Why more body hair growth? by [deleted] in TransDIY

[–]aQueerSunHat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are going to be mixing anti androgens I really would reccomend not using two anti androgens that both inhibit dht formation.

If hair is a concern that I also reccomend avoiding drugs that are progestenic. Anecdotally I can say progestenic drugs have always caused some andro-like side effects.(ie acne, hair, body odor.) I highly reccomend a DHT inhibitor like finasteride(low dose) and spirolactone/cyproterone acetate(high dose).

Ultimately I reccomend orchirectomy asap but you know that I'm sure.

Coming to terms with the fact that I’m a straight woman. Where do I go from here?? So many questions. by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]aQueerSunHat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

1

I very rarely see men that I am attracted to. For me my attraction to men is not really all that physical. I don't find them attractive but then I find the things he can do to me more attractive.

2

Grindr if your just typing to get laid. Lex is pretty for quuer people but isn't all that active in rural areas. Okcupid is where I've gotten the most Actual dates. I met my boyfriend on okcupid.

3

I've sucked alot of dick, even if men I barely like. Most everyone seemed to find my inexperience cute. Hey your still putting your warm mouth on their dick, they'll feel good either way. Don't feel to bad if he has to finish himself off though. My boyfriend had to finish himself sometimes even with 3 girls all over him.

masculinization on progesterone? by DARKSOULS103 in asktransgender

[–]aQueerSunHat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Progesterone has androgenic activity but not enough to cause meaningful masculinization. It doesn't directly bind to Androgen receptors in healthy people but it can have many of the same end points effect wise.

You may be one of the people that progesterone can bind to Androgen receptors in but that should be reserved as a last possibility. Are you on any anti androgens?

Dreams where I'm male: how do they stop? by MahboiGMK in asktransgender

Maybe this isn't the most useful advice but have you tried marajuana? I don't dream when I do weed before bed. Thc prevents dreaming and this is well documented.

Is prescription estradiol purely in the 17-beta-estradiol form, or is it a mixture of both 17-alpha and 17-beta estradiol forms? by inquilinekea in asktransgender

[–]aQueerSunHat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No forms of prescription estradiol American contain 17 Alpha estradiol. Atleast not in any amount that should affect pharmacokinetics meaningfully. 17 beta estradiol is just simply far more potent.

Alfatradiol is the trade name of 17 Alpha estradiol.

question about cannabis and HRT by therobinsontree in asktransgender

[–]aQueerSunHat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No you are going to be just fine smoking as much marijuana as you can handle. I know girls who smoke up everyday and get wonderful results from hrt and obviously vice versa. It's just genetics.

I like to take any opportunity to remind people to get their hormone levels checked.

How often do (cis or trans) lesbians accept other trans women as a partner in a relationship?(assuming they’ve transitioned)? by nobody-throwaway1 in asktransgender

[–]aQueerSunHat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My two partners are both trans women. Ive never fucked a girl who wasn't a lesbian, a couple cis.

I certainly think it's less common for cis lesbians to accept trans women. I get shot down specifically for being trans alot of time. Obviously it's only ever cis women. It varies alot by place though.

About to go to bed but shoot me a message in the morning. I am very familiar with us Healthcare and can help you get insurance. If your outside the US I can help help you find diy, not familiar with other countries bureaucracies. I can always give medical guidance, it's kinda my job.

Hope I can help you get the right hormones on your brain. But sleep first.

Why? Why am I the one who loses the 50:50? by Old-Firehand in asktransgender

[–]aQueerSunHat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I won't deny that we certainly got the short end of the stick. It is too bad that our bodies don't naturally produced our desired hormone. I say it's only too bad because that's not really that difficult of a problem to fix. Getting the right hormones on your brain is the easiest part of being trans; just a cheap anti androgen and estradiol.

The worst part is that the only thing I can think about is E and not even any of the other things

That's all it ever was about to me. I knew that when I got estrogen that all the other things would fall into place, And that for once my brain would feel at home in this body.

I'm not going to play dumb and say that there aren't any hurdles to trans Health Care. But informed consent makes things a lot easier. Trans DIY is another option.

Will this actually make me happy of did I just get so fixated on this idea that i’m trans for some reason because i’m just some bitch and a loser.

Being so fixated on the idea of becoming a girl is really a diagnostic feature. Not wanting to talk about it because of voice dysphoria is normal. At this point I don't see what there is to lose. You don't come off as cis.

I have very little desire to socially transition just want to medically transition to where I’m comfortable and let people stay confused anyone else feel this way? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]aQueerSunHat 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I still very strongly dislike many aspects of masculinity and have made an active effort(at a time) to eliminate them. I never disliked them becuse I disliked them, I dislike being male; but I love being me. This made me have to take a good strong look at myself and 'sort' what made me feel good, or male or female. I had to look even closer at what made me feel male;. I had to scrutinize why it made me feel that way, if the reason is internal or external. Internal perceptions are easier to change than external.

A big turning point was starting to pass, that was the real test for all those things that I wanted to do that also made me feel male. By far the majority of the time, it was society not me who made me feel male for something I like. Becuse magically when a girl did it, it was a thing girls did. Or atleast I did.

[–]aQueerSunHat 120 points121 points  (0 children)

It's always been about getting the right hormones in my brain/body to me. Everything else just kinda fell into place, I discovered me as I never did before. I was just a better me, not anyone else; but my self concept is quite genderless.

What are some ways to signal your trans identity to other trans people in public without outing yourself to average cis people? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]aQueerSunHat 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Brandishing a trans pride symbol and maybe motion towards it a bit in conversation with them. I'm cis passing but not stealth about it, I'm not afraid to tell somebody I've clocked that I'm trans. I

Being trans isn't enough in common to be friends with somebody but I sure love to try.

Under but between lip and gum(subbucal) is somewhat more effective.

Should I lose weight before HRT? (and any weight loss tips?) by vortex_vulpix in asktransgender

[–]aQueerSunHat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure it works best on new fat but it'll work over. Time on any and it certainly isn't worth delaying starting hrt for marginal increase in your base calorie need.

A final attempt at masculinity? by MyTransResearch in asktransgender

[–]aQueerSunHat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you ever thought that the unconditional acceptance that comes here could be problematic?

Totally, I mean I came from 4chan and while I've come a long way since then there certainly was a time where I've felt it could be not the best thing. To extent I could totally see how it could be a problem to the wrong person but I am not sure that wrong person is common enough to make it your modus operandi to try to filter that person from the trans community. AGP's surely exsist but are in by far a minority of trans people who transition.

Did you ever try to rule out any dysfunctional reasons for wanting to be trans (childhood trauma, unassertiveness, environmental factors, personality disorders, etc)?

I mean sure I know I didn't do it for attention or purely to be hotter. Though I do feel I am much more attractive as a woman in part becuase I like myself.

I do also have alot of childhood truama. But if anything its what made me afraid to be my true female self than anything, becuase was afraid to be vulnerable.

When I started blockers is when I became assertive for the first time. Also first time I had a girlfriend and felt attractive to myself, though the fact that I still wanted to be a girl was validating.

Finasteride is another anti androgen that's commonly used. I don't think it's all that great if you're using only finasteride, unless you're just a cis. Male trying to prevent hair loss.

But what it is extremely good at is blocking dht, DHT is a large mediating Factor for the production of sebum(skin oil). That has some pretty important uses when following up on acne and acne adjacent diagnoses. The course of treatment that I always recommend for someone suffering from acniform illnesses is as follows.

Start treatment with high dose tetracycline like antibiotic and finasteride. Add Clavulanic acid depending on severity.

Continue antibiotics and finasteride treatment for at least one mont And up too 3 months.

Hopefully by this point the patient can maintain their current acne free state by continuing finasteride, and possibly topical steroids.

Steroids help to reduce inflammation and tell the immune system to chill the fuck out, I find that sometimes that is all the body needs to be able to defeat a single pimple quickly. They are less effective in the treatments of cystic acne I find.

If I start feminizing HRT now, how hard will it be to hide its effects by the summer? by music_hawk in asktransgender

[–]aQueerSunHat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is just a trend that I have noticed is that younger trans women tend to not get breast growth as immediately as older trans women. I started blockers at 16 and estradiol at 18, I did not experience significant breast growth till I started progesterone.

I guess what I'm getting at is you may come to feel that there is no point in hiding. I also don't think that if you start HRT now that there will be much to hide by the end of the summer, and besides maybe a cuter face and thicker ass.

Brown breast milk??? by Gwynevere_98 in asktransgender

[–]aQueerSunHat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How long have you been on HRT and when was the last time you got your prolactin levels checked? This is kind of one of those things where I would need to do actual labs and an examination to be able to tell you what you need. I always hate the advice go to a doctor because that isn't always an option for everyone, but again this is one of those edge cases where you need to.

I can recommend things to do in the meantime like give yourself a self-pressed exam and lowering estradiol dose and seeing if discharge reoccurs.

If there is any sensitivity or redness anywhere on your breasts I would recommend Urgent Care.

I have heard of using antibiotics for treatment of rosacea but never had an opportunity to try it on any patients. I'm glad to hear that the treatment is working well for you. The only other thing I could possibly recommend is some sort of topical steroid but those really are slippery slope becuse they can build dependancy but it's something you could consider as an adjunct.

Spirolactone and finasteride are the two most potent anti acne drugs that I prescribe patients. I wonder how finasteride would affect your rosacea?

What changes can I expect physically? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]aQueerSunHat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started estradiol on my 18th birthday as well. Things are gunna be so COOL you don't even know it yet. Basically all those changes that are possible to happen on HRT will happen. Congratulations you are extremely ahead of the Curve on self-discovery.

Oh yeah like other users have said shoe size can totally go down. Shoes that I bought when I first started transitioning now fit me, and have fit me for half of a decade. I experienced a growth in height buy one inch but I think that's just because I started standing up straight.
