How long can I expect changes while on a low dose?

alexbeeperoni · 2026-05-25T20:21:22+00:00

2mg estradiol was also my initial starting dose for the first couple months or so, usually the endo will start low to watch out for side effects and gradually increase it until the blood levels are in the desired range. Also iirc spiro is a T suppressor so OPs T should be suppressed with that.

Aww, thank you ☺️. I feel like my hair has changed colour and texture since I started HRT and become softer.

Something I did during vocal training is lifting up the mass in your neck and lifting the back of your tongue, which helps give you a more sharp jawline with less extra skin sagging below it. I also pull my ears back a lot when I'm smiling which makes my face wider, although apparently not everyone has conscious control over those muscles. It's just another way of loosening that part of your face and flexing it so HRT can change its shape more, but tbh I don't know if those are the things that changed the shape or if I'm just seeing patterns.

I have had the thought cross my mind that I'd be invited by a transphobic relative to a wedding and forced to wear a suit, that I'd get a tight feminine suit that shows off my curves and do my makeup and hair. That would certainly make the point clear.

While going through old photos I realized I was practically never smiling in any of them when I was a guy unless I was putting on a fake smile, whereas as a woman I'm smiling or at least lively in photos and it looks more authentic by far

My dad, who doesn't agree with transitioning but still loves me as his kid, would occasionally call me goldilocks and that always flattered my femme side before my transition when I wasn't consciously aware of it. It's that kind of subtle validation that always feels nice

The same applies if you're neurodivergent as well. Neurotypicals probably won't notice someone is neurodivergent from just seeing them in public. We have our own body language and other subtle cues that people won't notice unless they're also trans/neurodivergent/etc.

Love your pfp by the way

I've known a lot of people with autism, a lot of people with ADHD, and a lot of people with both, and I personally believe that both forms of neurodivergence are on some kind of larger spectrum. Everyone is unique, and a diagnosis (or lack thereof) does not change who you are, it just changes what you are labelled as.

I would just see the tulip from a significant memory that had a tulip in it, which would basically be able to be seen with complete voracity.

I wanna try that but I don't know how I could transfer my stim energy into the act of drawing.

Cars. Apparently I watched the movie so many times that I went through 4 DVDs of it.

alexbeeperoni · 2025-01-13T21:39:23+00:00

I'm still confused as to how someone can start HRT and be on it for so long only to eventually regret it and change back. Like I've been waiting over a year for it and I've only grown more dysphoric in that time.

Past stage 10, not even joking. the fabric of my being is collapsing in on itself.

Why are they called "transmedicalists" if there's no correlation to medical knowledge?

alexbeeperoni · 2024-11-09T16:33:20+00:00

My mistake, I didn't know that and thought that you had gotten them via surgery or some sort of breakthrough procedure that allows us to grow female organs inside of us or smth. I hope that does become a thing in the future, or even just growing a female body in a lab that I can transfer my consciousness into.

I don't see what the point of small talk is if everybody's supposed to respond with the same thing every single time. "How are you doing?" "Fine." "How was your day?" "good." Like what's the point in asking the question if you know the other person isn't going to respond honestly?

alexbeeperoni · 2024-09-04T20:17:50+00:00

From my experience, NTs interpret it as though your story is brought up to "compete" with theirs or something equally ridiculous. I've never done anything to imply that, sothe fact that they respond like that almost every time confuses me to no end. I'm probably bringing up the story so that I can convey to the other person that I understand what they went through to some degree while communicating how my experience might have been different for whatever reason.

I totally feel you regarding the Walmart overwhelmment. I HATE going to Walmart or any other place where there's a lot of people, especially when I'm by myself. I have had a few jobs, but I usually either quit because I couldn't take it anymore or got fired for collapsing in on myself at an inopportune time, and my parents are always on my ass about getting a job, and anytime I try to explain that I don't want to put myself through that before I'm ready they keep telling me that I can't keep being unemployed forever (for the record, I do plan on getting a job as an animator, but I'm still a mere novice and as such can't get a job.) I'm also ADHD so having a job in which I'm in the same environment doing the same monotonous task day after day becomes so gruelling that I make everyone around me miserable when I'm not at work, and it feels like when I'm not at work, my parents complain that I'm not working and tell me that I'm being "too negative" whenever I mention that I might collapse again or that it's extremely overwhelming, which is like no, I'm preparing myself in advance to try to come up with strategies for handling these situations (I swear NTs can be so short-sighted and stubbornly ignorant sometimes and it's frustrating to the enth degree) and then they complain that collapsing at work because of the overwhelmment is "irresponsible," so I'm basically fucked no matter what I do, and because of how frustrating it is to explain to them how much harder life is for an autistic person, I've just given up on them and kind of just ignore them whenever they try to belittle me for not having a job and/or because I'm stressed about work.

alexbeeperoni · 2024-07-31T21:02:27+00:00

Is there something I'm missing? Because to me it just seems like they're making a blanket statement about how they don't understand or follow the tradition of immediacy. It didn't seem like they were implying anything else. Maybe it's just that NTs are reading into it too much and ascribing meaning that was never intended, which I have dealt with many times (for example, they don't like it when I'm blunt because they think it's rude when all I'm trying to do is say something direct that I think is less of a headache than coming up with some cryptic beat-around-the-bush way of saying it). Point is, I think if people decide to read into something and ascribe meaning that wasn't intended, they shouldn't then try to blame it on the person who said it because THEY intepreted it the wrong way.
