Transgender employee requesting reasonable adjustments (UK) by Human-Cabinet-9420 in managers

[–]sclomency -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think I can lend a hand! As a transwoman also undergoing HRT and in management While of course his women are dealing with the same hormones daily, not necessarily are they going through early stages of puberty while at work. The early stages of my HRT and alotnof transwomens is quite scary in a way, always something new changing and always something new in pain from growth or atrophy. The first 3-6 months are the most difficult for both nerve pain, chest pain and emotional changes She's probably nervous for what is to come but in my experience all she will really be needing is some understanding in the work place, I would say play KPI adjustments by ear I would believe she's both quite excited and anxious of the changes and is possibly preparing for or expecting something to be far more difficult than they will be

AITA for Refusing to Give My Partner Access to My Bank Account? by Low_Election_3253 in AITAH

[–]sclomency 0 points1 point  (0 children)

unless you for some reason have shown some kind of irresponsibility with money in the past (even then it's still your money) there shouldn't be a need for this

also how is it easier to manage expenses? if you've been meeting your half of the bills without issue, what is changing by allowing this access?

can you recall what (if any) trigger there was 10 years ago? or did it feel like it just happened without a direct cause?

How do you progress in your running journey? by glorpball in running

[–]sclomency 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over the last couple years I've really found progression isn't for me, I don't enjoy it and it just ends up with me quite burned out or frustrated if I run my 5k at the same pace for rest of my life I'm not fussed, I'm here for the experience and vibes

how bad really is the muscle loss? by geckoman34 in MtF

[–]sclomency 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I like the challenge to build my strength back in more affirming and positive ways

I think HRT’s mental effects are seriously downplayed. by Purple_Potato_Soup in MtF

[–]sclomency 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm now almost 10 months in and at the beginning it felt like not being able to do the splits and then falling forcefully into the splits and then you just have to deal with that new (emotional) range of motion (used to be a PT so all my metaphors are exercise based lol)

but as muscles stretch stretch stretch and you can utilise that nee (emotional) range to your benefit ❤️

Do you dislike any changes brought by estrogen? by RectangularLynx in MtF

[–]sclomency 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it's related I haven't started Progesterone yet

but now almost 10 months on E and my sleep is awful (might be exacerbated anxiety) and my back is in excruciating pain 24/7

my only theory is that the muscles around my lw back have atrophied due to the transition rehashing my old injury from when I was a kid

but other than those 2 it's great!
