DAE have better results taking prog orally? in c/mtf@lemmy.blahaj.zone
[–] Kayday@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I've read quite a bit of the estrogen/ anti-androgen sections, but apparently nowhere near enough of the progestogen topics.

Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to explain this. I have my checkup later this month and will make sure to let them know I want to switch my meds.
I thought I was reasonably well read on HRT, but this is a whole new area I know very little about. Thankful for people like you <3

Okay, my prescription is a 5mg oral tablet every day. This article is talking about 200+ mg orally to be effective, or 100mg rectally. Why in the world would my prescription be so low??
Also:

Administration of oral micronized progesterone capsules rectally instead of orally likewise may be effective and may achieve much higher progesterone levels than oral administration. However, rectal administration of oral progesterone capsules has not been formally studied.

Am I wasting money having 5mg per day orally? Would have been nice to know 6 months ago when I started.

[–] Kayday@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Wow, rude.

First of all, I think violence is an appropriate response. That doesn't mean I have to wish there was more of it. Is it going to be necessary? Almost certainly. But anyone who wants violence should take a long hard look at themselves.

Civil war would lead to starvation, infanticide, rape, and other atrocities. Are horrible things already happening? Obviously. Do you really think there is something "wrong" with someone who doesn't get off to the idea of more suffering?

We probably agree about more than we disagree, and I don't think anything I said warrants such hostility. That's all I'll say.

Fascist tyranny, but I wouldn't consider it war.

Possibly? Maybe he slept with the shooter's wife.

I'm aware of the paradox, and that it wasn't high caliber ideas in the 2nd world war that defeated Nazis, but rather bullets.
Regardless of the sentiments going around, the US is not currently at war with itself. I would rather not get to that point if it can be helped. Call me naive, but I think civil war can still be avoided.

I believe the world is better without this man.

I wish he hadn't been shot. Empathy (and self preservation) make me think of the similar and likely situation of a trans person being murdered because of their perceived ideology.

I don't want to live in a place where people are killed for their beliefs.

[MTF's on HRT Pls Respond] How unusual is it for no nipple soreness or breast bud development at almost 6 weeks of HRT? (lemmy.world)

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.

Trump wants US to take ownership of Gaza and redevelop it after Palestinians are resettled elsewhere (apnews.com)
 

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Tuesday he wants the U.S. to take ownership of the Gaza Strip and redevelop it after Palestinians are resettled elsewhere.
“We will own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site,” Trump said a start of a joint news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Trump signs executive order aimed at curtailing gender transitions for everyone under 19 (apnews.com)
 

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order aimed at curtailing gender transitions for people under age 19.
“It is the policy of the United States that it will not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called ‘transition’ of a child from one sex to another, and it will rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures,” Trump said in a statement.

House passes immigrant detention bill that would be Trump’s first law to sign (apnews.com)
 

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House on Wednesday gave final approval to a bill that requires the detainment of unauthorized immigrants accused of theft and violent crimes, marking the first legislation that President Donald Trump can sign as Congress, with some bipartisan support, swiftly moved in line with his plans to crackdown on illegal immigration.

I am not sure what this bill actually changes. Do we not already detain anyone accused of theft or violent crimes? How would them being an unauthorized migrant even be a known factor unless they have already been detained?

It will certainly embolden some people to snitch, which is likely the intention.
