discolé monade Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 (edited) you say you're going through the v.a.? what wasyour time line? how many dr's did you have to see? did they tell you you had to give up certain things (i.e. smoking?) for a year, did they tell you had had to drop a a couple pounds? did they tell you, that once you gave up smoking, that you had to wait another 6 months? ***i would ask if they just simply just flat out finally deny you, by telling you that it wouldn't matter, and let this run it's course, over the next 1.5 years...but you made this post.

All through Veterans Affairs. I brought it up to my primary care doctor in March. They put me in for a consultation cause they knew nothing about HRT then in April I had two appointments with mental health to confirm a gender dysphoria diagnosis before getting booked with a different primary care doctor cause mine either refused or wasn't qualified and had the HRT appointment in late July and had my meds in hand before leaving the VAMC. So around 4 and a half months from saying I wanted gender affirming hormone therapy till I had the Estrogen in my hands... I still smoke but I'm trying to quit and I dropped 70 pounds during the 4.5 months, I wasn't told I had to but making that much of an effort was probably noted. I am truly sorry you have had a Terrible experience and hope you can get things sorted out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discolé monade Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 cis women. as to the why you stated you went to planned parenthood, that has been all but gutted, and you are able to get hormone therapy. and yet, again, i don't know if i would qualify, for hormone therapy for menapause. so, i'm curious about that stat.

I'm aware of the efforts to errode access to care for cis women's reproductive health as an attack on reproductive rights and body autonomy in general. you should know many of the same fascists behind that are trying to legislate trans people out of existence in many of the same states. the reason i got access to care isn't because I'm trans, it's because i moved to a state where informed consent is the norm and where planned Parenthood hasn't been gutted. I try to always remind myself how fortunate i am to have been able to do that as much as possible. if i had lived in a state where access to reproductive healthcare was limited in such a way i guarantee you i wouldn't have access to hrt, and would likely have to DIY my transition. cis women who live near me aren't losing care to trans people, and likely have an easier time getting hormone treatment through their primary care physician than a lot of trans people would. our access to care does not take away care from cis women, and when we have access to care cis women are more likely to have access to that same care. i can't seem to find any info in regards to how many cis women can gain access to hormone treatments when needed versus trans woman or trans people in general who can access HRT.m. by sheer numbers I'm willing to bet more cis women get hormones than trans people of all genders do. but that's conjecture and ultimately irrelevant. the people attacking the rights of cis women are also trying to wage genocide on trans people. our fights are against the same people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real_AirCooledGirl Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 I'm three years and a month into HRT myself. It goes by super fast. My boobs grew to a D-cup. My skin softened. I lost muscle mass, not that I was ever jacked to begin with. My overall mood improved drastically. I might be finally seeing the beginnings of fat redistribution. Looking in the mirror and seeing the changes to my body makes me very happy. I look and feel like myself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm around a C Cup but definitely want them to get bigger 😆 I haven't worked out in a while, but I had the remnants of being able to do a 100 pushups in a minute and incline pressing 320lbs , to contend with and wow a month and a half has done wonders for that. That's great may it continue provide evolving results and affirmation meow (I may have lost my train of thought towards the end of that, yay Spiro) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heshi Posted November 1, 2023 Author Share Posted November 1, 2023 (edited) 3 months of Estrogen!!! MEOW My boobs are totally boob shaped now, so that's awesome, my skin is softer and dryer, my hands don't radiate heat anymore and I'm more sensitive to cold, my build is more feminine as my muscles have gotten way smaller and my hips are wider. I dyed my hair for the 2nd time today. Think I've got additional peach fuzz on top of my head , not sure I've noticed much in regards to body or facial hair changes. I'm also dealing with hearing the wrong pronoun worse. Still hate my wrong parts, probably more so with each passing day. But guess I'll upload a picture from an hour ago...

I don't know if it has anything to do with having to keep it short when I was in the military though... sorry for trampling all over what was ment as a nice gesture meow 😰 but wigs are fun, I'd have to do a wig for a pixie cut cause I have a receding hairline, I really really hope HRT will help with that, but it's not a guarantee.

Heshi Posted December 5, 2023 Author Share Posted December 5, 2023 So I'd planned on putting up a 4 month picture, but got a little side tracked and ended up in the Hospital for 5 days shortly my 4 month mark, pancreatitis was like happy anniversary bitch ... But I don't have a gallbladder anymore and it'll be a bit before I'm strutting around but here's the picture I probably was gonna share before being hospitalized.
