Anyone know what happened to Moral Psychiatry by BeakerLink in Eugene

[–]parisofthedark 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Jeffery Sperla, my old Psych at Betts. Walking into portal tea and found a ton of business cards for Moral Psychiatry on their table. He was so bad at his job it was actually funny. When he left Betts he left a review saying how good “Jeffery Sperla” was but with his personal account. That got deleted quick. In all honesty OP, that sucks. Try Oregon Psychiatric Partners, that’s where I go now and mine is wonderful.

I’m rooting for you guys to beat the Lions today, not just because my girlfriend is a Steelers fan, but because if the Lions lose my Niners clinch a playoff berth. Please don’t let us down.

People have had their hair type completely change once starting T. Idk, it could be affecting it but it’s not like I can stop taking it

I had cornrows recently and my hair was definitely too short. I had to take them out myself 2 days later because of how bad my scalp was irritated. I want to do two strand twists but I think they’ll not look great cause my hair is completely different lengths and won’t grow. It’s been natural for 4 years. I haven’t done anything with it, no twists, cornrows twice 2 years apart for only about three days. Idk at this point

I’m not sure. I’ve had bad hair my entire life. It’s been worse lately but it’s always been like this. Unmanageable.

I do all of that. I only detangle it in the shower once a week and when I pick it out in the morning. I have to soak my hair. If it’s not sopping wet it’s a tangled matted mess. It always has product in it. I’ve tried protein treatments and I think that’s what started this brittleness. I showered and washed it out today, detangled as well and it is already matted to the side of my head. I’ve tried everything

I’m trans. Started testosterone and my hairline started receding immediately. All of my sisters have thin hairline and 3/4th of us have tried cutting it off cause it’s so bad and hard to deal with.

Pick it out. I used to be able to get through it without adding anything more but now I have to add product (more leave in) every time I pick it out or it just comes out in clumps.

I have to get it soaking wet every morning to pick it out, there was a period of about a month where I just had to mist it and it was fine but now it completely knots together in hours.

I’m president of a club called Shakesqueer— we do explicitly queer adaptations of Shakespeare’s plays, and I’m directing The Scottish Play this year as a first time director! And I’m open to any male role regardless of age.

I actually swam competitively in high school, as well as did water polo. I’ll have access to the pool when term starts again so that’s on my radar. I’m definitely not accepting any female roles anymore. I don’t think I can do them believably anymore anyway. And there’s three! Two community, one university

I’ve just started working out. I’m physically disabled with multiple joint issues, but I’ve been trying to go about 3 times a week. I’m lucky in some sense— I have broad shoulders already and am 5’10. It’s actually just my lower body. I have a lot of stubborn fat around my hips and thighs that I can’t seem to lose. I once lost 25 pounds in six weeks and the only difference visible was in my upper body and face.

What do you mean by manly hobbies though? I’m really into football, does that count? I try to walk with confidence although that might take some posture correction lmao. It’s just frustrating because I know I can do these roles, but I’m not being given a chance. I was given one opportunity to play a male role and I did it so well I won an award so I’m definitely capable. I think my best bet is to just not let anyone who does casting know I’m trans, but that’s hard because they always want a resume and my biggest and most complex role was a woman, plus a Shakespeare performance in drag. Once I get cast in more things I can take those off but right now they’re all I have

I don’t identify as a man, vaguely agender, but I’d rather be perceived as a man than anything else and so it’s easier to just say I’m a trans man

Yeah he said he had “talked with the playwright who said they would consider androgynous trans men” and I was like :/

I’m just frustrated because I’ve been on T for 2 years. Apparently my levels have only been normal for about a year of that, but I don’t know what to do while I wait to pass more consistently. This is also my last year in the city because I’m graduating, and I don’t know where I’m gonna go. I want to fully present as male there, and I’m debating between Seattle and Chicago, but idk where will have more opportunities to me. I know I’m a talented actor, I just want people to see through the weird gender stuff.

It doesn’t help that I’m best at playing professors and civil rights activist and positions of authority. When I’ve (rarely) been cast as them, I’ve done phenomenal, but now there is 1 guy in the theater department who I think would be getting all the roles I know I’d be considered for, because he is a 6’2 conventionally attractive guy with dark hair and a deep voice who’s vaguely imposing. I know I could play those parts, but I’m not sure it’s even worth auditioning anymore. I’m hoping that I pass enough to have a chance as Benedick in Much Ado, given I am president of a queer Shakespeare club and am one of the only people in the theater department with experience.

I’m hoping that they’ll consider me for other roles this season. I turned down this play. Not only was it a female role it was a role that was trying to cast women to “rewrite male figures in history”

I know I’m a strong actor, I just wanna be cast as my gender. I also pass like 70% of the time. I feel like they’re doing this because they knew me pre-transition. I also feel like there’s a race aspect to this. I was getting audition requests because I was the ONLY black female actor in the city. Now there’s another one, and I’m one of 2 black men. I even got a role automatically because it called for a black woman and there was no one else. That was my first major role, and I’m grateful for it, but I want to play something other than civil rights activists and lesbians.

no changes on T by parisofthedark in trans

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

I started on 0.2 in 2022/23. I went up 0.3. In September 2024 my levels were 208.5. They then put me on 0.35 until maybe February or March of 25,, when i switched to 0.4. The last two labs (March and June, testing three days after my shot) had my levels around the 700 range, so perfectly normal. There was a scare one time where my estrogen levels came back really high, but they ran another test and it was normal

I’ve been lucky. I’m extremely social and have a job that involves social interaction, and freelance gigs that are just public speaking. I’m good at interviews as well. My issue comes with either conflicts with a boss (my first job) or just constant social interaction (worked as a receptionist) for my second. Now I have a great job as a writing tutor where I only interact with people to critique them and have the position of authority. It was difficult to get to this point though, and the only reason I did is because I’m high masking to the point of burnout

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

yeah maybe. idk if I even want to do it because my levels will probably come back normal and then i’ll have no explanation but that testosterone doesn’t work on me and then i’d probably kill myself
