One is a bigger needle that has to be administered by a nurse into your butt and is a slower release, you only have to get it done every few months. The other is smaller and can be self-administered (this is the method I’m doing since I live in woop-woop and getting a doctor to reliably administer it for me is a nightmare) and is done approximately every 4 weeks.

You’re fine, I appreciate the information! I have a friend going through the same process as you and I’m always intrigued hearing her side of it all too.

Nah, there are two different types of injections, so there are 4 methods all together.

I’ve only been on it a couple of months, so I haven’t noticed any changes yet, but thanks!

There seem to be fewer options for T. There are two types of intramuscular injections, patches, or gel. As far as I’m aware, those are the only options.

I only got notified about it today, so idk.

This literally happened to me but the other way around when I picked up my T injections 😭

It’s the default setting here and sometimes they forget to turn it off before posting.

What does the colour Keith look like?

Forearm would probably look good, or shoulder! My tattoo is on my shoulder but I plan to get more. I guess it just depends if you want/have more. Or if you want to be able to hide it. Shoulder is easy to hide. I regret that mine is so well hidden.

Bloodborne was definitely my favourite of the Souls games.

Oh, I do remember those guys! That would be an awesome tattoo, you should go for it! Where were you thinking of putting it? A decent tattoo artist should be able to work with you to figure out a cool design with it.

Yep! It was the hunter rune! It was really cool.

Actually did talk to a stranger about this somewhat recently! He had a Bloodborne tattoo on his arm, which prompted me to initiate a conversation. Highly recommend.

Hey chica bella, I understand your fears, I’ve just started my medical journey and I have the same doubts. It’s very common, I think, to feel that way. Just remember that you can be trans without meds, and there’s no minimum bar for being trans. I know it’s easy to feel those facts are fine for others but don’t apply to yourself, if you’re anything like me, at least. Maybe find some trans women to watch on YouTube? I’ve found watching other trans people and hearing their points of view has really helped me. Good luck! 🫂

Been a rough week. Broke up with my partner of almost 6 years, and been questioning my identity. I don’t know how to figure that out. Fortunately, at least in regards to the breakup, I have some really good friends to talk to and hang with. Also found out my sister and niece will be moving in here next week and that’s going to be a nightmare. I need to move out but I have nowhere else to go and no job yet. It feels like I’ll never be able to get a job. My depression has been worse, even with the meds. Ah well.

I got my licence 2 years ago at 35! I initially tried at 16 but my mother was just horrible to drive with and scared me off learning for a long time. When I actually got it I did lessons with an instructor for a long time and that was much better for building my confidence.

The first part was posted yesterday

I think you’re right, my bad!

I’m pretty sure the skull in the image is a partial reconstruction based on what we have. The lighter parts are the existing skull fragments and the darker parts are the reconstruction. Like a puzzle with missing pieces.

Ah, thanks. That’s good to know.

I went to university (Australia). I struggled a lot but finally made it through with a Computer Science degree, just in time for AI to fuck everything up. Now I’m a year and a half post-degree and still unable to get a job.

As for why, I went because it was the “right” thing to do. My younger sister got a degree and a “real” job and was doing well. She’s the golden child, and I guess I wanted that praise and love from my parents too. So I went to uni to get a degree too. But I’m still failing. Still worthless in their eyes.

I’m sorry for being a nuisance.

Yeah, that tracks.
