Welcome to femcel memes. A place where anybody can post memes that fit the vibe.
Warning: We have a tendency to post things that may at times come from a self-deprecating perspective or things that are funny coming from another queer person. This space will always be a safe place for transfems, non-binary people, people with a feminine gender expression (GNC or otherwise) or anybody else in the LGBT Community to come together and share about our experiences but we truly feel that laughing about the sometimes silly and embarrassing parts the queer experience can help bring us together. We never mean offense or harm in anything posted but rather they are satirical takes coming from queer people.
A note about 'Egging': Our community is mostly made up of transfem individuals, and as such most memes posted will be posted with the intention of having a transfem perspective. However, regardless of gender identity, all feminine presenting individuals are welcome here. Whether that means you're NB, GNC, transmasc, or any other identity, you are welcome here. It is not our intention or goal to invalidate these identities. If something makes you uncomfortable, please feel free to report the post and I will address your concerns on an individual level. For more information regarding the problems with 'Egg-culture', please see Here.
Love Y'all and thank you for following this community

yo, trans girl here.
i just want to plug estradiol-only here. i use patches because they are the smoothest on my levels. i used to take Spiro but it fucked up my kidneys and i started passing out in the heat. turns out in europe they dont use it over health concerns ( and possible breast growth inhibition). so yeah
Spiro should honestly not be recommended for 99% of people. I only use it because most other anti androgens have progestergenic effects, and I had liver concerns with high blood pressure. I would've changed by now, but I won't even need t suppression soon.
Edit: should also mention that I'm injecting e as well. I started spiro first, as I was initially denied HRT for backwards ass reasons. When I finally started, injections were an easy choice.
seriously, it's insane that spiro is used so much - it's a weak anti-androgen to start with, and the side effects are so common and potentially dangerous (I feel like everyone I talk to that takes spiro has a horrible time on it - the only person I can think of who had a good experience is Mia Violet).
Meanwhile, injecting bioidentical estrogen with monotherapy doses is relatively harmless (the biggest harm I guess would be from needle injury, infections, etc. - easily mitigated by following standard / best practices, something diabetics have to do as well).
working on it, but this is what i got so im going with it for now.
wow, i get emotional about it [because it wasnt a great experience for me -- and its a microcosm for everything wrong with society] but im fine and youre gonna be fine, ๐
personally I'm a big fan of injections. very stable levels and you only need to inject once a week.
