Hi folks,
Name's Kate, some of you may remember me under the old user name GQPat. Anyway, in reading this thread I'm surprised that no MTF-spectrum person has mentioned the moral quagmire that comes with being vegetarian/vegan and taking PREMARINE as the main source of estrogen.
This is my case
I've tried other forms of estrogen and they just really
>-bleeped-< me up emotionally in a way that PREMARINE doesn't (for those not in the know, PREMARINE stands for PREgnant MAre uRINE). When I was on estrace I literally felt like I wasn't on HRT but the thought of going back to PREMARINE felt ethically wrong. Even though, when I was taking PREMARINE I felt balanced, calm, centred, etc.
Now, I've simply resigned myself to the fact that I have to ingest animal products to function in the world. It's not the worst thing but it's not ideal you know?
Sorry if this was really incoherent, I'm still a lil' sleepy.
xoxo
Kate
P.S. It's nice to see that these boards are still active, it's been at least a year since I posted here.
