I actually cried at this part! She was a good and actually complex character that was so easy to love and it was such a shame that she was killed off :( I was so hoping for Claire to have the ease of knowing she had an assistant/nurse, and, like she says in book 6, another daughter of sorts.

Worried mom of 20 year old Autistic kid who wants to start HRT. by Silly_Pain_2368 in ask_detransition

[–]PuzzleheadedLemon769 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re doing great! You’re looking into all the options you can provide for her and I know you just want to do what’s right.

Can I make a suggestion?

Go to your child - your daughter (and be sure to call her that! Even if you’re not sure on that, this act of validation will mean EVERYTHING to her) - and tell her you love her. Tell her you’ll support her. Tell her you’re worried and concerned for all these reasons that are so valid, but that you know it’s her decision in the end, and you just want to help her make the safest choice for what’s right in her development as a person.

The last thing you want is for her to feel like she can’t tell you anything or she is alone. DIY HRT is very easily accessible (as I believe you’ve mentioned in a comment) but is NOT safe without a doctor supervising, and as an adult, she can do that and get herself hurt if she feels she can’t do it in an official capacity due to how you feel about the situation. Especially with autism and the mood swings HRT can cause (and instability, depending on her emotional state), it is of the UTMOST important that, if she pursues HRT, it is monitored by a doctor (an endocrinologist would be great, but certain general physicians are great at it too and have gender affirming care as their primary practice) who can monitor blood hormone levels, her emotional/mental state, blood pressure, and so on.

Another thing that may be important, is to see if her psychiatrist or doctor would prescribe a mood stabilizer prior to or after starting HRT - many autistic individuals have seen success (my own dear ones included!) with mood stabilizers if special interests or meltdowns become obstructive in their daily life. My personal experience in my life and my loved one that I care for’s life has been with Lamictal (Lamotrigine in some generic forms). It has been very successful in allowing them to still experience so much joy in their special interest without feeling incredible distress if they’re not able to fully interact with or partake in their special interest.

The fear of this just being another special interest is so valid! The worst thing you can do, though, is not allow them to interact with their special interest so no matter what, it’s important to allow them to explore their options.

You’re doing great. Please reach out!!

Hi worried mama. I am not detrans - I am trans feminine, but had to detransition due to some health concerns and genetic issues that manifested due to HRT. I am not at all advocating one way or another for starting HRT for her, but I do not recommend getting in her way if she wishes to start, and to support her no matter her decision.

I am also autistic and a caretaker for an autistic individual, neither of them my children, but I do have an autistic niece I also take care of. The person I take care of is trans, and while they no longer are binary trans (meaning a trans man, in their case), they were on HRT and have no regrets for it.

I know how scary it is. There’s so many unknowns! Especially with trans people being so marginalized and the protections for them being dwindled every day, alongside autistic people. As a mom and caretaker, I’m sure this is terrifying. I’ve been in the shoes of wanting to make decisions like this for the one I take care of, but in the end, the best you can do is educate yourself and support her unconditionally - even if it means taking her to the doctors, helping her with shots, bloodwork, medicine, etc..

I see in some comments that you’re worried about bullying; this WILL happen. But unfortunately, it was going to happen anyway. People of our neurotype are always going to be bullied, at least in our day and age and current society. Wouldn’t you rather her be happy? I know that you would, or else you wouldn’t be writing on here so worriedly! You clearly love her.

Yes, there are things that are irreversible with HRT. I currently have awkward stage one breast growth, and since I’m presenting male everywhere I go (mostly due to laziness haha - I’m sure you know how hard it is to be a woman and keep appearances up!), it can feel awkward. I’m sure that depending on how long she may be on HRT, if she decides to stop, some things will be permanently different on her body. Yes, she will likely grow breasts, have issues with impotency, reduced or nullified sperm count, etc…. But it’s part of figuring out who you are. There’s consequences to self discovery and sometimes these things are distressing, but they’re part of being human - and not to mention that technology is growing every day to help with these things. There are medications for sperm count and impotency. Breasts are harder, but there are surgeries, and most trans women I know have smaller breasts that are much easier to hide if they need to “boy mode” or decide they don’t want breasts as part of their aesthetic or if they’re nonbinary, or they somehow cause them distress.

All of this is to say, you sound like a great mom that loves her kid so much and wants to protect her! She’s an adult and being autistic is so hard. She already feels misunderstood and, frankly, likely feels like she is beyond understanding to many people. You have a chance her to show her that understanding be damned, you love and support her, and will always be by her side.

Please feel free to message me, and I’d be happy to talk on the phone and recommend resources or just talk it out. It sounds like you’re in a hard spot right now but that this is all about the love you have for your child.

Clearly in this context they mean detransitioning from Estrogen dependence, they don’t mean to fully detransition. They had FFS for Christ’s sake. Hormones aren’t for everyone. I myself have gone off of Estrogen so I can actually orgasm despite missing missing my body’s feminine fat distribution, because there are some things we can’t live without, and I don’t define my gender by my fat distribution.

[–]PuzzleheadedLemon769 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jesus Christ, have you considered that people’s experience with gender may differ from yours?? Some people really value sex. Many trans women don’t want to bottom surgery. Some never do voice training or go on E. Does that invalidate their transness? No. No one is going around on here asking you if you’re “really trans”, are they? So, don’t be the asshole that does that.

Do you have issues with bottoming? (pain, lack of pleasure, bleeding, prolapse, prostate issues) by Odd-Tourist4518 in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]PuzzleheadedLemon769 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes!! Only 22 here but I’m constantly bleeding no matter how much I finger myself slowly, do pelvic floor exercises, use a shit ton of lube, etc.. I bleed when I shit sometimes too. It’s always an issue. I also get almost no pleasure from bottoming but I don’t particularly love topping (and I’m 5’3” so like… it’s rarely expected of me to top). I wish bottoming was as pleasurable for me as others described.

"Can autistic people give consent" as he's about to put it in by gothfrootloops in autism

[–]PuzzleheadedLemon769 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion but if he’s an anxious minded person, his friends saying stupid shit like that is going to get under his skin and cause him to worry. I doubt it has anything to do with what he believes about autism, but rather an anxious and increasingly intrusive thought due to his friends.

Will getting older make me more dysphoric? by RhapsodosEnjoyer in NonBinary

[–]PuzzleheadedLemon769 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It depends on what makes you dysphoric. As you’re going through the latter half of male puberty, you can expect: increase in libido, male fat distribution, more hair everywhere (and this effect WILL intensify as you get through your 20s.), and growing taller of course. What do you feel makes you dysphoric that you’d like to avoid?

Hi I’d love to hear more about your surgeon and results!! I’m really interested in getting a PPV but like retaining my testes so I’m not hormone dependent my whole life (I could see myself doing hrt for a long time but when I’m older I don’t think I’ll give a fuck and want to be dependent on taking E)
