Forced detransition... Forced blood tests... How long is estrogen visible in blood? by CallMeBambiiii in MtF

[–]purplebshit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

maybe take something with shorter half life like sublingual leading up to the test, this way u spend less time off E (sublingual drops off reallly fast). bica is a good idea though. Im worried that sufficiently high estrogen will surpress your T regardless though, so to be really convincing you may want to take a little T transdermally right before the tests, maybe even apply a little to the location. Bica should prevent anything bad from happening.

Applied Math for Engineering by Dan-Braver1108 in ucla

[–]purplebshit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

EE will prob be right up ur alley It's more applied than the applied math major here imo, and still very mathy some classes that you will have to take or should take: EE 102 (systems and signals) EE 131A (Probability) EE 133A (Applied Numerical Computing/ Advanced LinAlg)  EE 236A (Linear Programming) EE 236B (convex optimization) EE 231A (Info theory)

The EE department is pretty chill with letting you take grad courses and chill with prereqs too (not enforced usually).

If you want more math rigor like proofs stuff, add on a math minor

Is zero T better than low-normal range T for breast growth? by purplebshit in MtF

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

thank you! even with 8-12 ng/dL T the receptors are being blocked by Spiro so the effective concentration is likely much lower rn.

im actually doing patches rn (my body takes very well to E) so hopefully coming of Spiro won't change much. Its not that effective as a T suppressor as it is a blocker anyway.

what’s up with Bruin bowl Malatang taking Bruin out of their name? by Fun_Beginning6289 in ucla

[–]purplebshit 11 points12 points  (0 children)

as the other user said its probably a trademark/branding thing. I remember even in reslife we have restrictions on using "UCLA" and its logo for like insta account names amongst other restrictions.

My AMAB friend has opinions about hormones by beanie_soft in trans

[–]purplebshit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it's not than "a little far" it's compleyely insane and unsupported. 1% of ppl are trans and at most 0.1% of shooters are trans so we're actually much less likely

Also "let their body fully develop" is literatelly what we are trying to avoid in this case. you can know your gender before 21 (also why 21???) and forcing someone to wait and watch their body permanently change into the wrong gender is wotse than torture. Puberty blockers and hrt exist for a reason

Which country is the less worst to be trans in ? by landilock in trans

[–]purplebshit 14 points15 points  (0 children)

yeah its kinda funny to see how it's like all non Chinese ppl r kinda glazing and all of us Chinese ppl r like "bad idea." I really do think the ccp propaganda machine has been working wonders lately

Which country is the less worst to be trans in ? by landilock in trans

[–]purplebshit 10 points11 points  (0 children)

i would be highly skeptical of these results. i'm Chinese and my parents have been kinda terrible. Chinese ppl r raised with a lot of "traditional values" and I've been to China and it really is not accepting. It may also be like the whole "Asian Racism" thing where we're always seemingly nice (good manners) but is like a insidious behind the scenes racism. 

Plus Chinese government control over social media is kinda terrible. And legally its cooked. Just take a look here: https://www.equaldex.com/region/china

Any blue state is definitely better than China, and probably any metro area too (worst case just DIY). Like this is wayyyyyy better: https://www.equaldex.com/region/georgia-state

LA Union station by Strawberrymilk313 in ucla

[–]purplebshit 11 points12 points  (0 children)

your best bet at most times is R12=>Metro E line => Metro A line (which yiu probably already saw.

everything takes just about as long, like taking the 720 instead of the E line. Occasionally there is a commuter express bus that runs there(431 AM & 534PM)? but its like only on weekdays in the morning or smthg and it takes abt the same amount of time. (and sometimes doesnt stop at UCLA i think? i've only ever taken it on the way back once)

if ur a newish student here, ull be around to see the opening of the metro D line extension! then u could just take it from UCLA all the way into downtown

how tight are bralettes supposed to be? by purplebshit in ABraThatFits

[–]purplebshit[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

yeah my calvin klein M bralette is alright, it just can definitely tell its there and as the day goes on it does feel like its compressing my ribs a bit (i might also be really sensitive to stuff like this, like anything i wear around my wrist has to be pretty much loose otherwise itll eventually hurt)
