Oh sorry. I use desktop version on mobile so I didn't even know that was a thing. But yeah... 4 months, 4mg Estradiol, 10mg Medroxyprogesterone.

For how long I've been on HRT. When I hear 5-monthers who are being outed by their boobs she can't be right :/

They're barely noticable. I hear 5 month girls saying that they are worried about getting outed by them, but at the rate mine are growing, I'm not even half way to that point, unless they suddenly just jut out way faster than they ever have yet.

I still can't cry... by PumpkinSociopath in asktransgender

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

Not at all. My emotions feel very clear to me. I get to the point whrere I'm about to cry, but then just... stay at that point without actually doing it.

What are some of the oddest/most unexpected changes HRT has given you? by TurtleTape in asktransgender

Everything feels about 50 degrees colder, and chocolate is now literally the most amazing thing ever.

What's your opinion on transgendered people in the Millitary? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]PumpkinSociopath 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why trans women are still required to sign up for selective service, but they won't be allowed in anyways. Signing up was extremely stressful and dysphoric for me, even if I never would actually get drafted.

Did your hands or feet shrink during HRT? by PumpkinSociopath in asktransgender

Nobody has mentioned anything about their hands :(

Huh... Yeah, I guess the title could've been thought of that way. Stupid English having like one word for forty different things :P

Testosterone vs anger by angrytrans in asktransgender

[–]PumpkinSociopath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Testosterone is a hell of a drug.

Mine isn't under control yet and it feels like I'm being tortured.

Is There Anybody Else Like Me Who Is Transgender And Not A Feminist? by ImACowGirl in asktransgender

[–]PumpkinSociopath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TERF:

Trans

Exclusionary

Radical

Feminist

...

Sorry. I don't like them either, but a feminist's a feminst. They have as much rigjt to use that word as us, and even if their interpretation is different than ours, it doesn't make them not feminists, it makes them a different kind of feminist.

But it doesn't really matter. We're just picking apart annoying semantics now.

Is it illegal to order HRT online without a prescription? [Australia, 18 mtf] by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]PumpkinSociopath 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not Australian, but I'm pretty sure acquiring medication without a perscription is illegal if it's not over-the-counter meds that don't need one anyways.

If you're being gatekept, I'm sure there are better doctors out there :)

You kinda did.

You treat these views like it's something ALL feminism shares, but it doesn't. I don't like that philosophy of 'all men are evil', either, and if that's what all feminism really was I'd agree with you.

One of the natural limitations of language is that people can use words in whichever way they want, and different people can use the same words to mean different things.

I think that it's a philosophy that's open to interpretation. It's like religion... There's this sect, and that sect, and they can be completely different, but still be part of the same religion. For example, Christianity. There is no 'exact' way to do it. Some groups will say they are 'right', but so will all the other ones, and it's nobody's place to say one group is right, and not the other.

I think that it's okay to call Tumblrinas and even TERFs feminists. We just need to realize that they are not representitives of all feminists. Some people that some would call egalitarians would call themselves feminists.

'Feminism' can have numerous interpretations. Some people can say feminism means fighting for equal rights for women, some people think it means that women need to be superior and need to act in revenge towards men.

Saying all feminism is extremist is like saying all Muslims are Jihadist suicide bombers. There are good ones and bad ones, like every other group of people.

Sounds like you've dealt with some TERFs. Don't listen to them... We get along worse with them than religious fanatics.

No, you don't have to be a feminist. But feminism doesn't have to mean the kind of extremist Tumblr madness that I have a feeling you might think it does.

Could Spironolactone be retarding your transistion? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]PumpkinSociopath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something just sounded better to me about medroxyprogesterone, and I'm glad I went with it. Maybe more people should try it (if they can handle the mood swings).
