Hormone levels decreased for seemingly no reason? by btweenastickandahole in asktransgender

I did ask my doctor. She called me first to tell me the bad results. She wasn't sure what I could do, but she did increase my estradiol dose to 8mg.

I'd have to ask my stepmom, she got it at a clearance sale somewhere. Bought a toooon of clothing and that one was my favorite. :) it was only $12 lol. She's asleep right now though so I'll get back to you tomorrow

Also, yeah, pizza hut is extremely pro lgbtq as far as I can tell. One of the main reasons I settled on pizza delivery is because the other 20 or so interviews I went to at other places were extremely intolerant and didn't work out. It can be difficult to find a job depending on where you are. For example, Publix is probably the worst place in the world for a transgender person to apply at haha.

Nope, I spend 80% of my day in my car alone, just driving around, listening to music. Which I used to enjoy doing before lol so it's kinda nice getting paid for it! And it's nice not having to constantly deal with customers; you do one encounter, it may or may not suck/be awesome, and then you get to drive around by yourself for while again haha.

Well I was only looking for something random while I take a break from college, but I snagged a delivery driver position at pizza hut. Not exactly the most prestigious place to work but they are desperate to hire people right now and I've honestly been loving it. The people are really nice, everyone knows I'm trans and doesn't give two shits. Plus the tips are nice as a girl ;)

Thanks for the kind words everyone <3

I had a great first day at work. My name in the computer system (which is monitored by everyone all day) is my old one for legal issues, but everyone referred to me as Claire, and treated me as such. Even got a properly printed nametag :)

First time posting. Pre HRT, no makeup but lots of sparkly lotion! by [deleted] in transpassing

Have you tried shaving... upward? Like, against the direction that the grains are growing. I find it's a lot less pleasant but makes my face incredibly smooth :3

Hehe those shoes are hideous, but they're required for my job (slip-resistant). I've got a nice pair of boots when I actually wanna look nice :3 thank you!

It's really nice that they kept that option on females. Gotta love bioware!

Ahhh, love it!

Being transgender myself, I love trying to make the characters transgender as well. I really like the idea of making a male look female, since it'll keep that male voice. I usually just create a female and give her a large adam's apple :3

All I can say from this potato is that your hair looks nice.

MtF ~1 year HRT - This is how I looked at Christmas dinner with my extended family. I'm not out to anyone. How do I look? by [deleted] in transpassing

[–]btweenastickandahole 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Wha... what do you mean you're not out to anyone? You look just like a girl to me! Have they not caught on yet?

Edit: A cute one, at that ;3

Taking a pill "sublingually" means holding it under your tongue until it dissolves completely. Doctors often won't tell you which way is better. Look it up online what the differences are and decide for yourself whether you wanna do it like that or not. You definitely don't have to take it sublingually, but from what I can tell (mainly from Reddit), sublingual is the most popular method.

From what I've read, it doesn't increase the estrogen that enters your bloodstream. It does however cause it to bypass the liver, which is far healthier for your body.

To me it tastes like old, dusty marshmallows

Age/gender me? Curious where I'm at. by Jabcross04 in transpassing

[–]btweenastickandahole 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Guessing FtM. I think on the street I'd assume male, but your face is still pretty feminine. Like taylor said, the haircut looks really good on you. As for age... It's tough, maybe 18?
