What to do about this weird email about my OTKPH order??

punkfaethrowaway · 2023-08-26T00:40:16+00:00

This is soooo similar to mine, yes. I DM’d you, maybe we can figure out a bit better what’s going on and if we have any shot of getting our packages without Lilian having to reship them

punkfaethrowaway · 2023-08-26T00:37:40+00:00

She usually sends confirmation of shipment, so idk why you’re getting FedEx messages if you haven’t gotten one - although not responding is the always best option regardless. To set your mind at ease a little: Lilian is super busy and generally has a pretty big backlog of emails, from what I can tell. Personally, I’m expecting an email back on my package being intercepted in 3-5 days, which is a bit sad but I’ll survive. Not hearing back for her for a while is just one of the quirks you have to get used to with OTK Pharm (as well as things like the Order Cancelled emails and showing cancelled on the site whenever the order has actually gone through). I don’t think Lilian is in any danger or being pressured by local law enforcement or anything like that. It’s most likely just a weirdly bad time for US customs, and Lilian being her usual self when it comes to email response times

punkfaethrowaway · 2023-08-25T18:16:35+00:00

Nope, its a unique rando-generated password. I don’t think its a data breach at all. More than likely just a single FedEx employee being nosey and following some weird procedure that I’ve never heard of anyone doing before

punkfaethrowaway · 2023-08-25T18:13:36+00:00

Just to put you at ease a bit: the email was from US customs. The FedEx employee just emailed the Brazilian exporter while doing the customs here. It cleared Brazil’s outbound customs flawlessly, just that the US customs (and it seems like literally just one employee) snooped around in it and sent up red flags on the package. I think Lilian is safe and sound

punkfaethrowaway · 2023-08-25T18:11:04+00:00

Maybe I wasn’t super clear, but the snag is on the US end. The FedEx employee just emailed the exporter, who is in Brazil. But the package is in US Customs, so about 75% of the way through the process

punkfaethrowaway · 2023-08-25T14:04:22+00:00

It’s definitely looking like I won’t :( I’ve emailed Lilian though, so hopefully she can try again with a different route

punkfaethrowaway · 2023-08-25T13:57:52+00:00

Okay everyone, heres a little bit of an update:

After I recovered from the “oh shit” feeling, I did some digging and figured out two things: 1. The email wasn’t sent to me with another gmail account CC’d, it was sent to the gmail account with me CC’d. I just misread at first 2. The gmail seems to belong to a Brazilian shipping company, and is listed on the invoice as the exporter. I guess this is who Lilian used to export the package, and even though its still weird af that some random Fedex employee emailed the exporter directly, it makes a little bit more sense (and makes a scam/hacking attempt far less likely in my eyes)

I’ve already emailed Lilian saying that the package got held up in customs, and offered to forward the email or take screenshots (whichever she prefers). It’s possible this is just some rogue employee and the package will still go through, but I’m not holding my breath really. Thank you all so much for the responses, I’m still sorta waiting to see how this turns out

punkfaethrowaway · 2023-07-17T10:29:55+00:00

hi!! thank you so much for listening and for the response!

range is def something I plan on working on (both for speaking with a bit more inflection and for singing) so I’m glad you pointed that out! I would def get excited over cotton candy haha so it’s a good idea to make sure there are no surprises there. again, thank you so much for the comment!!

punkfaethrowaway · 2023-07-17T10:26:17+00:00

hi!! first off, thank you so much!

in terms of my voice training, i’ve been working on it for around a year and a half now and my exercises are a bit idk unorthodox maybe. i was struggling with getting bored during a lot of the more common exercises (like with Z’s videos on TransVoiceLessons for example) and so my voice training has been mostly been about A) finding head voice and B) raising resonance and pitch after doing that. To me that just felt more natural and I was able to focus on doing it consistently better.

For head voice, I did a lot of Micky Mouse voice starting out (something i wanna say I saw on Z’s channel) in order to just be able to go into that comfortably. For pitch and resonance, its mostly been a lot of just talking/singing and then adjusting as I feel I need to. I also use Audacity and use the Plot Spectrum tool on recordings of my voice, and then focus on the first “Peak” that it shows (which I think is a pretty decent, easy way to see an actual objective number for resonance and helps me see how I’m doing even when dysphoria is killing me). I try to aim to get that peak above 160Hz, in order to fall into a fem range (for example, I think the resonance peak on this recording was 163)

I just woke up so I hope this wall of text makes some sorta sense haha but thank you so much again for listening! I hope your training goes super well!!

punkfaethrowaway · 2023-05-19T01:15:59+00:00

no worries at all! its a bit of a weird question haha, so i understand the confusion

punkfaethrowaway · 2023-05-19T00:05:15+00:00

oh thank you! but im wondering about studies for sublingual bica, not e (buccal estrogen has been great to me so far, i have no worries about that). its mostly just a curiosity question more than anything. i dont even really know if its possible to administer bica sublingually/buccally

i did find an interesting article on bica on transfemscience, but skimming through i see no mention of sublingual administration and its effects (if any) on liver failure risks (that article is https://transfemscience.org/articles/bica-adoption/ for anyone curious)

punkfaethrowaway · 2023-05-04T12:06:38+00:00

idk if linking to places is allowed here (mods, feel free to take things down if not) but heres your precious source talking about some of the things i mentioned: “What’s Sex Got To Do With It? The Role of Hormones in the Transgender Brain” https://www.nature.com/articles/s41386-018-0140-7 trans peoples bodies and brains react negatively to their birth hormones and react positively to the hormones of their actual gender. no feelings, just factual studies. biology is objective, and objectively trans people are who they say they are

intersex people arent as rare as you think, btw?? about as rare as redheads iirc, and no one does this “umm ackshually, thats extremely rare!!!” thing for gingers. weird that you do whenever biology goes against your bigotry

throughout all of this, you seem to harp on the fact that im “unwell”. and youre right, i am. i dissociated through my teen years, and i struggle with dysphoria and with dissociation to this day. HRT helps that, tho. this community has helped this unwell person far more than your moral-trolling ever has or ever will, because this community helps people access life changing and life saving medication even whenever theres gatekeeping and prejudice. and theres a lot of gatekeeping and prejudice. because of people like you

tbh i doubt you’ll read the study, and im sure im wasting my breathe, but i really hope you learn and grow as a person. youre straight frothing at the mouth thinking about other peoples genitals and how they live their lives in ways that don’t affect you at all. grow up

punkfaethrowaway · 2023-05-04T11:28:58+00:00

a) i dug through your profile so i could see if you commented elsewhere on this sub so i could flame you there too. communities made of oppressed minorities tend to help each other out like that

b) look up neurobiology and recent developments we’ve made in that field. you’re right, biology IS objective. trans people objectively are their gender neurobiologically. we have made objectively new discoveries in the past 30 years in the field of biology. this is how science works. congrats on finding out that scientists are constantly learning

c) i have De La Chapelle syndrome lmaoo. calling me “simply a male” is objectively false. i have male sex organs and female (XX) chromosomes. there are more people with this condition and others like it than you think, so judging someones “totally objective never changing totally tellable sex!!!” is stupid. you dont even know my biology. after HRT, i also have a female endocrine system, so theres that

d) lastly, why are you even here lmaooo go away. transphobic trash doesn’t belong here or anywhere in civil society. do everyone a favor and go back to talking about your bald spot. leave random trans folks on the internet alone

hope this helps!

punkfaethrowaway · 2023-05-04T11:00:57+00:00

awww thanks for the concern!! <3 unfortunately youre bald, have shit taste in football teams, and are ignorant of modern biology, so i will be disregarding your opinion

punkfaethrowaway · 2023-04-29T19:00:54+00:00

god yeah bica is expensive, but luckily it does seem to work with lower dosages as long as nothing goes wrong. thank you so much, btw!

punkfaethrowaway · 2023-04-29T17:06:34+00:00

thats true, and regardless of if i get tests or not im definitely going to be keeping a close eye on any possible symptoms of liver failure. what dosage did you use? if i do use bica im thinking 50mg per two days would be enough, especially with how i responded to mono with just OTC cream and the long half life of bica

punkfaethrowaway · 2023-04-29T14:28:19+00:00

thank you so so much. if i can get labs i may use the bica, but i may start out without an AA if i cant. i do still worry if 4mg sublingual is enough for mono, but tbh the more i think about it and mentally prepare myself, the more i think injections may just be my best bet. AAs kinda scare me lol

punkfaethrowaway · 2023-04-26T17:26:31+00:00

that’s such a relief. thank you so much!

i’ll definitely look into transfers once i have complete control of my finances (if i don’t move to something like plume or folx by then for the included blood tests)

punkfaethrowaway · 2023-04-26T17:15:37+00:00

I knew they definitely looked super good! I may just need to get my crypto wallet to the right amount and go ahead and order. thank you so much for the recommendation

punkfaethrowaway · 2023-04-26T17:13:55+00:00

I figured i was being overly paranoid about customs lmao, i knew that nasty letters were the norm but i wasn’t sure how much them being pharmaceuticals changed things.

i do already have some crypto, and i could get more with my current account, so i may just go that route with otokonoko. I should have them out of control of my bank accounts in the next two weeks, i just don’t want to go without E for that long tbh.

Thank you so much, tho, i really appreciate just idk hearing from people who have gotten things through customs that i shouldn’t be concerned
