This is huge, thank you so much! I’m sorry to hear how stressful your situation has been, the US healthcare system does indeed suck.

That bad, huh?

I was not attracted to men before. Now, I am still not attracted to men. I do find myself understanding the appeal more now, if that makes sense.

I’m trying so hard not to be jealous! You look amazing girlfriend!

I was told the other day by someone younger than me that saying “okay boomer” is cringe now. The new hot hip fan-didly-tastic slang is “unc status” or “aunt status”, apparently. Means the same thing, but in sleek Gen-Z packaging.

Hi! So ymmv, but this was my experience.

I also had taken years to become more comfortable with sex, prior to starting hrt. I have been on hrt now for almost a year, and things have changed a lot.

however

The changes were all things that I was able to clearly communicate to my partner, which made it easier for her. I wasn’t confused, just knew that my body appreciates a different approach now.
I would say that I started from an “okay” place, sexually. Now I am very confident and comfortable.

My libido took a dive initially, but is now up to a level I am happy with. I think it’s improved since I feel more desirable now. I don’t worry anymore, “ugh, why would anyone want to have sex with that,” when I look in the mirror.

Thank you, kind stranger!

Well I know what his church’s next fundraising campaign will be.

It’s the lighting of the board more than the handwriting that looks fake, although that is very clean handwriting if real.

I don’t disagree, but I still want to see more of this. This is a good thing.

That is the most unhinged dick and balls I’ve ever seen

I’ve been kicking the can down the road but I finally installed Linux last weekend. Couldn’t be happier to have Windows garbage off my PC.

Spoiler for the Alien franchise: the 1% is bad, mkay?

I had both tested, but the T results are just taking longer. Thanks for the concern :)

That’s a good point. My shot was on a Sunday, and the test was taken on a Tuesday.

For context, I know we have this chart

in the transfem literature, but my doctor also provided this table with my results:
Female
Follicular Phase: 12-233 pg/mL
Ovulation Phase: 41-398 pg/mL
Luteal Phase: 22-341 pg/mL
Postmenopausal: <138 pg/mL
Which seems to suggest that my level would be acceptable.

NY, MA, WA, IL, OR, CO, CT, DE, DC, HI, ME, MD, MI, MN, NV, NJ, RI, VT

to have the same surgeon perform the orchi and later the vaginoplasty.

This is really good advice, thanks.

Have you gone to local trans support groups and spoken with any local trans women who have had an orchi?

I have never knowingly met another trans person IRL. I’m in a pretty red area, but I’m sure there are others. I have no idea where I’d look though.

I could always try to see how that experience goes for her and find out her surgeon if that would help… I can also DM you details of my surgeon

I would appreciate that!

Very true!

I agreee that he wants to be a dictator, 100%.
I do think a lot of his supporters would make a comparison to “Obamacare” if you said that to them. Not a good comparison, but a comparison nonetheless.
