I’m so happy for you!! I can say that like. Even over a decade in to transition I still love being a woman. Ive talked to trans women who say that it faded for them with time but I think that just never really happened with me. I get gender euphoria all the time and it feels so awesome getting to be a girl. I know how amazing that feeling is and how much it saved my own life. I’m glad that you get to experience it too :)

Thanks for the resources! I actually think I will link to this list in the transfem sidebar.

I think this calculator might be useful here.

Take all the oral versus rectal route stuff with a grain of salt. The studies thus far have been mostly done on cis women and were measuring blood levels directly, not results. The way that progesterone interacts with stuff like breast development is not super well understood either, nor are the levels at which good development can be expected. I read a study fairly recently that suggested that there was not a large difference in satisfaction rates for patients taking it orally versus rectally, both reported positive side effects. Empirically it is hard to accurately measure things like this.

I have tanner stage 5 breasts, and developed them to that stage before taking progesterone. My friend who takes hers rectally, and has for a couple years now, has tanner stage 4 breasts. Its anecdotal but I think is a good example of progesterone being less well understood.

I love that top!! Looks super cute on you. Also a huge fan of your phone case haha. You’re really pretty, hope you’re having a lovely day :)

I would take them both at night. I’m not sure how much of a difference itll make though. Thats just how ive always taken it.

Congratulations 😊 I got mine done earlier this year and was very hyped about it haha. Its a bit more of an involved process where I’m from, it took me over a decade to get it done lol

Congratulations!! 🩷

Super cute! :) hope you have a lovely day 🩷

Absolutely. My entire friend group changed. I dont really like traditional masculinity and never did before I transitioned either, but I tried very hard to. After transitioning i had decided to stop living for other people and live for myself. So I made friends who I actually liked and relate to. I made friends who encouraged and supported me.

Tbh I’m not a fan of how youve chosen to word this. It comes across as weirdly antagonistic towards other folks here.

I also think that language is important and what’s being left out here is the context behind why other people are shutting you down. Patriarchy fucks with all our lives and the oppression of women as an assigned class to the advantage of men as an assigned class is real and worth discussing. But I think that how we talk about that does matter. And I can see how language could quickly devolve this subject away from the central point of class solidarity and liberation.

Trans women have as varied opinions as any class of people. Studies consistently show that trans people as a whole are strongly left leaning and pro minority rights. Not to say that misogyny doesnt exist in trans communities but it is not uniquely common in trans communities.

Who are you having your surgery done with? I’m hopeful to get gendered correctly on the phone at least once in my life time lmao

Ouuuu I haven’t tried this brand before. Exfoliation day is always my favorite haha

No stress! 😊

Adore the overalls Ada, happy belated TDOV! 🩷 you are without a doubt one of my trans idols. Thank you for all the work you do creating and maintaining Blahaj Zone, and for co-moderating this community with me. 😊

Welcome to the Transfem community and congratulations on getting SRS! 🥰 I hope your recovery goes spectacularly and that you’re handling post-surgical care well! I had SRS over 2 years ago now and the first year of recovery was hard but SO worth it.

Hope youre having a great day! 😊

Trying hard to not be this person anymore but holy moly I say a lot of those things on a daily basis 😅

I’m happy you’ve come to this realization, it must feel nice to understand a bit more about yourselves in this way. This is absolutely a plural positive community. I hope you all feel welcome here. :)

I am a lesbian and I really have no desire to gatekeep what labels someone uses to describe their sexuality. It’s up to other people to convey their preferred labels to me for the purposes of clear communication. But ultimately it doesn’t really affect me at all.

I think prioritizing the rigidity of definitions is the business of fascists. Words are not sacred. We should be the end all be all for the labels we use for our gender and sexuality, no one else should get to decide them for us.

If the term bi-lesbian has meaning to you, that’s alright. I’m glad you’ve found a label that feels right to you.
