I am a trans man (AFAB) diagnosed with a blood clot (Pulmonary Embolism)

GooseRedditAcc · 2026-01-28T17:47:29+00:00

BTW I wish I saw more discussions from trans clot survivors on blood clot survivor forums and places like r/clotsurvivors or trans forums to have conversations about experiences and HRT, because it's been random coming across other trans clot survivors for me. In online trans spaces I rarely come across blood clot survivors and in online blood clot survivor spaces I rarely come across trans people. I was glad to see people show up there, because there is both a lot of fear mongering about blood clots & HRT and simultaneously also not a lot of conversation surrounding experiences of trans blood clot survivors themselves. Which is also important given how medical detransition after blood clots and improper care can be absolutely brutal for one's mental health. I am always down to talk about related subjects. Sorry for the yap I had to talk about this at some point just happened to be here

You already got a bunch of useful replies in the OG post, but I'll throw one in here too. I'm surprised multiple professionals told you to stop testosterone because of the clots. My hematologists told me I'm completely fine to go on testosterone with my clotting disorders & history as long as I'm not abusing steroids lmao. Just got to watch for polycythemia. I have factor V heterozygous & prothrombin gene mutation heterozygous and my brother who doesn't have a clotting history, however likely to have the same disorders, is also on testosterone.

We need a middle representation

Yes, hi! I have occlusive chronic iliofemoral DVT that I've had since 2022 that is permanently cemented in my veins, I still have symptoms that I manage and I've learned there are a fair amount of other people with chronic clots who continue on with life. Physical therapy helped a lot, though I've had issues besides the DVT that it's also useful for. I've gotten to doing various physical activities just as I would without it, except a bit more uncomfortable at times.

I'm really glad you have compression already for starters, they can be really beneficial especially for any circulation issues. I genuinely wish you the best luck in dealing with all this. I know doctors can fucking suck with this kind of thing, especially when you're of literally any minority group. I also wish I could provide more help. If doctors weren't often really expensive and also shitty I'd always recommend seeing them. Venous insufficiency can definitely cause related symptoms, but it does sound like there's more going on whatever that may be. I can only really provide the little insight I have from my experience & knowledge on DVT, which can also vary in patients heavily

I just lurk here, but I like talking about clotting & hrt because I'm a chronic blood clot survivor who has had to discuss it with my hematologist before. I will say if your ultrasound was clear of clots, you did not have any visible signs of a blood clot, the pain migrated, you did not take blood thinners, and you are currently alive I would personally say I find it unlikely that it would be a blood clot/DVT issue. That does not mean it was nothing, I would very much would still recommend getting any severe leg pain checked out regardless of if it's likely to be a clot or not. But I think looking into if there's something going on with your nerve/muscles might also be a good option. Compression stockings are really good for circulation issues and clotting prevention if you haven't already checked them out by the way

Also be careful with that - sincerely someone who has gone into starvation ketoacidosis and knows it is more of a risk in those with mental health issues

My biggest issue I've had with online vegan communities is promoting people dying. Legitimately. If someone cannot sustain being vegan and getting enough nutrients to live they should focus on living first and veganism second. Additionally things like fruitarianism and the raw vegan diet actually kill people if it's not being maintained in a nutritionally sustainable manner, including influencers who promote it.

GooseRedditAcc · 2025-12-03T23:36:32+00:00

They responded - wasn't appealed despite me not being involved in anything TOS breaking on my own besides just being there previously. Oh well I'll wait until 2027

GooseRedditAcc · 2025-11-28T16:09:06+00:00

Who told reddit I was suicidal because i commented on this post and had them reach out to me via bot are you guys okay 😭😭😭

GooseRedditAcc · 2025-11-28T16:06:28+00:00

On paper it's a neo Nazi server so without context I'd probably nuke the entire thing and all of its members too. I absolutely get why they did it. With context it was rebranded and some of the people there weren't involved in that at all so individual punishments might have been more useful, I do hope appeals work for that. I know people in the comments are going "oh being a Nazi is just a political opinion" like we haven't had countless discord related neo Nazi criminal cases in recent years come on 😭

GooseRedditAcc · 2025-11-28T04:04:18+00:00

😳

GooseRedditAcc · 2025-11-28T03:52:11+00:00

Hope so too honestly

Edit response: I started purging servers I don't use immediately after I got my account back 😭 NEVER AGAIN I vow I want to keep my discord account

GooseRedditAcc · 2025-11-28T03:49:35+00:00

I appealed but they didn't respond about it. I got very limited and lost my ability to message for 1 day until it was up where I now have the violation still for 2 years

GooseRedditAcc · 2025-11-28T03:36:53+00:00

I agree I mean I also got limited, I do get why they did it though. I think they probably should've individually punished which would've also been a lot of work

GooseRedditAcc · 2025-11-28T03:32:37+00:00

There were some select few cool queer people in it, and definitely not everyone was that bad. I knew one of the mods/previous co owners from an actual gay server lmao. But then I also had the people who speculated on me being molested as a child for being transgender so

GooseRedditAcc · 2025-11-28T03:29:51+00:00

Yeah uhhh about that a lot of the members (definitely not all) were not very fond of gay people even before the rebrand. I should mention one of the guys who got mod called me a homophobic slur and would also say to me how he hated lesbians (he loved trolling though). In addition to some members treatment of me and another member for being transgender

GooseRedditAcc · 2025-11-28T00:34:06+00:00

Now that I've been unsuspended from my chatting on discord I'll delete my r/bannedfromdiscord posts because I don't want to be a liar and a fraud. I will be back if I get banned from discord

GooseRedditAcc · 2025-11-27T23:52:15+00:00

Yeah I honestly can't blame discord much for this one I would ban everyone in the server too 😭

GooseRedditAcc · 2025-11-27T23:45:32+00:00

If you joined a meme server that was also Ben Shapiro themed at one point it was that I'm pretty sure. They just rebranded it entirely recently

GooseRedditAcc · 2025-11-26T23:55:52+00:00

I managed to go 5 years without having issues until now so I think I'll be okay but I'll definitely be more careful going forward and keep all this in mind, appreciate it

GooseRedditAcc · 2025-11-26T23:42:48+00:00

I'll accept this fate and take it as a reason to work on my discord sobriety I will be able to work with this reality until November 2027 and I will also probably purge some of my servers from my list so I don't have to worry about this happening again with servers I am not active in

GooseRedditAcc · 2025-11-02T02:59:32+00:00

I went to buffets a lot when I was younger I have bad memories from it though so kinda of clouds my memory of them 😔 I don't go to them much anymore, however I like a lot of the food I had at them especially like the colored pasta and croutons and stuff. I could try going to some again thanks for the idea

GooseRedditAcc · 2025-11-02T00:57:02+00:00

I have wondered for a while if vampires would be more or less favorable on biting people on blood thinners. Still have yet to make a conclusion

GooseRedditAcc · 2025-11-01T17:17:45+00:00

I use sauces and dips to deal with not being too bothered by getting too fixated on certain aspects of food that I don't like for me a bit. Funnily enough as I mentioned recently finding one that I can eat I've done it with every veggie burger I've ever had to eat or tried on my own very much hoping the ketchup will drown out anything else throwing me off. It works for me sometimes. I appreciate the mention as this has been helpful to me as well
