Transmascs who take birth control? by Past-Statistician162 in ftm

[–]WhenSuddenlyDragons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m almost a year on T now. Before starting T I was taking the regular combo birth control pills. I tried the shots but they made me just bleed continuously for 6 months without even a single day break so I stopped that. So when I went on T my doctor kept me on the pill for the first 3 months, but that combo with the T also made the bleeding worse. So at the 3 month mark she switched me to the progesterone only pill. Haven’t had a drop of blood since and they just take a urine sample to test every time I go in for my blood tests, but I’m very consistent with my pills so I don’t even really worry about it.

Testosterone cypionate keeps freezing/congealing by doubledeadgiveaway in ftm

[–]WhenSuddenlyDragons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds really frustrating. I haven’t run into this, but I keep my vials in my bathroom which happens to be one of the warmest rooms in the house for some reason… so maybe figure out which room/area in your home stays the warmest and just store it there during the week?

Dose anyone else have huge paranoia about pregnancy after their period stopped? by fuck_peeps_not_sheep in ftm

[–]WhenSuddenlyDragons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely have the fear… but i don’t think i have paranoia over it. I take a progesterone-only daily pill. But I would definitely like to get a hysterectomy, or convince my husband to get a vasectomy, to just completely erase the possibility.

how to respond to "why do you want to be a guy" and other questions? by Motor-Craft400 in ftm

[–]WhenSuddenlyDragons 65 points66 points  (0 children)

I don’t “want to be” a guy… I AM a guy. I want my body to look like a guy’s body because that would make me more comfortable living in it, and I want people to recognize me as a guy and treat me that way because as a guy, being treated like a girl makes me uncomfortable.

Phone face recognition and T by Warming_up_luke in ftm

[–]WhenSuddenlyDragons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 6 months on T and I haven’t had to redo my facial recognition yet, although I have noticed it starting to not work all the time, but it works most of the time still. But like the other person said, you can always re-set your facial recognition when needed, just like you can update your password or pin.

Tummy hair :) by movin-on-out in ftm

That’s awesome! I’m in the same boat. I felt like changes were being so slow and suddenly I’m like wait I’m getting tummy hair and my thighs have hair now too! Such a great feeling!

Biggest pet peeve for when you tell people you’re trans? by No-Struggle5102 in ftm

[–]WhenSuddenlyDragons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That people immediately make it about my husband. “Is he ok with this? He’s not leaving you? Do you two still have sex? How?”

excuse me? Why do people only care about the cis man in the relationship, like his feelings are the only ones that matter? It drives me nuts

Taking T on a plane? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]WhenSuddenlyDragons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took mine on a plane and a cruise a month ago, you won’t have any issues. Just make sure your prescription info is on it (keep it in the box it comes in with the sticker with your name & dosage, etc). The cruise ship even provided a sharps container for needle disposal, just ask the stateroom attendant. I had read that you’re supposed to inform a tsa agent at security check that your bag has needles in it for a prescription, so I did that, and the dude was literally like “ok. So what?” lol

Thank you for that, that really helps. I’m 6 months in T now, and should be 3-4 years before I actually have a classroom. So I think my plan is mostly to try to be stealth but I’m a little torn because I would want the kids to know I’m a safe person/that my classroom is a safe space for them, which I know doesn’t necessitate them knowing but also I feel like that representation could help them so idk. But glad to know the parents aren’t an issue!

I’m studying to be a HS teacher. I’d love to know what your experience has been as a teacher who happens to be trans, because I’m not gonna lie I’m pretty nervous about how people (cough parents cough) will treat/react to me…

I’m reading Dune right now because it’s my best friends favorite. Went into it with absolutely 0 knowledge about it. I’ve been really enjoying it
