If this thread dies before bump limit it's the last one edition.

Intended to be a no-trips allowed version of /mtfg/.
This is to keep the drama low, and let anonymous people be heard, as well as to avoid the erp/rp that goes on.

It's open for everyone, just behave.

>No trips (or names)
>No avatar fagging
>No erp/rp-ing
>No calling out on trips (or names)
>No "pre-everything" "evaluate me" pics (don't respond to them)

>it's another episode of "if I'd had a female puberty I wouldn't be on 4chan"
>>
>>8017439
that just depends on how female minded a transgirl is. straight transgirls are more feminine, so they aren't on 4chan.
>>
>>8017474
But I'm a straight transgirl... Like, I guess I'm a tomboy but still...
>>
>>8017439
why didn't you transition at 12 and gone through puberty at the same time as your peers?
>>
>>8017588
it's a generalization. but you'll notice most here are bi at the straightest.
>>
>>8017649
Because I was dumb and thought that tomboys just wanted be boys anyway so I thought I'd be fine...
>>8017660
I guess, does it count if I COULD date a woman if we were compatible but prefer men in every way?
>>
>>8017855
Describe the physical appeal of men and women? For what other reasons do you prefer men, besides the physical?
>>
>>8017855
at what age did you end up transitioning? how long? do you pass? if not, do you think you will?
>>
>>8017987
Okay...
>Men
Strong (not all men, but test still makes them stronger on average)
Stubble (when you're little spoon and he's kisses you neck is a feeling beyond dfescription)
Chest hair (lying on his chest and playing with it, so great)
The way they smell, they way they feel pressed up against you, that masculine hardness to your feminine softness all make me swoon.

>Women
They look nice? I dunno, nothing really. I just envy them I guess.

>Men (non-physical)
Assertive, know what they want and express it without prompting, takes the lead when I'm feeling uncertain. Won't play into my pity parties; will be sympathetic but firm. Will stand up for me and defend me. Doing outdoorsy things and fixing stuff while I assist (I'm not good at this stuff but I really enjoy it)

>Women (non-physical)
Deeper emotional bond, better emotional understanding... uh, I don't really know, I guess if it felt right it'd be okay? I think I'd struggle in an LTR with a woman.

>>8018091
>at what age did you end up transitioning?
25, dumb insular kid born in 1990 so I always thought trans = disgusting transvestite and never pursued anything, just bottled up my dysphoria and hoped it was something else, heard about HRT and started as quickly as possible (legal route).
>how long?
<6months, baby trans
>do you pass?
No, and I don't think I ever will. I know it's early still but I'm 178cm, my shoulders are huge, ribs large and hips/waist tiny. My face is okayish, my hands and feet are okay given my height and my bone structure is twiggy lankdog alien, so at least I'll be twinkhon and not honster
>>
>>8018172
>that masculine hardness to your feminine softness all make me swoon.
hot

>Doing outdoorsy things and fixing stuff while I assist (I'm not good at this stuff but I really enjoy it)
What sort of stuff? How would you assist?

>Deeper emotional bond, better emotional understanding...
How so, for both of these?

>I think I'd struggle in an LTR with a woman.
Because she wouldn't act in the manner you described for men (non-physical)?

I think you can be considered straight, as much as the typical cis women is at least.
>>
Tranny bitches are awesome. Not too mention fabulous. If anyone tells you different, they are wrong. Xx
>>
>>8018352
>What sort of stuff? How would you assist?
"pass me x tool, hold x here" that sort of thing plus hiking and camping and playing with fire. And cars, fast ones
>How so, for both of these?
I don't really know... I was trying to give an answer where I didn't have one, I guess
>Because she wouldn't act in the manner you described for men (non-physical)?
I guess so, I can be really passive aggressive and stubborn too so I'd probably piss them off whereas a man would be more likely to shrug it off. Obviously this is a generalisation but whatever.

I've been on HRT for a year, and for most of that time my libido has been really low. I often went for weeks and sometimes months without masturbating because I didn't feel the desire to do it.
Some time ago my libido slowly started to return, but there is a problem. When I'm getting erect, after a certain point it starts to hurt. The more erect I get, the stronger the pain becomes. When I'm fully erect, it feels like my penis is gonna be torn apart.
I'm uncut if that matters.
Since it's an SFW board, I used imgur and a picture of a dildo to show where it hurts: http://i.imgur.com/05PJ8RR.jpg
>>
>>8021074
ouch
>>
>>8021074
That area is the frenulum, which connects the foreskin to the rest of the penis. If the HRT shrunk it that would explain the pain when erections stretch it.
>>
>>8021074
Your penis probably atrophied slightly when your libido was so low; not using it for a while made the tissue there less pliable, harder to stretch during erections.
Take things slowly, try to get yourself to be as erect as you can without too much pain as often as you can to reacclimate the skin to stretching.
If it ends up really hurting, though, you should probably see a doctor.
>>
>>8015917
Are you supposed to look uglier under direct light from overhead (especially angled toward the front)? It casts hideous shadows across my face. Do cis people have this problem, too?
>>
>>8017439
If I was a ciswoman I'd have still been on 4chan, maybe even earlier cause I'd still be an introvert and I'd have been more isolated
>>
>>8021074
Your dick shrunk
Two options get more erections to stretch it back out or just don't bother with it for longer
Personally I just stopped being bothered with it all together and after about two years hrt I could get an erectuon that didn't hurt but my Dick was also significantly smaller I think
>>
>>8026637
>my Dick was also significantly smaller
Do you plan to get SRS eventually?
Wouldn't it be better to keep it as close to the pre-HRT size as possible then? So there will be more tissue for the surgeon to work with,
>>
>>8026620
Pretty sure they do, it gets even worse if you have glasses.

>Still no decent voice, SRS or good enough boobs
My makeup is still kinda shitty too but idk, I feel like I'm going to have to put my social life on hiatus for at least another 2 years at best. I was kinda expecting it but it still kinda leaves me feeling useless.
>>
>>8031371
this right here
I recommend opiate painkillers, they'll often killed my dysphoria to the point where if I'm high enough I think I could be okay being a feminine male
>>

ust found one of my notebooks from a couple weeks back. Apparently I write long, ranty stuff when I get depressed.

>I’m convinced that transgender issues are a harmful way of thinking, that transition is pushing the limits of what should be allowed in body modification, that its results are uncertain and will never be able to truly “change” one’s gender, and that there has to be a way of giving up with that sort of thinking. On the other hand, I have been having those thought almost constantly for the last few years and hope that transition could genuinely improve my body image and self esteem, and feel equally distressed at the thought of transitioning and of not transitioning. What the fuck do I even want? We live in a society where we are taught that whatever gender you are born with makes the slightest bit of difference. What I need to do is to forget that.

Am I even recoverable or is my cognitive dissonance too big to be fixed?

>>8036373
i'm guessing part of why you started using painkillers is ease of access/legality, so I might recommend dxm. it's a very nice dissociative psych that can be bought in many convenience stores as cough syrup, I'd look into doing some research on it. just make sure what you buy ONLY has dxm in it
>>
>>8036466
I thought about it a few years back but I look like a degenerate so asking for anything specific (like trying to get cold and flu with ephedrine when sick af) involves too much tedious judgement. I dunno, I think I'd rather just handle life instead and have some on hand when everything gets too heavy.

You start to get dependency symptoms very quickly. I had to have surgeries on my feet a couple years ago, was prescribed Norco (hydrocodone). Even after taking them as prescribed by the doctor, when I was finished taking them I had some nasty withdrawal side-effects for a couple days. Nausea, shaking, chills, insomnia, etc. It was horrible. Lots of people get hooked on the shit after using it for legit reasons. And those side effects are fucking nasty.
>>
>>8046947
That's sounds pretty shitty, Anon. I dunno, I'm well aware of the dependency issues as well as withdrawals (thanks, Trainspotting!) so I only do it every 2-3 days (about 60-90mg of codiene) when dysphoria gets too heavy to try and avoid it becoming a massive problem. I'm going to see if I can get Travelcalm instead though

Forget that you were born in the transphobic era of 1990, and pretend you were born in a later time like 1998. It will help you be more accepting. Listen to the trans friendly ideologies that highschool kids now have.

Yeah, it's very emotional.
I think a part of the lesbian feminism was cut out of this movie... I remember, last time I watched it, They talked about how they had surrounded the studio, and Candy was afraid to leave, or something like that.

But anyway, Candy is the best inspriation, and would've, at least to me, made such a huge difference had I known about her as a child.

I hope your friend was supportive. Did the talk go well?

Yes, I was always a "femboy", so to say, so neither him or another person who I talked with after were very surprised at all.
He even offered to start referring to me as a she at least in private if that makes me feel better ...it did make me feel good.

Heya,
I have great life, married my best friend (mtf) last year. We have a happy life, anything is kinda purrfect. She is working, I am at home, mostly doing nothing. I am offical unable to work, but intend to maybe work for the state because they hire retarded people even if they are stupid, just to met the quota.
what to do aggainst feeling boring?
>>
>>8060783
That sounds really depressing, if I looked like that I would kill myself
>>
>>8060783
>I am offical unable to work,
Why?
>>
>>8060823
I got diagnosed with autismn, and the state didnt really think I could work, because of to many problems with living alone, and social life.

>tfw coworker said im very tomboyish and easy to get along with (he doesn't know im trans)
who here /maletotomboy/
>>
>>8061993
most changes will not reverse in two weeks. I understand it's a really awful feeling to be without hrt but you have to try to work past the fear and be realistic. if you get surgery in the future the doctor will probably ask you to stop hrt for a while before the surgery (they want to be as careful as possible). none of the other trans women who had to stop hrt for a few weeks had their changes reverse and neither will you.

For the people who take cypro, how did you deal with the weight gain? I've gained like 5 pounds so far from it (at least I think it is, because it started a little after starting cypro), I'm still not fat but I don't want to go up much more.

why have these threads been so dead lately?
>>
I'm 26.
For the longest time I liked being treated as a girl, seeing myself as a girl and so on. Roleplaying, online games, forums, etc.
At the time, I didn't even knew being trans was a thing.
For as far as I can remember I always felt like "a girl inside a boy's body"
After years, I got "accustomed" to my body, to the point I'm confortable being physically male, to some extent(I shave body hair, for instance)
50% of the time I'm ok the way I am, the other half, I feel that I should take the leap and transition.
Whenever I think about all I'd have to go through, I get discouraged.
Anyone here feels/felt like this? I don't eben know where to look for help or like minded people to talk about it.

The agpg threads here are about it. There's blogs too but ask in agpg for the links.

Agp doesn't automatically mean you should or shouldn't transition. That depends on how ok your life will be either way. There are some posts in >>7985923 about it.

Anybody else has never been their target gender in dreams?
>>
>>8086249
you mean you have never been female in your dreams?
my dreams are always very surreal and sometimes very dark and grotesque but usually just completely nonsensical
but usually in my dreams i am just like exactly how i am irl
if i get lucid, i usually try to change things though
>>
>>8086272
>you mean you have never been female in your dreams?
Yeah that's what I mean.
So you're saying you only dreamt of yourself as a girl after transitioning? Or am I misreading that?
Trying to assess whether I'm really even dysphoric or not.
>>
>>8086249
My dreams are all relatively realistic and consist of me being bullied about being a tranny or just because I'm a failure
>>
>>8086304
yea, i am usually exactly how i am irl in my dreams
like i would be me in my dream, and have dysphoria in my dreams and look how i look irl and everything

>but if i went lucid, i would usually be like "fuck this shit, i can finally be cis" and then be a cis girl until i wake up and cry
That's beautiful anon
Any tips to learn lucid dreaming or did it come naturally?
>>
>>8086249
I haven't quite been, I can't recall being a cis girl at least.

Plenty of time I've been in transitional stages though, and basically tried to live as female in them.
Like actually being full time, but there's always been issues in the dream, like I have friends from when I were male, or parents/siblings, that makes it a pain.

Don't believe in that "I'm fully female all the time in every dream since I started transition/I was always a girl in my dreams even when I weren't transitioning".
You dream about things from your current standpoint, if you don't live full time, and live as your "target sex", you likely won't dream from that perspective.
>>
>>8086452
it sorta is a luck thing, but you can totally train yourself to have them a lot more frequently
i used to do exercises to make them more likely to happen, and there is also techniques to fall asleep but keep your mind awake, i did that too sometimes, very very surreal
then you just go straight into a dream
just search lucid dreaming techniques, you will find lots of info all over the place, thats what i did

It wasn't a waste if you learned and did other things, never mind not transitioning.

Why did you wait? How old are you now?
>>
>>8088457
>>8088491
Like 3 years to get hormones (health care), 2 years after that ffs (from parents), and trying to get rid of facial hair, and now another 2.5 years I might finally be getting rid of facial hair (health care).
27 now.

By the time I even figured out that trans existed, and wasn't an extreme transvestitic fetish, I was pretty much "apathetic already.
Not done anything during the time, it's just waiting, and there wasn't anything I would even want to do during those times, as everything I want to do requires near complete transition.

It's terrible how low your quality of life is when you're trans, hope that the shit ends up being worth it in the end.
As for now, you're better off killing yourself at 8, than to keep going and later on transition that might never complete.
>>
>>8088579
>everything I want to do requires near complete transition.
Why?

Why wasn't there anything you could want for that time you weren't transitioning?
>>
>>8088579
could practice voice, learn makeup
>>
>>8088590
Can't have a boyfriend, or like I guess look good as a girl, so there really wasn't anything to do.

Do things to spend time (which can be reasonably fun too, but obviously "empty"), make sure you don't draw attention, keep going as your life is an obligation to your parents.

>>8088619
Yeah voice, but that isn't anything fun.
Makeup is practically impossible when you grow facial hair, even if it can be applied, it looks terrible.

>>
>>8089953
I always wanted to love weed but it made me feel worse like paranoid around people and just heightened my dysphoria. Now I'm a little better after hormones I'm a little more happier than I was and now it feels a bit better, but I still hate when you get too high and it's not enjoyable at all anymore so I don't do it often even though it's legal here.

Try ordering some HRT online, doing that took alot of the fear away since basically no one would know I was doing it. I was far too scared to see a therapist about it because of how scared of being judged I am.

It took my friend 7 years to start hormones because she just had every excuse in the book. She started 1 month ago because a girl started liking her and pushed her to start. They broke up already but since she's on hormones now she's just so much happier it's like night and day
>>
>>8092770
If you live in europe it's not easier, it takes years to get hormones legally.
You'll have to figure out how to order them online... I'm guessing like netherlands? Last I heard, you can expect at least 5 years wait time.

I think you have to order them to a PO box in a different country, then travel to that country to pick them up, and then go home again.

>>8092697
>just because it's not fun doesn't mean it's gonna get more fun later.
No, exactly... So why am I supposed to be happy to be able to use my voice?
I've been going to voice therapist for a couple of years now, primarily because of other voice disorder.

>if facial hair is a problem hormones aren't gonna get rid of that, start getting laser now
What the hell do you think I'm trying to get?
I can't pay for electrolysis myself, it's around €8k.
Getting it through the health care takes a very long time, unless you live in the right place.

>you probably can and even if you can't there's not really any repercussions even if you do get caught if it's not allowed

I'm from Argentina. The PO box method sounds promising.
>>
>>8092895
Argentinian anon here. I literally just buy my hormones in a pharmacy without any prescription. No questions asked.

>hello do you have Ronfase (oral estradiol valerate brand)
if they don't have it, ask if they can get it soon, leave some money if they ask, etcetera

I literally buy cyproterone acetate here without prescription, not even shitting you

It's expensive as fuck though, and if you go the legal way they are literally free, even though endos here don't know shit and they are going to put you in super low dosages because this country is a shithole, but it's still the prefered method I guess
>>
>>8093772
How expensive are we talking? On a monthly basis.
>>
>>8093832
Let's see.
A box of Ronfase comes with 30 pills of 2mg and the price right now is something along the lines or $150-$200 (always speaking in argentinian pesos), and a box of Androcur (which is what I'm taking right now) is around $1700, but they are 50 pills of 50mg each.

In my case, I take 2 pills of 2mg estrogen and half a pill of cypro, so 25mg.

So per month I would be using 2 Ronfase boxes and 30% of my cypro box.

Total per month then would be around $800 pesos, more or less depending on where you buy and if prices keep inflating or not.

Balding will stop, and you will sloooowly get a bit better. Hairline is very hard to recover, will probably need to add dutasteride to the regimen for that. Scalp is a bit easier to recover.

on week three of hrt and slight tingling in upper chest region, nips a bit larger, and moods improved drastically.
i was wondering though how normal is it for hrt to like hit you in the face. like before i started i was convinced id never come close to passing, but it hit my face hard, at this rate ill be 100% androgynous within a month or two. ive even gotten a few comments from relatives about it.

is duta expensive without insurance? i-is hairline recovery real or just a super rare thing i shouldnt expect at all

i think im on my way to 3 so in between 2 and 3.... :\ ive been noticing my hair is getting harder and harder to make not look autistic
>>
>>8096946
Finasteride is cheaper if money is an issue. Also consider getting minoxidil 5% for hair regrowth. Eventually after you're one hrt long enough, the standard AAs should be enough to replace dutasteride or finasteride.
>>
>>8096946
I think it is. I'm not sure. But if you can't afford it just get finasteride, maybe it's not as strong as dutasteride and doesn't affect the hairline much but it's better than nothing.
Your hair will look better regardless because of the HRT, don't worry too much, you can hide the hairline easily with long hair, I'm norwood 2
>>
>>8096967
>minoxidil
i heard minoxidil gives people wrinkles though :\
i can replace fin or duta with an AA? would i still get eventual regrowth with that or do i need duta? i really want as much regrowth as possible, im in between II and III on that hair chart and i really hope i can regrow a chunk missing in the very middle of my hairline

>>8096967

When does hairline begin to recede? Or better yet, when does the male hairline begin to visibly diverge from the female hairline?
>>
>>8096977
Yes, spironolactone and cyproterone will also block DHT, although they're not as potent in the beginning afaik
>>
>>8096987
That's different for everyone. Some people recede at 14, others at 30 and others never.
And some others just lose their scalp hair without having a receded hairline.
>>
>>8096998
would hrt alone give any hairline recovery?
>>8097000
>started receding around 14
its not fair, my brother in law is 30 and he has an adolescent hairline


is hairline regrowth common enough of a thing to make it a goal? or is it just a 'pray to god im lucky' kind of thing
:\
>>
>>8097014
It is common to recover a bit over the years, yes. Just don't expect to get your hairline from when you were 14
>>
>>8097014
>would hrt alone give any hairline recovery?
Yes
>is it just a 'pray to god im lucky' kind of thing
Also yes. There's a reason why hairline advancement procedures are so common among MtFs. Sometimes your follicules might still be alive and start growing hair again. Other times they're dead and gone. So while I wouldn't espect it, especially if you're older, it's certainly possible.
>>
>>8097031
Expect*, sorry
>>
>>8097025
>>8097031
so assuming ones folicles are dead.....
does that mean certain hairstyles are just off limits forever?

>>8097051
Unfortunately, yes, it means you have to wear your hair appropriately. In your case, you'll probably need bangs. It's one of the reasons why transitioning in your teens is so important, since your hairline could get fucked up permanently. Don't give up hope, though. Miracles do happen.
>>
>>8097099
>t means you have to wear your hair appropriately. In your case, you'll probably need bangs.
:/ ive been trying to think of what 'appropriate' means...

i have bangs but they come from the middle of my head and give it a weird shape, and either splinter a lot or seperate at my sideburns exposing the fact im balding...
i-i dunno what appropriate would be.. should i keep trying to hide it or just shave my head :\
>>
a-are extensions for the hairline a thing? im missing a spot in the middle of my hairline and my sideburns/temples are thinning... are the extensions or something that could fill in places that arent super badly receded? hairline looks kind of like a bracket in that it would be a straight line if the middle wasnt moving up..
{
>>
>>8096967
Does minoxidil regrow hairline? I thought they had a disclaimer that it was only for the scalp, and you needed to keep using it or the regrown hair would fall out. I heard stuff about wrinkles, too..
>>
how do you get chemically castrated, and does that kill dht?

Does that go for all AAs, and for castrated people?

I really dont wanna encounter horrific pain when I get a boner and I don't really want my dick dead so I can still use it for my partner
>>
>>8100584
How are you supposed to fap every day when you're taking sex drive killing hormones? I don't even fap every day now.
>>
>>8100600
s/hormones/blockers

Yada yada
>>
>>8100593
im not sure how it works for castrated people
so... maybe?

for AAs I'm pretty sure spiro isn't that strong so you'll be fine even if you dont jack off everday, and bica doesn't even affect it

>>8100600
I dunno, I'm pretty sure I can fap like right now if I needed
it's like i can control my libido

before hormones i used to masturbate like 4 times a day, might be because I don't really have genital dysphoria
>>
>>8100527
i know that injecting high percentage alcohol like ever clear into your scrotum will kill your balls
>>
>>8100584
>>8100600

>>
>>8100593
>I don't really want my dick dead so I can still use it for my partner
Once hormones fill you with the overwhelming desire to have a real man's cock filling you up you'll no longer have a girl as a partner so this won't be an issue.
>>
>>8100608
>for AAs I'm pretty sure spiro isn't that strong so you'll be fine even if you dont jack off everday, and bica doesn't even affect it

That sounds concerning though, does that mean Spiro and bica suck as an AA?

How do AA's work anyway, what makes one AA better than another?

Bica and Spiro will both eventually kill my T and DHT right?
>>
>>8100613
They're kinda connected ya know. This isn't a very realistic wish. The hentai combination of a sexy futa with a huge throbbing cock and fat distributed in all the right places isn't very realistic. Realistically the more of a woman you become the less of a man you'll be down there.
>>
>>8100613
that's a lie, there's a lot of transgirls who had orchi who can still use their dicks

>>8100619
spiro does sort of suck, it's just a diuretic with a side effect of decreasing testosterone, i've been on it for some months and having to avoid bananas was suffering (because you might overdose potassium if you take a diuretic)

I mean, it works just as fine for non-european transgirls since that's what their endos give to them, but cypro is just the superior option although it's a lot more potent and permanent

Bica is relatively new for this, it doesn't reduce your testosterone, it just makes it useless, so your T levels will be the same and it's hard to get track of when taking blood tests, but it's been proved to work fine anyway with the plus and leaving your dick and balls intact.

It's great to have that option, I just don't take it because I want a feminine dick and all you know
>>
>>8100637
>

Thank you for the info
>bica doesn't reduce your T, just makes it useless

Umm does that mean going on HRT with bica as an AA would kill/stop/make DHT useless and stop MPB?

I would get on cypro if it didn't kill my dick so bad, and if it was easier on my liver...
>>
Are you more likely to pee the bed on HRT with certain AAs like cypro?

Asking because I know AA's can make it harder to get boners and pissing the bed is a concern of mine since I get up to pee a lot already in the middle of the night, and I wake up with boners a lot because my body's trying to make me not piss myself.

If I were to go on HRT, would I stop getting those 'dont piss yourself' erections?
>>
>>8100653
>Umm does that mean going on HRT with bica as an AA would kill/stop/make DHT useless and stop MPB?
That's the same question I had back when I was like you and I thought I wanted to have a functional dick
I never got my answer unfortunately

>>8100674
most likely yes, and I wake up at night sometimes to pee
never peed myself though
>>
>>8100674
Not cypro so much as spiro. On 300 mg spiro I had bad issues with this
>>
>>8100686
That's weird, I'd have thought cypro the most likely to cause that...
How did you handle it? Did it just stop on its own or did you switch meds/dosages?

>>8100682
>That's the same question I had back when I was like you and I thought I wanted to have a functional dick
I never got my answer unfortunately

I REALLY need to find out. The kicker for me is something that doesn't totally break my dick, hopefully doesn't make me piss myself, and stops MPB.
>>
>>8100693
Spiro is a potassium-sparing diuretic

I handled it with diapers mostly :\
>>
>>8100693
You know I'd just take spiro or cypro.

I'm in 50mg cypro without masturbating and I still get erections when im not careful, so I imagine with spiro+using it sometimes it just won't die at all

but yeah its your decision, you can always stop the medication if you think something's up, it's all reversible as long as you don't take it 5 months straight you know
>>
>>8100713
> you can always stop the medication if you think something's up, it's all reversible as long as you don't take it 5 months straight you know
I didn't know that

I just want my balls dead, my hair to stop falling out, my dick working and hopefully I won't have to deal with pissing myself?
>>
>>8100723
Well on spiro you are gonna damn well pee every 30 minutes at least at the start until your body gets used to it, but I don't know about peeing yourself

note the part about getting used to it, after like 2 months of spiro I just was peeing normally
>>
>>8100729
hmmm
i could cope if my body gets used to it, but what ha s me concerned is pissing myself because i can't get a boner while asleep. not morning wood, but like, biological 'prevent you from peeing yourself every night' boners.

i really don't wanna piss on my partner and if i can avoid it, not wear diapers

It's a myth that shaving will lead to thicker hair. Shave away. Epilation is best, though it hurts a lot at first.
>>
>>8107562
You can limit the hurt a lot by simply shaving first, and then epilating every day until you've managed to pluck every hair. It mostly only hurt when you end up grabbing loads of hairs at once.

Against the grain increases chance of bumps and ingrown hair.

Anyone at all experience hip growth? Just turned 24, been on hrt for over a year and people are telling me I haven't missed the boat yet. Just not sure if I should get my expectations up but also I've never seen solid evidence of anyone that started in their 20s getting anything.
>>
>>8109021
Take into account that hormones also help in reducing waist size and making hips look bigger in comparison. But if your problem is shoulder to hip ratio that's going to be hard desu
>>
>>8109021
I started at 20 and haven't noticed any growth. Despite that, my endo keeps asking me if I've experienced any, so it probably does happen to people in their 20s sometimes.
>>
>>8108887
the point to orchi is so you don't have to take blockers anymore. if you don't have enough t taking a low dose is completely fine, it helps with energy and mood and whatever. ask your endo about it.

Oops, forgot to mention I'm 5'11". Be straight with me. Do I have any hope of passing?
>>
>>8111570
sounds very bad to me, but not unpassable, just need to work on clothing and such that emphasise your good stuff and hide others
no examples because i dont know fashion
>>
>>8113134
>>8111570
Some examples would be to avoid narrow strapped tops, wearing a dark top and light bottom, and avoiding stripes. Also avoid frilly or patterned shoulders. For the bottom, flared skirts are great.

Also, if you just started or haven't started HRT, your shoulders can decrease in width due to loss of muscle (even twig men have much more muscle there than women do). But I wouldn't expect it to go down by more than an inch if you're skinny. So that's pretty bad. You have hope, though!

And keep in mind that if you're not done growing yet, you can still get some hip growth to hopefully even it up.

weed is much cheaper than alcohol though and doesn't fuck up your throat like cigarettes do

Have you ever drank>? A handle of vodka is 10 dollars and that's good enough t o get me hammered for days. Edibles are nto evern an option because Ilive with my sister.
>>
>>8115400
i smoke extracts, very smooth on the throat, also there are vaporizers, depending on the quality of the one you buy, they can be very potent while still being incredibly smooth
and weed isn't that expensive, at least here it isn't

is mara a weird name? especially in the us?

43cm shoulders "anon ur gonna be a hon xd" compare them my mother's(she's about tall as me) and they're the same, same goes to the skull size idiots sizes should be compared to the same sized people, obviously i'm not gonna have shoulders like a 160cm womanlet.
>>
>>8115480

if it feels right, do it

did everyone have tits at 3 months hrt? is this a sign that they'll only get bigger further down the line? I'm only in like 2mg of estrogen rn but I've also got an a cup, is there more to come whenever I up to 4mg?
>>
>>8118048
I did. 10 months now and I measure B cup, although that still feels too tight on me whereas my sister's C cup feels better.

Alcohol fucks the HRT's effectiveness so you're only wasting your money on hormones
>>
>tfw your boyfriend finally admits he's a manipulative chaser
It was only a matter of time
>>
Tourist here. I'm just curious but how did your sex drive change after going on hormones? As a casual observer it seems like some transgirls are basically some like being bottoms, some like topping, and some hate anal and are basically celibate. Also, is anyone here post-op? If so, did your sex drive change further after the operation?
>>
>>8118351
Lol sorry but not a single real trans girl wants to "top". Also sex drive doesn't change much unless you had a lot of testosterone before starting hrt
>>
>>8118371

Most of the tops I've seen is on porn and some trans escorts instagram/tumblr pages, so it's undoubtedly a skewed view. But how do some seem to top hard and often? Is it just for the money?
>>
>>8118266

That was far more compelling than liver damage honestly.
>>
>>8118388
Most porn trannies aren't transwoman, they are just shemales. Most of them don't even take hormones.
>>
>>8118432

Really? Some of them look very passable, even as good or better looking than cis women. Is it just plastic surgery?
>>
>>8118458
yep
some of them do take hormones though
>>
>>8118596

Thanks.

Sometimes, I think we should make plastic surgery free (yes, I know it would be paid by tax dollars but you know what I mean) for all. People get to feel better about their bodies and everyone else gets hotter sextoys to fuck. It's a win-win situation.
>>
>>8118371
>not a single real trans girl wants to "top".
this. i see myself as a bottom even with females

>>8118458
i think it's really easy to notice them, i guess this is why it's so easy to pass to cis people
>>
>>8118622

Brazil does this to an extent hence the massive amount of big titted and giant ass cis women and very passable transwomen

Are giant silicon boobs still going to be "hot" when everyone has them?

It would just be a see-saw between giant tit monsters and delicious flat chest. Win-win either way.

Who knows. Maybe in a few years scientists will come up with adjustable breast implants.

I'm at 10 months hrt and had an appointment with my endo last week. He asked if my facial hair, body hair, and breast growth were fine. I told him things seem ok for now and as such he chose not to up my doses and kept them at 100mg.

He scheduled our next appointment for 6 months, before this we saw each other every 3 months. Is this okay? 100mg seems like a kinda low does and I'm realizing now that I'm gonna be on this for at least half a year. I'm 19 currently and I'll be a month into 20 by the time of the appointment. Am I worrying over nothing? Should I do something? What should I do and how?
>>
>>8118812

Tourist here again: what's the reason for not giving a massive dose from the beginning and then on? Why 100mg instead of 1,000mg right off the bat?
>>
>>8118812
What are your blood tests showing? 100 potentially could be fine, but you gotta see what your T is to know
>>
>>8118812
100mg of what?
>>
>>8118826
Your body needs time to adjust, just like with any other medicine. And it's generally safer (and cheaper) to give you a small dose then raise as needed rather than give you a large does then lower as needed.

>>8118827
I've never actually seen my blood results. Should I call the clinic and ask for it to be mailed to me or something?

>>8118845
My bad, I don't know how I didn't mention it. It's spiro. I'm also on 2mg estradiol.
>>
>>8118854
>I've never actually seen my blood results
> I'm also on 2mg estradiol.

GET YOUR RESULTS. That is low as FUCK.
>>
>>8118854
Thats pretty low for 10 months, but I'd have to know what your levels are to be sure. The standard dose of spiro is 200mg, depending on ur levels, 100mg might be enough, same goes for estradiol. Don't up your dose without your doctor's say. Because your levels might be fine the way they are. Next time you get your blood work done ask your doctor for your levels and if you're still worried then post here when u have them
>>
>>8118284
at least he is honest
>>
>>8118284
How do you feel about this? What's the story, anon?

T-minus 3 days until my parents lose their son. They told me they're really worried about me, especially because I've told them I'm depressed but refused to give them a reason. Pretty much 50/50 chances on them taking it well. I'm really nervous desu.
>>
>>8119419
yikes
>>
>>8119419
I'm sure you mean coming out to them right? I'm a bit of an idiot
>>
>>8119668
Yeah. They kind of confronted me last night about how it wasn't fair that they support me in every way and yet I couldn't tell them why I was depressed and needed therapy. I realized they have a point and they aren't just gonna keep letting it go, so I'm moving my "big reveal" up a few months. I was hoping to already be on HRT and start socially transitioning before I had to do this, but them's the brakes.
>>
>>8119015
well he just did the usual manipulative chaser shit like pretending he wasnt interested in trans girls before me, etc. I don't really care all that much that he's into trans girls, just upset me that he lied to me a bunch
>>
>>8119894
how did you meet? do you pass? how did he know you were trans at first?

honestly, i would break up with him for lying to you like that.
>>
>>8119921
we met on a dating site, I pretty much disclosed I was trans on there, I pass.
i'd probably break up with him if he weren't one of the only things keeping me together rn
>>
>>8118873
>>8118909
Holy shit. I checked the results online and the only they time they actually tested for hormones was on the second visit, at 3 months, where I had normal to low end male levels of T. And they didn't even test for estradiol or progesterone at all, just T and globulin. Every blood test since then has just been nutritional stuff like cholesterol, sodium, glucose, etc, no sex hormone testing at all.

Should I get a new doctor? I'm certainly fucking mad.
>>
>>8120877
New doc or just order meds online in the meantime
>>
>>8120877
you should probably up your spiro to 200mg/day
a new doctor would be best, lots of doctors don't know anything about this shit. you might be able to increase your estradiol too, but i'd be more careful with it.
>>
May move back to my natal third world country in a few months from Canada, I honestly don't know how it makes me feel, on one side I feel hopeless because it means that I will take longer to get out of boymode (if at all) and get more discriminated against in general. On the other I'm kinda happy because it means I will be able to get an university degree (could even go up to a Master's or PHD) and I will be close to my (accepting so far) family and friends, I don't know, I'm kinda hopeful about it, even tho I probably shouldn't be.
>>
>>8120940
I'm going to contact him and see what happens. Failing that I'll get someone else.

>>8120991
Funny thing is that he's told be that he's treated trans people before. I definitely hope they didn't have these issues too.
>>
>>8121270
they probably do. the doctor I go to is the only doctor that ppl in my city go to for hrt, and he prescribed my estrogen to be taken all at once once a day when it is common practice to split your dose for the morning and night. and I'm sure that he prescribes it the same (incorrectly) for every other patient. trans ppl need to do the research themselves in order to get the best treatment bcuz doctors aren't trained well enough if at all
>>
>>8121432

It depends on what estrogen it is. Valerate you can just swallow all at once because it lasts longer.
>>
>>8121230
What country? Being third world doesn't necessarily means that it's too unnaccepting of trannies
>>
>>8121689
Mexico, I'm not going to get curbstomped or anything, but I would be going to the university where most of my high school generation probably went to and I dunno, I can already see them calling me a faggot and all that.
