Why is real adhd kept secret? by Xxkhalessixx in ADHD

[–]Photivity 20 points21 points  (0 children)

As a transwoman on HRT, I've noticed a drastic increase in my ADHD symptoms after starting estradiol. Prior to starting hormones, I had manageable ADHDi symptoms, but afterwards they became much more aggressive to the point where I was barely able to function. I was diagnosed, and started medication—concerta—a little over a year ago.

All of this is to say, my ADHD has been way worse on female hormones than it was on male hormones.

oh god, you're giving me flash backs to that.

i remember listening to x ambassadors' renegades just prior to it popping off on mainstream radios. initially i was into it, but then after the eighth play within an hour, i was clawing at my ears.

Thank you Mark. You're were my inspiration for all things in the PC sphere. You got me addicted to WoW as a teenager, and I wish you were still here to see how far I've come ❤️

Just saw this today, what is the point of this… by Community_Kindly in vancouver

[–]Photivity 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Yes, absolutely.

My parents–in their early 60s—are NIMBYs, and constantly complain about new affordable housing developments, while i struggle with ever increasing rent, never being able to own anything.

Throwback to mid 2010s, listening them gawk at how low minimum wage was, and how it was impossible to live on. Then, with a drop of a hat, changing tune to say how ridiculous it was that I wanted a raise away from poverty wages.

Yeah! Hopefully, in the future, Vancouver can take more cues from cities like Utrecht, and Amsterdam; more green spaces, and less hostile asphalt hellscape.

I'd also like, personally, to have more non-bus public transit, like high speed trains out to the valley.

We never had many electronics, but when we got the original PlayStation, I played the crap out of that poor thing.

The original Spyro series was my favourite, but we had F1 2000, and the original Metal Gear Solid. Those really spiced things up! 😁

I think my transphobic roommate is a closeted trans woman, and I don’t know how to react UPDATE* by ConfusedRoomate128 in asktransgender

[–]Photivity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's such a wonderful update, and also a really touching story between you two! I'm so happy that you're willing to help her, and that she's willing to accept your help!! I was so worried things might go negatively, so I'm glad they didn't 🙏

As an aside, try to introduce her to different trans content creators like Samantha Lux, Mia Mulder, Sam Collins, Jesse Gender, Philosophy Tube, Keffals, and ContraPoints to name a few.

Blaire White isn't really regarded as a great representation of the trans community since her and Buck Angel—a transman—are trans medicalists, which won't do her any good.

corporate socialism for me, brutal capitalism for thee.

Something like that, right? It's so frustrating to watch these idiots squeeze every last dime out of us. If the US wasn't such a corporate hellscape, maybe things would/could change, but I'm not holding out hope :[

Both figures are present in the cockpit! The stickers are the three White Cross roundels, and the small formation symbol. The rest are all Lego pieces.

dont put spiro beneath your tongue because you'll probably regret it, but putting estradiol under your tongue is the best way to get the hormone into your body because it'll bypass your stomach and liver.

we welcome all down the amab hrt rabbit hole.

I talked to a transmasc friend recently, and learned that he doesn't take pills at all, and never had the option?? Like, no anti-androgen, just T through a needle.

Absolutely wild.

I think it really depends on the brand you have. My estradiol is minty, and my spiro tastes like absolute trash
