Ftm

bishophell — Fri, 03 Jul 2020 22:25:26 GMT

Hello, I'm new here. I'm beginning my transition and I'm late on the journey. This is because I had to flee my country due to my family. Now I'm finally seeing a gender therapist and not sure I can be honest with my life partner about coming out to them fully. They know we're transgender and FTM. They know we're seeing a gender therapist. We just haven't explained to them the extent of what is happening next. What to say to them next?

Facebook Groups

ivan_ruskarom — Tue, 23 Oct 2018 04:38:18 GMT

Hi everyone. I haven’t posted in a really long time. I am trying to find out if there are any secret Facebook groups for Trans men, if so, I’d really appreciate help getting in to one as I don’t want anyone on Facebook to be able to see the group.

Thanks!

using scar strips after top surgery

ceresvulcan — Fri, 12 Jan 2018 08:25:27 GMT

my doctor was a bit vague about this. He said to start using the scar strips right away to help prevent keloids (I already have 2 keloids on my chest) I know in most cases people wait a month or so to use the strips but he said I could go ahead. But he didn't say how long to continue using them or how often?? And how long I should leave them on before changing them? Do I just leave them on 24/7?

Trans friendly Family Doctor

diiestes13 — Mon, 01 Jan 2018 19:56:45 GMT

Hi everyone,

I haven't posted or been on LJ for years, I am looking for support and friends. Right now I live in York Region and I am in need of a Trans friendly family doctor. I have one downtown Toronto but it is a hike for me to get there. Is anyone familiar with any family doctors open to having new patients one who is Trans living in the York Region area, particularly in Markham?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much!

tips for getting the scruffy unshaven look?

ceresvulcan — Sun, 17 Sep 2017 04:03:34 GMT

so I don't have a lot of facial hair, but I do get a pretty good mustache and some under/around my chin. I don't like it too long, I'd rather keep the scruffy look, but all I've got is a normal razor. I know I need some sort of trimmer, but idk what to get, and considering I don't have much to work with, I feel like an electric razor is a bit silly. At the moment I'm using scissors.

dealing with drains after surgery

ceresvulcan — Tue, 22 Aug 2017 05:42:01 GMT

So it looks like my top surgery is happening in about 3 weeks, and this doctor uses drains (my first choice didn't but my insurance fell through) and I'm a bit concerned about dealing with them. Mostly A)when sleeping...are they in the way?? And B) Can I keep them hidden or confined or something, or do they just hang there? Any tips for taking care of drains really helpful.

getting T in the UK??

ceresvulcan — Mon, 03 Jul 2017 15:55:13 GMT

Hey I didn't get any reply on my last post. I'm moving to London for school in September and I don't know where to start with getting my T there. Should I take a big supply with me? Advice please?

PLEASE HELP

ivan_ruskarom — Wed, 12 Apr 2017 19:58:50 GMT

I have been in T for seven years. Recently I had renewed my prescription and picked it up. It was accidentally thrown out in the bag that I had purchased it in. I had called my doctor and explained everything and the woman I spoke with said it was no problem and that he will renew the Rx. Well, he wanted bloods first (which made no sense as I had just been given a refill!!!). This is a doctor who works EXCLUSIVELY with the LGBT community. I live 2 hours away from his office and explained that I can't just walk in for a blood draw! It has been almost a MONTH since all of this started and he has still not refilled my Rx. I had my last shot about 3 weeks again and I take it every 2 weeks. My big concern is do I have to worry about menstruation starting again? I am unbelievably fucking furious with this guy and you would think that he and his staff would be far more considerate when they work with Trans people every fucking day!!! I just hope someone can give me a fairly concrete answer.

Thanks in advance!

I could be moving to the UK, wondering how getting T/insurance works there

ceresvulcan — Tue, 28 Mar 2017 07:13:45 GMT

I won't know if I'm moving for a few months still, but if I do I will be moving in September and living there for 3 years at least. I'm wondering what happens to my health insurance (I'm insured through my job), can I get it over there and how would I be getting my T? I know they have a better health care system so I'm hoping it's still fairly simple to get ahold of. If anyone could point me to some helpful websites that would be great.

seeking stories of personal experience with certain terf

toughskin — Thu, 16 Feb 2017 18:30:20 GMT

hi family
some of you may know someone named cathy brennan. i first heard of her when i was a teenager on livejournal in trans and ftm groups, and she would troll these groups taking peoples photos and doxxing them. she just moved to my state to get a hateful anti trans bathroom bill passed and i am writing an article about it. i am looking for folks personally doxxed by her and was wondering if anyone in here has experience with that or knows anyone that would be willing to speak with me about it.

thanks for your time. much love

zombie_transboy — Mon, 19 Dec 2016 07:04:18 GMT

Exactly 1 year difference in these photos. It's crazy the change already. I am now 7 months on T and I am starting to feel more comfortable with myself.

I was at the store the other day and had to use the restroom. Usually I try to avoid public restrooms if they don't have a family one. However, I had to go really bad and there wasn't a family one. As I walked out of the women's room a man probably in his 50's was walking towards the bathroom. He looks at me and just keeps walking in the door. He never looked at the sign on the side to see it said women's. He walked in, back out, looked at the sign, at me, and then looked puzzled. I laughed and said 'vote to change bathroom laws' and walked away. I guess I pass enough to be using the men's room now :)

Facebook Groups

ivan_ruskarom — Wed, 26 Oct 2016 23:48:15 GMT

Hi everyone,

I was just wondering if you know of any secret Facebook groups for Trans men. I am looking for any that would not show up on my profile for friends to see. Also, feel free to add me on Facebook if you like, the link is on my page here.

Thank you!!!

surgeons for top surgery in Texas?

ceresvulcan — Tue, 04 Oct 2016 03:25:58 GMT

Is there anyone you would recommend? I live in Austin and I have insurance through Aetna, so I should be covered. I'm looking into Dr. Lawton in San Antonio and Dr. Harris in Dallas so far.

Also is there anywhere with a guide to look what to do to prepare for before and after surgery. I'm trying to be as close to Austin as possible because there's a chance I'll be going alone. I have no family and my roommate isn't the most reliable person.

Supplies Abroad?

mr_marvelous67 — Tue, 27 Sep 2016 10:18:21 GMT

Hi everyone,

This may be a bit of a long shot, but does anyone have any advice re: how I might go about getting needles in France? I just realized that I didn't bring enough 25g to last me, and I'm not sure where to go to get more.

Thanks to anyone who might have thoughts on this!

Question about Stroheckers prescription

pradlee — Fri, 23 Sep 2016 15:38:04 GMT

I get T from Stroheckers. My prescription is valid for a few months and I'm allowed to get 4 refills total. However, at my usage rate, I only use 2. I'd like to get the additional 2 refills as backup, so I don't need to see the prescribing doctor as often.

In the past, however, I've had trouble asking for a refill too soon after already getting one (about 1 month had elapsed between the two refill requests). Stroheckers said that because the elapsed time was so short, they would need to get special doctor approval.

I've heard other people say that when their prescription is about to expire, they just ask the pharmacy to give the all of the remaining refills at once. Has anyone tried doing this at Stroheckers? What are the magic words?

Note: I'm not using insurance, so there shouldn't be a limit on that end to how many refills I can get at once.

t-kingdom ultra binding binder

chasethegreat24 — Sat, 17 Sep 2016 04:25:27 GMT

Hey there I'm new here!! Selling this brand new binder because I accidentally bought the wrong size and they don't do returns 😔 Size small Velcro side for better binding and easier to put on. I bought it for $76 but I'm flexible on price!

Boxer Briefs for Packing

ivan_ruskarom — Wed, 14 Sep 2016 02:26:22 GMT

Ok, so I am always on here asking questions and not really contributing anything, but I have found something that may be helpful for other guys. These are the David Archy separate pouches boxer briefs. They are exactly what they sound like, boxer briefs with a pouch for the penis and a pouch for the scrotum. These are made for cis men and have really good reviews on that front. I find that they work really well with a soft packer. The way they are worn is a bit less discrete than typical boxer briefs (as you will see in the photos), but under clothing I've never felt that it is "vulgar", as in people getting an eyeful😁

The other thing I love about these, is that they are a fairly reasonable price. A 4 pack on Amazon costs $27.98. If you were to buy something specific to Trans men like SpareParts boxer briefs they cost $35.95 for one pair. I'm not trying to bash things made for and by Trans men, but oftentimes those items are very expensive.

There are a few drawbacks. The main one is, as these are made for cis men, when you pull them down to use the toilet you have to be mindful of the packer because it can slip backwards out of the hole. Second, like many boxer briefs in my experience, the legs do ride up, which is annoying. Lastly, these probably aren't great for an STP as things can be a little more difficult to maneuver around.

The photos included cannot be unseen and I am not responsible for any of you going blind!😁

Anyway, here is the link for them on Amazon if anyone is interested.

Scarring

ivan_ruskarom — Tue, 13 Sep 2016 16:49:32 GMT

Hi everyone. I have some very extensive scarring from my top surgery that was done in 2009. I've had no luck with any products that I have used so far. I'm hoping somone has some advice on what worked for them.

nimnod — Mon, 15 Aug 2016 10:40:32 GMT

I'm looking for some other decent humxns (ftm, transmasculine, or non-binary) taking T to just talk about stuff and share their experiences, a safe space not full of judgey trolls. There's so much to this journey and cis people either just can't understand or feel weird talking about it or get bored hearing about it. Do people do that here? And if no, does anyone post that sort of thing on their private LJs who'd want to friend me/let me friend them? It's pretty isolating living in a small town and mostly knowing cis people.

Hypothyroidism

freakygems — Wed, 03 Aug 2016 06:56:06 GMT

About two years ago I posted the following about being diagnosed with an underactive thyroid and being on a low-dose of T.

Well I am back after a year of more tests and results, and I am seeking other people with hypothyroidism to connect with. I've made an update on my personal blog to explain where I am up to.

I am just finding that I want to talk to someone who is on T and/or genderqueer/non-binary, diagnosed with hypothyroidsim, and possibly also sleep apnea (although not necessary).

Looking for interview participants!

juliacascon — Sat, 30 Jul 2016 11:35:23 GMT

Hi all!

My name is Julia, and I am a Master's student at the University of Aberdeen, I am in the Sex, Gender and Violence program. In order to complete this program, I am to complete a piece of independent research for my dissertation. I decided to research transgender people, particularly in the areas of their relationship to traditional masculinity and femininity, and passing. I will conduct qualitative interviews with them (via Skype or telephone), and now need participants! I have already got all the participants I needed who were assigned Male at birth, but I am still looking for 2-3 more people who were assigned Female at birth.

Would you be interested in participating in my research? Your experiences are very valuable to me! If this is the case, please send me an e-mail at:
j.perezcascon.15@aberdeen.ac.uk

I will then provide you with a document containing more comprehensive information about my research, and we can schedule the interview.

I look forward to hearing back from you!

UTIs?

ceresvulcan — Sun, 24 Jul 2016 03:42:17 GMT

Ive been having a problem lately where every so often I feel like I'm getting a UTI, and I drink water all the time, I eat pretty well, I do all the things, and then it'll stop and it'll go away. But then it always comes back. Sometimes it's a few days later, sometimes it's a week later, but it's a burning sensation and usually I feel very hot. I'm going to a gynocologist in a month or so, but I'd love if it would stop before then.

Meta with Miro

cowhockey — Wed, 29 Jun 2016 03:38:27 GMT

Hi all, I'm looking to touch base with someone who has had a meta with Miro. Hopefully someone who had surgery with him when he was in NYC earlier this year. Thanks!
