ah, sorry, i saw it, i just don't know anything about lamotrigine. and the same stuff applies with it; you'll probably have to wait till you encounter a trigger and just gauge how bad it was and how long it lasted to see if it helps 😅
i think propranolol is a pretty good choice for your situation, actually, i think, if the dose is high enough, and you can tolerate the effects on your blood pressure, then it can probably be very useful after a trigger? it depends on how you take it / the formulation, the short acting works for around 4 hours, but you can get extended release versions too
i took propranolol regularly for a couple of years for essentially the same thing, managing triggers. it was an effective way for me to deaden the intensity of feelings and be more productive handling them, although prolonged use eventually led to that sort of zombie lack of emotions effect. still, it did me a lot of good for the time i was on it
really, unfortunately, you have to evaluate the meds based on how you feel normally on them and when you encounter a trigger. it sounds like your triggers can get quite bad, so intentionally testing it doesn't seem like a good idea (if you're even able). you might just keep the propranolol on hand if it happens
in terms of data, i would look at the severity and length of the episodes where you encountered a trigger. ostensibly, the medicine should make it less severe and easier to pull out of. and if it's not after some time, then it's probably worth switching
... is this... AI? i'm not like an expert at identifying it or anything but...
i mean... no more than anyone else has to go to bed for their hormones to work, anyways
sure, my wife's might be, but mine are nice and wide for it, so it evens out (this is a trans joke)
bisexuality isn't inherently transphobic!
not saying you're necessarily implying that, but it's a general stereotype which, while it can be true on an individual level, certainly isn't when taken as a whole
here's the bisexual manifesto, also, since it goes hard: https://bitheway.carrd.co/#manifesto
i'd like to see more than "i don't know if it holds water", especially since you don't couch it nearly as well in your previous post bringing it up
a thesis is on the onus of who brings it up to substantiate it; if you can't defend it, i would question the wisdom of bringing it up in an already contentious conversation
i long to see the woke sky...
mississippi is fuuuuuuucked (up):
Mississippians as young as 17 years old (for boys) and 15 years old (for girls) may get married. They may have a child and choose a name for that child. But the courts denied the name change request of SBM, a trans man with the full support of his parents in his transition, because they found 18 years old is not an adequate age to ensure “maturity” and warrant such a “life-altering” decision.
Unlike most states, Mississippi’s “age of majority,” or the age where the state recognizes someone as an adult, is 21, not 18. This means Mississippians under 21 years old cannot enter legally binding contracts in many instances, without parental sign-off.
...
In addition, it threatens to thrust Mississippians of all backgrounds into the epicenter of a constitutional crisis. The ruling and its rollout could call the 26th Amendment into question, which lowered the voting age to 18 after the mass conscription of young people during the Vietnam War. It also tests the Full Faith and Credit Clause, which requires states to respect the records-keeping of other states (such as name changes and marriage licenses); Mississippians’ 14th Amendment right to due process; and an individual’s First Amendment rights.
they didn't just override the trans boy but also his parents LMAO this is so fucked up
reminder that trans women are women and attraction to them (if you're a man) is straight
(i'm aware of the rest of your post but felt like this was a good thing to bring up)
really fucked that the principle called the daughter's personal cell phone about a personal instagram post at 10pm, this dude is a fucking creep
the craziest part to me is the implication that a guy who's into women or trans men is perfectly straight, as long as those trans men didn't have bottom surgery, because pussy is pussy (?)
