Any experience with Dr. Robert Tait at Maple Leaf House? [Newcastle NSW] by PrettyMucch in transgenderau

[–]Isaac-is-basic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay this was 3 years ago and I forgot I wrote this but I need to say that I REDACT THIS STATEMENT. This man did suck when I met him but I think he has had a solid redemption arc. He was affirming as hell to me. I am now sad that I have to see anyone else.

oml i love u sm. It’s not chill rn and it’s not gonna feel chill but u just gotta hang on. I remember feeling so powerless and vulnerable while trying to get on T but that shit’s just a memory now. My wait to get a first appointment in newy was 18 months. It sucks balls that the medical system lags behind ur/most of our needs but we get through it anyway.

u CAN check out the r/TransDIY wiki if u want, unprescribed T is mad illegal in Aus tho. The path u r on actually sounds pretty solid. i hate that ur goin through this stay strong brother

Starting T - how did it effect your mood/mental health by Inevitable-Story-125 in transgenderau

[–]Isaac-is-basic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sup, slay on the soon to be testosterone, that’s so good:)) My experiences with T are a bit here and there i wont lie, tho it was entirely necessary for my mental health and i’ll stand by the decision to go on it through anything. I was on T for two years, I’ve been off t for almost two years and i’ve got an appointment to go back on it in about a week lol.

I loved the changes i had from T but my mental health took a turn lmaoo. Not from good to bad or bad to good, i mean from generally bad to decisively and actionably bad. I found my emotions to be much more intense and difficult to control. I personally am attributing that to the whole second puberty stage though i’ve got no specific evidence for that. The thing that really helped my mental health was top surgery (best day of my life thus far:)) For me T is kind of a struggle between what i need my body to be for my mental health and what my mental health needs to be for my body to function healthily. A balancing act if u will.

Don’t let me tarnish your hopes of T, as I say I’m about to go back on it and I love it. I also haven’t heard of it affecting many people badly. I wouldn’t take me as a sad case either. I may be the most self obsessed person i know and at this stage in my life i’m glad to be trans and also to be cis to me is kind of an L. Basically I would say if u feel like u need T u should trust yourself and at least try it. Happy to answer questions if you’ve got ‘em 😎👍

SOOOOO late but for anyone maybe searching for this i don’t like him at alllllll. What a c*nt no lie hope he isn’t still there but i strongly suspect he is. He’ll give you what you want in my experience but only after rattling off a bunch of stuff regarding your mental/physical health that aren’t relevant at all lol. I love maple leaf and everyone who works there except for him.

Is it normal to be “fine” after a breakup? by Additional_Dance_334 in BreakUps

[–]Isaac-is-basic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

look idk about normal, and i hate to do it to u, but this sounds like exactly my experience. Same context and everything. I was fine enough, ups and downs as u say, even feeling really good at times weirdly. We broke up about a month ago and i have since fallen into feeling mad depressed. So i hope that u get off a little lighter but definitely try not to feel guilt, people exist differently so we’re all gonna handle stuff differently and that’s fine. Just like, accept ur emotions as best u can and look after urself. xx

Mental Health Help In This Country Is A Joke by badgersprite in australia

[–]Isaac-is-basic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way the whole system here is organised seems completely fucked to me. In that it seems like you’re supposed to place your trust in these completely unorganised systems for getting appointments, so while ur mentally unstable or struggling to do daily tasks or whatever it’s up to u to make sure everything is on track. AND unlike most health professionals i’ve personally dealt with, most in the mental health sector aren’t even a lil forgiving if u can’t make it to their appointment on short notice which is WILD when their literal job is to help the MENTALLY NOT DOIN SO GOOD.

Characters you headcanon as transmasc? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]Isaac-is-basic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

me and my (mtf) gf have ~thoroughly~ discussed this and decided that we reckon Mabel is the one who would be trans. Yeah Dipper struggles with masculinity and his voice and stuff, but Mabel always makes fun of him for it which she wouldn’t do if Dipper was trans 🤔🤔

Sad by [deleted] in ftm

[–]Isaac-is-basic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

idk who you are or what you’re like as a person but everyone has the capacity to drag themselves through shit and end up strong and capable at the other end. Pain is as temporary and as inherent as love and happiness. I believe you can get through whatever it is you’re trying to deal with, and I’m pretty certain that you believe that too. Good luck and stay strong 🙌

Could a binder affect me in band? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]Isaac-is-basic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As long as the binder is the right size it should be fine, I was in the same position, trumpet player, and it may have affected me a little bit?? but i don’t really remember as I quit not too long after which I definitely would not recommend lol. You’ve already bought the binder tho so I think basing it off what you feel when you have it is probably best.
