You’re not likely to have the energy to do anything beyond lounging around for at least a week or two, I’d plan on taking at least a month off work.

https://transfemscience.org/articles/e2-equivalent-doses/ in particular here.

Pretty much.

It’s either my alarm clock or 5.1 speakers, both of which would be somewhere over 20 years old.

Follow international medical guidelines (i.e. WPATHv8) as a baseline, actually listen to trans people, and be willing to deviate based on patient need.

Have the trans community involved in governance in a non-tokenestic way, e.g. seats on the board.

Took me maybe a year to fully stop doing.

Testosterone can convert to estradiol via aromatase, however there’s no metabolic pathway in the other direction.

👀

For estradiol pills, patches, and gel are your options if you can’t do needles.

Pills aren’t recommended for over 45s or those with a history of blood clots, due to increased risk of blood clots.

I think I read something about her sister handling it now.

For pre-op http://fuckingtranswomen.org/ is generally what is recommended.

Unfortunately she passed away before writing the post-op version.

Yes, it took me maybe 6-12 months after I was out to stop doing it.

Still happens rarely, usually for phrases that are gendered that I’d not be using often.

For those looking, https://ko-fi.com/blahajzone is in the server description.

There’s also a mispaste of that under the “Empathy” header of that description.

I’m sure the GDPR won’t cause them any problems in that regard, just like there haven’t been repeated rulings from the ECJ that that’s not okay to do with Facebook user data.

My main mastodon uses one of the hosted services, which I’m totally fine with. Moderating a community is hard enough without adding extra sysadmin work on top, and I’m happy to donate towards the running costs whatever way the admins choose is best to run it.

If you’re suitable for laser (have dark hair) then do laser first, then electrolysis for cleanup. This will be cheaper and faster. Make sure you’re actually getting laser and at an appropriate fluence (energy per unit area), and watch out for IPL which is not laser and unlikely to do much on testosterone-influenced beard hair.

Otherwise, you’ll have to rely on electrolysis alone.

In Settings there’s a “Show Read Posts” which is probably it.

You could click “Create Community” and set one up.

Laser is one way, and it sounds like your hair is the right colour for it.
