This stupid shit, all day every day.

>do you consider the fact that this is a mental illness. Not in a pejorative sense. Like depression or schizophrenia. I was thinking and you don't give the schizo a gun. Why the trans person hormones and a gender reassignment.
"Mental illness" is a really imprecise term that in no way implies a particular form of treatment is appropriate or inappropriate.

>I've seen stats hat say suicide rate is equal to or higher post op.
No, you haven't. No such stats exist. You misunderstood whatever you read.

1) There are no pre-op stats because it is logistically impossible to collect those.

2) Post-op stats were once quite high but have improved in recent decades and the largest study to date found our suicide rates to be negligibly higher than the general population.

3) Other studies on the mental health of trans people (i.e. studying other things besides suicide, like rates of depression or ability to maintain personal relationships) have overwhelmingly found that transition greatly improves our mental health.

>Does anybody here feel like they are just being used by the industry to get a quick buck
Hormones are dirt-cheap, anon. Without insurance, I pay about ten bucks a month. WITH insurance, I pay ten bucks for about a half-year's supply.

Top surgery for FtMs is under ten grand in most places.

Bottom surgery is something many of us don't even get, and we're 0.03% of the population to begin with.

"The industry" undoubtedly make more money off Viagra and Botox than trannies.

>instead of figuring out if these decisions are really what you want.
It is really what I want. Pinky-promise.

>enabled
It's not an addiction. It's a brain disorder.

>Thoughts?
I hope you come back in the next life as an intelligent tranny and have to spend large amounts of time and emotional energy either ignoring or arguing with dolts who can't use Google.

Depression isn't a mental illness, but yes like it.

>>8600155
Yes it is, short bus.

Is 200mg of spiractin, 6mg of progynova, and 200mg of microgestin considered low dose?

I need help with how to start and dosages (I'm REALLY insecure and if i'm not being too selfish, I just want to make sure i'll do it right)

I've ordered 60 cypro pills (50mg) and 56 estrogen pills (1mg)

The estrogen is 17- b-estradiol micronized. This means i should swallow the pill? The description talks about gastrointestinal tract absorption but doesn't say anything about sublingual administration

Now for the schedule:
1x1mg E pill at noon
1x1mg Finasteride pill at noon
(I choose noon because it's easier to remember compared to when i wake up in a hurry)

1x25mg Cypro pill after dinner (~7pm)

1x1mg E pill at midnight, before sleeping

Is this a good way to start? Can i take cypro only for 1 month before starting E?

>>8594014
I am about to order estrogen and antiandrogen from this site https://www.inhousepharmacy.vu/c-88-transgender.aspx I have no prescription. I was thinking of starting with
>estrofem 1mg
>spiractin 25
Im 18 about to go into college does this seem right. I've done my research and these two seem good, I just want to know if anyone else has used different hormones and what you think would work best.

>Idiot.
I'm not the one out of touch with reality. Here's the latest example for you: >>8579355. I'm curious how many you need to reconnect with reality.

Have you even thought why trans women take anti-androgens? They're literally the opposite of hormones taken by cis women to build a thick body. This is why none of you will ever be a quality female.

Does OP picture accurately reflect trans women's concept of womanhood?

>>8589238
this pic makes me uncomfortable

>>8589238
I was a total tomboy growing up. I got slightly more feminine in High School, but it was only afterwards that I started feeling comfortable in skirts, dresses, and heavier make-up.
I had my first "crush" when I was 12, and ever since then the gay has been rising.

>food
I actually have no idea what my parents cooked for me when I was a kid. I only remember the meals my grandma made, whenever I visited her.

INTP
Trans mtf, biscum
I consider it to be slightly more accurate than horoscopes. Horoscopes are bullshit, and any accuracy is purely coincidental. MBTI at least takes some factors of who you are as an individual into account, but I don't think it's quite accurate enough to fully explain any individual.
Some people take the test multiple times and get different results depending on how they're feeling that day.

>>8582006
Trans straight woman
INFP
It's mostly bullshit but there's some truths. I do fall into a decent chunk of INFP stereotypes, for example, and my boyfriend into a bunch of INTJ.

ENFP
mtf biscum
I think socionics and the five factor scales are better at diagnosing, but its a very accurate system when you are properly classified.

I hate pussy but almost all of my friends are women so no

Bisexual men who exclusively date other men usually do it for misogynistic reasons. Some gay men might be misogynistic but it's much more common among bisexuals.

About as much as straight men are.

>>8616053
What were your childhood experiences that remind you you were trans?

>>8616065
knowing I was a boy in all of them.

>>8616053

You can _come to terms with your memories_, but you can't ignore, repress, or brainwash yourself without serious mental consequences and in general it doesn't even work.

>>8615856
You want to be a woman, you feel good when people validate this want. Are you surprised?

>>8615856
Are you transitioning or in a gay relationship? Either way, how did it come to this without you realizing you were AGP before?

>>8615856
Not a lot of cis bi women here to confirm this but isn't female to male attraction being focused on how the male makes the female feel fairly normal? The body doing nothing for you is strange but the rest is not.

What is there to discuss? It's the truth. You're mentally ill if you can't accept this.

i believe this, but if somebody says they're nonbinary or whatever i'll play along

>>8615639
Correct, gynephile and androphile.

First for bring back mercury :(

REEEEEEEEEE

First for I hate [that poster you really like]

>I'm on the internet and I need information about rehab clinics.. hmm.. should I do a google search? nah, that's too obvious... I'll get on 4chan and ask a bunch of shut-in trannies instead! I bet they'll know all about it.

>>8614580
I assume you go to a doctor and ask them about detoxing

>>8614738
trannies do the most drugs

...ugh. People watch this stuff?

I mean, I guess they vaguely sort of somewhat mildly touched on the topic and said a few generic mealymouthed good things, but then they buried it with all the 'humor'. I get that humor helps acclimate people to scary things and ultimately that's probably the reason, but damn does so much of it need to be stuff people actually say to us?
