Gigi here with my introduction.  I have been trying to figure out who I am for a long time.  In my mid 20’s I found out I have Kleinfelders Syndome.  This means I have 47 chromosomes rather than the normal 46.  I have 3 sex determining chromosomes rather than the normal 2.  I am intersexed with male parts and minor breast growth.  I have been a male all my life but have nearly always cross dressed in private.  Years ago I started expanding my everyday clothes to be more feminine.  I have just started HRT to become female full time.  With all my research I wanted estrodial pellet implants rather than pills or shots.  My doctor will prescribe and insert them but she works for a clinic that can not accept the formulated pellet shipments.  In California it is now illegal for the formulating lab to ship them to the patient.  If I can get a mailing address outside of California then she can have them shipped there and then someone could reship them to me.  Any ideas?  For now I am taking the pills.  I have been on them for one week and already my nipples are sore and protruding.  I am excited.  Does this seem fast?  If so, maybe it is because oh my intersexed condition.  Does anyone else have kleinfelders?  Thanks for the support.  Gigi

Gigi why are you so adamant on the pellets? I did a little looking into them, and the side effects are awful and the % of people that have them is astronomical! It’s a big risk from what I’ve seen. It stinks taking the pills, but it’s a lot better than those possible side effects. And doesn’t work any better overall. There are people here that get great results from every form of e. Just a thought.

Kirsten,  can you point me to your pellet research?  I could not find the negative side effects like you are describing.  I am trying to get away from the risk to my liver that pills have.  My research shows me the pellets eliminate this liver risk.  Thanks for your help.  Gigi

The patches also provide a great advantage over the pills and shots and are available in CA for sure. ?

Welcome Gigi!

 

My Doc prescribed Estrace(Tm) primarily because of my liver. I've been dealing with Hepatitis C and stage2 liver disease for at least 30 years. 

 

Let's be clear; I am not revealing "my" dosage. (Only the size of tablet). The 1mg Estrace tablet is sublingual (dissolved under the tongue) therefore never reaches the liver.

 

Extremely limited side effects as listed below with some desirable ones.

I hope you find this useful. See you around

 

Love, 

Michelle

      Back again love conquers all I don’t think my wife and kids would hold me hostage but if I explain it right to them it might prove how much I’ve lived them over many years

      I am an evangelical  I am also transgender.  This is an issue. I have read up on it.  I am not an expert, but I have done a lot of reading.   One thing I do not get about people who take that position is that evangelicals are all about salvation by faith alone by Christ alone by grace alone - unless you are transgender.  Then you cannot be saved, these say, unless you do the work of un-transgendering yourself.  Which is, practically, impossible.  I have read the "solutions" and I don't buy them, obviously, because they do not work.    In evangelicalism salvation is by faith alone, Christ alone, grace alone, without any merit of our own.  That means, to an evangelical, we come to Christ as we are,  in the words of a glorious hymn,   1 Just as I am, without one plea, but that thy blood was shed for me, and that thou bidd'st me come to thee, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   2 Just as I am, and waiting not to rid my soul of one dark blot, to thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   3 Just as I am, though tossed about with many a conflict, many a doubt, fightings and fears within, without, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   4 Just as I am, thou wilt receive, wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve; because thy promise I believe, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   We do not clean ourselves up BEFORE we come to Christ.  We let Him clean us up AFTER we come to Him.    Those who insist that transgender people cannot be saved are actually preaching another Gospel, a Gospel of works, and have wandered away from the glorious Gospel into works.  That is strong but true.   Struggling with legalism and grace, I have found more of God's mercy and grace available to me because I struggle with being transgender and seeking His resolution of it.  Which, not having the struggle, I would not have needed to seek Him earnestly on this.

      Eventually, (especially if you start T,) things will even out. The excitement you feel is from everything being so new. Finally knowing yourself and having others recognise you can be thrilling. However, because it is your natural state of being, eventually that wears off. There's nothing exciting about it anymore because it's "just you." (Which is a perfect thing to be!) This, however, can lead to disappointment. Trust me when I say however, that that disappointment and jarring reaction to wrong pronouns will go away, and you'll once again feel comfortable in yourself.

      I love long hair. I'm wanting my hair to touch the floor. I guess we shall see how long it can get.

      I wear a wig most of the time.  But I can get by with my natural (shoulder length) hair if I wear a hat or something to cover the mostly empty top. Unfortunately that train has left the station, sigh.

      Oddly enough, just this weekend I read some of my poetry at a local event.  In this case it was a Pride group so I didn't have a particular advantage.  But I have read in more inclusive (of cis people) situations, and been fairly well received.  Let's face it, cis people do deserve an equal chance.   I suppose this might be a problem in the future.
    • Ivy
      Of course we do.  The few friends I do have are almost exclusively cis or trans women. I think I could have a relationship with a man, but he would be kinda "other" to me.  Could be interesting though. I never have understood guys - even when I was trying to be one.
