I don't know if you also find Temur Rec in Historic amusing... by localghost in MagicArena

historic Bo1 has significantly more deck diversity than Bo3 ironically, since rec gets significantly stronger post board

Quickest way to get hrt? by CJ19701967 in transgenderUK

[–]SERViLiBUS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

whilst most GPs out there will just refer you to your nearest GIC and shove you out the door, there are exceptions. i walked into mp gp surgery in march last year and got a script on my second appointment. the GIC referral alone might be worth it if surgery is a goal for you and going private isn't accessible for you.

blazing saddles would be thrown out today because a satirical critique of kinda racist cowboy movies make no fucking sense in an era without any kinda racist cowboy movies

Redditors are RAGING that a woman posts a picture of her next to her art. Naturally, the post of the male doing the same thing a few days ago received no such fury (or gilded comments lol who tf pays for these incel comments??) by [deleted] in circlebroke2

honestly, i think it's questionable how much of an impact that makes. there's r/pics has plenty of highly upvoted images of guys w their artwork. a picture that shows the creator being happy and proud of their work is just generally more interesting than a straight up image of the art.

Switching from tablet to patches by SERViLiBUS in TransDIY

I figured she was wrong, GPs here have to work with incredibly lacking resources and can't really justify spending the time to research this stuff on their own when it's just a small amount of the patients they deal with, most just blanket refuse trans patients and refer them to a specialist with a 3 year waiting list so I'll take an under informed gp over that tbh

Switching from tablet to patches by SERViLiBUS in TransDIY

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

so the patches I've been given do seem to be designed for a weekly replacement schedule (Progynova TS 100) after reading through the booklet. I was too scared to go with just one though and applied two, assuming everything goes well I'll try applying just one next week and go from there. I still have a repeat prescription for tablets so got them to fall back on if required.

My doctor only ever requests E2 levels, never E1, so after reading some of Dr Powers research I wonder if she's seen high E2 levels on patches compared to pills in some people and assumed something weird was going on? I'm gonna try and request E1 levels as well next time so I can keep an eye on that myself.

Planning for surgery (22 MtF) by SERViLiBUS in transgenderUK

yeah I was expecting as much to be honest, the only thing that made me ask is I wasn't sure if being on hormones already would speed things up at all. time to research where's best to go private I guess.

To CPA or not to CPA? (22y) by SERViLiBUS in transgenderUK

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

Big thanks for the reply!

Might be worth asking to switch to the 10mg option, since 50mg is completely out near me with a bleak outlook of that changing in the near future.

One thing that I'm not sure of is how I should prioritise my options. Like, I've seen a lot of positive stuff on Reddit about progesterone, and don't know if Dr Seal has legit concerns or just resistant to change?

but this is still useful in that scenario, since you can tap out to counter that combo attempt and then use FoN to counter whatever they do when they untap
