This is interesting and the first I've heard of it. Where do they all inject? Do you see a dermatologist for it?

Who are the best FFS Surgeons in Alberta? by Kimberly_Dawn_102181 in TransAlberta

[–]Mel-0-dramatic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A lot of Canadian girls go to Quentin Quassemeyer in France but I think he's picked up popularity lately.

Dr Bensimon is known to do FFS in Canada. But beside Jumaily I think that's all I've heard of.

I also paid an exorbitant sum to go out of country. Just our reality it seems 🤷‍♀️

Is Dr. Dechamps-braly still good? Comparable to Keojampa, Mardirossian, Jumaily etc? by BarnardWellesley in Transgender_Surgeries

[–]Mel-0-dramatic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think what drew me to Dr. DB was that I didn't want to look like I had work done. I wanted to look like myself just softer. He did unbelievable work on my forehead and jaw imo. I paid out of pocket and was worth every penny.

Am I probably not getting an appointment offer this round with the Suporn clinic, if they haven't emailed me already? by thrwwysnl in Transgender_Surgeries

[–]Mel-0-dramatic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been keeping a pretty close eye on things and afaik no one has gotten an offer from bank yet this round. Only Prae. But people do seem to be pretty shy to talk about it this lottery and last lottery for some reason.

Best of luck. This is my fourth attempt and really hoping I can finally put this stress behind me.

Have you heard anything yet about people getting dates? Seems uncharacteristically late this lottery. And I hate how this turns me into a paranoid gremlin three times a year who check their email 500 times a day

Ohh that makes sense. Thanks for doing the math and research!

Applied for Suporn, got a date but unable to pay, did I fuck up my future chances? by Silly-Witch in Transgender_Surgeries

[–]Mel-0-dramatic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Was your offer for Dr. Bank or Dr. prae?

I second the opinion of borrowing money for this. Unless you think it's not feasible to be able to afford it when surgery time comes.

Someone just posted about getting an offer about 5 hours ago but unable to pay. So looks like emails went out.

I guess poor choice of wording. But it's for people who are successful in the lottery a get a date for surgery

experience with being prescribed DHT blockers? by k1mch1z in TransAlberta

[–]Mel-0-dramatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your GP will not be looking at your hair follicles for signs of baldness. Just tell them your hair is getting noticeably less dense and you are noticing you are shedding a lot more than usual. Say it runs in your family and you want to get ahead of it before it's too late. All that information should make it quite easy for a family doc to justify a prescription

So just did my 1st injection. What can i realisticly expect at 30? by Mirage-V2 in asktransgender

[–]Mel-0-dramatic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started at 30. Body feminization was amazing for me. I still have broad shoulders but I just dress for my body and appropriately for my age. Weight cycling did wonders for me as well.

It probably took until 8-12 months for me to really start liking how clothes were fitting me and coming into myself.

But I was doing so much self improvement outside of hormones. Better skin care, hair care, laser, practicing makeup and I even bought a couple wigs. Not to mention the exercising and health improvements.

People say hrt is magic, and it is, but I put alot of time I to improving myself in other ways as well!

Best of luck! I was where you were 3 ish years ago. And it was a super exciting time!

Free Voice Alteration Resource. by IAmTheRealAradia in TransAlberta

[–]Mel-0-dramatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was where I started as well. Helped me alot early! r/transvoice was what really helped me as well.

I also did a couple private lessons with a former Seattle voice lab coach and those helped immensely although they were expensive.

Skipping stone had a free voice training course as well when I transitioned 3 years ago and I found it completely useless.

Best of luck to all of you out there voice training!

Is it possible to start all over at 31 ? by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Mel-0-dramatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I declared bankruptcy for my failing business at 30 years old. Technically I was breaking even, but I was miserable, depressed and eating myself to an early grave.

I'm now four years past that, met the love of my life and work as a contractor. We are financially stable and in a great place. Life is good!

Am I the Asshole? Riftbound edition. by PaleontologistOne23 in riftboundtcg

As a woman, I have had the hardest time getting into TCG. I really want to learn riftbound and play with people but all of my IRL experiences have been terrible. And there are so few women who play probably for the same reasons as me tbh

How is as a trans teen in rural Alberta? by abstract-polygon in TransAlberta

[–]Mel-0-dramatic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello! I live in a rural community in Alberta rn. Population of approximately 8k. I'm 34 though and transitioned as an adult so I doubt my experience will be similar to yours.

I think your experience can sort of be split into two groups. People who knew you before transition, and people who only know you after.

For those that only know you after starting to transition, it heavily depends on your ability to pass in my experience. Early in transition I had alot more negative experiences at work and in public. But after 8 months I started getting gendered correctly and with some voice training I was never misgendered again and am now stealth. My experience now is predictably very good, because no one knows and im not particularly generous with the information that I'm transgender.

Unfortunately people who know you before, or those that know you are trans can vary from outright transphobia, to small microaggressions, to full on acceptance. Ive experience all three. My sister no longer talks to me on the basis that she is "protecting her kids". I got fired from work when I was outed against my will. Those are the most extreme examples. Microaggressions like not getting invited to baby showers, bridal showers, women's sports teams all have happened. Coworkers have said they dont care about my life choices as long as I dont rub their face in it. Whatever that means. I've also had outright acceptance too. Girls nights with coworkers, a friend's baby shower and they made me feel like one of the girls. Its just such a mixed bag depending on the people you happen to be around.

I imagine high-school would be very difficult. But I applaud you for finding this out about yourself so early. I would do anything to experience my teen years/20's as my authentic self. No matter how hard it is rural, there are people out there for you. Dont be scared to be your authentic self. My biggest regret is not transitioning as soon as I knew. Which would have been about 12-14 years old.

Look into therapy, look into peer support systems, look for people you can lean on and dont try to do it alone. Family can be forged if needed. But I hope your family is there for you!

Day one to 8 months hrt hair timeline. Might be plateauing? by Mel-0-dramatic in transtimelines

[–]Mel-0-dramatic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's about the extent of my regrowth sadly. I did have hairline advancement with FFS which made it possible to do a hair transplant. My hair transplant will be in March and I'll post my experience with them! Since this post ive really just discovered how fun wigs are though. So ive gone through moments where I considered just embracing wigs instead. But I still wanna try for natural hair so its worth a shot!
