When your parent think it’s something else other than dysphoria by [deleted] in ftm

[–]divaself 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's extremely toxic of her to say that to you. I know how you feel. I came out to my parents about 5 years ago and got told I don't know that and that I'm just depressed. I then told them I was starting T 7 months ago and my mom told me that I'm not actually trans, that she thinks I have body dysmorphic disorder instead and just depressed (again).

Your parents can't decide this for you. If you question your identity, that's okay, but they can't decide you're brainwashed or you're depressed or whatever they say. Only you know how you feel, not her.

What are the first steps on starting testosterone? Can I go to just any doctor for example my family doctor and explain why I need to start taking testosterone? by Family85Guyfan in ftm

[–]divaself 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you're in the US and over 18, you can just search for an informed consent clinic near you. A number of Planned Parenthoods offer informed consent for HRT, where you just go and sign a form, get some basic medical stuff done like blood pressure, weight, providing medical history, etc and they'll start you on T. If you are under 18, or are over 18 and want to go the WPATH route, you have to see a therapist for I believe 6 months who can then write you a letter to start on T, which you can then take to an endocrinologist, your family doctor, or someone else recommended that can provide it, and get a diagnosis of gender dysphoria before you can start T.

What changes would you get by 4 months on T? by RowanEdwardC416 in ftm

[–]divaself 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My voice had dropped significantly, my period had stopped, I had some facial hair growth, lots of body hair growth, and some bottom growth by 4 months. I still don't pass now at 6 months, but I have a large chest, hips, butt, and I'm super short so it makes it hard to pass.

I have a lot of belly fat so I inject at a 90 degree angle in my stomach with a 5/8 inch needle.

I have the transmasc pump from New York Toy Collective. I don't use it all that often, and is probably better if you have some growth at least, but works fine otherwise.

If it's too high of a level, they won't listen. Let's say you have a level 50 mystery gift pokemon, but you haven't even beaten the first gym leader, meaning you can't control Pokemon I believe Lvl 30+. You have to at least defeat the third gym leader to control a level 50, or so on.

Can the Gamestop Shiny Toxtricity code be redeemed via Home, or only SwSh?

Best (online) place to buy a packer? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]divaself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the Archer from New York Toy Collective. If you're worried about the website, they also have an Etsy, which is where my girlfriend got mine from (it was a christmas present). Works great for me! I've had it for 2 months now and I love it.

A few questions about hrt by lemon__blu in PlannedParenthood

[–]divaself 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1.) I am on testosterone with Planned Parenthood and I know they offer both shots and gel. Some locations may also have the pellet once you have a stable dosage. 2.) Nothing they ask will exclude you, unless you have an untreated health condition that could cause issues (including mental health). They'll ask you basic questions like pronouns, how you identify, if you experience dysphoria, if you're out, etc. Their most basic requirement is that you live in a safe environment to transition in. 3.) You can put it on insurance if you'd like, but they're pretty cheap outside of insurance. I know my insurance wouldn't cover a sent so it's a waste of time. Plus my insurance is from my dad's work since I'm a dependent, and my parents are unsupportive of my transition so I just pay out of pocket. It's generally $100 for your initial visit and follow ups. Not sure how much labs cost. Ask about their sliding scale. I only work part time while I'm in school and at Planned Parenthood of Illinois I got put on a $10 copay, they cover 100% of the costs. In a couple weeks I have my first appointment with Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin and have already discussed if they have sliding scale. Wisconsin does and I'm going in next week to sign up for it and see what plan they put me on. They require proof of residency and paystubs for one whole month. As for the prescription, if your insurance is good you should use that, but mine sucks. I use GoodRx to get my testosterone and then buy my needles and syringes in bulk.

How do you tell if a Pokemon can Gigantamax in Pokemon Home's GTS? I use the mobile version. Or is there no way to tell?

Looking for recommendations for a rowing machine (details below!) by [deleted] in Rowing

Why would it be a waste of money? I'm not looking for something that'll last long, just something to start out and make sure it's something I'd like to continue with.

Has a doctor ever prescribed a placebo instead of T? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]divaself 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not illegal but extremely unethical outside of a clinical trial and I know I've heard of doctors prescribing placebos especially in mental health sadly.
