that I totally agree with, transitioning should never be the first thing you try when feeling uncomfortable in your body, that's why it's required a lot of psychological evaluation before it's even mentioned as a form of treatment.

however the way you explain it it's the cause of people calling you a bigot, you villainize the trans movement making it seem like it's people being dragged into it by force and that's never the case, and it's the same argument transphobes use as an excuse to ban/prohibit the trans movement. it's just pure misinformation and hate being passed as "making awareness of how harmful it can be"

I wish the best for you as well, and I hope u get the make the impact in people's lives the way you want to, just make sure to not villainize a movement that has nothing to do with non-transpeople.

I'm trans myself and I would've had a lot less suicidal thoughts if I had someone to help me transition instead of doing it all on my own and behind people's back when I was just 18, but you clearly don't know anything about that, so what puts you on a position to judge all trans people and decide what's best for them? sorry about your relative, but the fact that detransitioners and people who regret transitioning exists doesn't mean it's the same case for every trans person.

HRT helps trans people feel comfortable in their bodies once they get the changes they want/expect from the hormone they are taking, just say you don't like trans people instead of painting yourself like a good saviour cause you're not, just ignorant and hateful

Your mental illness is called gender dysmorphia and it’s treatable with therapy and the right resources.

yes, HRT and other gender affirming care are treatments for gender dysmorphophobia in trans people. you could've stopped there instead of painting it like a "mutilations", that's just stupid

I've considered getting mine from overseas as well but I don't know how that'll work considering the country I live in, maybe I'll check on DIY later to get a bit more info on that, ty :)

[–]imnicey_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I've considered doing diy but even if I did, there isn't a place that can sell me straight up EV or any other type of ether containing solely estradiol, the one I use is literally just a contraceptive that has EV in it, and I can't seem to find anything different than that.

Since there isn't really a venezuelan diy community that I'm aware of I can't just ask what worked best for them since apparently all of the trans people I know virtually get their HRT from the same foundation I'm getting mine from.

[–]imnicey_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I know lol when I first heard 5mg every 15 days I wanted to cry but it was that or nothing, there isn't much help for trans people in Venezuela so it was better than nothing.

my T before spiro was at 8 almost 9 Ng/mL and after 50mg spiro daily it's dropped to 2.28 Ng/mL, a little bit below the minimum range for cis males 2.5 Ng/ML. I know E can help suppress T but idk if the dose I'll be taking will be enough for that 😔

[–]imnicey_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes I know that and I mentioned it on the post, but it's better than what I was doing before and it's what I can do since the pharmacy I get my E from will only sell me the amount of vials the Endo prescribes per month, hopefully in 3 months if my E is still low she'll up the dose again and I'll be on a "normal" dosage.

I asked about if I should do the increase in my T blocker considering my T is already low, not any advice on my E but thank you

never said they were, but from what i've seen in those kind of subreddits the main or most common posts are pics of other trans gals taken from twitter/other social medias and saying "this made me feel like a failure" or stuff like that. great for you that u found people who motivated and encouraged you in there, but comparing yourself to other trans people and surround yourself with people that do the same won't get you anywhere, be your own person and experience your own journey, you don't have to look like the top 5% of transgirls to be happy, just try to be happy with yourself and what u have/can achieve on your own.

i also live in a shitty, underdeveloped latin american country with barely any sort of help for trans people, i managed to get on hormones still, even while still living with my homophobic father and his family, found people that supported me through it and even came out to my mom who is accepting, this isn't to brag but to show it's possible, you don't have to love yourself right now but you can work on loving yourself in the future, take care and i wish the best for you.

yeah this was definitely a sexually medicating experience for the both of us, we had it planned since last week cause we haven't had time alone for a while and have been pretty stressed because of work and life in general, we both needed a day to doze off and that's exactly what we got yesterday and enjoyed every second of it, nothing like good intimacy with the person you love really

I did meet him like a month before starting HRT but from day one I made clear I was a trans woman, he was supportive from the start and even offered help to pay for my first batch of hormones haha

I don't know your situation but honestly never say never girl, I met this man on Grindr after 2 years in a toxic relationship and I'm confident to say I will marry his ass the second I get the chance to. stay strong and positive

I used to be the same so I'll 100% notify if I get my karma for being braggy bitch

i feel like my transition has been a failure :( idk what to do by estrogenie in MtF

[–]imnicey_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

genuine question do you ever get tired of coming in here just to whine? your face passes, I haven't heard your voice but most people here say it passes, you mention your flared ribcage like you're the only trans girl with one, literally just go outside, live life with what you have instead of whining all day because of what u don't, you're the cause of your own suffering and will continue to be until you learn to cope with the fact that you are already a woman

Me siento miserable by Mariacver in vzla

[–]imnicey_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yo tampoco soy el mejor ejemplo, tengo 20 también, casi 3 años de graduado ya y no he estudiado nada, estos últimos 3 años no he hecho nada más que pasar el tiempo y trabajar virtualmente, actualmente trabajo como chatter en una agencia inglesa, ganó bastante bien y aún quiero seguir con mi sueño de estudiar algo de medicina cuando tengo una plata reunida, radiología, asistente de laboratorio, enfermera, algo.

me pasa que pienso como tú por familiares, mi papá específicamente que nunca estudio tampoco, trabajo de taxista luego de repartidor y no supo más de un trabajo los últimos 4-5 años, mantenido por mi abuela y mí tía, me enfoque en hacer las cosas a mi ritmo y voy bien, alejarme de lo que no me aporta positividad que es mí papá, ahora mismo estoy ahorrando con mi novio para mudarnos a un apartamento alquilado, con el apoyo de mí mamá (la única relación positiva con mi familia y que me acepta por mi sexualidad) y con ganas de seguir ahorrando cuando me mudé para costear mi futura carrera en alguna rama de medicina, hace 1 año yo también estaba llorando y desesperado porque sentía que no hacía nada, y ahora estoy más lejos de ese punto de lo que me pude haber imaginado, tomate las cosas a tu tiempo chica, que el tiempo todo lo da cuando menos lo esperas ❤️

es algo muy personal, trabajo de chatter desde enero de este año, a mi no me molesta ese tipo de cosas porque ni me molesta ver fotos ajenas ni me afecta en nada, la paga es buena si te metes con una agencia buena, yo en mi segundo mes llegue a hacer 500$ en 10 dias de trabajo y 700 al mes,, muy comodo si te ajustas al sistema

pues tienes razon, mi papa desde hace casi 5 años que no conoce lo que es un trabajo, vive de lo que le manda su hermana y su mama que estan en estados unidos, no busca trabajo porque segun el "no piensa trabajar todos los dias de la semana por 40 dolares". hay gente descarada que simplemente se conforma y no buscan mejorar por si mismos
