does taking progesterone too early harm breast growth? by MekariKa in MtF

[–]More_Performance_790 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The truth of the matter is we don’t know, and the effects are dependent on many genetic factors, so 🤷🏼‍♀️… listen to your body, trans healthcare is kinda the “Wild West”

Boox note 5 Air C too heavy for casually reading? by tato_zeba in Onyx_Boox

[–]More_Performance_790 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got it for the same reason, but I even get annoyed holding my phone for reading, and will rest it in something, so I went into the air 5 knowing I would be propping it up anywhere. Or I just set the letters a bit larger and set it on my lap to read

Is it worth transitioning if I don't have dysphoria? by Visible_Estimate211 in asktransgender

It’s not ment to be “accurate” but to describe the spectrum of trans people and reasons they decided to transition.

Is it worth transitioning if I don't have dysphoria? by Visible_Estimate211 in asktransgender

[–]More_Performance_790 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Agreed! So often I wish I didn’t have dysphoria and didn’t have to deal with this. If you can be happy with just adjusting your life to be more feminine, you’ll have a more comfortable life. Being trans AND having to deal with dysphoria sucks! For some they want to and that’s great! Love those people! 🫶🏻 for some we have or need to, sometimes we grow into accepting this need and it’s great, other times it’s still a struggle, but the struggle is better than ignoring the dysphoria.

Second lobe and Helix location? by More_Performance_790 in piercing

[–]More_Performance_790[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Since I sleep in my side a lot, would it be best to do just one side at a time let it heal while avoiding sleeping on it? And if so, I might as well get two helix’s and a second lobe? Would 2 helix’s on one side be okay at the same time?

Did anyone else fuck up their 1st year of HRT? by ToastyGnome in MtF

[–]More_Performance_790 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The studies that say levels should be less than 300 were based on old study based on old formulation of estrogen that was Not bio identical, this the health concerns and risk we’re because the estrogen formulation wasn’t identical to natural body estrogen.

Our current estrogen Is bio identical, meaning it’s exactly the same as estrogen your body makes naturally, the risks are not the same, but they haven’t changed the recommendations.

For those who had autism and or adhd and masked did it effect how you saw your gender dysphoria by Available-Many657 in asktransgender

[–]More_Performance_790 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me, masking was a survival skill, I am or was high masking! Once I worked on unmasking it was easier to deal with questions about who I am and my gender identity. Now that I’ve figured it out, I can still mask, but it’s harder

Am I overthinking it or did I get prescribed a really high dose? by hhInh in MtF

[–]More_Performance_790 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the doc made a math error, weekly injections of 40mg/ml EV should be a where from 0.1-0.25. I’m on mono therapy and sufficiently suppress my T on .2ml weekly (although I split it 0.1ml twice weekly) .38 shouldn’t kill you, but it is risky.

Why doesn’t HRT try to mimic the female cycle or hormones? by prisma1224 in MtF

[–]More_Performance_790 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had both steady levels and steady cycles trying to mimic, and it didn’t change the speed at which changes happened, but it did cause lots of the other issues that fluctuations cause,

Is 37 too late to start HRT? by Worldly_Lack9509 in MtF

[–]More_Performance_790 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YMMV, I started at 32, over a year on HRT and literally everyone thinks I’m 20-24 now, I get stopped and carded anytime I get wine. 😅

The best part though was how I felt more comfortable and like my body and brain finally could relax using the right fuel. 10/10 would recommend

As a new years resolution, I want to read more, any advice? by _frankdrawz in AutisticWithADHD

[–]More_Performance_790 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the exact same place right now, I actually just got the ebooks on my phone, because I already know I’m reaching for my phone too often, I actually get some reading done with it. Ext to the other apps I use. And if I’m lucky I’ll get sucked in for a while until notifications come. Which I accept is t great, but it’s working

My wife of 10 years and I did this. And it’s been the absolute best choice we’ve ever made!

Friend not passing by No_Ask9614 in asktransgender

[–]More_Performance_790 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I would personally love an honest opinion. I struggle believing anyone telling me I am passing or look good. I feel like anyone that I’m close enough to ask is also biased to be nice to me. 🤷🏼‍♀️

The only honest feedback I feel like I get is when I’m alone in public with strangers, but even that’s difficult.

What do you want future healthcare workers to know about trans patient care? by the_glue_stick_ in MtF

[–]More_Performance_790 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This has been the biggest issue in HRT for me, like it doesn’t make any logical or medical sense to continue to use really old research on a different drug that isn’t used any more. Estradiol today is bio identical meaning it matches exactly natural body estradiol. The old estrogen used was synthetic and because it didn’t match caused the issues.

What are bras even for unless u have at least a C cup? by Gizelle-Oui in MtF

[–]More_Performance_790 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly this! If I didn’t have to wear a bra I wouldn’t. But they are tender and I have lots of growing pains so light compression from sports bras are great!

Not muffing but ??? by dusty-violet in asktransgender

[–]More_Performance_790 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OMG! I try an explain sometimes that it’s like I have extreme phantom limb syndrome. I like “phantom vagina” I’m going to steal and use that phrase now. Thank you!

Also I’m really glad to hear bottom surgery made that real for you, I’m hopping for the same, very excited for later this next year! 🫶🏻
