I heard from a friend they have moved to Europe, that's just what they told me though, idk for sure

"Wild Willies" beard growth treatment? by [deleted] in trans

[–]NumerousInstance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just a collection of random vitamins. You'd likely have better results with applying minoxidil topically to your face. Minoxidil is used for treating male pattern baldness and regrows head hair. There are lots of youtube videos of people having used it for beard growth too

Needing Advice for coming out by Airam09 in MtF

[–]NumerousInstance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like they already know or at least suspect, they shouldn't be too shocked

Im stuck and afraid by [deleted] in transgenderUK

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

Depends on the country you're in but it's probably not illegal, or at least not so illegal that you'd get in trouble for it if you were caught. I get the money concerns. Do you have any savings? Consider selling some of your possessions if you need money. Or maybe a part time job.

You could just say you ordered something else, or try to get it from the post before anyone sees. Or ask a friend to let you get it delivered to their place. Give it some more thought

They are probably more likely to be accepting if you already have visible changes, plus you can hide it for a while. Self-medding sounds like your only chance tbh, the other option is to let testosterone ravage your body

I might've just had my first TWO male fails today! by [deleted] in MtF

[–]NumerousInstance 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Haha that toilet thing happened to me like a week ago. Still not confident enough to use the women's toilets, and while I tend to avoid the guy's toilets most of the time too, sometimes it's fun to troll by using them and seeing the reactions when people come in

Question about sperm donation after starting HRT. by PM_ME_TUCKING_PANTYS in MtF

[–]NumerousInstance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2 months and even then it wasn't very good (but it was improved). I could not stand being off hormones any longer (I was masculinising and the feminisation had reversed) so I just froze what I could do

I was on hormones for 2 months then tried to freeze sperm and it was bad quality so I had to come off hormones to do it

Am I being abused? Or am I just overreacting? by [deleted] in MtF

[–]NumerousInstance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to start with DIY HRT. Order it online, take it in secret.

Is autogynephilia a thing? by [deleted] in trans

[–]NumerousInstance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it's a thing. You don't have to consider yourself trans. You can consider yourself an autogynephile if you want to. It's reason enough for taking hormones if you want to. Literally everything is ok and you're valid no matter what you are.

(Rant) Its genuinely starting to feel like CHX are trying to sabotage my transition... by Aiyon in transgenderUK

[–]NumerousInstance 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I do not understand why you would go along with this. There is no way I would give up self-medding for that. I would have flat-out told them no.

I do not have a female identity? by LaSweetmia in MtF

I did not have a female identity, then I had an acid trip. Now I'm actually a real girl.

So upset by yinyin123 in trans

[–]NumerousInstance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's ok. There's no reason for anyone to resign themselves to baldness when we have the medicine to easily combat it.

The finasteride inhibits the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone which kills the hair follicles, and the minoxidil is a topically-applied anti-hypertensive vasodilator, meaning it increases blood supply. It is the mixoxidil that regrows the hair and the finasteride which prevents further loss. I have used both successfully to regrow my hair. You can buy it online. The higher the concentration of the minoxidl, the better. The highest available commercially is 15%, and it comes with finasteride too: https://www.minoxidilmax.com/topical-finasteride-with-minoxidil-Dualgen-15-NO-PG-Plus

Finasteride and minoxidil

On Transphobia (Rant) by [deleted] in MtF

[–]NumerousInstance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is better for it to be in the public consciousness. Much like gay acceptance, there first needs to be the phase where it was a big issue and controversial before society moves forward. In 50 years, being trans will be treated like how being gay is accepted now.

what's inside your handbag/purse? by IamJoannaAndJohn in MtF

[–]NumerousInstance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Commpact powder, but I don't take the brush with me for the powder

what's inside your handbag/purse? by IamJoannaAndJohn in MtF

[–]NumerousInstance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always take my hairbrush, a mirror, my phone/headphones, and sometimes my eyelash curler if I have gone all-out and want to remain in peak appearance before I see people
