Hola buenas una consulta hpotéticamente, si estuviera pensando en empezar una terapia hormonal por mi cuenta comprando en farmacia, qué se pide exactamente? Leí que por lo general no se pide receta en farmacias por hormonas pero no sé el nombre de los medicamentos que se usan...
I bought a safety razor and I haven't used it without nicking myself ever. If I shave with the grain sometimes it's fine, sometimes I cut myself. But if I go against the grain the blade just gets caught and it feels like it's dull, I always see blood no matter what. Sometimes the cuts are so big I don't want to go out because I don't want for people to see my face like that. I get little pimples all along where I shave and irritation. I go slow, fast, hold the blade away from my face, shave real close, it doesn't matter, I always cut myself. I don't know what to do not shaving is not an option but I can't keep cutting my face like this
Why? Or, why not? Are trans women more likely to use makeup everyday than cis women?
No pollslop sorry I wanted to read nuanced answers
I've met a couple of FtMs guys who are what I guess could be described as ayden or "ayden adjacent" (?. Just people who transition by changing their names and pronouns, cutting their hair, and using a binder but not actually medically transitioning. I remember recently catching up with a guy who I hadn't seen since before he transitioned and when I saw him he was clearly not on T despite socially transitioning for like a year, but I just assumed he was getting blocked by the medical system or something. At some point I asked him what transitioning was like for him and he told me he came out to his friends and family but didn't want to start HRT because he didn't "agree with it" and that just because he was trans doesn't mean he has to get on T or get top surgery, also that he knows he'd have to take it for life. I told him some men take it for some years and then stop after their body changes but he just said it wasn't for him and changed the subject.
Now while it's his choice and all and that's okay I find it really confusing because I see transitioning kinda the opposite way. I priotized medical transition over social transition and I know many others here do too. While of course social transition is important and should be done eventually I see HRT in a way as what "validates" a transition, if that makes sense (not counting people that for whatever health related reason can't ever take it). It just blows my mind to see people basically just change their name and get a haircut and call it a day, like what even is the point of that?
