Gender Studies I

[Slap Shot]

Re: Gender Studies I

Not terrible, actually. There is occasional water weight, mood swings, cramping, and wanting to eat everything, but it's not so bad.

The only thing is I thought breasts would materialize and they didn't.

As for dosage, it depends on my endocrinologist. Currently on a 0.4 ml shot of synthetic estrogen once a week. And I take 100 mg dose of Progesterone as well.

The testosterone blockers will stop once I have an orchiectomy at least.

Ok, thanks for sharing. Keep venting here whenever you need to. We may be neanderthals but we wish you the best.

Wish I could share the Beach Boys style-parody song I remember from a group called The Dan Orr Project when I was in high school "Little Jugs Need Lovin' Too".

Lighten up, Francis.

A joke here and there won't derail anything.

In terms of my breasts, they're there. They might get bigger on their own, they might not. In the interim, I can either run marathons or have breasts. Can't have both right now.

What I look like at 20 months. The smile certainly wasn't there 20 months ago.

And right now, I'm working with two baby trans. They just came out and started coming to our group, so I'm trying to get them out in social settings (we were at Starbucks today), answer questions, and be there for them as much as I can. I know when I came out, I relied heavily on trans elders, asking questions, and having them get me out in social settings. In many ways, it feels like my trans elders protected me and helped me survive when I first came out and started hormones, so it's all I can do to pay it forward.

Those aren't side effects, those are just life as a female.

As for boobs, I had to gain a bunch of weight to grow them. You'll notice many female athletes and thin women are lacking in size there.

That's what my cis lady friends have told me. It's just daily life.

Also, I realize I can run marathons or have 38DD. I'll take the marathons.

Where's the southern all-y'all fall in that spectrum?
