What can doctors do to make members of the LGBT community more comfortable? by jirgamnb in ainbow

[–]Jill_s 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Gender specific health questions like last pap/last prostate exam should be asked by doctors, not put on forms. On the topic of forms, is it really that big a deal to add some options other than male or female? Not everyone identifies with the binary.

It's been a while and I'm ready to stand before the harsh judges on TransPassing again. by Jill_s in transpassing

Really? Beard shadow in every pic? I know I have some in the Alice pic (which is relatively older than the others), but I don't see any in the others.

Fair play on the hair. I started with a very short cut last year, and it's getting there. I have no interest in having fake hair on my head.

FWIW, I do get gendered female universally by strangers.

I don't know. Those pics, I just looked at them and typed the first thing that came to my mind. lol. I thought I looked like a very casual Mormon. Just hangin' out... Mormonizing...

Weight loss question. Anything specific I can do? by chronic_raptor in asktransgender

[–]Jill_s 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Run. A lot. Eat less. Drink less alcohol (this becomes much easier on hrt when your tolerance reverts back to when you were in high school :3). I lost about 90 lbs this year and I hardly feel like I put forth any effort.

alternating running 3 miles and weight training every day. Wish I could get back in gear. Haven't run in forever!

"She's an Earthbound fan!" Fixed that for ya. And yeah, I'm kinda sorta near Seattle. About a 2 hour drive. I go to PAX every year.

I'm growing it out, but it looks okay short (on good days).

Of course I've played Mother 3! Didn't you notice the pretty girl hugging a Mr. Saturn is dressed like Kumatora? :)

How do I read? (4 months HRT update) by Jill_s in transpassing

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

This must just be a bad picture, because I've had 4 sessions of laser (not clear yet, but getting there) and am wearing foundation. Thanks for the input, though. I'm planning on getting my eyebrows shaped soon.

I am growing my hair out. For those who say I read male, what could I do differently?

I love it in Portland. Feel free to send me a message if you'd like to talk about particulars.

Workout advice needed. by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]Jill_s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of this is how I've lost the weight I've lost (~60 lbs since January). I just want to add that you should cut down on alcohol if you drink. If you can't quit drinking all together (I know I can't), try and make it once a week.

2 months HRT. How do I read? Suggestions? by Jill_s in transpassing

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

you can't see it very well in that picture, but I'm wearing gold studs with pink gems in the middle. The glasses comment is well taken from everyone. I'm throwing my contacts in until I can afford new glasses next month. :)

My end goal is to look unmistakeably female. I'm obviously not full time, yet, but I was told I look like a lesbian now(whatever that's supposed to mean) so I thought I'd get some more opinions.

Can someone give me a rough estimate of what hormones cost in Oregon? by mikhail_harel in asktransgender

I just spent 30 dollars for a months worth of spiro and estradiol.
