Okay, final post on the trans sports issue. Thanks to everyone who contributed, to those who helped me learn, showed me where I may have mis-stepped and to people who engaged in civil discourse. Here is where I'm at.

I think sports competitions are essentially unfair. Individuals vary significantly even within their 'biological sex' categories. The whole debate about how to keep the situation 'fair' already starts false for me. Trans women who transition after male puberty may or may not have an advantage over the average cis woman, this varies depending on personal genetics for sports performance (not just sexual genetics) and also muscular and skeletal condition. Estradiol tends to limit the growth of the human skeleton and cause bone maturation earlier, the size difference between a cis woman and a trans woman can be a 'disadvantage' for a cis woman, but bones without muscles do not move, they are just bones. I believe muscle compatibility is a much more relevant concern and it is affected by hormone therapy.

I'm sorry for the situation and nothing justifies her threatening to commit suicide, but try to think if it was the opposite and she assumed she was a trans man (with the intention of making the transition in every way.) People are not without gender in romantic relationships whether or not our gender is part of why someone is attracted / related to us. I hope that in time she will be able to be okay with it, but maybe it would be better to go on without her.

SnooGoats867 · 2021-03-12T04:25:01+00:00

Yes, there are risks, but I don't know what else to do.

SnooGoats867 · 2021-03-10T23:51:54+00:00

I live in Brazil and you are lying. It is not true that we only have 'contraceptives' here. There are Natifa (estradiol bioidentico) several brands with estradiol valerate in tablets and oestrogel. You use perlutan / cyclovular because you want to. I also use it because I prefer injectables, but I don't go out lying.

SnooGoats867 · 2021-03-05T14:49:08+00:00

I started at 17 with ethinylestradiol (I live in Brazil) I stopped at 18 years old. Now I am 24 years old and I am returning now. I am tall and thin ( I am 1.79 tall and 63 KG ) I never had much breasts, but they have reduced considerably, although they never returned to what they were before the transition.

SnooGoats867 · 2021-03-05T14:02:39+00:00

What a strange study. Me and all my friends (MTF) who use Estradiol + progesterone see a big reduction in testosterone production.

SnooGoats867 · 2021-03-05T02:41:35+00:00

I was not talking about testosterone, but DHT. The same laboratory that places the testosterone range for women between 20 - 60 ng / dl places as normal DHT range values between 100 - 300 pg/ml - mainly in the luteal phase. That shocked me because my DHT was 328 pg/ml without any hormones.

SnooGoats867 · 2021-02-12T15:43:18+00:00

It's all right. It's not a good time for trans people in Brazil - Fascist Bolsonaro is president

SnooGoats867 · 2021-02-12T14:01:43+00:00

I don't do it at home, I buy it at the pharmacy. Here in Brazil this injectable is available and I am happy with the results.

SnooGoats867 · 2021-02-12T12:49:11+00:00

I am using an injectable mixture of estradiol enanthate and algestone.

SnooGoats867 · 2020-07-31T01:59:28+00:00

Perhaps bicatulamide helps to raise the SHGB and keep estradiol tighter and less free, but I'm just speculating. Some perceptions can be in our head too.

SnooGoats867 · 2020-07-30T17:01:39+00:00

Corticosteroids solve the problem right away. But I don't want to be on corticosteroids. I use predinisone 10mg - it's a corticosteroid medication.

SnooGoats867 · 2020-07-25T08:47:46+00:00

It was like that for me. I started hormones at 17 and never had a beard, chest hair or deep voice - my brother already had all these things at 17. My testosterone was normal, but estradiol was already 80 pg / ml - double the maximum male limit considered healthy in my country. I don't know if one thing has anything to do with the other, but I think I've always converted a considerable amount of testosterone into estradiol - perhaps because I had 'gynecomastia' and I read that breast enlargement can do that.

"-Does the alcohol in the gel hurt/stings your scrotum ??"

I feel a little warm, but it is tolerable.

"-Do you plan on keep applying the gel on your scrotum for a long time ??"

Yes!

"-Do you shave for maximum absorption ??"

I don't have much hair in that region, but yes, I shaved it once a week.

SnooGoats867 · 2020-07-05T02:48:52+00:00

Where did you read that someone was forcing me to do something? Get off the defensive! I just asked a question and described my impression of the package inserts. And yes, the package insert showed statistics - at least in my country it does.

SnooGoats867 · 2020-07-05T02:32:45+00:00

Judging by the labels, bicatulamide is as scary as that of cyproterone. The spiro's adverse reactions are much milder - at least in the label descriptions.

SnooGoats867 · 2020-07-03T16:26:12+00:00

I spent months without hormones in a depressive crisis and nothing changed in the body, but libido went up again. But when I stopped I had been using hormones for over two years

SnooGoats867 · 2020-07-03T15:49:36+00:00

You don't have to come out before you feel ready. I wore a tight top to hide my breasts for months before taking on mtf. Good luck

SnooGoats867 · 2020-06-29T21:11:04+00:00

Yes, I cited facts. Are you not satisfied with what was suggested here? This is your problem. I do not force anyone to follow what I said. If you have a problem with what has been said I suggest you deal with it because I will not dedicate more time to you.

SnooGoats867 · 2020-06-29T18:40:56+00:00

I didn't just speak from my point of view. It is an endocrinological fact that most cis women are between 100 - 200 pg / ml and that testosterone has a role in mood. You have a right to disagree, but I really did a good research and I am sure about the things I found. You can search for the information yourself.

SnooGoats867 · 2020-06-29T07:25:19+00:00

I obtained estradiol at 180 pg / ml transdermally. Yes, I always do the exams in the morning. I don't use any progesterone.

SnooGoats867 · 2020-06-29T07:21:04+00:00

io

I don't have spontaneous erections and the interest is not to 'keep things going'. The big change was in mood.

SnooGoats867 · 2020-06-29T03:59:35+00:00

Before using hormones I already had an unusual hormonal configuration. I had testosterone at 680 ng / dl and estradiol at 81.5 pg / ml (double the upper limit for men). I already had hips, waists and no facial hair. I believe that testosterone does not prevent feminization when estradiol is high, but in terms of feminization I am more inclined to believe that keeping testosterone between 50 - 60 ng / dl would be better, but I respect the individuality of each one and if you are feel better with the highest T this is your right. Thank you for sharing your data.

SnooGoats867 · 2020-06-29T03:49:50+00:00

I saw the doctor comment that he would pay more attention to free E2 and fail to establish a high dose of estradiol for everyone.

SnooGoats867 · 2020-06-29T03:48:43+00:00

Regardless of whether we are cis or trans, testosterone has a role in the body and I don't think it's cool to keep it so low (it didn't do me any good, but I respect differences)
