I have hair on the backs of my hands now. whee
Seems I'm having another fast changes phase going on here - practically nothing happened for the past two months and now there's a lot happening at the same time.

That seems to be how it goes for me as well. Though I don't really seem to LOSE any hair like I'm supposed to.

I don't think estrogen alone does more than slow the growth down. gonk Are you getting it plucked out as well? Like... laser removal or something?

Anti-androgens can cause body hair to thin out. I've lost some color, thickness, and a few hair entirely on my hands, arm, and body hair on my torso. Still have plenty left though gonna have them removed eventually.

And it makes me sad that my butt is so small... I would like a more fem body but it just isn't in the cards.

You and me both. At 125 lbs or so and 5'7" I hardly have any breasts or butt worth mentioning. It's bigger than it used to be though. People curse being overweight. I curse being underweight. I think being skinny and trans as a girl is harder to pass than being overweight. At least in the butt and breast department.

Oh well. I have Crohns so gaining weight would take about 8000 calories a day and a lot of pain.

Being skinny has its advantages for me, even with estrogen, if I put on weight I don't look good. (basing that off of when I was putting on weight and from looking at female family members).

Seen plenty of heavy trans women who fail at passing, they tend to be late in life transitioners though. Too much belly fat compared to their boobs and hips.

Apparently, pre existing conditions made any prospective medical insurance company jack up their quote. She doesn't have that kind of money to pay on the fly, so she self-medicates--as I said, endos usually prescribe lower dosages then people who self-medicate tend to take, so she uses more. More meds, more money. I suppose I should have clarified. She's too broke to pay for what her ridiculous insurance is trying to make her pay, and has barely enough money to keep up with her meds.

I haven't met any people who transition, and then change their mind but I have heard of it happening, which is not to say that therapy is useless--it may be great for you, and may be great for other people too, but didn't do me any good. My own personal experience with that there.

I told her about the Planned Parenthood thing and she's gonna check it out, maybe that'd help her out a bit so she can stop taking some of her friends injections. (Scared of needles...will sit there and cry for an hour until she'll let me stab her with it. xD.) There's also a clinic down here who hosts nights with low cost blood work and stuff. Hopefully it does some good.

But hey, Dan. Your transition is your transition, the way you go about it is really none of my business. So long as you're happy(..ish?) and healthy(...ier than you were before? xD) then that should be enough. Everything you're doing may work for you. I'm not talking down to you or trying to invalidate anything you've done thus far. See an endo, don't see an endo. Injections, patches, gels, creams. -Shrugs.- Like I said before, if you know what you're doing then more power to you. Us simple folk (like myself) will pay for an endo when we can, because I can't keep up with that s**t. I might corrode my liver or something.

Just my own thoughts and experiences, nothing more. It sounds too much like I'm arguing with you, when really I'm indifferent. Just talkin. So I'm gonna stop right there now. biggrin

On another note about this potentially creepy, stalker, future ex boyfriend of yours..

Is getting a job really that frightening? If his co-dependency bothers you, why don't you tell him so? It's never a pretty sight when it makes for the reasons of break ups. He could always resort to taking the lint from under your couch cushions and making friendship bracelets. Sell 'em on Etsy. Boom. Job.

Or something.

[Song of the Century]

So I just got back last night from a 3-week vacation to Wales and Paris. I passed nearly the whole time; got called monsieur, sir, lad, and was asked if I was my mother's son ( "c'est ton fils?" ). This is with wearing a t-shirt and speaking, btw. D-cups and feminine voice. I even almost got pat down by a male worker at an airport, but he changed his mind. It was pretty great.

The vacation wasn't anything special.

Ugh I wish I could fit into size 28 again! I'm 36 at the moment, dropping to 34 and I would love to be 32 again!

-Butts into conversation- If we're talking guy sizes here, I've always fluctuated between a 32 and a 34, never any bigger, never any smaller. But the only problem is, I have such a big butt that they're the only sizes that can get up around it, but my waist itself is actually a lot skinnier, so my pants never stay up. I hate guy clothes for that reason - they don't factor in a girly a** XD. -Is proud of my girly butt-

Here here!

Jiggly girly butts unite!

I has no butt worth mentioning.

@pants size convo
I can wear size 30 man pants, size 6 in women's.

I think I'm like a size 10 or 12 in women's XD. I've always had a very big butt, even though I'm pretty skinny.

Also, damn gurl, you're so purrdy. :'D

You do realize that pre-existing condition nonsense has been ruled out by Obamacare, right?

I have personally met several people who started transitioning and changed their minds. I met a former MtF who stopped his transition, went back to male pronouns and lives as an androgyne. I also have met like half a dozen former FtMs who went COMPLETELY back to female, almost hyper-feminine, showing off their boobs and wearing make up and s**t, being extremely "cutesy" and usually a nerd's wet dream.

Basically anyone who wants to go, "I'm trans!" and a week later get on hormones, is a stupid person. Maybe therapy isn't what they need but they need to ******** think. it's permanent and there are a lot of feelings going on. For instance, someone I will not name, is very sexist, and hates women. I kind of think his transition is based on misogyny mostly. I'm not allowed to argue this, however, because it makes me "transphobic".

The biggest concern with your friend at this point is she needs an endo to make sure her levels are correct. If someone doesn't seen an endo, they are shooting themselves in the a**. If your levels are wrong, your transition won't work, or it will work very slowly. Estrogen and testosterone are analogous chemicals. Too much of one makes it TURN INTO the other, as your body tries to balance out. It tries to compensate. So an FtM overdosing could, for instance, cause his breasts to grow.

The issue with my partner is extremely vague. He won't ******** tell me anything. Like I don't know if he's "scared". He pretends to be confident but his actions make it seem like all he ever wants to do is read Reddit, look at porn, and play League of Legends for the rest of his life. Since that's basically all he does. Then when we're together he just pries me for sex. He has no respect. When I'm trying to sleep he rams his d**k on my a**. I'm so tired of his juvenile behavior. I've talked to him about this at least a dozen times. I've already told him this s**t over and over, but he does this annoying thing where he's like "ok, love you!" and acts like we're still together. THEN if I say, "no, ******** you, it's over," he's like "ok, if that's what you WANT..." and pretends not to care. It pisses me off, and makes me want to kick his a**. He uses all sorts of bullshit manipulative ways to keep me around. Then when I am literally walking out, packing his things to give to him, etc. he acts all suicidal. I don't know what the ******** to do honestly.

Also as for Etsy he has no craft skills whatsoever.

Woo, got settled in my new house and finally got much gallons of interweb!

Tonight, gonna look up the applicable GPs for my insurance and schedule an appointment.

I forgot to post an update on trans stuff.

I dyed my hair again (black, it was a retouch) and I feel... ugh. My hair feels feminine to me. Like I like it but the whole "goth" thing isn't working at WORK. I can't wear my piercings or anything so even though people can tell I'm male, I just don't... look right? Kind of wish I had a job that fit my personality more? IDK, I am thinking of getting a really masculine haircut, but my hairline is "feminine".

Here's a pic I just took (new hair color, also hairline):



I feel like my face isn't... necessarily "female" looking but I'm very boy-ish and it bugs me a lot... I wish that soft part by my temple was a lot darker, making a sharper hairline.

I'm starting to think my dysphoria regarding my face is almost like BDD-- as in what I'm seeing isn't really there at all. Like I go OMG MY FACE IS SO FEMININE but almost no one else sees it except people who harass me over being trans and who call me a girl and s**t (aka only people on the internet). My face looks fat to me, even though I'm thin. It feels hopeless, like I'll never have a slender face, because it's only going to get fatter. Btw this is a flattering photograph; this is not what I see when I look in the mirror. emo

I've met only one person who reverted, he was a gay guy who thought he had to be a woman to be with men. Eventually he got over his internalized homophobia though and reverted.

Takes a few months for HRT's changes to be permanent, at least for E. Even the first permanent changes rarely push someone out of the realm of their birth sex.

I've never heard of estrogen becoming T, only the other way around. If it is possible someone must be taking massive amounts of it, because I've talked to people who's levels were 3 times higher (around 2100) on their estrogen but fine on T... then again AAs will stop T from working in your system anyways. Bloodwork is important though, as the amount of medication someone needs can change. I take less than 1/4 of what other transwomen take but my estrogen count is in the normal female range.

Distance yourself from him, just don't hangout with him, return calls or emails. He will eventually figure it out.

I actually forgot to mention, there's another former MtF I know who went back recently. She identifies (he?) as a gay man now, but went far enough into transition to have like C-cup breasts and looks completely female. He started transitioning when he was like 15, so he passes completely. Said he can't stand being a woman with a p***s. I tried to tell him that he can be. He doesn't want SRS. He said it's too hard trying to date straight men like that. So he wants to identify as a gay man with a female persona or something.

I was mostly referring to FtMs, it's a lot harder to reverse their changes (other than an MtF getting boobs-- that requires surgery to reverse).

I think if someone takes too much E, it might just end up flushing through their system. I'm not entirely sure how that works, but I do know it is true that if one takes too much T it will start turning into E, causing heavy periods, cramping, and possibly breast growth.

I would be if I had the money to do so. Generally between the estrogen and testosterone blockers you're supposed to eventually get diminishing hair on your body and such. No such luck here.

There be the reason I don't care for straight men (or lesbian women), too much worrying about the trouser snake. Bisexuals are best bet usually.

Too much estrogen's biggest side effect is breast cancer.

Yeah, I'm trying to keep my dating to bisexual men/women if possible. I feel like if they are OK with both sexes that my genitals will be less of a "shock" to them.
