Cypro usually shouldn't fuck with your liver when taken in normal amounts (note: a lot of fdoctors do not prescribe normal amounts). Also, blood testing around HRT should always involve checking up on your liver. This also becomes an issue with oral estradiole, which is just generally not a good idea if it can be avoided.

Weird that i haven't seen a single trans porn video in my entire life whereas most transphobes have watched thousands (btw this claim has literally more evidence behind it than anything in the Cass Review of Cherrypicked Baloney).

The thing is, they do not want to be the savior in that scenario, they want to gloat about marginalized people becoming martyrs. The suffering is the point. It is also why it wasn't an oversight from them to not protect Roe, to not protect trans rights, to not make sure that they aren't coming for gay and interracial marriage next: When you have nothing to offer but being the lesser evil, this means that the greater evil must remain a serious threat.

That's a really high CPA dose for HRT, you can probably adjust that downwards without any negative effects. I'd try halving your dose for a few weeks, see if anything changes, and when you're fine you might be able to go down even further.

I never fucked with H, but i had extremely similar experiences when i dabbled in opioids during the drug nerd phase i went through as an egg. I didn't use anything regularly, so i can't weigh in on effects of prolonged T suppression (and tbh the testosterone blood levels in the paper sound like nothing to write home about when you compare them to standard dosages of actual anti-androgens, i'm at about a tenth of that with 5mg cypro/d), but the whole "gender euphoria instead of sedation" thing is something i always felt to a really extreme degree when i got high. These were genuinely the only times i ever felt at home in my body before my egg cracked and i got on E, and it made me go completely nuts, the joy of feeling whole was indescribable. I didn't make the connection what "tilidine makes me feel like Major Kusanagi in a new cybernetic body" said about my relation to my gender, and i couldn't know back then that all the weird psychosomatic pain i was in (and that disappeared on opioids) was my way of expressing dysphoria before i properly understood it. But in hindsight, it's kinda obvious what was going on there.

Cypro doses are often higher than they need to be. I went down from 10mg to 5mg after my first year of HRT, my T remained as low as before and my mood improved a lot.

The annoyance on here comes from transphobic dorks misgendering every transfem in gaming and anime as a femboy. It's a common strategy to dogpile on any trans representation in these areas and to systematically form mobs to harass and attack trans women in these communities. That background makes cis men and obvious eggs complaining about being called trans in denial by one or two baby trans girls on reddit come off as whiny fucks drenched in cis privilege, especially when they outright used transphobic talking points and refuse to engage with criticism of that, as has happened on here.

Most of the things that make people read a voice as masculine or feminine are behavioral, not organic. Many people unconsciously model their way of talking around gendered expectations, and that means the way you talk changes whenyour egg cracks and meeting these expectations suddenly becomes a source of pain. I know several trans women who talk very differently to how they did pre-transition without any voice training.
