Sending this to my practical effects loving friends immediately

No, just the way you phrased everything sounded off and weird. Like it’s so very easy to not care about this issue and you show up and you cast doubt on people for no real reason, calling them disingenuous when you honestly you have no way to know. It was just such a tacked on and accusatory line.

Like yeah these memes if you can even call them that are very specific to this person, but all we have to do is not care and move on.

Imagine if drag is just a bit odd but being sincere, and they receive all these comments on every post about how drag are “fake” and a troll etc. What exactly are you contributing to then? Don’t comment. Move on.

People being annoyed does not justify people harassing someone. If someone thinks neopronouns are weird or annoying on the internet then just don’t engage with them instead of commenting on it all the time.

Edit: I remember not liking neopronouns as a kid and I never went out of my way to bother anyone about it. Also dragon rider doesn’t force anyone to use drags pronouns, drag is fine with they/them

All you have to do if you don’t like or understand something is move on. You didn’t need to come here and invalidate someones identity.

Edit:

It just strikes me as a little disingenuous or odd.

This just screams that you are being disingenuous yourself is what I mean.

Dragon Rider is being accused of being a fake transgender person because people don’t like drags pronouns. The meme implies the so-called trolls are just polite trans people, and that the person being offended by said trans people are simply transphobic, which they are.

Fuck off transphobe

What is that image domain 🤔 Not very cool image host I’m guessing

You think disney is pulling trans storylines to rage bait people ?

I get kinda scared for a moment whenever I see posts from “c/truscum” before I realize what’s going on :P

dang she’s so right though how could I not see it before, after all right wing is when murder

Oh I’ve completely forgotten this is a thing! Thank you very much

All routes are equally effective (as far as anyone call tell at least), I meant dosage yes

Not everyone has that opportunity. That said, OP, in many countries your doctor can help you with DIY by doing blood tests, or they might appreciate knowing you are doing DIY.

It’s maybe a bit much to say to avoid it completely, but oral is less effective than sublingual (by a lot) in addition to having a higher risk factor. You can typically take oral tablets sublingually as well, making the oral route even worse in that sense.

Good point! I understand you have to be a bit careful with binders, and that use should be minimized ?

Hi!

I would suggest you take a look at the following two links:

• https://diyhrt.info/
• https://genderdysphoria.fyi/en/second-puberty-fem

The first talks about how to do diy hrt, and the second talks about the actual effects.

Hairloss will stop once the dht (a form of androgen/male sexual hormone) in your system is gone or useless (how long this takes varies depending on how you do HRT). You might see some hair come back, but there are no guarantees.

Starting now will indeed make a difference! Any further masculinization will stop, and you will start feminizing instead. Your voice isn’t really changed by feminizing hrt. If HRT is something you want, I would advice starting now. There are no benefits to waiting.

Your dosage will depend on how you take HRT. The typical routes are oral (avoid), sublingual (under the tongue), transdermal (through the skin), and injections. Each has a number of plusses and minuses, but imo the two best routes are transdermal and injections with the latter being the most convenient and cheapest route.

I am personally doing something called monotherapy with injections, which means I take a larger dose of estradiol (estrogen) which suppresses my bodies natural testosterone production without hormone blockers as they can have uncomfortable side effects.

How quickly you get noticeably more fem varies. It can take months for your breasts to start showing, but a loose hoodie can hide breasts for a long time. I’m almost a year in and only those I’ve told am aware that I’m trans. Other effects like a more fem face and body isn’t really something your parents will notice, and can also be easily hidden with a hoodie.

I also recently started a local HRT community where there are even more links and resources for you to check out!

If you are considering HRT on some level then I recommend you check out this link: https://genderdysphoria.fyi/en/second-puberty-fem That website helped me a lot personally! It goes over the effects of E on your body

literally by doing the same

I dunno where you are, but you might be able to get finasteride (to stop hairloss) and minoxidil (to regain hair) from your GP or from a specialist that your GP refers you to. Another thing I’ve heard that might help is a dermaroller, but apparently that takes a long time to have any effect, and it probably works best with finasteride.

The only real way to stop hairloss is to deal with the cause which is DHT, a specific hormone. Finasteride/dutasteride are DHT blockers.

I haven’t used any of these things myself, but I’ve done some light research on behalf of my brother, and I’ve seen people discus these things before elsewhere.

Best of luck 💛 🤍 💜 🖤
