Oh... I'm not very good at determining if people are, so I tend to treat everyone like they are asking in good faith. Maybe at least someone else will see my comment and find it useful I hope.

Congratulations, That's awesome 🎉! Starting estrogen is an amazing feeling. I hope you can get them soon.

The Debian logo is very similar to the progynova logo (progynova is estrogen). The above image is probably inspired by that.

I honestly wouldn't trust hormones from Amazon in any form, but I have heard that creams in general have a lower absorption rate.

If you're not doing DIY, it'd be best to talk to your doctor about it, since they'll know the best form and dose of it for you to take and you'd also be able to get it from a pharmacy then too.

One of my worries about hormones that aren't from a pharmacy are that since there unfortunately are people out there who don't like us, they may purposely make products to harm us (which has happened before, I don't remember the name of that product though) or they may make products that don't work to scam people who are desperate and trying to DIY.

Just make it obvious that you're trans. Like on my dating profile I say that I am trans and that I am on HRT. I have the trans flag emoji in my bio also and two pictures of me with a trans flag. If they don't know that I'm trans then that's on them for not bothering to look at my profile for more than 1 second.

Something that really surprised me is that the shaft skin can secrete the same fluids as the vaginal canal. I was super confused when it first happened to me.

See on the gender dysphoria bible (You may have to scroll down to moisture and feminine oder section)

For me it didn't happen until about 3 to 4 months but now at 8 months it doesn't really happen to me anymore, which I don't get.

Subnautica.

Very simple screen with the title sitting on top of deep blue water. It's actually kind of relaxing.

I've thought about this too. Being that many people in the West are christian, I'm thinking part of it is the power hierarchy in the bible (men -> women -> children).

I think part of the hate that trans women get is because people see them as men who are forfeiting their power and moving down in the hierarchy. With their understanding of the world, they are unable to understand how gender and sex are different. This leads them to thinking the actual reason for their transition is so they can go and do perverted things because they don't understand why they would give up their power as men.

With trans men, it makes more sense to them because they are moving up in the power hierarchy. They do not think that trans men are transitioning because they are men, but because they want more power, which they see as admirable.

Why mainstream media ignores trans men I think is because they don't view them as threats like how trans women are viewed. Wanting power is seen as a normal and admirable thing by many in the hellscape we live in and thus trans men aren't "ragebaity" enough for the news or they just choose to focus on trans women because they are way more "ragebaity" and controversial than trans men are.

I tried it just for fun and it underestimated me. I've been on e for 7 months so my breasts are still growing and I currently have D cups, but the tool said mine would be B cups.

Ever since I came out to my mom several years ago, she's been supportive on and off, which I don't really understand why she is just sometimes supportive.

When I first came out to her, she told me she was proud of me, and then minutes later she told me that I would be ugly and never find love. She's never purposely misgendered or deadnamed me though. Although for a while after I came out she was mourning me and acting like I had died and it was really weird and creepy to me at least, but about 2 years after that she told me that she finally sees me as her daughter.

When I had asked her if I could get puberty blockers or estrogen she told me no, which I had asked her that many times. So I decided to save up and finally this year at 20 I got HRT, but then she suddenly decided that she wanted to pay for it and that made me a bit upset because if she was going to pay for it then I could have gotten earlier, but I still appreciate that she is paying for it.

I had asked her if I could get voice training lessons a few years ago she was very adamant about me not doing them. Recently I have decided to do voice training on my own and the other night she complemented my voice and then tonight she told me that I actually sound like an alien and that my masc voice is perfect. We were good for a while and I thought she was done with being unsupportive occasionally but I guess not. I don't really know what I'm feeling rn, I guess disappointment and maybe sadness idk.

This what my voice sounds like rn if you were curious: https://on.soundcloud.com/hsR5W

Went to get a prescription today (not hrt, a different drug) and this guy tried to cut the line and the pharmacist said "sir, she is in line next" and it made me sooo happy. (And then I was sad that I had to use my legal name to get my script, but overall happy for getting gendered correctly)

Congratulations on coming out! I remember when I first came out to a friend and then she was like "What!!!" and I was really worried for a second until she said, "No way, I'm trans too!".

Also I'm wondering if maybe the reason she froze is because she thought that you were going to ask her out, especially with the place and moment where you said "I have something to tell you".

I'm looking for other transgender people to be friends with. I used to be antisocial but now that I have been on e for a few months I feel so much better and I want to find some friends to play games with like Minecraft, Terraria, and Spelunky. I don't really know where to make friends but doing it locally isn't an option because I live in the middle of nowhere unfortunately.

I am a young person and I only leave the house to go to work, but I am currently looking for a wfh job. There's nothing really interesting outside and the weather is rarely nice. If there were less roads and stores and more parks or places you could just exist in then I probably would go outside more, but that would be during the day and not at night. Usually during the evening I just lay around and relax. I am so tired and stressed from the day that I never feel like doing anything when I get home.

This is my 5th week on hrt (2mg estradiol, 100mg Spiro) and I first noticed breast growth and pain right at the end of the 1st week. Then for the next two weeks my breasts were pretty painful and even leaked sometimes. Now last week they suddenly stopped hurting completely for the entire week, however today they are a tiny bit sore. So my question is, is it normal for breast pain to come and go? The breast pain made me very euphoric, so I don't like that it disappeared for a week.
