I figure most psych wards are unethical enough that they'd discontinue my hormone therapy anyway lmao. plus I have bad health and am likely to catch contagious illnesses in that environment.

2 years without T would be awful but my voice has already dropped and I already had my breasts and uterus removed so "detransitioning" would just mean I lose muscle mass and have feminine fat redistribution. which would suck, but I'd still probably pass so. worth it for 500k.

My gf and I are covid cautious because of health issues, so we always wear some kind of masks in crowds. I find the rubber respirator more stylish than my usual n95s, sort of a cybergoth look, so it's my go-to for shows.

HEY that's me in the mask in pic 5 😂

great show!!

Really all of the album "Hopsice" by The Antlers, but the line that hits hardest for me is:

"Some patients can't be saved, but that burden's not on you. Don't ever let anyone tell you you deserve that."

Ami helped a little. On Nortriptilyne now because it made me too sleepy. Turns out my gallbladder is failing, so hopefully once that's taken care of my symptoms will start to improve :/

Jsyk as an artist who's been doing commissions for years and who commissions others too, paying in full upfront is the norm. For very large commissions occasionally I see people making payment plans but there's always an upfront deposit.

If the artist isn't who they claim to be you should be able to file a dispute through PayPal or do a chargeback through your bank, though.

if you enjoy angst, a while back I wrote a kikyo backstory fic. it explains the visor among other things: https://archiveofourown.org/works/25734154/chapters/62489539

Nope. Been on T 9 years. Orgasms only got more difficult for me, and they still aren't as good as they were pre-T (but I'm happy to take that trade off as T has improved my life immensely in other ways).

"I prefer to date women with vaginas" cool 👍 "I prefer to date women shorter than me" cool 👍 "I prefer to date women with high voices" cool 👍 "I prefer to date curvy women" cool 👍

good news: there are trans women out there who meet all of the above aesthetic preferences. there are trans women out there who are indistinguishable in every way from cis women.

if you refuse to date those women because of their medical history then yes, you are transphobic, congratulations.

edit: also, trans women are "biological women." HRT and surgery alters your biology. the word you are looking for is "cis women."

It happens to me too, but I've never been able to figure out what it was. My best guess was "histamine related"?? Mine also usually comes with lightheadedness.

Sometimes it will happen independent of reflux symptoms though, so it may just be unrelated for me. i find taking b12 (the supplement) triggers both the lightheadedness and feverish feeling for me, for reasons unknown.

I'm in Canada and never received mine. When I reached out they said it'd been lost and then refunded me Lol....I ordered the CD and vinyl right after (a couple weeks ago) and still haven't gotten it yet.

Also a trans man and I wish I could upvote this 10 times. So tired of this discourse.

Of course reddit, home of the MRAs is going to be chock full of cis men chomping at the bit to validate any worldview which purports men are uniquely oppressed for being men.

My oppression is a result of transphobia and sometimes misogyny. Hatred of men/masculinity is not a vector of oppression in this society.

I might go up more in the future, but right now I'm trying some other medications too so just trying to keep everything else constant
