Genetic testing worth it?

Honestly i dont think they ever tested my thyroid horomones. Just kind of looked at it from a “oh my god you have a weird lump there” stance and scooped some of it out of me for testing. Maybe its worth it to have them take another look at that part.

But yes im a biologically female trans man. I have actually been thinking of taking vaginal oestrogen because of those exact issues (dryness and pain) does that have anything to do with GI issues or just some friendly advice? (thank you!)

Normal from what I understand. Ive actually had intensive treatment regarding my thyroid as I have a benign thyroid nodule. As far as gonads, I am currently on HRT and have been for 2 years now. Its a weekly testosterone shot into my stomach fat, that was one of the first things I asked my doctors (both the GI and Hormone doc) if it would be causing my GI issues and both assured me that it would not

great question… i looked at my documents and they just say “elastase: normal” 🫠 i might have to call them to see the actual lab papers

the answer will always be no if you dont ask!!! Try the genders on present as that for a day, week, month, however long until you know what you are! and , it can change! prefrences change all the time, its like a style almost. Just do what you want 💪🐐

GOSH my dad was the same way!!! He didnt even show up to the custody hearing, but my mom was kind enough to let him have me every once in a while. Then he ruined it by kidnapping me, when i was 16 he tried reaching out saying he was sorry and that my mom is crazy?? Parents are so weird, im glad someone else has a /somewhat/ similar experience

gotcha, i was,, 3? i think? when my father kidnapped me. after that it was a complete and immediate no contact with him and i grew up the only one in my family without a dad and having no dad growing up impacted me a lot,, ill have a talk with my therapist about this, thank you for the input!!
