Finally going to the clinic tomorrow to talk about starting on estradiol. They have informed consent and are openly supportive of queer and trans so I feel like they'll have me covered but is there anything I should have in mind going in? Like questions I should raise or anything like that?

Have been off of Mastodon for a bit.

Life's been going well. I'm rebounding from breakups better, I'm liking how my body is developing more-and-more, am growing more comfortable than ever as a sexual being, and recently hit 20 months of #HRT . I also have backups in case shit truly hits the fan.

I'm prepared to protest and raise hell when I can do so safely and #transition peacefully no matter what. Give me E or give me death!

I'm also fully-prepared to seek asylum if any country opens it for #trans peeps like me.

I've also determined that surgeries are in my future, either in this country or wherever I end up seeking asylum in (which country opens the border first).

How much of a pain in the ass and cost is DIY #HRT, feminizing flavor? I'm already meh on HRT and EVERYTHING seems to be currently conspiring me from even trying it but homebrew is probably the only way to go while I'm in hell (Iowa)

Americans on testosterone gel, please check your lot/batch numbers.

There was a recall because there was benzene found in the gel, and you do NOT wanna rub that into your skin!

(Edit: For clarification, benzene is a potent carcinogen, found in strong chemicals like gasoline!)

Washington State Local Health InsuranceDrug Recall ReportThe Drug Recall Report is for prescription drugs that are have recently been issued recalls by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

For the estrogenated transfemmes in my feed: did you find that once you doubled or upped your dose of E, the emotional baggage you typically carried around got a WHOLE lot harder?

Its been a week since I've upped my dose and my GOD have I had a rough week.

Is it a coincidence or is it part the process. Pls tell me it'll go away 😢 #hrt #trans

I'm looking for some advice on starting progesterone. I've been on IM estradiol injections for awhile. Does anyone have some info or advice? Any input would help. Hard to find info online that looks reputable or actually has concrete guidance and my doctor won't say anything beyond "it's up to you". No dose or method recommendation so it's my call on all fronts apparently.

Help me with paying for my HRT!

Im a transwoman trying to start HRT, struggling with getting enough money while stuck in a toxic, stressing and dysfunctional household, unable to get a salaried job as still in high school and physically don't have enough time, I come here asking for the help of the internet, thanks a lot in advance!

Talking about toxic masculinity.

As a trans guy I DREAM of having a beard.
But I also know that my masculinity has nothing to do with it, the same way it has nothing to do with what is -or isn't- between my legs.

Cis guys could learn a thing or two from us in that matter.

A question for my friends who are #trans and/or #menopausal and/or anyone dealing with hormones, #hrt and related supplements. I’m preparing an opt out post on data sovereign period trackers for those who menstruate and would like to include ideas for hormone tracking too. Which apps or systems do you use? What is needed in this space?

Comments or DMs welcome. This post will be deleted in a few days to ensure safety.

(Edit: A note that I appreciate and fully respect that trans people and menopausal people are often (although not always) members of very different groups and I do not wish to confuse populations or identities. In this instance I just want to reach anyone whose everyday expertise requires careful, expert, or experimental management of synthetic or bioidentical hormones. My apologies in advance if this causes any confusion or concern. ❤️)

Okay, can anyone help me buy my medications here in Georgia? With the online doctor consultation, it comes to $116.

I'm out of all 3 them at the moment, and probably should do something about that fairly soon. The good news is that they can see me and I can have have them delivered today (or early tomorrow).

Even a couple of dollars towards this would be amazing, as I'm trying to balance health and food for myself and the animals, in a safe place where I can't even read the alphabet, haha. It's hard to ask for help because you've already given me so much. :cyber_heart_sparkle_purple:

I really appreciate you all and your kindness, with cash and/or boosts, or just good vibes. Sending much love.
