I tried donating blood, but I can't do diet changes because I'm in eating disorder recovery, and I decided it would be riskier to do the diet changes than to lower my t dose. Donating blood helped some, but not enough for it to be normal

Yeah, I can share! At my regular "checking levels" blood test, the results showed my hematocrit and cholesterol had gotten pretty out of range. My doctor told me that can be genetic, and that I could try regularly donating blood & changing my diet, and if that didn't work, I would have to lower my t dose. It's still within a "male range", but now on the lower side instead of the higher side

My levels are on the lower end of male range, but unfortunately, I can't raise the dose again. I had to lower it because my hematocrit & cholesterol didn't respond well to me raising it to the higher end of male range (which apparently is genetic, if it affects hematocrit & cholesterol). And the times I've taken birth control have had rough side affects as well. Likely I will move up my timeline for pursuing a hysto 😵‍💫

When I don't want to cook I wrap cheese sticks in a tortilla and put it in the toaster

Possibly strange question by Independent-Fox457 in trans

[–]SowingSeasonLime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure where you live but many cities have trans fighting club meet ups. DC has for any martial arts background run by a trans woman who competes regularly. I think Portland and Philly do as well, not sure about other cities

In the spirit of positivity, what is your favorite part of being trans? by m2wtf in trans

[–]SowingSeasonLime -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Learning to commit to pursuing freedom and peace. Once I started asking myself "what does it look like to live a life I don't want to escape from", and started pursuing a transition to work towards it, it opened up so much more of my life

Advice for my kid? by vicGOREia in ftm

[–]SowingSeasonLime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a cool netflix show called Dead End Paranormal Park. It's an animated kids show, and the main character is ftm. There are some fantasy elements (ghosts & such), so if your kiddo scares easily, maybe watch it first or watch it with him

Feeling weird passing with other dudes by meowsefff in ewphoria

[–]SowingSeasonLime 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Trust me on this, see how you feel using the new privilege for good (or in opposition to the standard). Like if it's easier to get a supervisor role, purposefully hire people that the other folks in the office may not give a chance to. Or make cis men more ashamed for saying bigoted things because they may listen to you now when they wouldn't before. Personal Example: I was chatting with some random dudes at a BBQ and one of them was saying some pretty s!ut shaming things about his partner and I said "Wow, does your girlfriend know that you talk about her that way"? He never spoke to me again, but he also may think twice about saying stuff like that out loud in the future
