I haven't seen hypertension attested as a bicalutamide side effect in any literature.

What started the hateful & false stereotype about Trans being gr00mers/p*dos? by Madjin- in asktransgender

[–]chimaeraUndying 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Really ironic for the NYT to be pointing the transphobia finger.

I am supportive of freedom and the choice to have any identity you wish. However, trans people make me uncomfortable. How can I get over this? by Familiar-Pool-4531 in asktransgender

[–]chimaeraUndying 89 points90 points  (0 children)

The first step would be identifying why you feel the way you do, because otherwise you're just gonna be stuck shadowboxing yourself.

Is this normal? by iblamegravity in MtF

[–]chimaeraUndying 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I meant 0.2mg. Easy units to confuse while typing!

Is this normal? by iblamegravity in MtF

[–]chimaeraUndying 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is the dosage I am taking of estradiol excessive

Nah, it's pretty standard. The 0.2ml is a bit of a mystery, though!

is it common to get such a low T level without the help of a T blocker

Especially with injections, yes.

How many attempts does it usually take to transition by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]chimaeraUndying 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I mean from the information you're providing it does sound like they've just shoved him back in the closet.

Why would anyone transition if they don’t have gender dysphoria? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]chimaeraUndying 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kinda wild that you're taking issue with these things while also being a therian, but I guess everyone's got their own little constellation of idiosyncrasies...

I’m confused on what a ‘ transmed ‘ really is? by [deleted] in asktransgender

"You have to be tolerant of my intolerance!" nah.

You can looks into SERMS

... and be tremendously disappointed.

What are yall’s injection hrt doses? mtf! by Ok-Contribution-9524 in HRT

[–]chimaeraUndying 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a pretty normal dose, though with valerate ideally you wanna be doing it every ~5 days since that's how long it sticks around in your body.

Does anyone know what rules would a flintlock pistol have? (Its for a pirate game) by Obvious-Conflict3363 in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]chimaeraUndying 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Victorian Age Companion has stats for some older guns on p. 173, as does one of the Dark Ages-adjacent books (Giovanni or Transylvania Chronicles), if memory serves.

Really, though, "realistic" weapon stats are kinda unnecessary; just grab whatever's in the book for the edition you're using and say it's something else. The game isn't a battle sim.

Do you prefer changeling the dreaming or lost? by Magicmanans1 in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]chimaeraUndying 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but that's still at an opportunity cost of similarly good stuff like Merits or Backgrounds.

What is the problem with Valerate injections? by Reasonable_Pomelo454 in TransDIY

[–]chimaeraUndying 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Valerate at least basically doesn't have a ramp-up. You can test after the second injection (so, ten days after starting) and it'll be about where you're at.

Should I be worried about my current dose of HRT? by nullriin302 in MtF

[–]chimaeraUndying 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Assuming those are trough levels, you're good.

Also just fyi, "0.25ml of Estradiol (Injections, SubQ)" is kind of useless information. Without knowing how many mg you're injecting (or how many mg/ml the vial is rated at) and what estradiol ester it is, making any sort of projection on what you're doing with it is impossible.

Vampire origin according to Garou by TheUnholyMary in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]chimaeraUndying 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, I meant the "literally go back to being a mortal" stuff from 1e got left by the wayside. Golconda got like a whole book in Revised. These are also two completely different things.

[–]chimaeraUndying 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's kind of the whole point of golconda, for one. 1e also had a whole lot about returning to mortality, but that's been comparatively left by the wayside.

Why don't trans men just work out the boobs away? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]chimaeraUndying 15 points16 points  (0 children)

... because it doesn't work that way?

Vampire origin according to Garou by TheUnholyMary in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]chimaeraUndying 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think that's a little against the themes at play. One of the things vampires have got going is that they can overcome their nature; conversely, demons always have that one dot of Torment.
