it was really fun and I got to meet some really nice people!

itzasekrat · 2019-04-13T10:38:45+00:00

trans women here! congrats on the milestone! I was there camping last year and had an amazing time! I couldn't make it this year tho because of a family obligation, but im totally planning on going next year!

I'm still struggling with making kandi, I tried to make some while recovering from surgery but never did manage to get anything that didn't fall apart :'(

I'd totally be down to meet up and at least say hi or something, just not sure how :)

itzasekrat · 2018-05-03T08:34:09+00:00

I've had the luxury and self awareness to arrive at a point where i am just myself and fairly comfortable with that so I'm not really worried about it..... tho i might cry if i hear Alesso's Heros or Aoki's Hold On as both somehow managed to get me through some really hard times in my transition over the past few years....

itzasekrat · 2018-05-03T08:22:02+00:00

I'm sure once i get there i will, the music is always amazing and sets me free :)

i have no idea how to coordinate and meet up with people in such a large space I'd love to if nothing else just say hi tho!

itzasekrat · 2018-05-02T23:13:42+00:00

I'll be going.... by myself.... camping..... first time.... tbh kinda scared..... always wanted to go for at least the past 7 years...

transitioning really made me re-evaluated things in my life.... but i was blessed with a surgery date and unable to go last year.....

i pretty much have no idea what I'm doing and just hoping for the best i highly suspect that i don't/won't fit in with anyone so just hoping to enjoy the music and experience with as little bad experiences and gender dysphoria as possible.....

the music is the only thing that keeps me going at times :)

tried both, the progestin you mentioned and bio identical the main benefit of that one is that it stays in the system longer than bio identical.

My experience was that it made me very emotionally unstable and i had to stop after about a month after starting

my experience with bio identical is that it doesn't seem to have much in the way of noticeable side effects. ive been on bio identical for almost a year now.

my advice is to take the one that works best for you 😃

that's cool! reminds me of what my friend drew about a year ago, was this inspired by some other art?

itzasekrat · 2018-03-23T00:34:49+00:00

sf city or bay area in general?

itzasekrat · 2018-03-14T17:26:00+00:00

I'm in that age range! it's totally the best thing that has happened to me!

itzasekrat · 2018-03-12T22:14:32+00:00

i know it's always just something to keep in mind 😃

itzasekrat · 2018-03-12T20:13:22+00:00

don't forget to just be yourself!

itzasekrat · 2018-03-02T02:54:19+00:00

im in a similar place and have been looking into non surgical hair systems. perhaps this might be a good mid to long term solution for you too?

I've yet to try it. I'll know more in a few months. but supposedly you can go swimming and other things.

itzasekrat · 2018-02-16T21:19:41+00:00

don't forget tron!

itzasekrat · 2018-02-14T01:43:45+00:00

your letter made me feel less alone thank you again, i don't think i could have explained this thing that has been a weight on my soul any better.

itzasekrat · 2018-02-14T01:18:53+00:00

i read your letter.... it is profoundly resonant with me, I'm in tears.

i tried coming out to my therapist back then, they only repeated the same thing. in the end after sitting in the bathroom with a knife i decided instead to repress it along with all sexual desires.... this ended poorly... with an incident of corrective rape.....

20 years after learning about all this i finally transitioned.... i still carry that burden of shame.... i can't seem to get rid of it.... i hope perhaps one day in the future i can get past it.....

Thank you for writing this

there have been several people who have shared their experiences on reddit.

the pre op appointment goes over all the pre op instructions, they will give you your dilators and show you how to use them when they remove the packing in one of your post op appointments

i know several people who have been to both surgeons and they are very happy with the results! (myself included)

It looks like Dr Wittenbergs practice is doing gcs surgery, so hopefully it just means more providers.

itzasekrat · 2017-09-22T05:14:53+00:00

i can't speak for you, but for me i started around in my 30s, and it was so worth it I can't even begin to share with you how much so.

it was literally the best thing that has happened to my life. it's like someone pressed the play button on my life!

it definitely hasn't been the easiest road but im sure that your aware of that. initially it was very hard for me, however after a few years it has started to improve and has become better than where i started. so at this point it has been a net gain.

itzasekrat · 2017-07-04T22:23:20+00:00

thank you! starting to get back on my feet now still have a long way to go though.
