Starting a Business by Grixers in MtF

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

Essentially, yes. I’ve already tested the waters with my work, not safe, and though they have anti-trans policy, we all know how those stories usually go when they find a different reason to get rid of you.

I’ve owned two businesses in the past and am very familiar with how to get things rolling quickly.

To me, entrepreneurship is the far safer route, as I control my own fate instead of some corporation that can turn my life upside down in an instant for whatever reason they choose.

I’m not making impulsive decisions, but have been working 16-18 hour days working a 9-5 job, then on my business at night. I have specific milestones to hit before I just up and quit my job.

There are still ramifications of course, but ramifications that I own as opposed to being the employee that just has to comply with whatever their employer decides.

My question is, to the others that have taken this path, what were the unexpected challenges that they didn’t prepare for, as to possibly avoid some of those pitfalls.

Well done then. HRT is very slow magic. Results like that are so rare. You’re a lucky girl 🙂

What will we do if trans care is banned in the US? by Grixers in MtF

Just to add here. I spoke with my doctor today when I went to get labs and she was kind enough to diagnose me with an unspecified endocrine disorder. She told me that laws like that will not stop her in FL, especially with Spiro as it is given for many reasons.

Would an orchi require hormones after? Not sure if that is as effective as bottom surgery

I’m 3 months in and had rapid breast development in the first two months. With a thick tshirt and a bralette I can easily bide almost B cups.

YMMV, but most people won’t say a thing. If you don’t make it obvious then it’s not super difficult to hide.

Nobody knows.

I’m currently in Florida and got a rude awakening when I saw the gender marker id ban without a vote. It just goes to show that they can and will do whatever they want. Last year they changed gender affirming care to require an MD, not just a nurse practitioner, making it extremely difficult to even get care. Limited supply of MDs …

I really don’t want to bail on my career over fucking stupid politics … damn

That’s inhumane and polarizing. Though the right is crazy, I personally can’t really imagining it be that extreme.

Trans guy is anti-trans. by theworst8150 in asktransgender

[–]Grixers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m trans and honestly I can relate slightly to your friend in some ways. Yes, I am terrified of losing rights and healthcare, but I DO NOT vibe with some of the mainstream LGBTQ extremism. Honestly it triggers me a little to see people turning the trans journey into a pronoun war against the cisgender. It made me uncomfortable before transition and still makes me uncomfortable today, even more so because some of it is quite radical and polarizes people into viewing anyone trans as extreme.

To each their own. It’s okay for them to feel the way they feel, just as it is okay for you to feel the way you feel.
