:( Just a quick question........

I was wondering if anyone knew the difficulties faced by stopping hormones after 7 years on them, what should someone expect?? This is a hard subject for me and has been plauging my mind for some time now.

WOW!

That's a toughie!

But, I'll tell you what....

If you are administered HRT through a doctor. I would phone them and simply ask....

If, not...some Google searches might turn up some help...

But, I have to assume that there would be some effects of quitting after that amount of time...

Please don't stop taking them without getting an answer...

I know that even here in the states a person that was on HRT for a long time went to jail and successfully petitioned to remain on HRT for health reasons and was granted them..

Good luck, Baby...

"Hello!

Your question is outside my ability to answer, but I was really wondering why you'd want to quit.

Thanks, Kat "

Hi Kat.

To answer your question as openly as I can what I can say is that I have virtually given up hope of any kind of surgery. I have been fighting to have an Orchidectomy for the last 3 and a half years still with no success, Im plaugued with body hair that just wonr subside, But the biggest factor is that I am only on a very limited income due to health reasons and have lost the will to fight any more. I dont have the money to even see a shrink to get my approval letters and dont even have a cousellor any longer as I just cannot afford it.

Thank you for your reply sweety, IM due to see my Dr in twio days so will have a talk to him about this.

While I'm no doctor, logically seven years is a long time to be on anything. Your body may not like your decision. For one thing, even though you still have your testicles, if you've been taking anti-androgens and estrogen, they probably aren't functioning properly anymore. Your body wants to have hormonal balance if at all possible. Going off HRT may cause an imbalance that your little fellas down below can't fix.

Just my two cents. Non-redeemable though.

Hi hun,

The other replies are far more informed than I could opine. But you know what bothers me ???, a citizen (or any person) of a

country/ any country should be given medical help free of charge if needed. I get so angry when I read stuff like yours. I mean ,

what the hell is wrong with the powers that be???. Are they told by their electorate not to help folk like us ??? NO, THEY ARE NOT !!!

When we see how much money is wasted by governments around the world ( Im Irish, our wasters are real pro"s) on bureaucracy

etc it just annoy"s me so.Really not being funny here but my friends at home tell me my tough attitude is "pre hrt" and will alter

accordingly . I belong to a peer group at home , I wont mention its name in case its inappropriate but, we , through our psychiatric

docs have access to most of what we need. It takes a while , anything but perfect, but better than nothing. I would love to see a

day when the medical fraternity around the World ACTUALLY listens to us when we talk about our pain, our isolation, all we are

asking for is a "leg up", then we resume our place in society as contributors ....where the hell"s the problem there . I know this

is not a great help hun , I wish I could give more than "venting" , but I cant help my anger. I hope things improve for you .

You know posting helps as we are not alone when we talk ...24/7 here ,so keep talking, someone will come up with a plan for you.

Luv, viv.

      Society is preserved by passing on proper roles for people, which works for the 90+ percent that it works for.   We were all taught from an early age that breaking out of the classification was a shameful thing, even when, actually, it is not. 
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I'm probably showing my age.  I haven't looked at a guest count in a long time.  Doing FB and staying off forums for a while.  Previous forum use had fewer bots if any and guests were actual people, mostly, unlike today.    Any AIs or bots struggling with GD are welcome.  I would love to read your introduction.

      I've seen this on a lot of forums tbh. That's how a lot of content ends up on internet archives. You've got loads of bots scanning the site at all times and archiving it. Forums are actually nice (in comparison to social media) in that the guest count gives you a pretty good idea of how actively the site's content is being archived. Basically just don't post anything you don't want archived.

      Kids are resiliant with therapy and strong support ;-)    They were all elementary age when their dad died and are teens now, and how they've grown and developed as young people, already, takes my breath away.   I'm working on communicating changes clearly and without shame, which is difficult basically all the time because of feeling guilty over doing gender "wrong" for so long. Working on that myself! <3

      Allow me to add that people should think twice about posting pictures of themselves, with the facial recognition software that is out there.  Those in stealth or who are not fully out may discover they are suddenly and unwillingly fully out in ways they wish had not happened.

      Funny how when i read the topic name i thought you were asking about the study of plants and animals.  I'm a bit into that as a farmer at va time when a cell phone makes plant  for insect identification easier than it has ever been.    Now on to your topic.  I don't farm in the nude.  I have wondered at whether i would skinny dip as i did as a kid without thought of how my body might affect others.  The effects of hormones makes me different from the average person and perhaps i'm "neither fish nor fowl".  I would certainly depend on who my fellow passengers on that cruise would be.   Hugs,   Charlize

      This is also a relatively small forum and it can take a long time, seemingly, for someone to get around to replying to a post. 
    • Charlize
      I am also pretty sure that several of them are folks who are "trans curious".  Sometimes folks who are trying to find their own identity, are attracted to trans folks or who are simply interested in the trans community.   There may also be some who wish to do us harm which is why ......... I've just learned to smile figuring "i'm on candid camera".   I'm sure many of our younger members never experienced that show so my age is showing.   Hugs,   Charlize

      Most of those "guests" are web bots from China, Indonesia, France etc. looking us over. They are mostly benign.  All they can see or gain access to are the general forums.  Members should be careful not to post anything that could readily identify themselves such as real names, addresses, phone numbers, etc. They do not have access to our gallery, blogs or private messenger. They seem to haunt all forums. Not just us. I should add that they can make us known across the internet. That's how prospective members find us. Google would be a good example.

      I hope he gets what he deserves.

      Heck I didn't even know they could go up that high! I just have a four burner and one to keep stuff warm. What kind of pies did you make?

      That's all the matters.   Well me and the wife rode to Perkins for breakfast. As we were waiting for our food. Being it is Sunday There are a few gentleman in suits, my guess from church. I think to myself. I hope I never have to wear one of those monkey suits ever again. Now a nice dress maybe.   Hugs,   Kymmie

      From time to time I've looked at 'Who Is Online" and I have consistently noticed that members are ALWAYS outnumbered by Guests by a wide margin, sometimes, like a minute ago, by more than a 10:1 margin.  I have never seen that before on an internet forum.  It can be explained partly by the nature of what this is, that it draws the curious and they are certainly welcome to read here, and to join, but it leaves me with a feeling of being in a fishbowl.  I wonder who ARE these people?  Donald Trump, is that you? Biden? Sinwar? Putin?  We can only guess.
