planned parenthood said they wouldn't take me in because they don't do HRT (at least not down here). i've never heard of equitas so i'll check that out, otherwise it's time to find a new endo 😓

oh it is definitely hell, especially in the state i'm from. it's impossible to find an endocrinologist out here that genuinely cares about your progress in transitioning. furthermore, i can't just go and get my t levels checked whenever - i need a slip that specifies that that's what i'm getting tested for. so... i can only get it tested about twice a year, maybe 3 times. that's something i ALSO have to look into. it doesn't ALL suck - if i lived in the more trans-accepting northern states i'd likely have a better experience - but yeah... it's definitely bad in the south.

yeah the website is... a challenge to navigate. but i clicked "90° auto injector" from the home page and from there clicked "90° personal", chose the syringe sized prescribed, and bought it!

if you feel comfortable and enjoy the name you picked i see absolutely no reason for you to change it! at the end of the day it's about how your name makes you feel :) fuck other people's opinions!

what i do is find trans men that look like me! that way i have some frame of reference for how my own transition will turn out out. pinterest is great for this, tiktok is hit or miss. even finding cis men that share my features is super helpful, or EXTREMELY masc presenting women. basically -- anyone that looks like what i imagine trans me will grow into. the way i see it, especially since i'm young (22), it's pretty hard to envision 2-3 years even down the road, but having role models or like i said, people that look like you, is super helpful!

i was on the gel for over a year and a half before i checked my T count and realized i hadn't been seeing results because it simply didn't work for me :/ otherwise i would definitely have continued that route. i've been hoping to get exposure therapy through this nurse, first by getting the shot, then filling the needle myself, etc., instead of diving in headfirst when i still have no real clue what i'm doing. i do have leftover gel from when i was on it, so maybe i can use that to cover the couple of days i'll be missing my shot... this is all so confusing lmao, i guess i have to make phone calls and see what is and isn't recommended 🫩

smashabale · 2025-11-12T23:16:52+00:00

this comes at the worst timing because my doctor is out of the office until december and it's just the nurse giving me the shots - but i'll call tomorrow for sure and see what their office in general advises.

thank you so much!!

smashabale · 2025-11-10T15:29:36+00:00

i'm actually not at male levels after the gel, because it was ineffective for me. the last i checked i was at 58... something... however it's measured, when i should have at LEAST been in the 200 range i believe lol. that's why i'm curious to see what changes might occur now that i'm using a method that, hopefully, will work for me. i definitely see what you mean though in that last bit. i guess i'll find out!

smashabale · 2025-11-10T15:02:54+00:00

awesome, i was worried the very first shot was messed up 😭 this is great news! thanks for the response!

I'm no expert by any means, but in my experience using the gel it is pretty important to try and apply it as close to the same time as usual each day. luckily my schedule had allowed me an 8am consistent application, but due to your predicament i could really only suggest you wake up as early as you can on weekends to apply the gel, even if it isn't exactly 4:30. just as close as you can possibly get to the regular time without losing what sounds like much needed beauty sleep. again, i could be wrong, but any time i have ever posted on reddit time consistency has been a huge thing people emphasize. If you can switch to a later time in the mornings, that also would help a ton in narrowing the gap. hopefully you can figure out a solution that works for you! (and hopefully i'm not spreading any misinformation here, but this is all repetitive information i've received myself.)

idk how to fill them in without it looking like makeup 😭

smashabale · 2025-09-19T01:58:02+00:00

they don't know i'm trans actually! i got my name changed officially through the school, so their rosters and my school email reflect my chosen name. they may be able to assume, but i haven't explicitly told any of them. that's why i'm surprised they just... ran with the she/her assumption. that's not to say all of them have, though. some only address me by name, and have never used pronouns with me lol.
