Exploring The Hormonal Route. Hair=life.

[JaneyElizabeth]

I will be glad for it esp for those who have much more serious hair problems than I.

I can't even speak to the hair piece people without feeling sorry for them and I know they don't want that.

It's fine, I am not going to engage with them.

I endeavor to understand things, but understand does not equate with agree or comply.

I accept transgender people as I firmly believe people can absolutely be born into circumstances where their physiological body does not match their psychological profile or gender awareness.

I am however extremely skeptical over the mass propaganda that it has experienced as of recent and I will not ever discount the fact that yes, this isn't anti-trans, but people are known to jump on bandwagons for a myriad of reasons. I think the actual number of legit trans cases is far lower than what we are seeing, and no that's not "anti-trans".

But I digress.

And I think that the amount of trans cases are again due to increased exposure and acceptance. And no that's not "propaganda."

And continuing to state your opposoning views on this is akin to "engaging." Or is it only engaging when I respond with my views? Sorry if I'm coming across as antagonizing. But I'm not sure if you are aware how condescending you are being.

Yes, if someone has gender dysphoria it can't be cured other than by altering the things someone is dysphoric about. There is no non-medical cure for GD.

Part of what killed my marriage was my inability to articulate anything except for depression. The shame was too great. This was my path and eh, I am thrilled with it. My children have had a different journey. I am obviously getting treatment for dysphoria from a therapist and a psychiatrist because of the gaslighting but it is good anyway to have support like that.

Also "acceptance" will not do any good for a poor dysphoric trans girl going through puberty who is having her body destroyed by testosterone like a cancerous lesion.

 

[JaneyElizabeth]

Okay but the thing that amuses me among MtF's is that we seem male-like in articulating opinions. FtM's seem more traditionally female in some of the discussions I have observed. But on Reddit as you know, there are some good battles or whatever. I used to enjoy it matching minds with Powers but eh,

I literally had to and I have to embrace the shame to get through this to the other side and I am still working on that part.

When one looks at all of the benefits of MtF HRT, a person might opt for that just for health reasons. It improves everything in an older body to the point that it is spooky. Second puberty is really a thing to me.

Powers is a just a useful idiot that took a bunch of other people's ideas and made them his own

It can be partly because of socialization and partly because a lot of people with dysphoria may have intersex conditions with their brain, so it's not totally one way or another. Another issue is higher rates of autism among gender non-conforming people. There's a neurological connection between the two, but I'm not sure what it is

He has aspergers and my ex used to think I did but they have pretty much changed the standards. I have a similar mind to his in terms of retaining disperse bits of knowledge but I am an empiricist.

How old are you? I always assume you are British since your English is perfect.

Hey Janey ,

I am 17 1/2 years old. And I'm not british haha

I am from germany, but thank you so much for that kind compliment!

Also I suspect people who went through a male puberty may be very bitter, and bitterness can come across as hostile which is read as a male trait.

I love going on there and is this okay, sort of bragging about breast growth without rectal progesterone. I am bad. And I only swallow my pills; I refuse to suck on pills all day, Goddess preserve me what some MtF's will do to eek out some more but we are the same about hair.

That was for Dogo. I have done that three times. Tell me more.

My point has nothing to due with his aspergers, but I'm referring to that he just took ideas that had been promoted off the hrt reddit and passed them off as his own

 

[Pls_NW-1]

I am thinking of dropping ideas of HRT/ADT for my hair, because of the risk factors and because I am a cis-male, and males just... shouldnt touch estrogens xD.

So yeah, I think of using a hair system, but that wouldn't be quite authentical, in my opinion, and again, it will be such a hassle, looking after it that nobody notices it, maintain it properly etc.

I. Hate. My. Life.

Where is this fuckin* stem cell cloning hair therapy . I can't wait till 2050...

Who's Dogo tho?

Yes and he over touts Bica in my opinion. People act like he is a hero for prescribing bica. I am estradiol and progesterone only.

I think that's just an unfair stereotyping. I see women argue with much more hostility all the time. People just call it being bitchy or catty instead

He's our pal who writes a lot and he has an unusual protocol but he's a fellow traveler.
