I've been seeing a lot of people saying that using milk of magnesia on your skin before applying trans tape can help a lot with mitigating itchiness. Right now, it's impossible for me to wear tape for more than roughly a day and a half because of how itchy I get. I'm pretty certain it's not due to an allergy (no pain, no reddened skin, no blisters or wounds), but I won't rule it out entirely.

The only problem is I can't seem to figure out where to get it. The only things my searching is giving me are tablets for constipation and workout supplements. Does anyone have any idea of where to get milk of magnesia in norway? I can also go to Sweden for it, but I would prefer not to have to buy it online from outside the country because of the high import cost

Thank you!

It's almost pride month! Yay!

I've been trying to find any trans meetups near me for a while, but I've been coming up empty. I was hoping that maybe, with pride approaching, there will be something happening. Does anyone know of anything?

If there isn't anything but there is enough interest I might organise something myself

I hadn't given it much thought until recently, but I realised that my dysphoria used to be nearly entirely socially based. For the most part, I was fine with how my body looked and how I sounded. The only exception being my chest, which I've always been uncomfortable with.

But now, about a decade later, I don't care at all how I'm viewed, I'm even fine with my birth name even though it's extremely gendered, and all my discomfort comes from my body and voice being wrong. I'm hopefully going to be able to start HRT soon though, so that's a step in the right direction

Has anyone else had a similar experience?
