Man, I think the whimsy inside me died. I was in line at midnight to pick up my switch on launch night, but I wasn't even aware the switch 2 had come out.

Do I want to know what Kiwi Farms is?

[–] Kayday@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I'll check it out! Even without being federated, it's good to have a discord alternative. Matrix hasn't been what I need yet, unfortunately.

I had it on in the background and when I looked over to see that I was so confused.

It's not a perfect 1:1, but this is sort of what the movie "Sinners" is about.

Fuckin hell mate, we talked about it for years.

"Unbelievably Stupid Autocracy" maintains the acronym as well

Oh no there's a label with plenty of info, just no brands that I recognize. Here's what it looks like, with anything specific to me or my area obscured.

Ope, I couldn't say for sure. The brand isn't on my prescription bottle as far as I can tell :/

Lots of great responses! My E is from Estradiol, if that helps.

 

Trying hard to trust the process, and while I have seen other expected changes in skin, hair, and mood, I am getting anxious that nothing is happening under my shirt. I had some minor sensitivity within the first two weeks, but never anything painful.

This Friday will be 6 weeks on HRT. 2mg Est, 4mg Prog, 200mg Spiro daily.

Edit: thanks for talking me off the cliff everyone, I'm much less anxious now 😅

Title. Does anyone have advice? I can find jeans long enough no problem, tall options are fine. But anytime I find an appropriate waist measurement (~35") the hip measurement is 7-8" larger than mine.

Edit: to clarify, I would want a little extra in the hips to help give the impression of, well, hips. But 8 extra inches seems excessive.

[Engagement from anyone welcome]

Context, informed consent is a thing here and I will likely be starting HRT in the next month or two. Here is what my thought process has been for the last year since beginning to socially transition, although very slowly.

  • I should buy feminine clothes
  • I don't want to have to buy new clothes once my measurements (hopefully) change from HRT
  • I will wait to buy feminine clothes
  • I should practice makeup
  • Makeup makes dysphoria worse
  • I should start HRT / look into FFS
  • I will wait to practice makeup
  • I should start HRT
  • I haven't earned that; I don't dress or present fem
  • Kick can down the road for HRT

The good news is I called a doctor last week to schedule the appointment! So things are progressing. Just wanted to see if any guys, gals, or pals have had a similar experience with their transition, or seen someone else go through that.
