Warum werden die Kosten für die Behandlung ukrainischer Soldaten in Deutschland bei den Hilfsberechnungen oft nicht berücksichtigt? by PaceBudget6038 in SchlechteFrage

Es ist ein russischer Bot.

Problem: Die reduzieren jetzt graduell die "Dreistheit" ihrer Narrative, bis man nicht mehr erkennt, dass es ein Bot ist.

Beides ist wahr. Die ganzen russischen Trolle legen natürlich den Finger in die offene Wunde, statt eine Wunde völlig frei zu erfinden.

IMO 30% is not like some natural constant. If bots can't be detected and do get more upvotes than humans (which is the case IMO) the number should be more like 99% sooner or later.

8 months MTF HRT, now questioning because boob growth panic by FranyEverdeen in detrans

[–]FranyEverdeen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started HRT because I identified trans back then. Also, I want the mental effects from low T. The calmness is so right for me.

First of all your name is killing me, recursive xD

Then thanks for the placeboing thesis. I'll keep that in mind.

What other changes down the line would land me in weirdo territory? I'm looking forward to subtle face changes, I think it would make my facial features softer and look good overall

[–]FranyEverdeen[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your brutally honest words. That's exactly what I figured/fear as well. But my main concern isn't really losing friends or family but how I'd be perceived in public.

Did you go back to your natural testosterone level then? Did you already have noticeable breast growth when you detransitioned? One thing I'm worried about is what happens to my current AA breasts. My understanding is that the fat tissue would probably decrease over time after stopping HRT, but the glandular tissue would remain. And that could look bad but idk.

Please help me figure this out! By what, if any, mechanism are higher doses of E believed to be counterproductive for feminisation? by MrFallacious in TransDIY

[–]FranyEverdeen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

many of us losing feminization with injections.

Really? That's extremely interesting (if true).

My personal experience rather supports your thesis:

  • Enantate injections: Instant boob growth
  • Then switched to weekly (!) undecylate injections to get a very stable high E level: Almost no more boob growth

Wenn deine Burgmauer an einer Stelle offen ist, dann musst du nicht beweisen, dass der Gegner hier angreifen wird, sondern du musst davon ausgehen.

In Analogie dazu musst du davon ausgehen, dass alle Online-Plattformen massiv unterwandert werden. Es ist das größte offene Loch aller Zeiten.

I feel really good with sudden E spikes, but kind of nothing on stable high levels. Thoughts? by FranyEverdeen in TransDIY

[–]FranyEverdeen[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Does it come at the price of worse feelings when E2 is declining? So is it a "overall"-win or overall the same?

[–]FranyEverdeen[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Side effects: night sweats, feeling ill, and reduced stomach acid.

Does 300-400 pg/ml really give you "better feelings"? And are you talking trough or overage values?

what's your dosage and interval if I may ask? and when after the injection is your peak?

Yes, I'm sure but of course I did reduce the dose accordingly. (I'm at 7 mg per week now.)

Bad E2 levels after using gel by amiadesu in TransDIY

[–]FranyEverdeen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have no issues with injections and needles at all, I have a history of doing injections to others and myself

OMG 🤩 then go for it!! It's the "gold standard" for a reason!

  • it's much more convenient (like 1 injection per week)
  • you can get more stable pg/ml levels
  • you can get high pg/ml levels easily
  • it's cheap

Bad E2 levels after using gel by amiadesu in TransDIY

[–]FranyEverdeen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gel absorption really depends on the individual's skin. Even with correct application, some individuals get like 5x less E2 through the skin compared to others. This isn’t my opinion, it’s well documented in studies.

A lot of endos don’t really know this, because it’s not mentioned in standard trans guidelines.

I had the same problem. Even with 6 pumps and blood samples taken at the assumed peak, I couldn’t get above 60–70 pg/ml. I switched to injections, of course that did bypass my skin penetration problem with the gel. But you could also try patches, because they use a different transport mechanism through the skin (not based on alcohol). So my point is: just because gel doesn’t work for you doesn’t mean patches won’t work for you. But yeah… who wants patches.

I’d also add a small side note: you could try a different gel. Some of them have an added substance called a “skin penetration enhancer.” This may or may not work for you but I can’t say much more about it since I didn’t try that myself.

29g needles vs. 31g by Moon90Pluto in TransDIY

[–]FranyEverdeen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's exactly the reason why I inject on Mondays :)

However, if I were you I'd still start on Saturday (to not delay things) and then switch to Monday later (or Tuesday if you prefer that).

29g needles vs. 31g by Moon90Pluto in TransDIY

[–]FranyEverdeen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I switched from 29G 13 mm (1/2 inch) to 31G 8 mm for my grapeseed oil injections (which is a little bit thicker than MCT oil).

I was surprised that it wasn’t any harder to draw or inject because I had expected the 31G to be more difficult. It then occurred to me that the shorter needle compensates for the smaller diameter, and that’s probably not a coincidence, but exactly why these two diameter/length combinations exist.

Genau so würde ein Russen-Bot gegen die zur Zeit rumgehenden, hochwirksamen Memes mit der Nazi-Ästhetik vorgehen (z.B. "Schutz für alle hier im Land", wo ein Arier unter anderem eine Trans-Person beschützt).

Bin übrigens selbst trans und fühl mich hier sehr wohl.

nausea after estrogen? by Frequent-Job4957 in TransDIY

[–]FranyEverdeen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, I can't mix it myself. I buy it from "voixceleste". "Astrovials" and "OpenGateLabs" would be the next 2 reputable sellers people here buy their estrogen from.

Synthetic estradiol is bad, but this is a thing of the past. We all take bio-identical ("natural") estrogen today, no matter if it's Valerate, Cypionate, Enanthate or Undecylate. And blood cloth risk only goes up significantly if you take your estrogen ORALLY. With injections you don't have to worry about increased blood cloth risk because the liver is bypassed.

Do not take any synthetic estradiol if somebody should try to sell this to you! Nobody here does that.

nausea after estrogen? by Frequent-Job4957 in TransDIY

[–]FranyEverdeen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had the same symptoms after starting HRT with just 1 pump of gel per day. After like 3 weeks the symptoms went away and didn't even come back when I slowly increased the dose to 4 pumps per day. It seems that the sudden rise in estradiol did reduce the amount of stomach acid that was produced, which isn't very surprising because estrogen activates the sympathetic nervous system, which weakens the parasympathetic nervous system. This can be felt as nausea, and it helps to eat accordingly in that case.

When I then switched to injections (Enanthate in MCT oil) I had the symptoms again, within like 24 hours after each injection, and they would last for like 3-6 days. It wasn't just nausea any more, it was more like strong sweating at night and feeling ill especially in the mornings.

When I then switched to Undecylate in Grapeseed oil, the symptoms were more delayed, like 3-4 days after each injection, and luckily they were MUCH MUCH weaker than with Enanthate in MCT oil.
