@LobsterWomanGal Consider looking into feminization laryngoplasty?

i don’t want to voice train but i know ill get misgendered for life if i dont, but 1, that is so much effort. 2, i don’t want to sound like every other trans girl out there, and have the stupid fag voice for however long until i get it down

@minixword I sure hope so cause I feel like part 1 of my FFS focusing on the lower face did very little even with bangs mostly covering the top

gender is stored in the brow bome

@sinikeol11481 I felt my heartbeat actually quicken when I saw this, wow

@Gamechamp3k Adjacent: If you are on/plan to go on progesterone, suppositories are much more effective; you lose ~90% of the dose if taken orally

I have been thoroughly convinced that injecting estrogen is better than taking pills purely because now that it's an occasional thing rather than daily I get to have that wonderful feeling of "Today is *ESTROGEN DAY*!!!!!" ☕

@VaIefary With my time machine I simply bring a scalpel and some good anesthetic and castrate my past self in her sleep. She will be a little confused but it's for the best

@virkokka @platedpanda @anontanuki @MichaelAlleged If you are literally in the hospital, there's a decent chance you could be saved (and end up comatose/with severe deformation/severe brain damage) if you are even slightly unlucky or slightly sub-optimal with which part of the brain you aim at

@platedpanda @anontanuki @MichaelAlleged OK how about this, I go to the hospital and ask around what organs they are in immediate need of, sign the donor card and then immediately blow my brains out in the hospital waiting room.

I looked into it once and it’s impossible to commit suicide in a way that makes your organs harvestable

@cNguyn36445797 @Minpupunkun

@Minpupunkun And it's a hell of a reach, but I'm headcanoning the bookshelf as being from Libretta

@Minpupunkun I recognize Paper Lily, Pocket Mirror, .flow, Yume Nikki, Yume 2kki, Wadanohara, Satsuriku no Tenshi, One Shot, End Roll, Witch's Heart, Spooky's Jumpscare Mansion, Ena: Dream BBQ, Ib, Mad Father, Omori, DDLC, Witch's house, and Deltarune

@AreUForRielle @Minpupunkun Also I'm reaching HARD but I'm going to headcanon the bookshelf as a Libretta reference

@AreUForRielle @Minpupunkun On top of these I recognize Paper Lily (Project Kat), Pocket Mirror, .flow, Yume Nikki, Yume 2kki, Wadanohara, Satsuriku no Tenshi, One Shot, End Roll, Witch's Heart, Spooky's Jumpscare Mansion, Ena: Dream BBQ, and Deltarune

Unexpected torso validation. Nice

@CyberdyneC @Programancer I consider Thoughts on Flash to be the definitive event that doomed this timeline

@Programancer i'm losing it in these comments because i genuinely can't tell if people don't know this was an infinite loop in the original flash also, flash was the greatest media production platform ever and we are a degraded society for having lost it

I was showing my girlfriend's teenage kid this and Fabulous Secret Powers and said "you think your generation has the monopoly on brainrot" and she responded with "Why are these videos so long?"

@sammycore333 Blepharoplasty It can often be included as part of FFS by many surgeons, and is often covered by insurance if you're in a location where FFS in general is covered by insurance

do eyebags ever go away or is it kinda a permanent look

@beatami_ But consider: clothes expensive. Especially nice clothes

people who dont change much or try a bunch of new vibes/fashions during transition confuse me. girl u were a husk! i highly doubt you got it right that first time!

@pompomend Time to save up for ribxcar and/or relocate somewhere where it might be covered by insurance

happy for you tho.

@madis_sins @catkaldir Again: no risk, no gain There is potential but whether it's worth it depends on your personal desperation and risk tolerance

@Featherdither @catkaldir it also massively increases prediabetes risk :P

Pioglitazone post time TLDR; Just don't. There is an extreme lack of evidence that Pio works for gender-affirming fat redistribution in healthy, non-diabetic individuals. The data we have is on patients that are diabetic and have an underlying insulin disorder. There is single case study of one patient taking a completely different drug (rosiglitazone) that lacks any rigorous control on variables. endocrine-abstracts.org/ea/0019/ea0019… Several users on my server have tried it against advice, and the three outcomes have been: no changes, and serious fluid retention (edema), and bladder pain.

@madis_sins @catkaldir Also MK-677 does increase secretion of IGF1 as well, so there's that

@Featherdither @catkaldir lurk moar (on pubmed)

@madis_sins @catkaldir "Why do transfem breasts usually grow smaller than cis breasts" "IGF1, WNT, maybe FGF I think" "How do you know" "IDK just vibes. It's obvious, right?"

@Featherdither @catkaldir has there been any large scale study for trans people regarding the idea that water has hydrogen in it?

@madis_sins @catkaldir Have there been large-scale studies for trans individuals regarding all of those? I was never under the impression that it would be a fix-all, but at normal doses and treatment length, acromegaly/cancer risk from MK-677 is minimal, so it's at least worth a look

@Featherdither @catkaldir igf1 signaling, wnt signaling, i think random FGF signaling is also involved. but all of those get downregulated as you get older. its very multifaceted and not just "oh take growth hormone"
