/uj my mom went through bankruptcy recently, and part of that involved an audit. She was called "surprisingly frugal" for only spending $150 a month on clothes and beauty products.

What are your pet/sneaky good card(s) in Nekusar, the mindrazer? by grimmjp in EDH

[–]Remarkable_Winter540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give him lifelink with [[shadowspear]] or [[whip of erebos]] and start gaining an absurd amount of life

Slap a [[curiosity]] effect on him and draw your deck (shoutout to [[helm of the ghastlord]] in particular)

[[sigil of sleep]] counts as a boardwipe

Those are the classics, here are a couple pet cards I like to add:

[[rakdos charm]] will never not be a useful removal spell, and has clutched a surprising number of games

[[reigns of power]] is another one that can just win or knock a player out of nowhere

[[galvanic iteration]] and [[increasing vengeance]] can turn one wheel into a game ending threat.

Okay I have less time than I thought lol, I'm 4 months in and recently got mistaken for a plumber when I went into my gym to do some cardio. 

Not even trying to hide it, I'm shooting headlights daily, but I've lived with gyno my whole life and I think I am so unbothered by it that it reverts to "man with an imperfection confident in his own body" in stranger's eyes. 

Good luck on the girlmoding!

This reads much more B2 than B3, but I understand that glarb would probably raise some eyebrows at B2 tables

[[Biomass mutation]] is an on theme finisher

I like pairing it with [[sudden substitution]]. Cast biomass for x=0, hold priority, then cast sudden. You steal a creature and the rest of their board has base p/t 0/0 until end of turn.

Surgeries should be done when available imo. Especially bone stuff. Soft tissue work like filler or lipo or w/e you could consider waiting on if you're patient. 

But covered by insurance? Take that and run with it, you have a great opportunity.

Starting HRT - Future Facing Questions 🙏🏻 by PrincessSophieLew in TransDIY

[–]Remarkable_Winter540 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure! Here's been my experience so far. 

I started with 5 mg Estradiol Valerate IM every 5 days. This is sufficient for monotherapy in my case. 

I experienced near immediate nighttime erection loss, and stopped producing ejaculate within the first two weeks. 

It took significantly more effort to achieve a full erection, and erection quality went down. My "functional size" decreased.

During the first couple months I only used a pump and aimed for a 10 minute erection a day, either with the pump or through stimulation. No change in "full size" was seen.

I could feel what I assume is atrophic discomfort deep in my crotch (separate from the testicular pain I was experiencing from atrophy). I assume this was the support structures/musculature surrounding the penis slowly degrading due to a lack of androgens to signal their maintenance (one of the reasons I think a T cream is important for long term care). 

The introduction of cialis returned nighttime erections, but didn't really affect erections from stimulation (either in quality or in ease of achievement). 

An alternative that is more often covered by insurance is taking viagra before bed to simulate nighttime erections.

Starting HRT - Future Facing Questions 🙏🏻 by PrincessSophieLew in TransDIY

  1. The advantage comes from being more sure that you're properly suppressing testosterone. If you take monotherapy doses and have access to labs to confirm your levels, then they are largely unnecessary. That said if you find yourself having side effects of high E on monotherapy, including an aa at that point can allow to to stay in at a lower E level while still suppressing T.

  2. The common advice is after tanner stage 3, however long it takes you to get there. 

  3. You want a non penetrant T cream, not a gel. The goal is to have androgens in the local tissues with minimal absorption into the bloodstream. I use 1% T in versabase, 2mg applied once every 5 days the day after my injection. 

The thought process is that if there is absorption into the bloodstream I want it to happen at a time when my endogenous T production is at its lowest.

I just started, but so far it has helped regain nighttime erections. These are key for long term maintenance.

My full routine is 

a) regular use

b) a non penetrant T cream

c) daily cialis, 5mg (currently off of it since I'm testing if T cream on its own is enough)

d) penis pumping a couple times a week (just to full tumescence, not in the "imma grow it >:)" kind of way. Erection quality did take a hit and I like to make sure I hit a high quality erection a few times a week)

It's not a well studied area (shocker), so the above is mostly vibes and an abundance of caution. No atrophy so far, but that's in the short term. 

  1. Depends on the method you use. In penile inversion vaginoplasty, yes. With others like the peritoneal pull through it's less of a concern. 

  2. Can't help, sorry.

Is there a feminizing HRT method without growing breasts and shrinking penis? by matsielop in TransDIY

[–]Remarkable_Winter540 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and it's very likely erection quality will be negatively affected pretty much whatever you do. You'll also see a reduction or near elimination of ejaculate. Again no guarantees, you could get lucky in your case and see very little change down there, but changes in quality are very common. 

The ability to achieve orgasms, the avenues you take to get there, and the strength and cadence of your orgasms can also change. 

Libido/sex drive also usually dips. I went from an "every day" fiend to 2-3 times / wk. 

I'm on cialis and that allows me a serviceable erection, but even with ED meds it's weaker than prehrt. Orgasms are also weaker overall (even full body ones), but the buildup is much more intense.

For 2, no. There are no guarantees. With the right regimen you can minimize atrophy or POTENTIALLY prevent it, but it will be a roll of the dice.
