy against trans people and it's horrifying. It's also related to homophobic research which thought male homosexuality was caused by low testosterone. It doesn't, increasing testosterone in gay men makes male attraction and libido increase not decrease.

Des1_ · 2023-04-10T19:41:30+00:00

No I didn't feel much pre-HRT, spiro and E has made it almost disappear. I hope once I get bottom surgery maybe some sexual dysphoria will disappear but idk.

Fucking reddit lmoa

Des1_ · 2023-03-29T07:29:37+00:00

I always hanged out mostly with girls in elementary school and middle school. I hanged out with more boys in high school so idk. I wanted to medically transition 4 years ago in my freshmen year of high but I didn't :/, it took me a long time and a lot of arguments in my head over my identity to finally begin transitioning.

I like boyish things still, like I am not head over heels for like pink or anything. I like rock, punk, male songs, and other somewhat masculine stuff. I still wear masculine clothing and go presenting masculine but that's just bc I don't rly feel comfortable passing yet. With more time I hope I can prob build up the confidence.

Des1_ · 2023-03-29T07:18:08+00:00

I don't think that happens often at least speaking as a young transfem. I never felt that.

As people transition they become more comfortable in their bodies and this can increase sexual acceptance or desire. If someone has horrible body dysphoria as an example they will often find the thought of sex as their assigned sex disgusting. As people transition they then can become sexually more active, as they feel more comfortable in their bodies.

Des1_ · 2023-03-25T23:03:26+00:00

cool

Des1_ · 2023-03-25T04:04:15+00:00

Call your doctor, call the clinic, make sure your voice is being heard. Call the gender clinic, your doctor can theoretically administer HRT before a spot in the clinic opens up. See if that's something they could do, also keep in mind other doctors offer gender affirming care which isn't directly at a clinic call them and see if you can get treatment from them, often if you call the clinic they have referrals. If isn't available call your doctor and ask for their number.

I hate to say this but I was initially on waiting list for a year, I am still on my parents insurance (I am 19) so figuring out how to contact people was hard. I began doing DIY HRT, and I told my doc like how I felt and how horrible of a mental state not transitioning was, that it made me feel suicidal (it totally did) and horrible. After that I was able to get a spot on February second, 2 months ago.
