happy wednesday EEnjection day!

💉 :blobhaj_heartslove:

I’m about to write an email to the corresponding author of the #Progesterone study. This is my current draft:

Dear Koen,

in 2024 you and your team registered a study with BMC Pharmacology and Toxicology in which you declare that you will perform a 1 year study on the effects of progesterone and higher Estradiol-levels in the treatment of transgender individuals. Considering that this was now 1.5 years ago, that you had essentially finished recruiting of participants at the time, and that this is a fully pre-registered study, I am somewhat surprised that you still seem to not have published the results.

I am sure that you are aware that many transgender individuals are awaiting these results not least because many endocrinologists even outside VUMC are refusing to prescribe progesterone, pointing to this supposedly soon to be available study. Naturally this is creating avoidable tension and I am aware of several trans women who have expressed the intention of self-medicating progesterone on top of their officially provided HRT regiments.

It is with this background, that I’d like to know what the current status is and when we can expect the final publication.

Best Regards,
Dr. Fiona Weber

Thoughts anyone?

I figure that this is one of those places where dropping my PhD might be useful; I’m a bit uncertain about the ambiguity regarding my own situation: It’s obvious from my website (trivial to find from my email) that I’m a transgender cryptographer, not a medical doctor, but it’s not like I claim to be. It might come across as me implying it in a deceiving manner though, which could be harmful… So I’m not sure if I should just say it directly to avoid that scenario.

Androcur/Cyproteronacetat-Engpass bei Hormontherapien - was tun?

Bei einer feminisierenden Hormontherapie muss man Testosteron unterdrücken, damit das Östrogen/Estradiol seine Wirkung entfalten kann. Dafür gibt es das Medikament Androcur (Wirkstoff Cyproteronacetat), ein Anti-Androgen. Die meisten nehmen 5mg am Tag.

Understanding Blood Clots on HRT: A Personal Journey

Yes, I have a blood clot. This post contains very important information for any transgender person on HRT.

Why you should NEVER self medicate

Now I have always been with GenderGP since starting HRT 13 months ago. This last month I am now glad I did and not self-medicated.

I have a blood clot thanks to HRT. As far as I know, there are two types of blood clots, Deep Vena Thrombosis (DVT) and Superficial Thrombophlebitis (ST).

Types of Blood Clots

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition […]

I am not trying to scare anyone, I just want you to prepare to stock your fridge with healthy, easy access snacks, TONS of protein, and filling foods!

I failed to do this before my first injection yesterday, even though each gel increase made me feel like I had never seen food in my life (for like 1-2 months).

Now I am so hungry all sense has left my brain.

This is one of the reasons the side effects say "may cause weight gain" - other is muscle growth!

#testosterone #HRT #trans #nonbinary

To any persons who are planning to go on #HRT - specifically testosterone, I want to issue you a warning:

Be prepared to be HUNGRY. And I don't mean, "oh I could eat", I mean the kind that makes you feel like puking, your stomach feels like it is eating itself away, and you want to raid your fridge at 2am, and your neighbours fridge too - and maybe go at the non-perishables in the pantry even after big breakfast.

It is 100% worth it, but doctors fail to mention this.

#trans #nonbinary #T

One week until #orchi . And bottom #dysphoria is re-emerging like a regrown Hydra head. It feels like it's back with a vengeance (for now)...and I HATE it.

Fortunately, I also feel as though it'll be a gigantic relief once I wake up from the IV and see that the awkward bulge-causers are no longer there.

I'm at the point where I feel as though I should get the ball rolling [no pun intended] on #vaginoplasty while I still can.

I'm also glad I banked sperm before starting #HRT. I am less on-the-fence on at least one bio-kid (provided I'm with a long-term stable partner who feels the same), so I'm glad I didn't slam the door shut. I'd probably prefer carrying a child myself, but I've begrudgingly accepted that isn't in the cards for any #transwoman alive today. So I made do with what I could.

But I'll be out of work for 3 weeks following surgery. And I've offered any #trans friends locally to visit me at my house to check up on me while I'm recovering.

Hi 🙋‍♀️💖

France has a transmedicalism so humiliating and ineffective that biotech transfems started homebrewing. This is a superhero origin story if I've ever seen one 🏳️‍⚧️

#hrt #trans #transfem

Like many of us in France, I started my transition by following the FPATH (French Professional Association for Transgender Health) guideline and had to go through humiliating diagnosis, intensive therapy and gatekeeping only to get prescribed ineffective HRT.

Frustrated with the poor trans healthcare in France, I started looking for better alternative. With a bachelor’s degree in biotechnology and process engineering, my job gave me the knowledge and qualification I needed to compound my own injectable estradiol.

I believe everyone should have the freedom to transition safely and effectively without the need for third party agreement and unreliable doctors who most of the time have no idea of what they’re doing, so after sharing it with my friends, I started to help local associations I’m working with and I now aim to make my HRT solutions accessible to as many people as possible.

My goal is to provide access to cheap, safe and effective HRT for transgender people in a way that the medical system has failed to do so far.

hello,
je suis pour l'instant uniquement sous estro enanthate ~= 9mg tous les ~=14j, (donc cycle de 14j en restant entre 200 et 400 pg/ml)

je viens de rencontrer une endoc pour inclure de la progé dans mon ths,
elle m'a conseillée et préscrit des doses assez faible et du cyclique pour démarrer
(100mg pendant 14/j puis 14j à vide) et qu'on rechecke dans un mois les effets, déjà ca vous semble pertinent ? j'avais l'impréssion que dans le cadre de transition féminisante on préscrivait plus souvent du continu, mais je sais pas si ca change quelque chose.

aussi je me doutais que ce serait évoqué mais ca fait un an que je suis sous ths et j'ai des petits seins et elle parlait de normalement attendre 2 ans pour pas en casser la croissance,

mais j'ai l'impression qu'on sait surtout pas grand chose là dessus,
j'ai lu pas mal de trucs là dessus pas très concluant, des trucs sur les stades de tanner pas très cohérents entre eux (et dans lesquels j'ai pas trop l'impréssion de rentrer et que selon ou je matte je serais pas au même stade),

bref est ce qu'il y a des infos cohérentes quelque part ou on est à l'aveugle total ?
et est ce que ca vous parrait déconnant de démarrer au bout d'un an et avec des petits seins sans vouloir en couper totalement la croissance ?
