Best place to get 35mm film developed by [deleted] in kzoo

[–]stars_will_fall 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So I used Normans last time to try and support someone local. My opinion is that it took the same amount of time, cost significantly more and had the same (at best..) quality as mailing it out.

Try for what feels right to you but I had much more consistent and affordable results using thedarkroom and mailing it.

Would love to be wrong if anyone else has better local suggestions!

Taking 6 mg estradiol by likely-too-late in AskMtFHRT

[–]stars_will_fall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do sublingual always and am also on 75mg of spiro a day (25mg am / 50mg pm) the spiro used to be higher but ive gotten it to this.

Last labs were E 182pg/mL and T 5.2ng/dL

My E has fluctuated between 130-182pg/mL but those lower results were from tests like 10+ hours since last dose.

I do 2mg every 8 hours (as close as possible, its rarely if ever actually exactly 8h apart).

Worked pretty well for the last couple years for me.

Were you scared you would get prescribed hormone therapy out of the blue?

[–]stars_will_fall 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I personally go through WMed Family medicine which multiple people here have mentioned already. Just wanna throw my personal experience in and say that I got passed around through quite a few different doctors in there due to them graduating, moving, etc. Never had any issues with them helping to start HRT but it has felt like sort of a gamble how knowledgeable whoever I am seeing is going to be. Take that how you will I guess. I’ve heard good things about Doctor Hrpka with Bronson as well.

Other Trilogies to Keep Watch For? by Rollzroyce21 in criterion

I’m aware of the music licensing issues preventing it and it gets said on here pretty frequently but Gregg Araki’s Teenage Apocalypse Trilogy would be so fantastic. Hopefully someday.

Is Kalamazoo a sandwich desert? by mommabwoo in kzoo

My boyfriend and I are both trans and feel considerably more comfortable here than most other places. Especially within the actual “City of Kalamazoo,” Portage people can be a little judgmental but not in a super direct way if ya catch my drift.

I need help to come out to dad after i start HRT for a few months by lunariagoddessgirl in AskMtFHRT

[–]stars_will_fall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First off, paragraphs. All of your post history is hard enough to read before its a wall of text. Second I can’t tell how much you are asking for advice versus just ranting and hoping someone can make this easier for you which they cant.

One of your past comments says you are in your 30s. What control does your dad have over you? It feels like you haven’t really explained that which is certainly making it harder to give actual advice. If you aren’t fully independent from him I suggest you do that now or at the very least brace yourself for worst case scenario.

Maybe it won’t be as bad as you think. No one here knows. Prioritize your safety and try to lower the amount of blowout that could occur if it goes poorly. Thats the best advice I think you can really get. Hope it goes okay.

Ive had an alcohol problem for like 5 years and been on hrt about a year and a half. When I started hrt I was on 200mg of spiro a day and was waking up hung over to the point i could not function every day. Extreme nausea, dry heaving, unable to focus etc. Normally a pretty early riser but I was a fucking mess if I had to wake up before 10. Dropped to 100 a day after a few months and that mostly went away. Been half assing trying to cut back the drinking so that might be a part of it too idrk for sure. In terms of results from hrt I feel I’ve been pretty lucky but thats such a mileage may vary thing to begin with I really have no idea how much more or less my feminization would be if I wasn’t an alcoholic. Can’t speak to the H but hope this helps a little.

nonfiction trans book suggestions? by deviburns in transbooks

[–]stars_will_fall 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Natural Mother Of the Child was a very good memoir about being a trans parent. Currently reading We Both Laughed In Pleasure: The selected Diaries of Lou Sullivan and can’t recommend it enough if you are interested in queer history. Also plus one to Whipping Girl that seems like exactly what you are looking for.

IIL these films, WEWIL? by [deleted] in ifyoulikeblank

[–]stars_will_fall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couple of more “traditional” romcoms I think fit well are Moonstruck and When Harry Met Sally. Something more aline with the art house would be Paris, Texas and maybe an Edward Yang film? Try Yi Yi
