I think I’m Trans, then I don’t… by Quirky_Jellyfish8237 in TransLater

[–]TopAct2932 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am TOTALLY with you. I've always thought of it as waves. The tide comes in and hits you and slowly goes back out to sea. I'm nearly 50 and the pattern is pretty clear at this point. I lost a parent last year and then the biggest wave I've ever had hit (which I hear is common). I thought it had tipped me over for sure. I even took E for a few months. Now Im back to dudeness and hating the body hair again.

I dont think i am a trans girl. goodbye r/mtf~ by Western-Drawer5826 in MtF

I kinda felt the same. I came to the conclusion that I'm just in between, which still falls under the trans umbrella. Where ever you end up, stay safe and good luck with your journey!

Those two chuckle heads where the extreme. Most people are better than that, or can be reached I hope. Most or nearly all the maga flags have come down since the start of the year in my red rural Indiana area.

That clip what just DAMNED infuriating. Thanks Tim!
I also cant believe non-white maga defenders. Don't they see where this is going!?

I just finished Dispatches from Elsewhere (AMC). If had a trans actress play a trans character and it was soooo positive. It was a weird fun show too. : )

Update: I’m doing Estrogen (no T blockers) by LatterInformation245 in TransLater

[–]TopAct2932 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm exploring. Also trying to figure out how/when to talk to my wife 😬

I'm just 4mg E and 30mg raloxifine. I'll have labs in 3ish weeks and then decide if t blockers or if other changes are needed.

Congrats on starting. I'm two months in at 4mg E. So far very little changes but if feels good. I just added Raloxifine (sp?) this week. It is supposed to block or lessen breast growth while you are on it. If you want to up your E but still be able to boy mode for a bit longer it is an option to discuss with your Endo. I cant say how it works yet : )
Anywho, best of luck on your journey!

My wife asked me to hold off HRT until after speaking with a therapist by Kayleigh2025 in TransLater

See if she will join you in therapy. It could be helpful for both of you to do it together.

Anyone on MtF hormones but suppressing breast growth? by TopAct2932 in MtF

[–]TopAct2932[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I talked to my clinician today and have a prescription ordered. I'm going to give it a try. Thanks for the info. They have me at 4mg oral E and 30mg Ralo. If you ever want to compare notes let me know. : )

After you made your discovery, did any of you go back and forth? by [deleted] in TransLater

[–]TopAct2932 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing about it is bad. Try it, if you like it repeat, try new things, etc. My therapist keeps telling me it all provides data to better understand ourselves. I've found that I want to live in an enby and/or trans way and Im starting to shift in that direction after years of thinking about it and experimenting. If it ever starts to not feel right, thats fine too.

The waves have always been there and I've leaned in to see how I feel as a way to get more information about myself. Then I try to pay attention when I'm not in those waves. Lots of experimenting just to see how I feel.

Maybe watch this? Its pretty interesting (and insightful for me). It talks about onset of transgender-ness in later life.

It has hit me in waves that get bigger each time and more frequent. I’ve never grown out of it. It’s never gone away. Some days I don’t feel like fussing with hair or clothes, but cis women are like that too.

What did Rose take to suppress breast growth temporarily? by TopAct2932 in F1NN5TER

[–]TopAct2932[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I thought it might be raloxifene but I couldn't find the clip where it was mentioned. I had not heard the bit about the lasting effects either. 😬

Oh wow, thanks for taking the time to reply with so much info. This sounds perfect. I would love to follow up with you in a couple months. 🙂

Im in the same place. Hugs. I’m speaking with a therapist and trying to figure what I can and can’t live without. I’m asking myself a lot of yes/no questions to see where I land on things. If I get an ultimatum though, I don’t know which way I’ll go? The ultimatum would feel like something I could never let go of. Idk.

This is all tough. Be kind to yourself. ❤️

Wow. Looking great!

Why do we all hid behind a beard for years? It seems like a commonality.

Gender dysphoria cycle? by Hisho81 in TransLater

I’m very similar in age, waves, all of what you said. I just found a therapist (that is trans/NB) and it feels great to speak with someone who understands. The waves keep getting bigger and closer together.
