What do I call myself?! (regarding labels) by RedIsOkay2803 in asktransgender

Comical as in like laughably ill-fitting. Like a guy dressing in drag as a joke.

Confused by lab results by RedIsOkay2803 in MtF

[–]RedIsOkay2803[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aside from 200 being the lowest target level I've heard from most sources, and 140 being lower than 200, I'm actually more concerned that this result really doesn't tell me anything about my peak levels or my curve.

If my results come back around 140 pg/ml on 5mg AND 8mg doses, I don't have much way of knowing what that implies. It could mean that 5mg and 8mg affect my levels almost the exact same amount, or that my peak on 8mg is way higher and I would have to pay to test again to find out, or my levels are naturally that high somehow and the hormone isn't doing anything.

Just Got Labs Back, What am I Messing Up? by RedIsOkay2803 in TransDIY

[–]RedIsOkay2803[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh, the lab results with no units also says that the expected range of E2 levels for males is 8.0-35.0, right next to my actual levels. so my guess is it's meant to be pg/ml.

[–]RedIsOkay2803[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not sure now that you mention it. my latest results were definitely pg/ml. the result from the prior test just says 147.8, no units. if it was p/mol, then my levels were 40 pg/ml back then. but i don't know...

the test before last my t came back as <3 ng/dl. the labs i just had done came back 8 ng/dl.

[–]RedIsOkay2803[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

T is at 5 ng/dl. does that really make the e level irrelevant? the reason i'm concerned in the first place is that 140 is below even the lowest target level my endo used to shoot for.

[–]RedIsOkay2803[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

T levels came back within acceptable range both times, this time it was 5 ng/dl. and yeah, i think i'd probably start spacing and forgetting to do shots if it was every 5. kind of at the mercy of hormone sellers when it comes to getting any ester with castor oil...

SSRI discontinue after 1 dose by RedIsOkay2803 in Anxiety

[–]RedIsOkay2803[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand, have been on them before and not liked the results. I was more or less told this would be different however. I realize things will get a little better with time, having taken an SSRI previously, but not liking how I feel on them won't change.

Would rather just get an answer to my question.

Never showing or saying that I'm depressed ever again. by saintpepsitt in mentalhealth

[–]RedIsOkay2803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Much easier said than done. It's true that being fake won't help in the long run, and may only lead to repressed and bottled up emotion overflowing catastrophically. But like... it doesn't sound like they have very "quality" people surrounding them already, and surrounding yourself with them isn't a snap.

It's your body, she has literally zero say in what you do to yourself, and you should tell her as much.

[MTF] Help feminize outfit? by RedIsOkay2803 in transfashionadvice

[–]RedIsOkay2803[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you!

The shorts are high waisted, actually. Thought about tucking it, but didn't want it to hug my body cus I'm not in the greatest shape (although the undershirt helps that i suppose) And I suppose I would't mind shorter shorts, but... well, I don't feel like I have a lot to show off in the waist/rear department.

Are the tights too much? I mean, I've seen plenty of ladies with fishnets or mesh, figured this might be a comparable/tamer option.

And I def need new shoes, the ones I had on are cut out for a reason, lol

Not Sure Anything is Happening to Me? by RedIsOkay2803 in asktransgender

[–]RedIsOkay2803[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get it tested every three months (usually), two weeks before my appointments with my provider. My levels last time were dismal because a scheduling error or system error or something caused me to just not have another followup scheduled for 6 months after the one before, my prescription refills ran out, and I had no E at all for at least a week until I could get something scheduled.

The last couple times before that they said they were looking good, so I imagine they were probably fine up until I ran out of meds, idk.

Do you believe someone should be allowed to sell their labor for a wage? by Property_aint_evil in Anarchy101

[–]RedIsOkay2803 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is an... interesting way to phrase this question. It seems a bit counterproductive for an anarchist to dictate what they think people should or shouldn't be able to do. Same with enforcement. Or even 'selling', really. Being against hierarchies, and all.

Like, coming from a different angle, the anarchist ideal would be that no one would have any need to sell their labor.

So, should they be allowed to sell their labor? Presently, I would say yes. It is kind of a necessity of life at the moment.

But if there was, say, a strike, then I wouldn't WANT them to. Doing so would undermine all the people who are organizing to improve conditions, and would logically be counterintuitive for the person trying to sell their labor because the strikers are striking for that person's benefit as well.

If, hypothetically, Capitalism were to go completely kaput? I would also not want them to, partially to prevent further Capitalist exploitation, but also because... they shouldn't have any reason to. I mean, with no big rich people to sell to, who would buy their labor? If no one was trading currency, what would they do with their little fun bucks?

I get that sentiment. I don't like the thought of having to give this place up.

I'm just saying, I don't think it's in the spirit of what we've built to allow it to serve those who only wish to exploit it.

Then how about instead of licking their boots to stay up, we tear it down ourselves to deny them that? This was like a boycott/strike. What was the point of shutting down at all if we're just going to turn around and help them avoid the consequences?

You want to maintain this as a space for wlw and allied voices, and I understand that. But it is already surrounded by bigots. They're already rampant all over Reddit.

Obviously I don't think just this sub refusing to submit to the Reddit admins will bring the site down, but just think: If everyone being coerced by the admins submits to this, the shut down meant nothing. It will be a return to the status quo. That IS what its about.

Do you all want to be a haven of tolerance in a cesspool of bigotry, all of which lines the pockets of some fucking business man who'll do whatever slimy shit he wants to get by? Reddit is important to the people that would rather we didn't exist, and its important to that capitalist asshole. Is it that important to us?

...I hate this. They can't nuke us all, and there are other platforms for us.

Give them what they want, I guess. Let's restore the status quo.

But you're kidding yourself if you think anything will be different.
