When I called, I was shocked to learn that I was actually ineligible for coverage. My insurance had cut me off, leaving me without support for essential treatments.

Table on #hrt including dosages for a lot of different medication
Most useful thing I found in a while
(when you write a text on hrt, what worked and what didn't for you, please include how much you took! I read countless peoples transition notes, but they didn't include that information)
I just want everyone to know that a potent cocktail of estrogen, progesterone, yoga, and time gave me a butt that will short circuit my own brain if I catch it in the mirror.
#HRT is magiiiiiic!
Happy Trans Day of Visibility everyone!
Since I saw last time some of you posted a transition timeline for the occasion - I thought I'd do the same this year!
They go in order of:
-5 months - pre-egg crack and transition
6 months - post-egg crack and on HRT (also for 6 months).
15 months - current day, on HRT and Laser Hair Removal of beard.
Not the best photos you'll see for a transition timeline... But hey-ho!
Talking about toxic masculinity.
As a trans guy I DREAM of having a beard.
But I also know that my masculinity has nothing to do with it, the same way it has nothing to do with what is -or isn't- between my legs.
Cis guys could learn a thing or two from us in that matter.
A question for my friends who are #trans and/or #menopausal and/or anyone dealing with hormones, #hrt and related supplements. I’m preparing an opt out post on data sovereign period trackers for those who menstruate and would like to include ideas for hormone tracking too. Which apps or systems do you use? What is needed in this space?
Comments or DMs welcome. This post will be deleted in a few days to ensure safety.
(Edit: A note that I appreciate and fully respect that trans people and menopausal people are often (although not always) members of very different groups and I do not wish to confuse populations or identities. In this instance I just want to reach anyone whose everyday expertise requires careful, expert, or experimental management of synthetic or bioidentical hormones. My apologies in advance if this causes any confusion or concern. )
These photos are all taken on the same day over the course of three years.
Trust the process.
Hey any other #intersex or #trans people take birth control pills while of estrogen based #hrt? What was it like? Were there bad side effects? Im thinking it might help with my bad #period symptoms. I dont think my doc would go for it but maybe if i have some other peoples experiences to back me up.
Removing the silicon tapes on my scars this morning, I felt something.
Looking down what do I see? Chest hair!!
Ok, just half a dozen but coming from a pretty hairless family I wasn't even expecting to develop any.
The national ban on Gender Affirming Care hits this week.

if you're #trans or know anyone who is #transgender get yourself/them hooked up with their local community to make sure they can secure access to the meds they need to stay alive.
DM me if you need help with that and from here on in assume any discussion of #GenderAffirmingCare and #HRT is going to be illegal. So only discuss it on end-to-end encrypted channels like Signal.
Here we go!
I keep calling it “boy goo” and all of my loved ones are very upset
