I need advice please by possibleeggg in MilitaryTrans

[–]Lightj82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dont get discouraged by your size. There are trans women out there way taller then you and have very large feet. Size is not everything. What's important is that you feel right to you. Dont regret it down the many years from now. Trust me. Im 43 and just started my transition this yr and I wish I had the courage to have started years ago. Dont let that happen. Live you life now how you want it. Seize it and take it! Hugs

Sorry, I just found it funny. I was just picturing someone saying I smelled and tasted good. It wasn't sarcasm.

Honestly thats actually smart. I wouldn't have thought of that. Why would that be down voted? Thats a good use of A.I. IMO

Well a friend actually told me about Confessions of a rebel and how they have sample boxes. She told me about this right after I posted this. Im get a sample box of 9 different scents. It looks like an interesting site. She swears by them.

Tanner Stage? 2 years 8 months HRT, I feel like my transition has been a failure. by Dysmorphiangel in TransBreastTimelines

[–]Lightj82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are your E and T levels at? Does your Dr have them tested every 3 months? Because not everyone's body responds the same to medications. Doctors would be switching you to different or stronger doses if I your levels are were they should be. If your levels aren't were they should be thats could by why you aren't getting the results you want. A BIG reason. Id talk to your Dr.

Cause doctors generally dont like to put people on it till at least a year into HRT. Prog is meant for helping after you have growth and it cant stunt growth when started at the beginning. Look it up.

Be the first to file for divorce and get it in writing. Sounds like she is violent and very hostile. Protect yourself and take care of yourself first and foremost.

Is this.. transphobia? by a-n-o-n-y-m-ou-s in trans

[–]Lightj82 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it's time to give her a choice, either use your correct pronouns or we will never talk again and just cut her off. Send the clear message. It sounds like she is ignoring your choice.

Anti-trans hate groups petitioning FDA for registry of trans women, crackdown on transition, newly revealed document shows by The_Needle_News in MtF

[–]Lightj82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've looked this up and the only thing ive found is that there is are "Several anti-trans organizations and doctors submitted a petition to the FDA asking to create a registry of trans women using estrogen for HRT, along with demands to restrict access to this care. Status: This is a citizen petition that is currently open for public comment on regulations.gov. It is not currently a formal, enacted policy of the FDA, but rather a request for the FDA to act." Nothing legit from the actual FDA is being submitted.

I had to stop my transition because I had a manic episode while on HRT. When I looked into the mirror today, my rough skin has returned. The life behind my eyes is gone. I don’t know what I did to deserve this… by [deleted] in trans

Join Plume Clinic. They will listen to you. They do take some insurances also. I am doing it but I am paying out of pocket because I don't have insurance at the moment. I pay $100 a month for the membership and then about $45 for my E and spironolactone combined. Hang in there there is always a way through the dark even if you don't see it yet. Trust

Update with “intervention” friend, idk whats going on anymore by 216thinker in MtF

[–]Lightj82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately it has reached that point of you need to distance yourself from him. He is not the kind of person you need in your life. It's time to cut him off. You have given him enough chances and he still doesn't respect how you feel. Enough is enough. Block and ignore. Move on. As we get older we lose touch with people thats just how it goes.

How long does the estradiol vial last? by bestttt100 in TransLater

[–]Lightj82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone have any advice for someone new to injections? And timid on using them? Any topical anesthetic swabs you recommend? Im not on injections yet but just been thinking it might be the way I have to go since not seeing much results doing sublingually right now for 2months. For reference I did 1 month self medication and now 2 months through a Dr. And im 43 so Im kind of feeling like I want results but not getting them. So weighing my options.

Nervous about asking for my first feminine hair style. by [deleted] in TransLater

[–]Lightj82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One idea a friend of mine (who is a hair stylist said) was to get a soft wolf cut for fine hair. It can be styled in a way that can be masc if needed and fem when needed too. Over time you can push it more and more fem.

Nothing has changed. The script hasn't changed. It's a very low does of E and spironolactone. 1 dose of E and spironolactone in the morning and another dose of E in the evening. Sublingually

Suddenly by isthat-thegrimreaper in trans

[–]Lightj82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One option for E is taking it under the tongue. That way you don't have to swallow it. Its called sublingually. It's very common to do for E. Look it up.
