I was interested in taking Finasteride to see if it helped with hair loss and also to limit localized DHEA to DHT conversion in my body (side stepping Testosterone to DHT conversion). I was prescribed 5mg daily, which is a lot, but I thought it would make side effects very apparent. For me Finasteride was […]

My Non Binary Transfeminine Timeline
I started HRT without any specific physical goals in mind, other than the hope that it might help with my issues of depersonalization. It ended up helping a lot with Dopamine function right away (correcting anhedonia) and slowly after 4+ months it helped a little with depersonalization. At the time of this writing (20210205) I […]
The many strange ways you can regrow long lost hair!
We’ve all been told to preserve what hair we have by being proactive… well I never did that and didn’t care for almost 2 decades as I continued to become increasingly bald. This has led me to investigate various methods of hair recovery and their efficacy. Some of the items listed here are very well […]
Which Labs are best for Transfeminine HRT?
If you are transgender/transfeminine which labs should your doctor order to monitor levels, or if you are DIY/no insurance, how do you get them, and how much does it cost? Dr. William Powers has this list posted in his wiki: 4021 – ESTRADIOL 10231 – COMPREHENSIVE METABOLIC PANEL 6399 – CBC (INCLUDES DIFF/PLT) 745 – […]
Bicalutamide has no established safety guidelines.
When I asked my first HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) doctor about trying Bicalutamide 50mg they simply said no. That first doctor was Plume in case you are trying to use Plume to get your hands on Bicalutamide – they will flatly decline for safety concerns. The thing about Bicalutamide is that there are not a […]
My experience with Bicalutamide was not great…
Anecdotal First Hand Experience I had such high hopes for Bicalutamide that I switched doctors primarily to give it a try, because my prior doctor was unwilling. There are no clinical guidelines for safety, so I came up with my own: 1x 50mg Wait 48 hours for any adverse reaction 1x 50mg Wait 48 hours […]
How long does Feminization actually take? Are you stunted?
When reading about how long fat changes take once HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) begins (Estradiol, or E2), you’ll find the scale of months or years; both anecdotally and on Wikipedia: 1. Transgender hormone therapy (male-to-female) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transgender_hormone_therapy_(male-to-female) Effect Time to expectedonset of effect[a] Time to expectedmaximum effect[a][b] Permanency if hormonetherapy is stopped Breast development and nipple/areolar enlargement 2–6 months […]
Signs of Gender Dysphoria can be different for everyone.
My depersonalization was very bad and my depression was more or less life long – since about age 10. My trans-sister came out when she was age 27 and I was just baffled… simply baffled. You don’t feel like your gender? You cross dress? I literally had to see a photo of her dressed in […]
Novel and off-label ADHD medications you’ve never heard of.
If you talk to a psychiatrist, like I have, they will mention stimulants as a treatment for ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). Commonly “Adderall” or “Ritalin” for example. While researching various other topics and bouncing ideas around with people online, I’ve run into a fair number of other novel, off-label, or less considered medications that […]
Estradiol impact on Autism Spectrum Disorder, Empathy, and Depersonalization
When I started investigating depersonalization I ran into this medium.com article: Depersonalization in gender dysphoria: widespread and widely unrecognized https://medium.com/@zinniajones/depersonalization-in-gender-dysphoria-widespread-and-widely-unrecognized-baaac395bcb0 Cool… I was in a dark place and my depersonalization I realized was sky high. Was it always this bad? I felt like my body was a stranger’s body and I was stuck inside of […]
