Today is day 14 of being under estradiol(i started decapeptyl 2 months ago). I feel a bit more tired than before and feel like my hairs are a bit smoother(when i brush them). So i want to know, what could i expect from the next weeks ?

Edit : i just found out my nipples are more sensitive than before.

alright gang, we need another win over the news mega this week! keep those numbers up and keep being trans as hell

Inspired by this dorky exchange I had, thank u BountifulEggnog.

I want to know what your gender means to you, how you define it, what it means for you to "be" that gender and how you define it. Don't fuss about 'correct definitions' or anything, this is about your experience, I want to know what it means to you. How you relate to that gender, perceive it.

Genders have a social construction aspect and is very subjective, so I think people's subjective, personal views of their own are both important and interesting. Inquiring mind wants to know!

I'll share some of mine I guess.

I was a trans woman until the contradictions sharpened to a razor's edge after reading Gender Outlaw and The Gender Accelerationist Manifesto. My brain got cracked in half. I have always hated the effects testosterone would have on my body, so estrogen was a given, but while I do identify with certain things that are commonly associated with being a woman... if nothing is inherently gendered, what even is a gender? I had a whole little episode about it in the megathread once.

As I went on from there, I realised that while I like certain things about "being a woman", equally I found I'd been sort of stifled by trying to fit into the social role. The women I have always related to most are the cis autistic women who basically yeet presentation in favour of dressing for sensory comfort. Almost kinda non binary, in a way... The more I interrogated binary gender in relation to myself, the more I dug up stuff like this. Also I didn't really like that "woman" is associated with cis people a lot, I really like the trans part of my identity, feel a lot of love for it. I've felt freer and mentally clearer and truer to myself as a Non Binary Transfem, it's cool and funny. What does it mean to me? It represents my goofy sometimes-androgynous presentation, my lack of cissie gender, how being neurodiverse influences my view, being a funny noody goblin. Share yours =)

Inspired by this terrible J. K. Rowling post

Like wow, transphobes have no consistent standards and will harrass others based on chromosome layout, hormone levels, fertility, and whatever other contradictory trash they can dregde up? Sheesh, it's almost like transphobes and terfs have never had any consistent logic. Almost as if the point is just to uphold white cisheteronormativity and oppress everyone who deviates.

My brain is trying to conjure quotes from both Gender Outlaw and the Gender Accelerationist Manifesto, but my brain is melted. Poking holes in these people's logic is not an effective comeback to them, they do not really care. They gotta uphold cisnormativity and put the boot down on anybody outside of it in any way they can. Anything to support their goofy gender hierarchy.

„Aren't you supposed to be on break?”

Yeah yeah, shut up :LIB:. This is really fucking cool and I want to share. OK????? :bird-mad:

In short, this fucking lady modified her balls to produce estrogen and apparently it worked. HOW THE FUCK????? :turtle-pogger:

Fucking imagine, a goddamn feminization vaccine :cat-trans:

God I'd love for something like this to finally exists so my comrades can live happier lives like holy fuck, this will be a state sponsored project during socialism I guarantee you that :bloomer:

i've been asked to find a source for puberty blockers by an acquaintance whose son has been taken off puberty blockers by the uk government and health service rule changes.

I'm not optimistic about this, as i've looked for it before and not been able to find anything. i also warned them it was extremely expensive. but they wanted me to look anyway. i have looked, and not been able to find anything.

does anyone have any sources? specifically triptorelin or a similar gnrh agonist. parents don't seem willing to consider letting their son start hormones.

If only it was that easy :wail:

Found a snail eating away at some terf rubbish, I gave them a little help but they were really loving those corners!

Sending good vibes to all of my trans comrades

I just need to share some meandering thoughts, please bear with me.

The way I think and feel emotions is strange to me. I've spent so much time in my own head conceptualizing things I can't always process my own thoughts.

I feel like there's this veil over all my perception that I can just barely catch a sense is there. I especially get it when listening to music with certain ethereal sounds. Sleep is another avenue where I try to press on this boundary, but I've never felt like I've broken through. I have a vague spiritual sense about it and I feel like realizing my trans identity was the biggest turn towards understanding it. I'm also neurodivergent with ADHD and a good bit of trauma, when I started my stimulant meds it made all these things more manageable, but there's still this uncomfortable disquiet always on my mind. Anyone else feel this way or something akin to it?

Hey folks, a handful of people seemed interested in a public group chat, so now you have one!

I will be appointing mods asap. Please message me in this thread if any of you are interested in spearheading this project. Same basic rules for being a mod apply, just be a socialist and not cis.

so i just started hrt and im doing diy E monotherapy injections. im abt to do my 5th weekly injection. im planning on lowering my dosage bc i think i started too high. i was aiming to suppress my T fast but i think it happened already bc my cum is clear and watery and i ejaculate a small volume. my first week i was planning on doing estradiol enantate 11 mg every 14 days, but i didn’t like the huge difference between peak and trough that it would cause so i have been doing 5 mg weekly but that should put me around 300 pg/mL which i dont think is uncommon for monotherapy but it’s working so well i think a lower dose would be better.

i was considering doing 2 mg weekly enantate injections plus 2 mg daily oral E bc ur liver turns some estradiol into estrone and there’s some evidence that E1 helps feminize. is this a reasonable regimen? would planned parenthood prescribe me oral E as well as a testosterone cream/gel to prevent penis atrophy and help with performance ive been struggling since starting hrt? planned parenthood is prob my best option in my area. would they prescribe me 6 months of E if i act like im doing two 2 mg daily instead of one? like they prescribe for 90 days but it will last me 180

I actually don't know but I've been thinking about it a lot and I don't feel comfortable with masc gender norms. at the same time i feel kind of comfortable with my name/pronouns but I'm going to try they/them pronouns on hexbear. That is all. Have a great day comrades

You can find their site hosting their links here: https://transmascring.netlify.app/

I've been looking into small little fun ways to tie us into the wider trans community and decided hooking into webrings would be cute. As you can see, our link is now near the bottom on their resources page, and their link is in our sidebar.

Eventually said that this webring will have a unique little icon, will ask about getting it added as an emoji eventually
