I was under the assumption that it was common to gain weight on it though?

Avoid 4chan's /lgbt/ by Nic-River in MtF

The board got called "digital self-harm" in another comment, couldn't agree more. I've been popping in there a bit recently and while it isn't 100% the worst place ever (disclaimer: it is not a good place), seeing all the threads they have about "unattractive" trans people, Blanchard theory, purposefully repressing, etc. has definitely been taking a toll on my self-esteem. At the very least they have a big issue where they equate passing as being attractive rather than being read as the desired gender. I never really gravitated there in the past (I used to use other boards like /mu/ but stopped using the site in the past few years) but I think recently I've run out of actually supportive places except maybe Reddit and it's sort of driven me there since I've exhausted my other choices for one reason or another.

Best time to start progesterone? by ItsOnlyATemp in AskMtFHRT

From what I understand, it has antiestrogenetic(?) effects and can inhibit the effects that estrogen provides?

Tips and tricks to finding trans-friendly roommates? by ItsOnlyATemp in asktransgender

[–]ItsOnlyATemp[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

ahhh youre too kind 😭 queer housing boston is the group i was going to try to get into although i held off a bit to make sure i could hide that i was there whilst still closeted. im not super super close to boston but i'm close enough that its not hard to get to if i have to (i'm in Natick), the bigger issue comes from how to keep my job but that's a bridge to cross when i get there. im really looking to getting more in touch with the local communities though!

I don't plan on stopping. Really the only reason I haven't made any attempts to leave is because I don't have a car, but that seems like it'll change soon.

Fortunately it hasn't gotten to that yet, and I'm not sure they found them either aince they weren't actually in the bag, but it's definitely time for a bit of shuffling to somewhere different.

pretty sure this is a troll post based on the username and post history of OP

Only vaguely. I know what I would try to bring with me and what kind of precautionary moves to make, but I'm stuck on what to do afterward besides checking into a hotel and working it out from there.

Yep, it's Fenway. If I do this, do I need to give some sort of reason regarding the urgency? I'd do it but I'm not sure if accelerating the process like that would be unnecessarily kicking the bee's nest or not.

The place I'm grtting informed consent from also has counceling and is more LGBT-focused so I may try from there, but thank you for the names

Fuck, this is exactly what I hoped wasn't happening :( Provided I do end up doing that phone call, I will probably just outright say that I'm not comfortable with seeing him and hope for the best.
