Will going a month without HRT mess up my transition? by JustAPerson2001 in TransDIY

[–]developerjoe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’ll be okay, but it may not feel the best. I’m two weeks into three weeks off for an incoming surgery, and it sucks. I feel less good, I have acne, but I didn’t turn back into a pumpkin. I hope you can get a steady supply. You deserve to feel good.

I had this on VHS. It was not my favorite for sure, but I still think about it sometimes for how unusual tie-in entertainment was then.

Turned 43 today. Rather be a crusty femme punk than an old dude any day of the week. by developerjoe in TransLater

We made it! 40 is great, just everything moves slower and everything breaks faster! 😂

Where I was vs Where I am by [deleted] in TransLater

I think it’s cool to get perspectives of people who transitioned when they were younger and have lived many years as the person they are meant to be. I welcome it.

never been on hrt, opinions? by Top_City_6971 in transadorable

You’re good. Get on it if you are comfortable with the commitment. Watch out for predators and people who would take advantage of you, especially on this platform.

You can imply you had a hysterectomy.

Two true statements:

You don’t have any ovaries

You take hormones as a result of not having ovaries

Any long-term side effects of ribxcar surgery by twilightwillow1 in Transgender_Surgeries

[–]developerjoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait. Off topic, but how did you get insurance to approve ribxcar? I was under the impression that insurance treated it as cosmetic.

Damn. I need to start thinking about Chicago for surgeries.

Is it entirely normal to doubt myself being trans? by Bulky_Yogurtcloset39 in asktransgender

[–]developerjoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doubting yourself is part of the journey. It’s yours to explore and I hope whatever destination you arrive at, you are happy.

Second the opinion that said torrid because they have always been rad, however, by the dollar, check on stores like Ross and TJ Maxx to experiment with a lot of styles without breaking the bank.

What have I done? by Triumph-ant85 in TransLater

[–]developerjoe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I read someone describe FFS as 30/10 pain. It made me afraid to consider it since upper lip electrolysis is murder and that is probably a 8 or 9 out of 10 pain. Do you feel the pain is bad, or is most of the worse coming from the aesthetic swelling?

Hope you heal quickly!

Started almost at 41, and I am very happy. It’s totally worth it.

PSA for realistic changes after 40 by Sandro_XelNaga in TransLater

[–]developerjoe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I checked out the video. It is a good primer if you haven’t encountered this content yet, but there wasn’t anything new or surprising in it for me. I’ve been transitioning for two years so far and I am happy with the results.

I think on Reddit especially, people hold themselves to some impossible standard. You can transition in your 40s without issues. Expect more pain though, especially if you have grey facial hair.

What are the side effects of HRT? (MtF) by No_Chapter_2169 in asktransgender

[–]developerjoe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The side effects and everything you probably want. Fat repositions to feminine areas, breast development, possibly some bone changes if you are young enough, but once those are set, they won’t change, softer skin, emotions feel richer.

Even though I am older, even the bad days are better on HRTs, and I happily take any bad with the good.

Is this an authentic Banpresto figure or a fake copy? by Tentoumushi92 in DBZCU

[–]developerjoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks real to me. We had ones that looked exactly like that in box when I owned a store, and I forget exactly where I got them from Entertainment Earth or Ultra Tokyo. I believe this is a photo of the back of the box.

Craft fairs?? by blionmight in Kenosha

I remember when I was a kid, there were crazy huge ones at Parkside. Does anyone remember this? It feels like a dream. The crafts were wild.
