Back from my first voice-training lesson. Except that this time it was just the intake and dealt largely with data-collection. Still though, this is really going somewhere now. 😊︎

The good news keeps on piling up: My voice-trainer just called and told me that there is a free spot at noon.
(She already called on Friday, but that was exactly when I was at my GP, so I didn’t get the call then.)

Here's a follow-up #weekendpoll for #transfem peoples from my previous #poll https://trouth.eu/@Kathrin/111115133621911743 (still research for upcoming story):
There's a widespread trope in #porn and #erotica, especially porn art, fetishizing dickgirls, t-girls, however you want to name them. The trope is that of a hyper-feminized body (usually excessive breasts) with a working, pronounced and happily and frequently used cock.
Do you find this trope predominantly...
I actually remembered to do a #TransVoiceFriday message... but at what cost? :TransHeart:

If you're taking cyproterone acetate to block testosterone as part of feminising HRT, the recommended maximum daily dosage is 6.25 to 12.5 mg.
At this level, you will still receive significant testosterone suppression, but the risks associated with the medication are lower.

I think a lot of transfems who start out with permanent hair removal have some misconceptions about when to expect results. What you have to know is that any individual hair can only be treated in its anagen phase. Hairs on some parts of the body are in the telogen (resting) phase for almost a year at a time, meaning that it takes a year before you start seeing the actual effects of your first appointment.

Just got my latest bloodwork results and am just incredibly frustrated >.< After injecting 4 mg of Estradiol Enanthate into my thigh muscles once a week for a month, my estradiol levels come down to...
35 pg/ml, aka perfectly average cis male levels. Not even slightly elevated. When, according to the calculator over at transfemscience.org, it should hover around the 250 pg/ml mark.
I know the song "Bad Body Double" by Imogen Heap is about broader body issues.
That said, the song hits me much harder since starting transitioning. Can't on Earth think why 😅 :TransHeart:

A bit late for a #weekendpoll, but it's semi-urgent, so I thought I'd put this out nonetheless.
A question for #transfem girls out there (research for upcoming story):
If you are pre-op, i.e. still with a penis... (What's that called? Penified? Anyway...) Do you find penetrative sex with your penis...
Major swelling today 😅
Doesn't hurt, but my top lip is pulled a bit tight, slightly affecting my speech & ability to drink from a cup.
Totally worth it though.

I'm truly shocked.
My sister took me to a wig specialist today and I almost cried.
I thought it would be years before I could look even this good.
If this is what 3 months of HRT can do, I can't wait to see what I look like in a year or two!
(Before shot from about 4 years ago included for reference)
We got my ears pierced right after this too :3
I think one of the best things about being a girl for me, is that I’m not perceived as a threat around children.
Today I crossed a kid that looked about 4, fetching a ball. When they saw me approaching they ran to (what I’m assuming was) their mom, and their mom burst out laughing!
Like 😂 my kid is really shy! Not like 😰 my kid is running from a dangerous person!
Yeah... face is definitely swelling up after this session 😅

I think that is pretty much it. Everyone else can learn of my transition either when I see them the next time or through means such as the authorship of my papers changing.
In other words: I’m kinda done with coming out and have In a sense completed my #SocialTansition. 🍾🍾🍾

Whilst my face probably looks super sore, it's actually only feeling a bit warm right now.
I feel like I did a better job at exfoliating & cleaning my face today before applying the numbing cream, as the session hurt a lot less, even on sensitive areas.

I've made a small adjustment to my streaming schedule.
The co-op stream has been moved from Friday nights to Saturday nights.
My new schedule (BST; UTC+1) is:
* Tuesdays 19:30 to 22:00 - solo
* Saturdays 1930 to 22:00 - co-op
I am considering adding a further solo stream on Thursday evenings.

New sim-card, so I’m finally able to log into the system of my health-insurance (beause of two-factor auth) and see what letter my GP wrote for me.
Let’s put it like that: The “bad” news is that I now have to look where I can get voice-training and have my stuff frozen and how I tell my health-insurance that I want the money for my hair-removal back.
The much more important good news is: I have a prescription for all of these things now, so my health-insurance has to pay for them. 😊︎
well its #tummytuesday ... time to slowly get this account going again :black_sparkling_heart:
(That neck tilt sure makes me lock jacked :blobeyes:)
So uh I need some advice on this
I'm planning to go to university in Scotland, and I'm on the GIC waiting list in England
I've just heard from a trusted source (gender outreach worker), that I'd need to transfer to a Scottish GIC, and now I'm super worried because I've heard some bad things about the Scottish GICs (ie that they are worse than English ones)
I just want to know how true that is, because in theory I could keep my home address in England (this was a possibility the GOW mentioned) if the Scottish GICs are really so bad, but I'm not sure if they are
Also, just to be clear, I am not going to DIY it unless it's genuinely the last resort. As much as there's things that can make it safer I do not want to take that risk
Could anyone like tell me if what I've heard is true?
Any advice/help is really welcomed, as are boosts

So, a yearish in, one odd thing I was _not_ expecting from estrogen, but am actually really enjoying: my body odor??
Pre-HRT, despite my T levels being high even for a cis dude, I just kinda...didn't really sweat much, didn't really have noticeable BO, didn't need to use deodorant.
But now it seems like I'm actually sweating _more_ on E, and my body odor has noticeably shifted in a way that I really like! Liking it is not the surprising part - I've generally enjoyed partners' BO - but I hadn't thought about the possibility of _my_ BO becoming more noticeable and...nicer?
Anyway, this brought to you by sweating during some light house cleaning this morning and smiling about it, curious if any other folks have similar experiences! #trans #transfem #hrt
One thing trans fems face in the workplace that I don't think many other able-bodied people face is a need for differently structured medical leave.
Two key aspects of our gender-affirming care, electrolysis and voice therapy, require regular appointments for a year or more. And in the case of electrolysis, these appointments will often be several hours long and we will not be able to work afterwards. Importantly, we often undergo two different series of electrolysis: one for face and body hair to address dysphoria, the second for genital area to prepare for bottom surgery.
Not all trans fems need this, but this is a very different structuring of medical needs than most cis folks - and even many trans masc folks - will ever need. Most folks expect to take all leave in one big chunk for a surgery and recovery, or for an illness. FMLA leave is also structured with this assumption meaning we are not covered consistently.
So what is the consequence of this?
Former WWE star Gabbi Tuft tells her transitioning story.
"Before my transition, I was a WWE star, weighed 280 pounds, and had 6% body fat"

My parents seem to be afraid where the country is headed, about a potential Nazi-victory after the next election; then again they have a lot of complaints about the current system, some of which are plausibly funded in reality, some of which sound a lot more like propaganda spread by the enemy.
Frankly, I get a lot of mixed signals and I’m not sure whether they are complaining to me about these things to vent, to hope for push-back, …
The thing is, I don’t have the strength for that today. The plan is to ask my mother for a private talk after dinner. Essentially at dusk, like I wrote last night. It’s a matter of maybe two or three hours and this time I won’t have the advantage alcohol-lowered inhibitions. I’m scared, even though some part of me knows that I probably don’t have to.
Please wish me luck.
In fairness, I have never claimed to be a typical trans woman 😅 :TransHeart:

Big Transfeminine Advice Thread! 🧵
I'm still a little early in my transition to be giving advice, but after seeing a few girls on here just starting out, I wanted to share a few thoughts looking back on the last 18ish months. Some is stuff I wish I'd known going in or mistakes I made along the way, and some is advice I did get going in from others that I found to be really effective. FYI some of it gets a bit personal and TMI, but I'll warn these in cws.

I don't know which trans folks need to read / hear this today, but you do NOT need to:
• Have started or want to start HRT.
• Have had or want to have any gender-affirming surgeries.
• Be or want to be cis-passing.
• Have or want to have a normative gender-expression.
& you aren't any less valid for being less further along in your own transition than others.
You are valid as you are :TransHeart:
