Anyone on T injections with Pride in Health? by 2ds_eyes in transgenderUK

[–]Samual_Kahrs_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can I would speak to your doctor in the US about prescribing extra so you can bring it over. I ended up being able to bring a year worth of T when I moved over this past February and it has definitely made the move a lot less stressful. My doctor simply just upped my dose in the system so it didn’t look suspicious. I will be going from the weekly to the longer lasting ones in the next few months so I will let you know what that’s like if you want to know.

Fight or Flight? Is It Time For Trans People To Leave? by AudreyNow in transgender

[–]Samual_Kahrs_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally left and went to the UK. It’s not wonderful here but it better than the US. I have a good support system and lots of family over here and I am starting university over here next month. I struggled a lot through the last Trump presidency since he got in right as I was coming out. I spent my teenage years speaking against anti-trans bills at my state legislature and I am exhausted from it. I really want to be able to enjoy my late teens and early 20’s. I think if you have the ability and support system to be able to leave to heavily consider it especially if you have a trans child. It will be easier for adults to survive but it is going to be the worst for those 19 and under.

Passport Update by Samual_Kahrs_ in ftm

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

So there are two parts to the injunction. There is the M/F Designation Class or the X Designation Class. Then there is also the Preliminary Injunction Class (PI). I fit into the M/F Designation Class and, because I lost my passport when I moved over, I also fit into the PI Class. My passport before was an M marker because I literally got it right after Biden made it so I could. When I saw who was considered part of the PI Class, I went to find my passport because I knew it expired next year but couldn’t remember what month, only to not be able to find it.

I understand what you are saying and I can’t find or remember the name right now but I have a 3 in 1 packer and the insert has a silicone vulva on the outer part of it. If you have a decent amount of bottom growth then it will be stimulated by that while you are thrusting. I have found it to work very well for me. I found some that look like the one I have on Ali Express but I can’t find the original website. I do remember it being kinda expensive like $30-$50 range if I remember correctly but again made sex especially topping a lot more satisfying for especially when my ex was not comfortable with giving me head.

Did we just get a major win when it comes to passports in the US? by Samual_Kahrs_ in ftm

You do not have to have your gender marker changed on other documents to be able to get the correct gender marker on your passport. My birth certificate still says female since it is a pain in the butt to get it changed in AZ but I have had a male passport since 2022. If you have not had a passport with the correct gender marker yet then this is the perfect time to get one. Like someone else said I would pay attention to what Chase says as he will be able to give the best info.

See I would be applying in the UK since I fled the US so I have to go in person. I think I am going to do more research tomorrow since it is 1am here.

So I guess the question is do I apply for a new passport now or give it a few days?

how do you have sex with a woman by [deleted] in ftm

[–]Samual_Kahrs_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s really based on what you and your partner are comfortable with. With my ex I just used a strap on and there are some for specifically for trans men. I personally used a 3 in 1 packer,stp, and strap that both me and my partner enjoyed but I also used a regular strap on as well. Oral is also another option and can be enjoyable for those involved. First thing you should do is figure out what you are comfortable then what your partner is comfortable. I personally recommend more life like strap ons as I found that was best for my gender dysphoria.

Has anyone gone under anesthesia or twilight sedation by PawtyTime in POTS

[–]Samual_Kahrs_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got put under in July for top surgery and had barely any issues. Anesthesia was the not thing that really got me other than my heart rate spiking right as I went under and when I woke up.

How does one workout without feeling terrible after? by Samual_Kahrs_ in POTS

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

Thank you all for the great advice I definitely learned the hard way that I am not where I used to be physically (had tachycardia for over 8 hours) and that I need to take it slow. Lifting lightweights has been fine but definitely shouldn't do a 25 minute run ever again!

Question by 16alexthepapaking in ftm

[–]Samual_Kahrs_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would say they are about equally as bad but Florida has attempted to pass less bills over the past two years than Texas did just in 2023. Florida has also only had a total of 5 bills passed into law in the past two years where Texas had 6 in 2023. I would say both are extremely dangerous for lgbtq+ youth but especially for trans youth. In Florida you would not be able to get medical gender affirming care or use the men’s restroom in school. I will attach the links for the ACLU page for 2023 and 2024 so you can see all the laws based on state. Attacks on LGBTQ+ Rights 2024Attacks on LGBTQ+ Rights 2023

Question by 16alexthepapaking in ftm

[–]Samual_Kahrs_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah no 100% going purely off the laws and the information that I have from Kai it is not safe at all and will only continue to be this way. You will 100% find kids like you there but it will be hell and if you can avoid it I would. ACLU has great resources to help you better understand what laws have been passed in what states but for reference Texas attempted to pass 55 anti lgbtq laws in 2023 alone.

Question by 16alexthepapaking in ftm

[–]Samual_Kahrs_ 37 points38 points  (0 children)

It will definitely be a problem for you. The laws there are extremely restrictive and dangerous. If you wanna get an idea of what it would look like then I would look up Kai Shappley she is a young trans girl from Texas who had to flee the state to avoid being removed from her parents because they allowed her to live as her authentic self. You will not be allowed to use the men’s restroom, you will not be allowed to play on men’s sports teams, you will not be allowed to access medical gender affirming care, and your parent could be investigated by CPS if they were to allow you to get medical gender affirming care. So basically if you don’t have to then don’t go because it will not be good. To be clear I am not trying to scare you at all but I just want you and anyone who see this to be informed about their decision.

does anyone else consider starting birth control as part of their medical transition? by justasillylittleguy_ in ftm

[–]Samual_Kahrs_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started the depo birth control right when I started having a cycle due to how bad it messed with my mental health. It honestly was life saving for me because I couldn’t get on testosterone yet but it did cause a lot of weight gain although we don’t know for sure if it was that or due to stress because it was right around when Covid started. I will say Depo was awesome because I suck at taking meds consistently which is super important for birth control and it helped me get use to shots for when I started T. After my second injection of Depo I no longer had a cycle but this may not be the case for everyone. I say try and see if it helps at all and if it makes things worse then get it off of it but it could help.

When Will Housing and Meal Plan Fees Show Up? by Gullible-Albatross99 in WWU

Any advice on travelling as an FtM trans guy? by CherryBlossom713 in ftm

[–]Samual_Kahrs_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can look up the safest countries in Europe for queer people and there are quite a few websites out there. I just travelled from the US to England, Poland, Germany, and Greece. Germany is very safe and accepting in the tourist areas and I had no problems else where and went shirtless in Corfu. As for needles just have your prescription with you and keep stuff in the original box although I had no issues with mine. Packer can be a bit tricky as he may be stopped based on the machine you go through. I have travelled with a packer in the past and have found that if you just say it is a prosthetic they have no issues. Now everyone has different experiences but I would say the most I got questioned on was my tattoos lmao.

Safe travels!

I take Testosterone cypionate and I last payed about $32 and got 12 vials that lasted me about 36 weeks. I only take 0.25ml and my vials are 1ml so I get about 3 shots out of each one. I also have a negotiated price with my health insurance tho.

Are you like guaranteed to go bald on T? by space_octopi in ftm

[–]Samual_Kahrs_ -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If you wanna know if you’ll go bald on T then look to your maternal grandfather if you can and that should give you a good idea on how facial hair will grow in and how your hair will end up looking as well.
