I only tried pills and they didn't really increase my E levels by much, although I could have tried just taking more pills. After switching to shots, in certain my levels rose a ton within a day or two based on how much my mood just suddenly improved (and don't think it was a placebo because I only noticed it because I was confused why my face hurt at the end of work before realizing it was the muscles used for smiling). Also have to take those like twice a day and I'm forgetful (although I was really good about not forgetting my meds when I took hrt pills). Due to my sensitive skin, I don't feel patches would be viable because I'd probably scratch them off. And gels just seemed messy.

But the biggest benefit for me is being able to stockpile. They assume you only use each vial 4 times, but as long as they don't get contaminated, you can use them far longer. If my state decides to get in the way of me getting new doses, it won't effect me for a while. Also means I could share if ever needed, but since I don't know any transfem eggs afaik (although I have my suspicions about a friend I rarely see)

I never did personally. Did just switch to a smaller needle with the most recent shot and it seems better at least (25G->27G). But the benefits of shots make it worth dealing with my discomfort with needles.

How many of those are people who would have just been closeted/eggs 7 years ago?

No one here was the person who decided to make Biden or Kamala the D's candidates. You should go talk to them with these complaints of yours.

Surprisingly, I've actually been good about doing house task-stuff today (technically house project stuff instead of chores, but still counting it). Also its nearly morning, I should be sleeping, not choring.

Given the singer claims they just wrote the song to show off their vocal range, I'm not entirely sure a cis person (or a dense egg) would assume its a coming out thing?

Ime people can vary quite a lot in terms of taking hints. Some might notice from small presentation changes while others you can make some pretty obvious hints on multiple occasions and still get nothing.

My mom. Every time she tries to be transphobic, she can't help saying something like "I want to take T" or "I'd want to transition the other way" or complaining about things like women's fat distribution and ends up accidentally being more affirming than she'd be if she was trying to be artificially supportive. Also, I'm not exaggerating those quotes for comedic effect.

in NYC?

Perhaps the same could be said of all human! /hj

Wild that they are paying so much money to be the test subjects rather than companies just doing it for "free" as they do for a everyone else.

I felt like that too. I thought I felt comfortable with my body (minus unrelated medical issues and being overweight). A lot of trings trans people cared about seemed foreign to me. Turns out I'm far more content with my body with HRT and being my current weight (obese) than I was when I was 30lbs lighter (borderline healthy/overweight). But I never really had a point of comparison since I had always been stuck with my body - I just assumed my feelings were normal and blamed any negative feelings on objectively factual problems with my body. I've come to realize I'm actually really bad at recognizing and understanding my emotions in general. Also, being trans need not be defined by suffering. It can be defined by what bring peace or happiness.

As for what that makes you, only you can figure that out. My experiences are only my own. And trying to make a guess on this based on this comment would be like trying to diagnose someone with ADHD because they said they sometimes forget where they put their keys.

Its still annoying when software won't let you zoom in so you only see like 12 pixels

I sorta feel like there was a significant dropoff after the first generation that included ddr4 and pcie4 unless you specifically except for GPUs if you specifically used the RTX features in terms of real-world performance* in the higher end consumer desktop side. I rarely had issue with my i7-4790k setup and it was a ddr3/pcie3/limited nvme support generation. Only replaced it last year because the mobo died.
