So you know how, despite passing 100% in the last 6 months, I was scared to believe I was finally being seen as male? Yeah, this morning I looked in the mirror and for the first time thought "I like what I see, I see a guy, I look good."

And I get called f***ing ma'am by a goddamn cashier.

I talked to the nurse who gave me my injection about it. She said that I should focus on the fact that I was happy with the person looking back at me in the mirror, that it is a huge accomplishment and I should focus on what I believe and know to be true about myself, instead of what some random person thinks. And she's right, but it bothers me because I feel like this wouldn't happen were it not for E messing up my life.,

I'm starting to grow facial hair... Looked into the mirror, big mistake... Trying to distract myself to avoid getting too depressed...

Current insurance-$500 deductible, pay 80% for most things after that, cost $200/month.

New insurance as of 1/1/14 -$6350 deductible, pay 100% after that, cost $220/month.

That high of a deductible, why pay insurance.

I went out with a mixed group last night (4 guys, 2 girls and me)... it was fun, but I was blocked from the girl conversation that was going on next to me... partly because it was too loud, partly because the two girls paired off and didn't seem to be accepting new applicants.

To be fair, I was out in as much guy mode as I can muster in that sort of situation -- which isn't to say much.

I'm not sure I understand how it would affect bandwidth when a new thread is always started.

Medical

feeling alone today, wishing for a nice talk with someone face to face.

my stupid mouse will not stop double clicking.

I feel alone when I'm with all my trans friends, because I'm the only one that isn't full time, or even on HRT. I feel behind because my attempts at getting HRT are not working, and I refuse to resort to self medding.

You do know, all have been where you are; so follow in your own time and lead those behind you. Somewhere in the big wide world, someone is trans without being able to transition.


Even trees are huggable.

Most had to go full time or start self medding before they got HRT. I don't want to do the same.

Not all are being held back.

You are right, not all are being held back. Some are being killed for stating their needs.

*glare* self medding is not overly bad, ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

Hi friends 

Do we need a rule 8 reminder?

Quote8. The discussion of hormone replacement therapy(HRT) and it's medications are permitted, with the following limitations:
A. You may not advocate for or against a specific medication or combinations of medication for personal gain. This is strictly prohibited.
B. You may not discuss the means to acquire HRT medications without a prescription. The discussion of self medication without a doctors supervision is prohibited.
C. The discussion of recommended or actual dosages is strongly discouraged to prevent information obtained on this site from being used to self medicate.
We can not in good conscience condone the self administering of these medications. Not only may self medication be illegal, but HRT medications can cause serious health problems, and many have the potential for life-threatening side effects that can only be detected and prevented with proper medical supervision.

Let's try to keep the site rules in mind please

Thank you

V M

It can fill a need...
...but is still illegal.

I'm not trying to start a fight... but I would never, ever self med myself and can support others who feel the same way. I wouldn't tell anyone not to do it, either.
