Anyone used medroxyprogesterone acetate know if it can be used as an AA on it's own and it's effectiveness?
I found this extract which leads me to believe it's a effective and convenient choice for AA given that it only has to be taken once every 12 weeks IM'd and inhibits LH and therefore test but if anyone has first hand experience using it then pls let me know how it was.

>>6100889
>does the whole transition thing arouse you ?
No. It scares me while being exciting at the same time.
>would you be happy as alpha?
I don't know. I don't really want to be one though since it would require me to be a completely different person, and I'm pretty okay with most parts of my personality. I don't really get jealous of good looking men like I do good looking women though.
>dysphoric ?
That's such a broad term though. I guess what's really tripping me up is whether or not I actually have dysphoria or if I just feel like being in a woman's body would make my self-loathing for my body/face better becauase I don't know what else could be causing that at this point. I haven't liked my body in forever, but I never really imagined myself as a woman until fairly recently, though it does feel pretty comforting to do so, for whatever reason. But it seems like I can manage my dislike for my body until I see really cute women or a lesbian couple. The latter part of that sentence is another of the main reasons I doubt all this.
>>
>>6100923
I would definitely talk to a therapist before asking here. The responses you'll likely get are "You are an AGP hon kill urself now :^)" or "You are definitely trans get on HRT NOW before you become a hon :^)"

By the way, women have AGP, it's been proven

I seriously doubt they're thinking "God, being a woman is so hot" like an AGP male would. Enjoying being sexual in a feminine way isn't the same as sexualising being feminine for its own sake, though when you're female it's admittedly hard to distinguish them.
>>
>>6102414
brain scans
that simple
but even if you wanna consider it a mental illness, transitioning is still the best working treatment/cure we got so far
>>
>>6102414
Technically transsexualism isn't the problem, but the gender dysphoria that accompanies it. If you fix the things that agitate the gender dysphoria (body, other people's perception of the sufferer's gender/sex) then it goes away despite the transsexualism itself not being treated at all.

There's also a pressure for political correctness.

Is HRT known to reverse male pattern baldness in trans women?
>>
>>6102179
Kek, if they lived in my state I would totally do that.

It will stop male pattern baldness from continuing, but you'd need something like rogaine or finasteride to have any hope of reversing it. The last resort is hairline surgery.

Is it okay to come out to a parent over texts? I'm too nervous to talk about it face to face
>>
>>6104564
Planned and written correspondence is actually often a better option than the immediacy of verbal communication (where emotions often get high and people may say things that are difficult to swallow back down).
I think email (or even a letter?) may be better than text messages, because email is a bit slower and better suited for longer writing. But you know your parent and how you communicate better than I do.

Fingers crossed, anon!
>>
>>6106046
My biggest roadblock is that I'm afraid they'll be super worried and stuff about me. I'm not too worried about being disowned since my parents are huge Berniefags and all that, but I'm still hesitant.

But they also have connections and know a few trannies so that might mean I can talk to people that aren't classmates that are probably just confused college girls that claim to be ftm.

That's basically me. Been on HRT a couple weeks now. But even if I'm 95% sure that this is a good direction for me, there's still all those nagging doubts. Been feeling them less since starting on mones, but it's still too early to really tell I think.

Hello, id like some of ur opinions about my current situation.
>I started diy hrt from cypro 6 days ago, 25mg/day.
>was misinformed that trans ppl cant freeze their sperm in my country.
>was cool with it, just wanted to start hrt faster
>yesterday morning woke up scared like shit that i missed this oportunity to ever have kids
>do more research, anyone can freeze after all
>dont wanna quit hrt...was about to start E tomorrow...

Do i really have to quit hrt in order to freeze it? Im pretty sure i was quite fertile and my T levels 1 week ago were quite high - 875ng/dl.
After this one week of cypro it should be around ~700 i guess? Which is still in higher male range so maybe i can get a pretty good shot w/o quitting it?? What do you think?
>>
>>6108202
you're never gonna have kids anyway
>>
>>6108202
>6 days ago
Stop being a wuss and quit the HRT. Wait a week or two and freeze your sperm. I understand it feels like a step back, but nothing will happen in these 15 days.
>>
>>6108258
So a week or two will probably be enough waiting?

I've been masturbating a couple of times a week since starting HRT to avoid atrophy but gradually it's been hurting more and more when I get hard to the point where I haven't done it for weeks. Idc about dick shrinkage and I don't really wanna use it but when I'm getting fucked in the ass it gets hard involuntarily and hurts so much I can't get off. My pain tolerance is much lower than average so I guess it's not as big of a deal for most mtfs. What pain medication or w/e would you recommend, how do I solve this?
>>
I'll never pass, but people say that even if you can't you should transition anyways. What's the point of being a freak nobody really respects? Is killing myself because of dysphoria really worse than killing myself because I'm an abominable chimera of masculine and feminine traits?
>>
>>6112829
you're really projecting you own internalized feelings rn. a lot of people will respect you (though most of them wouldn ever get on this board). and you don't know if you'll pass.
what matters is feeling comfortable with yourself when you're alone. if you can love yourself then you'll find other people who can love you too. you deserve to be happy and comfortable, and if you aren't right now then something needs to change.
>>
>>6112863
People will tolerate me because they're told they should. Sure it's something but it's really not much. I definitely can't pass until cosmetic surgery gets to the point where we can replace a full skeletal structure; They might be able to fix my face but they can't fix 6'4" with 20" shoulders.
I guess any step in the right direction is good for my personal positivity, but I'm worried that having my glaring problems shoved in my face by the disparity with what HRT and surgery fixed would just make things worse...

are these any use for facial hair removal?

>fucking love nail polish
>buy some and paint that shit on my nails

The idea of nail polish excites me but for whatever reason I don't like it on myself. It's not like I did a poor job of painting my nails or picked a wrong color, though. And I really do like my hands and nails otherwise. I guess nail polish isn't for me? Maybe there's other things about being a girl that I won't actually like if I try it? This makes me worried.

sorry to be so persistent but can you be more specific? like, how many treatments have you done so far, and how much reduction of facial hair has it yielded? what skin type are you?

I think about suicide everyday but wont tell anyone who knows me.

I work full time and have a son and partner in another town.

The mother who i board with acted trans friendly but is always hiding me or saying how she doesnt want to be embarrased by me. I feel like everyone just pretends to be tolerant and would be happier without me.

I feel like society is in this awkward stage of acceptance and hate which could go either way. I feel like i will never be happy, safe and accepted by the public.

Wherever i go im asked if im a man or woman and its all anyone wants to talk about except at work.

I feel like my body is a disgusting mess thats only going to get worse with age and wear. I feel like i will never have enough money to address these problems.

Death is seeming like the best option more everyday

That is the truth.
Every one thinks that you are a freak. A monster.
You should end it now.
>>
>>6116092
Yes, and you'll inmediately lose the hair if you stop buying it. A small dose of over the counter AA would be better, something like Fenasteride. You can cut it out for weeks without severe results and it will make you a bit more feminine in some other regards (longer eyelashes, some fat redistribution, less hair in other places; but much less than if you actually took HRT of course)
>>

How many anons like men? I waited until I was 24 to start addressing my desire to be a woman, but I only like women. This makes my situation awkward. Idk how much I hate different parts of my body. I know I've always felt female and wanted to be and act female but the very real risk of permanently ruining my endocrine system, etc. Is scary.

I look young, but not like I used to :( my stupid beard grows more everyday.

Idk what I should I do. I am at minimum transgender I don't know I want to trans hormones :/

Idk what questions to ask myself other than 'do I want this' and the answer seems like a yes. But idk how far I can chase magic dragons.

Does anyone that has done the research on Cypro vs Spiro have a link to studies on whether one is superior or how they might impact breast development differently? Also if anyone has a link to a study on injecting estradiol vs taking it normally vs taking it sublingually, that would be great. I keep hearing Cypro > Spiro and Shots > Sub > Oral, but I don't know how true those things are, and I'd rather not go through the trouble of switching without some evidence. So if someone has a link on-hand so I don't have to fish for the studies myself, it would be appreciated.

I wish I knew that's the crisis. I really don't know. I know I've been laying on the floor for literally 3 years now avoiding life every way I possibly can acting like a junky.

I just don't know. I listen to the rapper Eyedea a lot. It might be a projection, but he seems like a Trans kid to me and he never made it past 28. Robin Williams is another suspect. I don't want my whole life to unravel because my soul is in the wrong body, but I don't want to ruin my body trying to make it reflect something it can't and never could have.

I just hate myself for literally no logical reasons and all signs, ALL SIGNS, even back as young as 4 point and scream "chick".

Idk. I'm just so empty and lost I never grew up with "trans" as an option. It was only "dead faggot" or "beta straight boy" and i fit neither. I feel into beta male but only because I couldn't interact with this reality anymore as a dude. I just got nervous and sad and confused and started hurting myself more and more.

Now, my curse is lifted, and 10 years later I'm even worse than if I hadn't hid my shame (thanks religious family who still demands my love - and I'm not financially stable yet on my own fml).

I need to talk to some IRL trans women but thus far they're all insufferable fucking cunts who I want to kill like Hitler. The one okay woman I met was hideously manlike and only liked men :(

I'm a small lesbian in my dreams.
>>
>>6125852
>avoiding life every way I possibly can
That's kinda me too. The only times I'm really ok going out and doing stuff when I'm with friends because it gets me out of my head. The rest of the time I feel like there's something grotesque or wrong with me and that everyone should be staring at me. So instead I hide away in my room like I've been doing since I was around 12 not doing things that I know I would like doing because going outside is too damn uncomfortable alone.

I dunno dude. I'd talk it out with you if I could 'cause we have some things in common, like liking women or finding a lot of trans people annoying or w/e. If you wanna chat with someone who's still not really sure and just starting on hormones because "fuck it," you could send me an email at [email protected].

I think ultimately I decided I'd rather take hormones and risk possibly being wrong about why I hate my body and fucking myself up than continue wasting my life sitting in my room hiding away from the world confused as to why I can't stand the sight of myself. Sorry I can't be of much help. It's hard when you still doubt yourself.
>>
>>6125930
Yeah, I was seeing a "gender therapist", actually a second one. The first was 25 and was literally dumb as rocks. He sat there with this huge acceptance(TM) smile and said "I agree" after everything I said. Even when I purposely said dumb shit.

The second therapist tried to solicit a blowjob for $1k after I said I didn't bother to get a job because i could always work in the adult industry selling smut.... And he immediately jumped to sex with men for money, then to eye contact and an extact amount. Nigga even touched my shoulders on the way out... I record all my sessions (paranoid delusional archetype and 9 years journalist training...) so idk what to do with it. I don't wanna do anything I just have no one to trust.
I don't even trust myself enough tonight to get online and reup on my lsd. I want to live on my own terms, but like you I can only do so when I'm not alone and I can hide behind someone else's shield or shield them with my worthless projection ego.
I hate my personality most of all, it's as fraudulent as it can be. That's his purpose. To get everyone to fuck off.

I don't want to be a fiction trapped clawing like a cat to get out of my own head. I'm just not brave enough, like a cat, to fuck with the HINGES of the door. :/

Wow, talk about shitty therapists. That really sucks, sorry. Honestly, I don't really know what to say. I don't have a lot of experience with anything other than my own shit, so it's hard to give any real suggestions knowing that what I'm suggesting might, in actuality, be a terrible idea.

Now I want my emotion and touch back. I want to walk and play in reality(TM). I am so autistic with love and sex. Especially when I have to text to make plans it all unravels. I'm smooth in my head but my gears just can't turn in person proper and I end up doing saying texting literally the most aspie bullshit like why and for what fml fuck.


I need to figure out how to transition too. I've only ever been good at writing, I don't like math or chemistry, or interfacing with reality at all.

Where is step 1 for conformed consent? Where do I find doctors who don't literally ask "are you sure?" followed by "wait is that like you want to get a sex change?"

HRT seems to be new science, at least around here.

I don't want to ruin my life by avoiding it (personality archetype: known) and I don't wanna jump one dark abyss into another.


Fuck. I need my female friends to get back from college next week. I can't trust the male peasants I'm surrounded by.

Does anybody know a trustworthy online pharmacy that will ship mones to Ontario? iirc none of the major trusted sites will even touch Canada. The local IC clinic isn't accepting new patients until the end of the year and I'm out of options.

Mtf here, So I'm 2.5 months on HRT at age 21, here's the changes I can report so far
>Horniness is sporadic, somedays I'm getting boners all the time, other days I have no interest in sex
>Periodic sadness, not depression but more like a profound sympathy for everything, thinking about all the suffering in the world and wishing I could change it. It sounds very sappy and pretty but it's quite annoying honestly
>Cry more easily, but a very masculine kind of anger is still my go-to response when upset
>Random bouts of dizziness and lightheadedness
>Intense muscle soreness everywhere
>Reduced muscle in the thighs and somewhat in the arms, not much anywhere else
>Skin that feels softer sometimes? But not always, only when I'm very relaxed
>Dysphoria has intensified greatly, but happens less often

Is this about normal, or should I be expecting more? Should I get my levels checked?
>>
>>6128572
>Random bouts of dizziness and lightheadedness

Spironolactone?
>>
>>6128861
that's the one. I'm guess that's typical?
>>
>>6128572
I'm ftm. All the emotional stuff sounds like estrogen. For better and for worse, emotion is in high fidelity. For me it's more effort to access now. I miss it and I don't.
I think you'll get used to it, learn when not to go down the most emotional avenues.

The muscle tone, too. I had soft thighs and thundercalves.
>>
>>6128867
It's a typical sign of low blood pressure. And Spironolactone is a blood pressure medication. I wouldn't be concerned if the symptoms aren't persistent.

Hey, so I've had my eyebrows done for a while and keep them plucked nice and thin because I like how they look. As of late, though, my sister's been asking if I'm doing something with them. Plus, when I was out at a convention I had eyebrow liner on and got some pictures taken of me. I think that she might have picked up on it after seeing the pictures or something because she's now started asking again.

Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone has any idea of what I can tell her. I'm not in a position where I feel comfortable coming out to her, so that's not an option. I know it's kind of a stupid thing, but I'm really freaking out right now over what I can tell her. :<
>>
>>6129210
"I like my eyebrows shaped this way."
"Why, are you trans?"
"No."

No big deal.
>>
>>6128991
Oh yeah i forgot. Puffy sore nipples and some fat accumulation around the boobs
>>
>>6125968
If that therapist is licensed you should report them to the state board or a similar authority. Provide the recording and your documentation. It's creepy that they solicited you, but they may have other patients who are more vulnerable to coercion or manipulation. The state board may not do anything, or it may take them years, but it would be the right thing to do if you are able to.
>>
>>6129210
If you don't want people to notice you've had your eyebrows done, then don't do anything to them. No way to get around it.

You care about it much more than anyone else will, barring overly-conservative people who refuse to accept males doing anything "unmanly".

>>6129286
This. In fact, the chances are low that they'll actually ask if you're trans, or even seriously consider it (maybe it'll come to mind, but they're not going to seriously suspect you're trans because of it unless they pretty much did already).

I've been on HRT for 5mo now.. Recently I started getting pain in my legs and hips area and I'm just trying to figure it out. I don't think its a DVT because they are typically unilateral, and in the calf. Mine mainly hurts around my thigh and knees, and all around my hips. It just feels like sore muscles. Anyone else experience this, or should I go to the ER asap?

I've started to expeicne something like it, feels sort of like muscle pulling or something, kinda like a sore muscle.

Is it common to be a closet tranny who generally hates most trannies? All the ones I've met are either transtrender ftms, hons, or sjws.

Nope totally normal. Rule of thumb: If they can't blend in they bitch until you bend. It's always the loud neverpass SJW and hons who embarrass us all.
>>
>>6130650
It seems like I see a lot of people on here saying they can't stand most other trans people. I haven't met any others, so I can't really comment, but I think if most fit into the stereotypical SJW, oversensitive douchebag kinda personality, I'd be inclined to agree with them/you. Now the people that say they're trans because it's a fad and they make a big deal out of it piss me off, but those are, mostly, different people anyway.

>>
>>6130691
I always thought the entire point of being trans was to blend in to the gender you identified as. Now people are acting like it's some sort of "third gender" and a tumblr girl with short hair is somehow now male cuz she says she is.

I mean I guess it can be fairly different for everybody, but yeah I agree with what you're saying. The trigender pyrofox from that stupid Cyanide & Happiness video pretty much sums up how I feel.

The second one's way better; in the first one you sound like a transgirl, the second one you sound like a cis girl, especially that "fuck you" at the end.

i bought from QHI first time recently and someone tried to transfer money out of my bank account over the phone using my card details, i don't buy anything else online. it was immediately blocked so no worry but i can't honestly think how anyone else could have got my deets. do they sell info on or something? idk how else it coulda happened. anyone else had any suspicious shit like that go on after buying mones online? i got an endo appt. in a month so hopefully won't have any more of this shit and i can go back to being legit

HRT doesnt do jack for your eyebrows. Bust out the tweezers.

Okay, but will they grow back just as bushy?
>>
>>6132951
Yes. Like a beard, eyebrows will grow wherever there is still a follicle. And HRT doesn't remove follicle hair. You can get it lasered.

Does anyone else ever have days where they just feel completely confused as to why they're transitioning and disgusted with themselves? Like, I feel quite a bit better on hormones, granted I've only been on them for about two months, but I don't know. I just occasionally feel really fucking weird about starting my transition, and it sometimes feels like maybe I don't want these things while simultaneously enjoying all the affects of hormones.

Thanks, very helpful. Guess it's just the waiting game for me.

>Notice signs of progress
>Woah! omg! Is that permanent? wtf, do I really want this? Will people notice? this is fucking scary omg
>>
>>6136291
When I'm in doubt, I remember the bouts of depression and suicidal thoughts I had before starting HRT.
>>
>>6136343
Not that anon but I used to be like that. My first year was constantly on and off HRT. I took it for a few months, got scared at developments and what my parents would think, stopped for 2-3, heavy dysphoric episode and start is back up, repeat.

I regret not staying on them more than I can say. Eventually it broke when I hit a point of progress that I was happy with seeing, and wasn't afraid of what was happening anymore.
>>
>>6136343
I've kinda been feeling that with my nipples starting to get puffy and sensitive, but mostly I like that.

>>6136371
Yeah. I've been reminding myself of how much more closed off I was just two months ago, how constantly uncomfortable I was, and how little I cared about being alive. It's still a weird feeling though.

Told me family I am questioning gender identity. I am male possible going female. Mom gave me big sale pitch on how I might have low testosterone and that low T causes a lot of issues that I have been having -depression, sleeping in, anxiety etc. Also she says she "doesn't buy" that I am transgender. I'm not sure if she will ever come around to believing me :( at this point I am still unsure but if I am just in denial about being Trans my mom is really making me doubt myself.

I'm not sure if in time she will come around but if she doesn't how do I deal with it? Will I lose my relationship with her all together?

>My mom is really making me doubt myself.
Hence why I plan to wait until I've been on HRT for a few months before I come out to my parents - then at least I'll feel committed and I can show them how confident I am...I hope. Not saying that was an option for you...Idk, just wanted to brag, I guess. :/

>Will I lose my relationship with her all together?
Honestly, it's tough to say. It really is an "expect the worst, hope for the best" scenario. Ultimately you need to decide what is more important - making sure that you're happy or pretending to be someone that you're not just to uphold everyone else's perception of you. Sorry if that's cold, but that's basically what it comes down to. Best of luck, anon. :)

I'm being told by the people I talk to that eyebrows are the last thing I should worry about if I want to pass. They say I would look like a man with woman eyebrows. Are they right?
>>
>>6140634
Of course, they can look out of place.

But you also have to consider that passing IRL is often decided in the first seconds of interaction. In my experience people will gender you, then tend to stick to it and ignore the small discrepancies. If you're close to the tipping point, okay-ish voice and face, having stereotypically feminine eyebrow can help you get there.

Also worst case you don't pass and look ultra faggy, nbd :^)

I look androgynous at first glance. I'm very clearly male upon closer inspection, though. And I'm not really trying to pass at the moment, so there's more to be done. I guess I'll keep my eyebrows only trimmed and shaped for now until I take care of other things.

My male friend agreed to let me suck his dick, and I really really want to, but I'm 27 and have never had any sexual experiences and i'm terrified. I think what really scares me most about doing it is that I still don't really feel all that feminine in appearance, even though I've been on hormones for over two years and look much younger than I actually am. It doesn't help that although my friend is very masculine he's a fucking skeleton and is slightly shorter and overall smaller than me.

My friends all tell me I'm super close to passing, and I've always gotten a lot of attention for being attractive, but I just feel so gross and manly. Have any of you been in this situation? How do I get over my dysphoria enough to just suck a dick already?

If so then it seems like a beautiful way for a trans girl to die, because of how ironic and poetic it would be.

Hurr durr, my wife is my smarter half and so much wiser, hahaha. Fucking idiots. Then you have the MMA idiots, and pro sports cucks worshipping and living vicariously through blacks while they get fat from drinking all the time.

there are youtube videos on the subject which are probably going to be the most help, but you want to apply it across an area in just one or two light strokes with even coverage, and then don't blend it. then apply foundation over it. the idea is that the orange covers up the darkness of your hair, and then you use foundation to cover up the orange.

sounds alright to me. but like the anon said, check your levels and keep in line with that. everyone's going to be different

absolutely. don't give testosterone/estrogen a year to fuck up your body more. get informed about the meds/side effects and get your levels checked.

Why do I want to be a girl so bad? Why can't I fight it?
>>
im not sure when it started, but at some point in my early adolescence i began to wish i had been born a girl. i figured the thoughts were just the product of some weird perversion i had because i was 13-15, so i buried them under all my other problems (that i know now were pretty much a direct result of my yet-to-be-identified dysphoria) and hid my pain from my friends and family. around 17/18 i had a small mental breakdown, began cutting myself and hiding from people and sleeping all day. i couldnt understand why i was unhappy, so i blamed it on my being a little bitch who needed to suck up and deal with it. obviously this just made things worse, so i started doing drugs to try to feel something that wasnt an inescapable void of despair; thus began my long and abusive relationship with mdma, the only thing that made me smile. i went ham for about 6 months doing grams a day, i lost around 40 lbs and certainly lost some mental acuity. i did however come back into contact with the beast lurking, arisen from its slumber by a seemingly endless amount of drug-fueled soul searching. i realized the source of the pain, identified the problem, and came to terms with who i am. now, years later, im 22 and lost in life. transitioning has been in the back of my mind for a couple months now, but im scared that ill just look like a hairy alien in a skirt. im not sure why im even making this post, im not even asking a question. im just tired of keeping it inside i guess

Hi. I don't know what the hell should I do. Ever since I was 13 I've had a thought of being a woman. It's retarded to even think something like that. Sometimes it's in my mind for months, sometimes I don't think about it for months. It's not that I couldn't live as a man, it is easy as fuck. But it's there always, even if I forget it for a moment soon it'll buzz again like a goddamn fly. The problem is that I don't know if I'm just a retarded kid who read too much transrelated topics on the internet.

I'll be 18 on next august. After that I should be able to start transition on my own if necessary. I don't want to, but if it's the best option I have I'll take it.

Sorry for bad englando/typos, I'm not native speaker and I'm writing this on the phone at 5:45 AM. Pls help

I doubt hrt causes that, people tried to change sexual orientation via hormones for way too long without success for this to be true
imo it's more a "meh society hates me anyway already why not live out my orientation the way I want it"- subconcious thing

personally, no change

I've always been a pretty feminine boy and I'm repulsed by my genitals or anything, but I'm starting to hate my masculine features and crossdressing more and more. About a year or two ago I started to hate my body for not being more feminine and having suicidal urges when I saw girls who have a similar build because they seem like everything I can't be. I've always bottled up my feelings so I don't really know if this is just low self esteem or if I've been avoiding some gender identity issues, please help.

I need help :c

I don't know what to do. I came here before to get a lot of feelings off my chest and everyone said I was expressing the same things they all felt and went through. That surprised me because I didn't think I had much of anything in common with trans people, let alone that I should go so far as to transition, and it upset me because I wanted to be told I was normal, and it relieved me because I felt like I wasn't alone, as I thought my situation was unique (turns out it's anything but), and felt like this could be the primary cause of my other problems.

Now the thing is I'm already very feminine for a guy despite trying my hardest to be masculine. I think this might be why I find it easier to cope for the most part. I go through periods where I can't believe I entertained the thought of transitioning, but yet I still do things normal cis guys don't do, for no reason other than that it makes me feel better, like it's dysphoria affecting my behavior.

So people say I look like a girl a lot, and for every person who says it, who knows how many think it. I've been growing my hair out for no reason other than I'm afraid to have short hair and long hair feels good, it always has, I used to have really long hair but it's not even at my shoulders or past my jaw yet. So whatever, I like long hair so do plenty of guys, but when people tell me I need to cut it because I look like a girl my immediate reaction is something like "ew" while my internal response is "I hope that sounded believable" so they don't find out it doesn't bother me to look like a girl. What bothers me is that it's unacceptable.

So the question is what is my problem? I'm still in doubt I'm trans, I don't want it to be true but I'm afraid it will only get worse over time as it always does. Why don't I just start the transition and get on hormones in the meantime to see how I respond? I don't feel like transitioning is the right treatment for me. I may be in the perfect situation to transition with a family that might already suspect something, I have no friends, no job or obligations or anything tied to a male identity. But I'm a male so I have to live as one. I don't want to be a trans girl I want to be a real girl who can grow up to have children. I don't want to have to pretend to be a girl and be seen as a freak of nature. I don't want to feel like I'm faking things by not being able to do things naturally. I want being a girl to come naturally like being a guy is supposed to for males. I would rather live as a guy if it means I'm not seen as a freak and can fulfill my biological purpose of reproduction. It doesn't bother me much to be a guy except that it doesn't feel right and the only time I feel good for being a guy is when I'm fulfilling the stereotypes, it feels good to prove I really am a guy, but who am I really fooling? I just can't see myself living as a fake girl but I can't see myself as a man either... :c

I read a thought experiment about whose body you would rather yours be like later in life, your mother's or father's, and without a doubt I want to be like my mom but I can't deal with being a fake woman socially and biologically so I'd rather bear life as a man to avoid those conflicts.

Also the way I see it, if the problem is my brain I couldn't deal with breaking my functional body to fit my broken brain rather than the other way around. It would feel like I'm making my body become mismatched to match my mismatched brain, how could I look at myself knowing I've let the problem in my brain win? I know, when the GD gets bad, you take being a fake girl over anything. The problem is I can't convince myself that I'm really a girl like others are able to. My brain is a part of my body not the other way around. I want to rid these feelings in any other way than transitioning, I want to be a happy man. I would rather be an unhappy man than a happy trans, but I'd rather be an unhappy girl over anything but a happy girl, and I'd rather be anything over an unhappy trans, which is my primary fear.

Eat more fibre and drink more water maybe?

The fact that you've thought about being a woman since such a young age and those thoughts keep coming back makes you sound pretty trans. People who frequently wonder if they are trans do turn out to be trans a lot of the time.
>>
>>6148264
Sounds like gender issues. Hating your masculine features and desiring more feminine features are both criteria for a gender dysphoria diagnosis. Getting depressed when seeing pretty girls is really common for trannies. Also, not hating your genitals doesn't disqualify you from being trans. There are all different types of transwomen, of course a lot dislike their penis, but some are indifferent about it and some actually like having it.

What should I do when there is no help at the phychiatric places in my country or transgender individuals (I live in Holland) I went to the one in Amsterdam for a couple of years(18-24) being kept from hormones for no real reason other than "you dont seem ready yet". and the only other place wont take me in because I live outside of their treatment areas.
I just feel so hopelessly lost these last couple of weeks I just dont know what to do anymore at all.
Informed consent doesnt exist here as far as I know off so I cant resort to that, my parents are against me selfmedding as well and keep track of what comes in the mail with my name on it and what happens with my bank accounts so there is no option to order them online either.

I have the same thing, it's exciting when you do it but then the excitement drops away and you feel confused about it.
>>
>>6143253
you can probably overdose on testostorone, the body has to process it some way and that still leaves a lot of crap in your body, most logical point of failure would be kidneys.
>>
>>6148961
Go to "lgbt info" place, dont know the english word. They will redirect you to T friendly psychologists. Tell your story. You will get redirected to the doc getting hormones very quickly (took me 1 appointment)
>>
>>6114671
Like exactly the same. Although I've done it a few more times and feel less gross. Still have makeup though
>>
>>6146414

If you mean those self help groups of whatever I went to like 2 different ones.

The medication still has to be metabolized. It makes you piss out salt and water.

From my drug-food interaction book:
>take spiro with meals or milk to increase absorption and decrease gut irritation
>caution with alcohol
>don't eat licorice
>nothing about caffeine

Anyone have experience with causing athropy in their testes before taking hormones and how much it works. Sick of waiting before I get them and want something to happen.

omfg so i am mtf and today this guy came up to me to get my number, he was hot and i got a raging boner even tho I'm on 200 mg spiro daily. like wtf how am i getting boners if I'm on spiro! Is QHI spiro bad or what
>>
>>6149327
I've never had a hot guy ask for my number.

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

>think of names you like
>choose one

If you can't think of one, then use a random name generator or look at lists of popular names (you can take inspiration without having to choose one of them).
>>
>>6149327
That's normal. If you were still getting erections really easily or getting morning wood like before hormones, then you should check for problems.
>>
>>6148430
Just go with Sarah.

>>6149327
seems like deep down your body doesn't have any dysphoria at all

So I'm on spiro and I've got these huge headrushes that feel like I'm hanging upside down. Is that bad?
>>
>>6152098
yes, that's what happens when you take spiro
>>
>>6152158
Okay so I don't need to see a doctor or anything right? It's just a side effect?
>>
>>6152098
more salt and water
>>
>>6152182
well it wouldn't be a bad idea to do it...
maybe he will put you on something better
>>
>>6152225
Well it's been going on for at least an hour now, I guess my next question is is there a risk I might need to go to the ER tonight?
>>
>>6152295
uhhh yeah that's bad, like i was thinking you meant more frequent feelings like when you stand up too fast. i don't know to tell you to see the er or not honestly. if it goes on for too much longer maybe it's a good idea. don't take any more spiro. are you selfmedding or prescribed? if the former buy a different one. if the latter see your doctor and tell him
>>
Is there IC clinic in sydney? Does straya even do IC? Or maybe a therapist that won't gate me to suicide?
>>
>>6153174
no IC in sydney but get a referral for Jon Hayes from a gp idk if you would need a letter I was self medding and he never asked just got my implant and script and left, he has a bit of a wait (like 6 weeks) but he is good
>>
>>6153174
Idk about NSW but QLD has sexual health clinics. They are free and it only takes about 8 weeks to get mones. I live in a regional area too so I can't imagine it would be too hard in Sydney.
>>
why does my heart hurt when I see boys who turned into girls
>>
>>6152295
Ok, so update on the headrushy feelings.
I took your advice and didn't take the spiro last night, only the estrogen. I didn't feel like I was in grave danger after that so I didn't go to a doctor yet.
It's now the morning and I don't feel the headrushes anymore, I just feel weak as hell. Maybe it was just allergies or congestion or something?
Is it alright to take the spiro again?
I just hate the idea of my HRT getting these constant interruptions just because of my own hypochondria.
