Hey! I understand the usefulness of the image. Could you perhaps find one that does not have a person in it? Like. A diagram or something? One of the rules of this community is no NSFW images. Thank you :)
Id weigh in on the subject matter but honestly I am inflexible and probably in the same boat lol
I find this notion worthless and misguided. Being a fascist is a product of deliberate ignorance, not a failure to understand. Her mind wasn't shockingly expanded when her father died. She just got angry enough about the injustice of her situation to slightly abandon her spiteful disdain for all things progressive and good for the people and the world.
Note her repeated insistence that the right and the left both want safer roads. It is not and never has been the left pushing for roads to be less safe. The fascists adopted road safety as another cause they could ideologically appropriate for the cause of disdain. The fascist ideology requires a constant never ending source of outrage, even after they have taken power. The enemy must always be present and scheming with trivial political matters. Everyone is aware that roads being less safe will result in more people dying. They just do not care. They disdain the idea of caring. They disdain the idea of doing something to make roads safer.
As an Autumn, I think you should go with Autumn. It suits you and goes well with your first and last. Plus Autumn is just a cute name in general, though I may be biased haha
HRT effects take place over a very long period of time. Give yourself a chance. I know that you want to go from point A to point E but you have to give yourself time to get there.
Nurture yourself. Work on your mental health, take good care of yourself physically. Like you will get the best results of HRT if you are in the best place otherwise to receive them. Its unfortunately not something you can rush. You must gradually work towards it. If passing really really matters to you then work on your mannerisms, voice train, practice with makeup, develop your fashion sensibilities and invest time in your presentation. All those things take time to develop too, and its also totally valid to not bother with any of it. I am a very conventionally feminine woman and those things have mattered to me so I have worked a lot on them. It all takes time.
And to echo statements in other comments, you're never too late to transition. You look really pretty and you will absolutely have great results with time. Try your best to be patient with yourself.
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 :)
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.
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
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.
Yeah thats absolutely fine. Thanks :)
This one genuinely inflicts psychic damage to my brain.
Your hair is beautiful :)

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.

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.

Super cute! :) hope you have a lovely day 🩷
Become famous. I dont understand whats so confusing about that.

I wonder to what extent placebo would exist here.
And yet you are responding to it seriously.
