i've been asked to find a source for puberty blockers by an acquaintance whose son has been taken off puberty blockers by the uk government and health service rule changes.

I'm not optimistic about this, as i've looked for it before and not been able to find anything. i also warned them it was extremely expensive. but they wanted me to look anyway. i have looked, and not been able to find anything.

does anyone have any sources? specifically triptorelin or a similar gnrh agonist. parents don't seem willing to consider letting their son start hormones.

Found a snail eating away at some terf rubbish, I gave them a little help but they were really loving those corners!

I just need to share some meandering thoughts, please bear with me.

The way I think and feel emotions is strange to me. I've spent so much time in my own head conceptualizing things I can't always process my own thoughts.

I feel like there's this veil over all my perception that I can just barely catch a sense is there. I especially get it when listening to music with certain ethereal sounds. Sleep is another avenue where I try to press on this boundary, but I've never felt like I've broken through. I have a vague spiritual sense about it and I feel like realizing my trans identity was the biggest turn towards understanding it. I'm also neurodivergent with ADHD and a good bit of trauma, when I started my stimulant meds it made all these things more manageable, but there's still this uncomfortable disquiet always on my mind. Anyone else feel this way or something akin to it?

Hey folks, a handful of people seemed interested in a public group chat, so now you have one!

I will be appointing mods asap. Please message me in this thread if any of you are interested in spearheading this project. Same basic rules for being a mod apply, just be a socialist and not cis.

so i just started hrt and im doing diy E monotherapy injections. im abt to do my 5th weekly injection. im planning on lowering my dosage bc i think i started too high. i was aiming to suppress my T fast but i think it happened already bc my cum is clear and watery and i ejaculate a small volume. my first week i was planning on doing estradiol enantate 11 mg every 14 days, but i didn’t like the huge difference between peak and trough that it would cause so i have been doing 5 mg weekly but that should put me around 300 pg/mL which i dont think is uncommon for monotherapy but it’s working so well i think a lower dose would be better.

i was considering doing 2 mg weekly enantate injections plus 2 mg daily oral E bc ur liver turns some estradiol into estrone and there’s some evidence that E1 helps feminize. is this a reasonable regimen? would planned parenthood prescribe me oral E as well as a testosterone cream/gel to prevent penis atrophy and help with performance ive been struggling since starting hrt? planned parenthood is prob my best option in my area. would they prescribe me 6 months of E if i act like im doing two 2 mg daily instead of one? like they prescribe for 90 days but it will last me 180

I actually don't know but I've been thinking about it a lot and I don't feel comfortable with masc gender norms. at the same time i feel kind of comfortable with my name/pronouns but I'm going to try they/them pronouns on hexbear. That is all. Have a great day comrades

You can find their site hosting their links here: https://transmascring.netlify.app/

I've been looking into small little fun ways to tie us into the wider trans community and decided hooking into webrings would be cute. As you can see, our link is now near the bottom on their resources page, and their link is in our sidebar.

Eventually said that this webring will have a unique little icon, will ask about getting it added as an emoji eventually

I'm a recently cracked egg moving towards Eepy Princess, but would eventually like to be more of a Goth Power Mommy.

Expanding on the title: I got my first prescription for hormones today (a SERM and an antiandrogen!) and while there is great hope and joy, I also find the prospect daunting. I am wondering what types of photos, physical objects, etc. other people have appreciated having for themselves. Maybe they mark how far you've come, where you hope to be, or what it means to be you through it all

Thank you in advance and I love you

This place is the safest I have ever felt online, I want it to continue to be a safe space, for comrades old and new.

This is a collaborative space, we can help each other grow, and be our bestest selves.

or something, be nice, be comradely. When it feels like shit, take breaks (as outlined by the code of conduct lol)

Hey folks, hoping to have a semi-permanent thread for compiling resources to make finding really cool posts easier. Please suggest links and info in the comments below. I consider this necessary because there's a lot of things we would like pinned but obviously things get very crowded quickly. This thread will start sparse and I will edit new things in as people suggest them.

so i've thought about getting a script as a sort of one-two punch. one, to save my thinning hair so it can still look cute. two, the side effects would be scary if they weren't basically just "ooops you transed yourself"

oh noes... what ever will i do if i grow boobies and my body hair thins

but seriously, some of the side effects (depression) I thought were maybe from cis men getting gender dysphoria but seems even transfemmes have experienced it. at least reading some reddit posts

anyone had experience with this? i'm hoping it can be a sort of gateway to everything else. dip my toes in the hormone adjustments

and minoxidil has never seemed to work for me. i know i won't get my hair line back but i'm cool with that.

been doing estradiol injections for 2.5 weeks now, and there are noticeable changes already! unfortunately theyre mostly annoying lol. my nipples are super sensitive and my shirts are irritating them. also the meat of my breast (what little exists rn) is a bit tender. cant wait to get growth! gotta remember to take my multivitamin to keep my B12 and folic acid intake high

my dick dont work. it does actually but its harder to get it up :( i heard that continues until you add progesterone so im going to start P as soon as i get my first blood tests in a couple months. if anyone has good DIY source for prog powder pls DM me. its nice that i dont get random erections anymore tho

also my ejaculate is so thin and low volume. i thought it would take longer for sperm production to stop but ig thats good right?

i decided to change from enantate injection every two weeks to weekly. i did my first shot at 11 mg, but the last two were 5 mg. i feel good. it feels good to be working towards becoming myself

One of the fun parts about being trans is now there's this name that the government and most strangers recognize me as that I and my close friends don't, but every time I think about the fact that I have a deadname now, I keep getting struck by this strange feeling that my deadname never felt like mine, even through years of me actively using it as my name. I remember trying to change it was I was about 17 but I never did because I only tried to think of masc names. For as long as I can remember, I could never look at my deadname and feel like it was mine. I didn't like it and it felt strange to even associate that name with me; I only ever did because the only alternative I could think of was just not having a name, which would have been a massive inconvenience. I never even really thought it was a bad name, I just hated it for me

Did anyone else ever feel like this or am I just crazy?
