Synthetic Hormones have higher health risk factors, hence the lower doses and reliance on anti androgens, and is why they are being phased out. Bioidentical Hormones are much safer at higher doses, which can eliminate the extra complications of anti androgens, but confusion in the medical fraternity sees doctors referring to the old studies like the Women's Health Initiative which is about synthetics, and applying those risk factors to bioidenticals. This is why we see so many doctors mandating low levels for bioidenticals, and still relying on anti androgens. This misinformation in the medical fraternity is why the effectiveness of bioidenticals is sometimes seen as inferior to synthetics, and has been the cause of much suffering in trans women, and cis women seeking menopause relief. I've heard it said that this will die out as older doctors retire, but I am seeing many younger doctors falling into the same mistake as so many professional bodies base their standards on whether WHI. I have read medical publications from this year which are still referring to the WHI, so it will curse us for many years to come. Hugs, Allie -

People have said I am going there behind my back…. Come to think of it, there were some folks saying it pretty openly at our local Pride Fest. I do have family members praying for me of course. I appreciate their concern. If I end up there I'll be surprised. If there is such a place, I can't see being Ivy as the best way to get there. I suppose there other reasons though. But the longer I was in the book club, the harder it was to understand it at all. -

My least favorite are the ones who have pressure on them to do it as a "spiritual favor" to you, and have caved into the H8 side of our lives. Yes, I had one person tell me that was why they began misgendering me. They had been convinced that they and I would go to HE double toohpicks if they did not do the wrong way. SIGH!!!! -

https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/nancy-mace-calls-trans-people-a-slur?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=994764&post_id=152665567&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=k5hac&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email Well, it might not accomplish anything. But it seems like somebody should at least object to it. I can understand why McBride didn't want to make a fuss, but for cat's sake, are we just supposed to bend over and take it? We're almost certain to lose the SCOTUS ruling as well. These people are on a roll. Their problem is that we exist, so it's kinda had to compromise with them other than by our mass suicide - which I'm kinda not up for. -

Yeah, we still need that. My daughter kinda "lives" with me, but I seldom see her. She's been at her boyfriend's for the last couple of days. I think his place is warmer LOL. -

@Ivy one of the reasons I went back to work was I needed the social interaction. it was 26° this morning lots of frost on my car at 4am when I went to work. -

Yes, I agree that it can be very annoying, not to mention hurtful if it's done with malice. A real friend or a nice coworker would not keep doing that. Carolyn Marie -

I’m Oli (they/she/he). I’m from British Columbia, Canada. I started exploring my gender during college. I was pretty lucky to have a safe space try out different pronouns, and to explore binding and seeing how I felt in different gender presentations. It was an amazing experience until my parents found out. Their negative response was pretty difficult for me at the time. Now as a couple years have passed, I have settled into the term Genderfluid to describe myself. I’d say that I range from feeling more like a butch woman, to a Demi-boy to someone with no gender at any given time. Occasionally I even feel like a femme princess for like 10 minutes and then it passes haha. I tend to fixate on hair and clothes sometimes, as if finding the perfect presentation will fix everything, but I don’t think the perfect presentation for me even exists. And it’s exhausting and just unrealistic to have to focus so much energy into correctly deciphering what my gender is every day, dress accordingly and then know that it might change throughout the day. So I mostly try to just work on feeling confident that I can be any gender no matter the clothes I’m wearing or my haircut. Anyways, I feel most myself when I’m gardening or volunteering on a farm, dancing or sipping some cream of earl grey tea. I’m lucky to be out at work, in a very inclusive environment and most of my coworkers use my pronouns. My partner is also extremely supportive and I am so grateful for that. I’ll end this here, sending solidarity to you all. -

Awe, bless, I like to go walking in the countryside to uplift my spirits, it is a sad fact that the news is always themed around negative confutations.My partner passed away four years ago (Dennis) and since his passing friends of ours have always said and kept in touch, each Wednesday I get picked up and taken out for a meal this Wednesday just gone we went to our favourite haunt, the red fox I think having great neighbours helps too kat -
