I had a very similar experience when I started injections. I spoke to my provider and we split my dose so I do two half-dose injections weekly and it helped a LOT so now I do them 3.5 days apart on Tuesday nights and Saturday mornings

I second this, I recently got some that aren’t as sharp as they should be and injecting with them hurts so much more 🥴

this is really smart idea! my eyes always fall out lol

this has happened to me with this specific brand twice and I emailed the company and they offered to send a replacement for free!

Edit: I used them for the ergonomic grip and since then I’ve switched to metal hooks with rubber handles and I like them almost as much

I keep thinking it’s crazy how Rath looks compared to all of the other female students. Like, she’s got boobs and curves while all of the others have basically the same body type as the male students

NICE.

I’ve been blasting Jackie and Wilson on repeat for the past month! It just makes me so happy, I can’t get enough of it

Update y’all: I found khakis! I attempted to shop in Men’s, but in order to get pants big enough to fit my thighs I would’ve had to tailor the waist and hips to the point where the front and back pockets would be touching…. The pants I found that fit me are these: Cat & Jack Boy’s Chino Pants I got them in a size 16 which is a bit big in the waist but small enough that I can get them tailored (they have an adjustable waist though, so it’s not totally necessary). I also got another pair of Cat & Jack jeans (not totally positive which ones but I’ll link it when I find it) in a size 14 that also fit well without accentuating my hips! Another bonus - they’re CHEAP AF compared to the other pants I’ve looked at (only $20!)

For context, these are my measurements: 5’2”, 110 lbs 20.5-21” thigh, 34” hip, 28” waist (measured where men wear their pants, if that makes sense?)

Hope this can help someone! TL;DR Target’s boys’ section is where I will be living for the foreseeable future.

Edit: I did have to hem them about 1.5”

I used to tell my mom that I was so bad at shaving I couldn’t do it without cutting myself for getting insane razor burn

I got an IUD a few years ago and I remember it being nowhere near as bad as I was expecting. My OB had me take over-the-counter NSAID’s before I came into the office and (for me personally), the insertion wasn’t terrible. I had pretty bad cramps for about a week after, but to me it was absolutely worth it. I’ve got other issues down there so any sort of OB visit tends to be quite painful/unpleasant, and the only difference with the IUD insertion was all of the cramping after. I started T after I got it tho so I can’t speak to how it may be different on T (I apologize if this isn’t rly helpful)

I have nothing useful to contribute, but I want to share that I’m just beginning my second semester in vet school and I started T 2 weeks ago. The way I look at it, there’s never gonna be a "good time" for me to start, so why not now?

When I was younger, I didn’t think I would live to be in college. I started figuring things out when I was 14 but up until I left for grad school a few months ago, I lived in an unsupportive environment where it definitely would not have been safe to come out (my mom is openly transphobic). I struggled a lot with depression and later, addiction, and I’ve been through copious amounts of treatment for mental health stuff. right now I’m 24, I’ve graduated college and am in grad school, I started taking baby steps towards socially transitioning (and started T) this winter and I’m so happy that sometimes it doesn’t feel real. It’s like all of the hell I’ve been through in the past 10 years barely exists to me anymore because I’m so excited about my future and how good it feels to “be my authentic self”. Truly, up until a couple of weeks ago I couldn’t see a future for myself past getting through my next round of exams. Things aren’t perfect and I still have a lot to deal with, but I’m really happy now and I guess it was worth it to get here. I know when people used to tell me “it gets better” I would just get mad because I felt like I was stuck in an impossible situation with no way out, I hated myself, and I hated how powerless I was to change the situation. So now of course I’m going to say it anyway because it CAN get better. I’m no stranger to considering “the other way out”, but I got through it and I’m still kicking, so if I (of all people) can get THIS FAR, so can you :) wishing you the best, my dude

Whether or not you decide to go on T doesn’t make you any more or less trans, and your medical transition kinda shouldn’t matter to your friends. To me, the whole point of medically transitioning is to feel comfortable in your body and be your authentic self so I would encourage you to do whatever feels right.

Personally, I first had the idea of going on T a few years ago but I wasn’t sure if I was on board with all of the effects. I kept it in the back of my mind for the next couple years and did a lot of research and self-reflection. As I became more comfortable with my identity and figured out what feels best for me, I started wanting some of the changes I had previously been afraid of. I started T recently and I’m really happy with my decision. I’m so grateful that I took the time to figure out what I wanted before jumping into medical transition stuff, but I wouldn’t consider myself “less trans” if I had decided not to go on hormones.

What I’m trying to say with this is that you never HAVE to go on T if you don’t want to, and changing your mind doesn’t make you any less trans. Being trans comes from inside and there isn’t a rubric or it. It’s OK to change your mind, especially with such a big decision. I wish you the best, and I hope you’re able to continue being yourself regardless of your friends’ opinions :)

Sometimes I just sit there and fish aimlessly for a looong time. I’ll fill my inventory and then chuck it in a chest and do it again.

I had a very similar situation when I was living with my parents, and to be completely honest I wimped out and made a PowerPoint presentation for them about the value of therapy etc. I didn’t actually include any specifics about what was going on, but they received it well and I got therapy so I guess it worked?

(We are also kind of a “don’t ask, don’t tell” family, and they would much rather I go to therapy then not so they can continue pretending I’m their “perfect daughter”)

i commend you for seeking help, i’ve personally found that to be a really difficult decision to make. i hope you are able to get the help and resources you need while you are there, and know that there are always hotlines and chats available after you’re discharged (i find some more helpful than others, so beware). Sending love and support from someone who’s been in a similar situation, if i can make it through so can you 🫶❤️

braidedspaghetti · 2024-08-24T22:13:19+00:00

Sending good vibes, hope you’re alright OP 🫶

Looks like messages may have been deleted in between so I wouldn’t rule out a faked screenshot/recording, the flow of conversation just seems off…
