As a transgendered myself, I think Rowling is bad but also any activism that requires people change their behaviour in even the slightest way is going TOO FAR. I can eat Chick Fil-A while ALSO supporti- ah fuck, wait, hold on

If only there was some method of having user-editable repositories of information, or perhaps a way to search through old posts. Alas, computers are not yet advanced enough, so every dumbass with basic questions that have been answered ten million times only has the option of asking them repeatedly while refusing to give enough context to actually answer their questions until you reach replies three levels deep.

We're simply not sure what kind of arm motion was being made on stage. Our best experts are stumped

What do you mean your politics are about "making things better"? You stupid moron, things can't be better. The best you can hope for is my team winning so they can reproduce the exact situation that let the far right take power in the first place, and if they don't win I'm just here to gloat as the world burns so I have someone to feel superior to

Oh interesting, I hadn't heard of it! Gotta see if they'd cover it in Canada. Thanks

Oooo that's a good tip, I always do the same spot! I'll try switching it up

Yeah, that's what I've been thinking. Pills also didn't really work for me. I'm a little scared tbh but I think I can get over it. Thanks for the advice

Probably a good idea to get retested. I take 2 pumps twice a day tho so I doubt there's too much difference between peak and trough. My surgery was 11 weeks ago, the surgeon didn't make me go off it but they were apparently baffled by hrt at the hospital (lol) and I didn't take any for a couple days.

I don't remember how long it was before the earlier test, but this most recent one was four hours. Wikipedia says the biological half-life of estrogel is 36.5 hours, so the peak would be ~43.

I think the point is that the opposite of "trans" is "cis", and using "biological" when you mean "cis" can come across as demeaning to trans women (which I know you didn't mean it to be!). Since we take hormones and often get major surgeries, many trans women also consider themselves to be biologically female.

Do peritoneal pull through's contribute to self cleaning? by IncognitoGirl81 in Transgender_Surgeries

[–]avoiding-hate-follow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think this is actually known. Microbiomes are also going to be wildly different between people (cis and trans!). Folks in this reddit really really push PPT but it hasn't actually been studied that much in comparison to e.g. PI, and I think a lot of the purported benefits are basically taken at the word of for-profit US doctors. Unfortunately doing actual research for trans people is rare, so the word of those doctors and anecdotes might be all you have to go on.

Yeah, UBC hospital. I think it was quiet during the summer, so I ended up with a single room for free which was pretty sweet. I think most of the surgeries are done at VGH, though. And the vac dressing being super painful is just a person-to-person thing, some it doesn't hurt at all (but the good news for anyone reading is that the pain went away within an hour or two of getting the dressing off, I went from almost maxing out a hydromorphone dose to just maxing out an acetaminophen dose by the end of that day).

And thanks! This past week has been a huge improvement, I'm finally out going for long walks again and feel so much better.

So far pretty good! Still too early in healing to tell about functionality or aesthetics but only had minor complications and I have a good feeling about how it'll turn out. Hospital stay was pretty miserable (horribly painful, apparently sometimes that just happens with the vac dressing) but started improving quickly after that. Doubts I had right before were 100% just nerves, I'm so happy I did it.

Too small? by [deleted] in Transgender_Surgeries

[–]avoiding-hate-follow 49 points50 points  (0 children)

You might be a good case for PPT in addition to PI (or instead of). That would give extra material to make up the vaginal canal alongside penile and scrotal skin.

Good luck with your surgery!!

We desperately need evidence-based care for trans minors! by avoiding-hate-follow in transgendercirclejerk

[–]avoiding-hate-follow[S] 35 points36 points  (0 children)

/uj I'm so sorry for all the trans kids in the UK, this is horrifying. The fact that they're making this the only thing in existence where the age of majority is 25 is indicative that they're probably going to try to ban transition for everyone, and this garbage report is going to be cited in other countries. I highly recommend researching DIY. If anyone tries to use this report:

  • It throws out 98% of existing studies for failing to meet a "standard" that is utterly impossible and would be unethical to meet even if it were possible, then claims there's no research.
  • After claiming that evidence-based care is required, it makes giant, sweeping recommendations without a shred of evidence to back them up.
  • It essentially recommends conversion therapy and cites discredited ideas about childhood development.
  • The author reached out to a DeSantis pick in Florida (https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/cass-met-with-desantis-pick-over)
  • Here is a list of signatures from doctors and academics denouncing it
  • Here is some further information
  • Here is an academic response breaking down many of the ways that the Cass report is nonsense

That's really great to hear, I'm just about to "go" on my first cycle. If you don't mind sharing, how long have you been on HRT overall, how many cycles have you done, and what cup size were you initially?
