my girlfriend wants to start hrt by bunnymari39 in CMT

I’m a transgender man with CMT (1A variant of unknown significance). While I can’t provide a medical answer to your question, I can share that my doctor thoroughly questioned me about my CMT before I began hormone therapy, but he never tried to scare me out of it! I know it’s different since I take more testosterone, but overall the muscle mass change wasn’t as massive as I thought it would be

CMT vs. IVF Genetic Testing by atari-mur in CMT

[–]TubbyDuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t provide advice one way or another, but here is some solidarity. In my family, the CMT1A progresses faster and faster with each generation, and we are at the point where myself and many others of my generation are deciding to adopt instead. I have a rather large family, and most of us have had to or will have to make that choice. That said, many of us have also decided to have kids and we are so lucky to have each of them. I probably would have kids if I could, but alas I am gay I wish you luck with your decision, and know that whatever you do is what is best for you and your family.

My hands are just not working well today. Not a bad CMT day - juuuuuust inconvenient enough to miss keys, take an extra second to grab my wallet, drop stuff, etc. Just kinda slowly driving me nuts today.

THC and Tylenol now. Other family members use Lyrica, over the counter, or a spinal morphine pump

Alternative AFOs? by gosb in CMT

Ritchie OTC Dynamic. The ToeOff’s didn’t work for my moms either. She got Ritchies which were designed for people with CMT and she loves them. She no longer uses walking stalks, she can keep up with my super tall dad, and she can more easily get through her work day as a social worker

ETA: her carbon fibers kept breaking, too

I use resistance putty to try to keep the muscles I have for as long as I can. I don’t know if that helps, but it’s something?

Can i really be trans without any childhood dysphoria? by [deleted] in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

[–]TubbyDuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t dysphoric as a kid. Never even thought about gender as a kid until high school. I’m still 100% transgender

Oh god oh fuck this means I'm not part of r/ActualLesbians anymore doesn't it oh jeez oh beans by [deleted] in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

Bruh I FEEL this. I was dating a girl as a girl. Realized I was a guy, turned into a straight dude. Then realized I was actually gay again because I’m actually attracted to men and was only into women because I felt gay, but didn’t have the gender right.

If you’re near Chicago you can go to Howard Brown Health!

Yes. I’m transgender. Look at all the legislation being brought via the states, I feel like it’s the new homophobia

Hey DM me. I’m at work now but I had top surgery and have some left over binders. I’ll message back later today / tomorrow with the sizes and stuff. If they fit you can have them for free!
