OH. I stared at it for quite a while thinking this was someone who made a purposefully bad burger

Here you go! Guess which one is which!

hi thotdragon!

Hello everyone!

I’ll be doing my best to increase our response time to bigotry and spam! I’m not sure what else to write here that hasn’t been said, but uh I have two cute cats named Åsa and Akaya, a mother and daughter. They like stealing my chair

I first started looking for alternative communities after reddit killed api stuff, and some bad experiences on discord with moderators who were convinced they were allies yet allowed transphobia and harassment they considered harmless. I was also looking for a place to try and break out of my shell and talk to people like myself and lemmy and matrix has been great for me in that regard <3 I’ve made lots of friends here and I hope to help keep this place safe and comfortable for everyone

Anyways, hello again!

For clarification they only mean the women that are cis

Hey, that language is a bit misogynistic. Nothing cowardly about pussies

You will not be fertile on HRT* and possibly irreversibly infertile after a while on it. Storing sperm is the way to go, but I don’t know much about the subject. Where I am I can have my sperm stored by talking to my GP, but it sounds like you are somewhere where this has to be handled privately?

*don’t assume you are fully infertile. this can lead to accidental pregnancies. you will absolutely be less fertile and likely not fertile at all, but I won’t guarantee it

Name
Biological Reality

Mhm yeah the biological name that gestated with me in the womb. That makes sense

Absolutely tragic 😔

Left is when not burger but else food 😔

👀

It’s not quite that bad from what I can tell, but it is a bit harder for sure.

I use tankie the same way. Authoritarians and genocide deniers. It’s a fairly common way to use the word by leftists. Libs and tankies muddying the definition sucks, but how else am I supposed to refer to tankies?

Edit: Also let’s be honest. Tankies call everyone who calls them out a liberal whether it’s warranted or not.

The community is for all trans people, even if there’s mostly been transfem posts so far! I’ve also made sure to include some transmasc-specific resources in the resource list

I was sure there were papers on this but I might be mixing up what I’ve read about oral and sublingual with transdermal E.

I do know it’s common to take gel more than once a day, but I can’t actually back up the usefulness of doing this. It depends entirely on the half life of E when taken transdermally.

Here’s a page which touches on this with oral and sublingual: https://transfemscience.org/articles/sublingual-e2-transfem/

Two pages on transdermal. They don’t talk too much about half life here.
https://transfemscience.org/articles/oral-vs-transdermal-e2/
https://transfemscience.org/articles/high-dose-transdermal-e2/

I am certain it would result in more stable levels to take your dose split over the day, but the big question is if your levels go low enough over 24 hours for this to be necessary.

Edit: Also, since you’re on a blocker you don’t need high levels in order to suppress T so you have a larger range of good levels of E.

oh, that could be it! Hope you can get the sites working

More often is more better and gives more stable levels over time, and it does indeed depend on the dosage. With a blocker however I think 2 times a day is very common.

It’s technically possible for some people to do mono with spray before orchi, but it’s not recommended. I tried with gel and it wasn’t a great experience. This is when applying often is most important.

Every guide? Please let me know which ones were broken.

Edit: One guide was broken because it was hosted as a google doc. The rest are just fine.

I don’t mind. They were probably posted way back anyways

We do very actively remove bigoted content, but beyond that we’re not really large enough to have many low quality posts locally. Some communities here very much embrace shitposting such as this one, so no moderation required there.
