Hi everyone, trans girl here. I was recently told that laser isn't permanent while electrolysis is.. that hair grows back within a few years with laser? Can someone please explain to me the difference?
Trans girlie here. Apart from wanting to put the past behind me as soon as possible I seem to be in a damned if I do damned if I don't scenario with updating my ID. I would rather do it later if possible to keep the cutest version of me on my ID but at 4 months on hrt people are already starting to glance harder at my ID when I buy alcohol for example. Does anyone here have advice or pitfalls to avoid? Thanks
Hi everyone, I'm a trans girlie and Ive been on hrt for a little over 3 months now. I've also been recently prescribed an antidepressant by my doctor (little blue pill). When I first started hrt I seen primarily from a lot of youtube videos about the matrix being a trans allegory, and how the blue pill (antidepressant) may come from a trans-ignorant place and the red pill being estradiol (hrt). My question is does my depression come from gender dysphoria and I shouldnt take the blue pill or should i take it? You can ask me questions and for context Im still boymoding.. Even at home I havent even begun to dress femme so I'm wonderingif maybe I should just go buy some clothes.. When I feel like a girl I feel fine idk
Hello all, I'm just posting here as to generally inquire about the nature of the translation industry today. I know MTPE has taken over but I'm wondering if this might be okay bc more clients will be able to/ feel empowered to translate their business thereby creating as much if not more work available for translators as before, or am I wrong? My language pair is JP to ENG and I haven't yet attained fluency in JPN but am close to it so I thought I'd inquire here as I've been considering a career in translation.. Can someone give me some pointers and salary expectations just starting out? Which companies should I apply for? I also am specializing in medical. Thanks!
Context: trans woman, 2 months on HRT. (T-blocker and patches).
2 months on hrt and I'm really starting to feel so much better now. Genuine happiness both general and related to gender become a part of my life more and more each day. Confusion and uncertainty regarding my true gender and trans identity and even my sexuality has been confirmed to what I suspected (transbian hehehe), mental health is improving drastically, and I can't believe how much I enjoy this, I'm even happy about the the loss of sperm count and pre-hrt erectile abilities (said no cis man ever lol).
I really can't wait to begin to live my life as a woman. (I'm boymoding). However literally the one thing I was concerned about pre starting hrt is now on the forefront of my mind. Dawned on me today. I knew I wanted to kind of just try hrt and see what happened and now I know I need this for my life. Of course now that one thing being fertility preservation is what I'm concerned about.
More context: I'm jobless and homeless, no support system and no funds in the bank: broke. The option I'm faced with currently is to literally stop hrt and look for a job and save up money. I think I need between 1k-2k USD for like a year long sperm preservation. I live in a blue state (USA) where medicaid is covering my gender affirming care. I asked the facility where I received my care and prescription if they knew whether or not my state covered fertility preservation specifically under state medicaid and they said they would have someone reach out to me with answers and they never did. :( I literally cannot find this answer anywhere online and time is ticking.
So my main two questions and reason for posting other than joy ranting was: does anyone know if generally or if some states ( with state Medicaid) cover fertility preservation or not? (And I know it can vary state to state). Question two is do we know how long someone has on mtf hrt before their reproductive capabilities are officially gone? I'm under the impression I still have time to get off hrt and figure a job out. The downside to this is I'll literally be miserable slaving a menial job closeted (probably) and suffering under gender dysphoria trying to save up for this thing I want. It would be pretty tough for my medications to be sitting on a table and me not taking them.
Also I know adoption is a thing and if I marry a trans woman as well neither of us would be getting pregnant (probably). But please generally reply to my two concerns above. Thank you!!! <3
Trans woman here. I've heard that depth of a neo vagina for a trans woman is determined by the length of the penis being used.. Considering there is some significant shrinkage of the penis as an effect of mtf hrt treatment, how are trans women going about planning a vaginoplasty assuming they want to have some kind of depth for their neo vagina? Maybe not much a concern for women whose member was average or above average pre-hrt but perhaps a concern for women who are under 5 inches pre-hrt.
Self-identified trans girl here. 3 weeks on hrt.. I just need to make sure... (Make sure I'm not making a mistake etc).. What exactly is.. gender dysphoria? I think I understand its usually said to be a distress caused from incongruence with sex characteristics and internal gender identity (among other things).. but what exactly does that feel like emotionally/mentally..? Funny thing is, as a "guy" who is considered conventionally attractive in certain ways, this general script of "well I'm a decent looking chap" was the MO I just went along with for some years.. but considering I suspect I may have some kind of alexithymia which prevents me from kind of having an emotional measure/check/assessment on things.. I am left with a kind of uncertainty about this transition I'm undergoing. I seem to be unable to care enough to do the imagination experiments of my new feminine form, namely boobs, that many trans folk are able to feel confident about. I think this may be about chest hair dysphoria. I still remain pretty solid on my trans identity but I figured at 3 weeks in would be a good time to inquire on here. Still boymoding and look exactly the same I feel.
Just seeking opinion or reference in regards to being able to qualify for a CDL and subsequent employment with a trucking company. I have had a single DUI from around 5 years ago and a few other basic tickets on my record. I've still yet to reinstates my regular DL and haven't drove a vehicle since the DUI. I'm just wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction or level with me on whether a CDL and trucking career is still attainable for me.
I wanna hear what the trans community thinks about assuming gender. I am trans f myself. Honestly it doesn't sound like a bad idea but it may take some effort to unlearn not assuming or trying to guess lol. That being said idk bc I thought some trans folk like having their gender assumed or guessed. I could be wrong but I thought that was part of transitioning. Is this something to take seriously? I've only heard about this concept vaguely.
