One topic I never hear much of, is the fact that many medications such as estrogen can contribute to severe tooth decay. The truth is many medications can interfere with the natural antibacterial qualities of your saliva. Anything from antidepresants to hormones and some street drugs as well. Its not enough that some meds make your mouth dry, some seem to encourage harmful bacterial growth.

My advice is make sure your teeth are in the best shape they can be, prior to starting any hormonal regimen. Unless you like playing pirate with blackened teeth, Arrrg!

Oh, no...no...no....

I always want to read up on things like that...all good info is useful in these forums....

And, Bethany, Honey...everything that I just read indicates that HRT reduces tooth decay....

That's a good thing!

HUGGS!

      What do you think is the biggest block to LGBTQ+ acceptance?

      By kristinabee · Posted

      I really don't think that's a good idea. The unity of the LGB and T community is historic and has been central for both groups rights. And the vast majority of people advocating for splitting the two are transphobic LGB's who are broadly condemned by the community anyway.

      A bit late in updating, but I've had the draft of the official diagnosis and have (as yet unconfirmed) an endo consultation next month.   Next to arrive will be the supporting documentation for my new passport application for my correct gender.  This will then be my official ID for all the other updates - bank, tax, payroll etc.   It just feels good to to be proactive again rather than waiting for other people to move at a leisurely pace.

      Do you use make-up? If so, why and what types?

      By Birdie · Posted

      I like ELF brand cosmetics, I can pick them up at JC Penny.    I wear makeup everyday, but mostly just very light makeup.

      Hi Mae Be, whenever it comes to makeup, there are so many different bands to choose from. Picking out the right makeup comes with trial and error, until you find one that works for you and blends well with your skin tone, some makeup products can leave the skin feeling oily. It's a good idea to look at the labels on the makeup product to know what the creators put in the makeup, just in case skin allergies. Once you found the makeup brand, you can add it to your shopping list, good luck

      To be fair I’m pretty lost when it comes to makeup technique. I’ve watched videos, but I have no idea what works for or would help my features. So I just bungle along, hoping I don’t look terrible.
