I was researching voice feminization surgery yet again a while back and somehow landed on transgendermap.com: https://www.transgendermap.com/medical/surgery/voice/feminization/ There was a reference to voicefem.com there and some youtube reviews. There are plenty of before/after Rainbow Readings for voicefem.com on their Instagram, but not many longer term reviews and really nothing about the overall process. I wanted […]
I encountered this article on BBC.com regarding trans women and the pressure cis women lesbians feel to have sex with them… frankly it rubbed me the wrong way, so much that I felt compelled to respond in an unofficial way (the only way I can respond to a hyperbolic sensationalist syndication). The lesbians who feel […]
Recently I started Progesterone, specifically 100mg “bio identical” Oral Micronized taken as suppository (hole poked in the capsule with a safety pin, run under water for a second to soften, then insert with a little lubricant for priming). Without doing a lot of research I noticed some things simply based on the effects I felt […]
For about 8 months at the time of this writing, I’ve been struggling to figure out if I’m Male to Female (MtF) or Male to NonBinary (MtNB). Initially I started HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) as an experiment for my mental health; specifically depersonalization and anhedonia; I identified as a cis man who was taking Estradiol […]
There is a trend in transgender research that I’ve noticed – a lack of evidence in either direction is often considered the “gold standard” for clinical practices. This is blatantly absurd. 1. Clinical Review: Breast Development in Trans Women Receiving Cross-Sex Hormones Results: Only few studies with low quality of evidence addressed these topics. The […]
A lot of people start HRT using blockers such as Spironolactone to suppress Testosterone with the goal of achieving typical cis women levels for optimum feminization. Some people even try a “low and slow” method of antiandrogen monotherapy for several months before starting Estradiol therapy. One frequent question is whether Estradiol Monotherapy (only dosing Estradiol […]
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 […]
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 […]
