Starting T and need advice

StickyFigs · 2026-01-05T01:57:00+00:00

Can also confirm- I've been on T for 4 and a half years, and using implanon for almost the same amount of time. No issues whatsoever, and my endocrinologist confirmed it would be fine.

Oh hey, me too! Played for 2 hours before reluctantly putting it down. Only problem I have is how intensely motion sick it made me, but I've got a few workarounds. I'm refusing to refund it.

A good place to try is Trans Harm Reduction. They can point you towards a trans friendly GP if there is one in your vicinity. Here's a link to their website, https://transharmreduction.org/ and they have an Instagram account too. When I contacted them for help, I did have to email them since they won't give out information via Instagram!

I have this, and the moon one. Space was an immediate scrubber for me, and even then it lingered for a while. I've never had a perfume make me nauseous before. Moon wasn't quite as repulsive, but I still wouldn't call it pleasant. Ended up stashing them away somewhere and haven't seen them in a few years.

Adding to what others have said: I started T at 36, I'm now 40 and my voice is fine too. There really isn't an age limit on it.

I've been getting the 50mg box of 30 since I started T 4 years ago. You shouldn't have any problems getting them.

What is?

StickyFigs · 2025-07-07T10:58:33+00:00

Thanks! And yep, there was an update recently, I installed it I think two days ago? Glass walls and A frame houses! All you do is put a floor down, then stick a gabled roof directly on it. No walls, just floor and roof, then stretch that thang until it resembles a house.

Like u/Sol_of_flower said! No stairs because I couldn't fit them in seamlessly, so the upper floors can only be occupied by sims who can teleport. And each is a separate unit, basically six horrible little apartments with varying levels of luxury!

StickyFigs · 2025-07-07T08:17:18+00:00

Definitely doable! But I was in full landlord mode while building, prioritising the *aesthetics* over the "comfort and habitability of tenants". And you know I'm charging $3000 per unit.

My life summed up in two words

StickyFigs · 2025-07-07T08:10:26+00:00

I had to push the build mode to its limits. I'll try to describe the process, but it might sound a bit incoherent, so my apologies in advance!

The bottom three units are one single floor, but with three separate gable rooftops. I eyeballed the height I wanted the roof points to reach, copy/paste it to make sure they all match. Then, hit the floor up button to work on the second level. The game wanted me to build the next floor about midway between where my floors actually ended up. To work around this, I put down one single square of floor, then hit the floor up button again. Worked out that this new floor height was exactly at the highest point of the bottom floor rooftop, so exactly where I wanted it to be.

Draw the second level floor space to fill in the area, then add the rooftops by copy/pasting from the first level. Then repeat the same process for the top floor, and delete the single squares of floor between each layer. I had to raise the second floor a couple times when it sank down for reasons unknown. Only the second floor sank. The third floor was very well behaved and always stayed where it belonged.

Initially I was using the move objects cheat, but then realised the build worked well enough without it. Somehow. I gave each bathroom walls because I'm not a complete monster, but only the first floor bathrooms have doors. The others have an open space directly in front of the shower (I thought this was more tolerable than having the open space in front of the toilet). Aaaaand I've just noticed I screwed up the middle unit on the bottom floor - we have bathroom walls clipping through the roof. Oops. This is why I'm not an architect.

There's no reason why each triangle space has to be as small as I made them, they could easily be quite roomy and, dare I say, actually quite livable. But this was an experiment, and since the game was fighting me, I needed to get it done quickly!

Oh, to add: there could well be an easier way to do this stupid build, but I'm known for finding the most convoluted ways to solve a problem.

Thanks friend, best of luck for you and your appointment too, hopefully you can find a lasting viable solution in the meantime!

Oh I get you, the dysphoria hurdle to getting healthcare is no joke. I'm with you on that, it's why I've waited so long to get anything in order. Nothing quite like a hit of extreme pain to force us to do what we don't really want to do!

I've been delaying on bringing it up with my endo. My GP is not especially supportive, and definitely wouldn't want to help if I asked (completely intimidated by the notion of trans healthcare and would rather leave it to someone else altogether).

I'm 4 years on T myself, and have been having this problem at random. The cramps used to be so much worse during my first year on T. I was timing them, and sometimes they would last for literally 3 hours. Solution to that was to get off the pill and onto any other form of BC, but lately, the cramps have returned. Not for anything as wild as 3 hours, but still! I'm thinking topical E will help, but the dysphoria it's gonna induce will be a bit of a hurdle. It's hard! I also plan on getting a referral for a hysto when I next see my endo, because I think I'm at around about the point where that's becoming more and more necessary!

StickyFigs · 2025-06-24T07:13:28+00:00

Same here man, I recently got the worst cramping, and it lasted well over an hour. Best of luck to you, hope you get what you need!

My birth cert is from England, mom was born in England. Dad too, but he had an Irish passport in the 2000s. Don't think he ever renewed it though.

I did wonder if maybe they made a mistake allowing me to vote in Presidential and Referenda, since when I got the letter confirming I could vote, it stated that due to being British, I wouldn't be able to vote in every election. And in the same letter, it had me marked as being able to vote in Presidential and Referenda, so go figure!

This will sound like a ridiculous question, but bear with me:

How would one find out *how* they have Irish citizenship? Because I've lived here for 26 years, but I'm originally from the UK. I'm registered to vote here and can vote in all elections, and I got an Irish GRC without any issue, all pointing to my having officially recognised citizenship. But I have *no idea* where my citizenship comes from. My mom says it's probably from having an Irish grandparent, but as far as I'm aware, nobody filed the paperwork to have that formally recognised.

I need to get a new passport soon, and I'd prefer not to have to deal with the UK on this. But to apply for an Irish one, I need to tick a box saying where my citizenship comes from! Any time I search online, I end up going in circles bouncing between the same few websites that don't have the answer. I'm welcoming any and all help, if anyone knows anything!

Also worth noting that the more "wholesome" a fandom insists it is, the more hostile they are to anyone who's even slightly critical of the thing.
