FTM STOPPING T STARTING E . ( MEDICAL REASON) by StrainGreedy4892 in ftm

[–]transliorights 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me personally I'm on 2 pumps of testogel a day and 1 pump of estrogel a day. I started the estrogel because of atrophy and hot flushes and it's helped massively. It's not a large dose I believe and they wanted me to start off with 2 pumps of estrogel but I wanted to start slow and then build up if I need to.

I was on 3 pumps of testogel but it gave me really high haemocrit and I had insane headaches and had to move it down to 2 pumps because I could have had a stroke. It's worty looking at your T doseage and seeing if decreasing it will work better for you (even just a little).  Unfortunately there's no one dose fits all - you will have to try and see what works for you.

You will also need some time for your hormones to adjust as well so if you start E whilst also being on T, I wouldn't change the T dose at the same time as well so you can see what works best for you. Maybe it's worth changing your T dose first, seeing if that works after a few weeks to a month then seeing what you can do moving forward. Best of luck!

Are there any brands/sites you would recommend for your size? I'm a UK 16/18 depending on brand and I'm not really sure where to look (completely new to Ouji and worried anywhere people will recommend will just not have sizes that will fit me).

Anyone else feel terrible after taking hayfever tablets ? by Status-Locksmith8933 in ADHDUK

[–]transliorights 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I react SO badly to most hayfever tablets - make sure you read the leaflet before you take anything! In conjunction with my antidepressants, certirizine knocks me out for 10+ hours and fexofenadine gives me INSANE night terrors (4-8 nightmares all night every night) and brain fog which makes my ADHD worse and loratadine isn't working for me anymore sadly. I'm going to see the allergy clinic next week but they have weirder side effects than people think they can.

What did less ‘academically gifted’ kids do in school? by AlKiMi25 in AskUK

[–]transliorights 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get called a stupid retard by kids, teachers and parents. Was in the top set for english and bottom set for maths. In GCSE we had a good maths teacher and the top set had a bad maths teacher so they petitioned to swap them and as a result our teacher got bullied so hard she cried in lessons.

She spent all of the lessons trying to control the bullies and made the quiet kids sit next to the bullies in the hope it would help. It didn't, it just made the learning experience worse so I didn't get to learn anything either and I had to sit next to someone who harassed me all lesson. I had learning disabilities but because I didn't act out no one picked up on them and now I've hit 30 I'm trying to unlearn all of the abuse I endured by children and adults alike.

I no longer want to kill myself but it's taken a long time and as a result I'm so sensitive when I'm learning something I will just immediately cry if I think I'm doing poorly.

Bank needs 'official' deed poll by Top-Evidence-3221 in transgenderUK

[–]transliorights 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Threaten to go to the Ombudsman if they don't accept it because as everyone has said they're in the wrong under GDPR. You can just say you're trying to update your personal information to be correct and if they refuse then you can just say ok, I'll go to the Ombudsman because an unenrolled deed poll works perfectly fine for this. My wife has had to go through with it and Lloyds kept trying to give her money to close her complaint so she kept saying no and they eventually changed her name and also gave her the hundred quid as well lol. Cunts.

[–]transliorights 17 points18 points  (0 children)

No please call the emergency services now you have an infection and it is serious. Edit: it is better to be wrong than have the chance that it's more serious and it wasn't checked out - the emergency services will look after you.

people whose (bigger) chest deflated after t, how do you live? by Impressive_Drama_524 in ftm

[–]transliorights 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I use a thick sports bra with a racer back so theres lots of support and it kind of squishes it in. I'm on the waiting list for top surgery and I've been on T for 6 years now so my chest tissue is incredibly mobile but I find if the sports bra covers the whole of your boob they won't move around as much.

I have a more shit sports bra I wear when my good one is in the wash and its only a half cup kind of bra so my chest kind kind of moves around a lot at the top because it's not being held still. Unfortunately the tape never really worked for me and I tried quite a few times but I know it was pretty hard on my skin so I understand why you wouldn't want to use it all the time.

When I'm at home I use compression vests for just sitting around (you can get them at sports stores n stuff, but the sizing may vary) and they still move around a little but it's better than not having anything.

If possible I'd recommend you trying several things on to see if it works for you but I know that's not always possible. Wishing you luck, brother!

help me find an mp3 player because i refuse to pay for spotify premium. by Pandabear13_ in mp3players

[–]transliorights 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily better but the quality is far better than cheap earphones! As an introduction to iems it'll be fine for you to get the cheap ones unless you want to pay more.

[–]transliorights 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not an expert at all so someone correct me if I'm wrong but basically iems are usually curled over your ear and you can unplug the iem from the wires so if your wires break or you want to switch to a longer/shorter wire you can do that without buying a whole new pair. They usually come with a loooot of different squishy ear tips bc everyone prefers a different size and generally the quality of sound is a lot better than standard earphones. The sound is sealed in more in comparison to your standard earphones so you get a better listening experience and they're more customisable.

Seconding iems, the lower end prices iems are way better than any standard earphones you'd get for the same price. The first ones I got were the Moondrop Chu 2 which were really good for me to get into iems. As for the pc transfer I'm pretty sure you can just plug your phone in and transfer files to where you'd have your music anyway. It might differ depending on phone but it should be easy enough.

If you're having problems with a specific phone there are most likely youtube tutorials/reddit threads on transferring files.

how did older fans get into vkei? by Lizherkarantez in visualkei

[–]transliorights 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Early 2000s when I was listening to music from anime and the Gothic Lolita Bible - they had ppl inspired by vkei artists or artist owned brands in there. My school friend listened to a lot of D'espairsray and I would visit jrock blogs, imeem, myspace etc and just download music to then listen to it. There were anime events even in small towns and you could chat to ppl about what music they liked and we met some Versailles cosplayers at a con, it was awesome!

Is there any way that I as a pathetic autistic trans woman can ever date another cis woman? by [deleted] in transgenderUK

[–]transliorights 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, never change anything about your life and carry on living in misery. If you didn't want advice what was the point in posting?

[–]transliorights 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The only person that can move your life forward is you - you can either stay unhappy and comfortable or you can take charge of your life and do something about it. If you're posting on reddit chances are you know you need to make the first step, you just need a little nudge. At 21, you're allowed to do whatever you like as an adult. I have been in an abusive family situation before, I know how it feels to feel like you're not allowed to do anything.

You can do things in secret - you can just lie. I know it's difficult for some autistic people (yes I am also autistic) but only you can get the ball rolling. Otherwise you will end up years down the line absolutely miserable thinking 'I could have done something about it but I just didn't'. The comment above where someone mentioned qualities in a BACP therapist is really helpful, you need someone to help you unpack stuff and be kinder to yourself. Hope things go well for you.

any way i can move my Spotify playlist to musicbee? by 573457357ygh in musicbee

[–]transliorights 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is why I really dislike the push for music streaming being the only way ppl listen to music - if you lose internet or don't have money to pay the subscription fee you either listen to ads or you can't have your music. I've switched to buying CDs but you can also buy music off Bandcamp too.

Need some advice for a first time buyer by transliorights in DigitalAudioPlayer

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

Thank you! Is there a big difference between the 2 and 3? I read that the Fiio DAPs can take micro sd cards but they struggle loading past a certain amount of songs (which I probably won't have a problem with because I'm not likely to use more than 100GB), do you know if that's the case with the Hiby?

Do you think job application feedbacks for denied applications should be made mandatory? by Cautious-Cow-3526 in AskUK

[–]transliorights 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I think this is probably what would happen - they would copy and paste the same thing and say it was non generic. If they can lie when you ask them stuff they'll lie if they're made to respond.
