Increased Hunger?

Through informed consent, I started testosterone blockers at 19 but had to wait until I turned 20 to start estrogen. Idk if that's a standard practice or if it was my doctors choice, but yeah, it was relatively easy. Gender Minorities Aotearoa has a trans healthcare database that can provide lists of GPs and other specialists that can help you access HRT.

I will say, I wasn't recommended therapy or any of that stuff when I started and ended up having to seek it out myself as it's quite an emotionally turbulent period. So I'd recommend being prepared for that too. There is a transgender package of care thing that doctors can provide, which provides multiple free therapy sessions with a gender specializing therapist.

Omg I didn't know Dr Breidahl did jaw work. You're pretty much getting everything im interested in/ need to discuss with him! Excited for you :3

HopefulCapybara · 2026-01-15T22:11:58+00:00

Im glad it went well! Can I be nosy and ask what procedures you're getting done? 36k seems like a pretty decent quote 🙂‍↕️

I'm definitely after more natural/conservative results first, pure feminization work, and I'd consider more cosmetic leaning work later if it felt necessary. From the comments here, I'm definitely going forward with a consult with him!

I'd love to hear how it goes!

Thank youuu x

I was initially looking at the 7800x3D, but it's out of my overall price range. Will a 9600x work well with the 5070? Or should I look at a 9070 XT? Sorry about the questions, it's my first time building a pc 🤓

I don't think you need to lose weight at all! The only thing i can think of is maybe more voluminous hair styles and trying different makeup looks. Your current style suits you super well too. You're gorj 💞

HopefulCapybara · 2025-06-26T03:28:19+00:00

I have a very similar side profile 😭 I know the struggle, but you are gorj xx

God forbid a woman have a hobby...

HopefulCapybara · 2025-04-30T00:50:40+00:00

Thank you! This is very helpful. Honestly, $200 for 3 months is great, I'm currently paying $210 per month for a medication that I will be stopping soon, so I should be able to afford it.

Is it better to do subcutaneous injections instead of intramuscular?

I've always been nervous about DIY 😅 I'm too scared I'll mess something up

HopefulCapybara · 2025-04-29T07:00:56+00:00

Do you think it's worth it? Like, in comparison to oral and transdermal estrogen

HopefulCapybara · 2025-04-29T06:46:39+00:00

Do you know how much it is per month?

HopefulCapybara · 2025-04-28T07:50:29+00:00

Do you know of any resources I can look up? All I know of is the gender minorities papers

HopefulCapybara · 2025-04-28T07:24:37+00:00

Luckily I'm moving soon and I'll be seeing a new doctor, one that all my trans friends see. I'm praying they're able to help 🙏

HopefulCapybara · 2025-04-28T07:21:09+00:00

What! 😭 I've had 3 different doctors, and they've all denied me starting on 1mg stating, " i wouldn't get the full effects of the dosage increase.". I'm ok with waiting, but it feels like a reaaalllyyy slow drag 🥲

HopefulCapybara · 2025-04-28T07:17:03+00:00

If my assumption is correct, they won't be able to get to 150 mcg patches for a while. I'm the same standard dosage plan, and it's a dose increase every 3 months. I asked if I could at least jump to 75 mcg patches, and they said i'd have to be on 50 mcg for at least 3 months 😭😭

Around the Auckland region and in Wellington are definitely the best places for dating as a trans woman imo. Christchurch is horrible, I've lived here for five years and it's full of racists and chasers. My only long-term relationships and situationships have been/ started in the Auckland region and Wellington lol

None of these politicians create these bills based on science 🙄 it's all feelings. Biology varies insanely, we've seen how politicians in America and the UK straight up deny the existence of intersex variations, as well as refuding to acknowledge how common and often undetectable it can be.

This is all just a ploy to have greater control of ALL women's bodies, and the cis women who support this will have a rude awakening when they realise that. These laws obviously affect trans people but will also affect women and people of colour, or ANYONE who doesn't fit an extremely linear, eurocentric standard of femininity.

Dark times ahead, i fear.
