I've been told that bones fuse at this age, but I just wanted to be sure. I would give anything to be reborn as a woman, lol. 🥲

So i’m 15 and on blockers for like 1.5 years and im very likely getting estrogen on april!! yay! My main question is though, how to train my voice so it’s brighter and less wobbly? i sound like a raspy pre-pubescent teenage boy 😭. My pitch sits around 230hz naturally but i know that’s not all that matters. However i still pass. I just know it can be better!! Some recommendations on youtube would be amazing and highly appreciated! :)

Ps: does anyone know what tests they run before deciding if you can take estrogen? i will be in the hospital for 1 night running tests and would know how to prepare to be as healthy as i can be so the doctors decision is more likely to be positive 💗

Anyone know of how I can just get a surgery letter? Like pay a fee or something? I have one but need one more my other one expired and if would cost over $300 for them to write it since they’re no longer in network with my insurance.

I started HRT several months ago. I got my scripts through PP but did not realize that they would be shared or accessible by the PCP I go for general health. During my last visit, he brought up the scripts very casually. I don't know why but panicked and said someone had been using my information but paying cash. He is a friend of my parents who I have been seeing for over a decade and the only doctor nearby.

Due to more panic, I did not do the blood test and now, because of my schedule, I will not be able to do it through LabCorp until December/January. I am that busy with my work and the nearest place that test hormone levels is Labcorp which is a few hours away. I was finally bumped up to 6 mg estradiol and 200 spiro, and finally seeing results. I know if I wait for my next real break I will have to restart at the lower dose. The NP from PP pretty much said so. I'm just very depressed. My

breasts started to have sensation/sensitivity and some growth, my smell had changed and my skin was becoming smoother. I'm just very depressed. I know there is HIPPA, but I live in an incredibly small town in the south in the middle of nowhere.

Hello 👋

I'm 26yo, 2.3y on e, no prog, 175lbs, 5'9", large frame, a cups. Body of hank hill. No hips, no butt

I want to change my body. I really want hips and breasts. Havent gotten any so far despite being on E for a very long time.

I dont know much about diy hrt or specialty medications. But, i have a plan. I'd love yalls imput and suggestions

Heres the plan

1. Loose 30lbs (get down to 145lbs). Start prog cycling to mimic a period. Run 🏃‍♀️ a 5k every other day on the treadmill

2. Pregdose, 200mg progesterone everyday, and Pio for 9 months. Convince my body I'm pregnant. Gain 50 lbs over 9 months (get to 195lbs). Squats, abducter, and hip thrusts at the gym

3. Stop ✋️ pio, and go back to normal dose. Start domperidone and prog cycling for 4-5 months. Pump my breasts during this time.

4. Profit?? 💰

Is this crazy. What research do i need to do? Has anyone attempted something like this?

I'm wondering if someone could give me some perspective on how traveling from Illinois to New Orleans would be for 2 trans women?? I know new Orleans is a decent place compared to other cities in the south, but I'm mostly worried about the travel in between. I believe the route has Memphis on the way.

Last time I went south was before I passed whatsoever and I was followed into a bathroom in Kentucky.

My girlfriend is basically fearless when it comes to travel but I have a lot of trauma with violence and just a man raising his voice can send me into a panic. How likely do you think we would be to run into issues?

Hi all, I'm pre-HRT (AMAB) and want to explore HRT. However I've been recently diagnosed with coeliac (age 30), and the doctors said I've got a higher risk of developing bone health issues. I know there's also an increased risk with elevated oestrogen/etc.

Until I fully recover from coeliac, I probably won't start with HRT, but I'd like to hear from your experience, especially if there are coeliac's too.

Thanks!

Hello Reddit,

I am 24F and my partner is 25F, formerly 25M

My highschool sweetheart, who I was separated from for about 5 years, reconnected with as juniors/seniors in college. Since college, we’d been living together for about 2 years, and both dealing with horrific levels of mental health issues at the same time. We only stopped living together recently because we reached a point where we were both admitted to psych hospitals. Both of us moved in with our families, but our relationship continued much more separately. We both need time to heal, so this is okay for both of us. Over the last few weeks, I was the first to know, first to know when she came out to family, and am among few who are accepting her. I’ve been so grateful to see this person be genuinely happy. When we lived together, we were both too empathetic, and stacked each other’s anxiety. Now I understand that she had been carrying a huge burden, and why I always felt like she was lying to me about how she felt. Yesterday, she started HRT, and I’m so happy for her and proud of her. With how long ive known her, this makes 10000% sense that she would experience gender queerness.

The reason I’m here, is I’m trying to understand how to adjust my sexuality. Ive always been bisexual, and I’m super into women. Ive also always been extremely into my partner, and we always have the best sex ever. I tried to watch porn: “Futanari” a genre my partner has always enjoyed. I couldn’t get myself there, and I had to switch to something else. I don’t know if it’s because porn is usually marketed for what men want to see, so maybe this is why it wasn’t appealing to me. I want to be more open to this, because I am soulmates with this person. I find them attractive just as I did before, but it’s also very early in the transitioning process. I want to take steps now that help me grow with my partner. How can I grow with my partner? I would rather be with her, and I want to lean into this. If you’re in a similar position as my partner, what would you hope I would try to do? What else can I do to explore this for myself? Does anyone else have partners who have or are transitioning? How can I make her feel the most comfortable.

Thank you
