Nonbinary HRT but in the Other Direction


MayGay

Recommended Posts

I really need to have all of estradiol, testosterone, and progesterone. And I'm trying to look for anything to help me but I generally only find stuff like blockers only or low dose E and maybe other things like no breast growth HRT. Hence the going the other way.

 

But some background. I'm amab, bigender, and have been on typical feminizing HRT for just over 2 years and that's been a bit of a bumpy ride because of my liver hating estradiol and converting any and all oral estradiol to estrone with extreme prejudice. But I fixed that with injections.

 

The other part of it is that blockers were extremely effective and virtually ended any T my body was making. I basically floored out at -Dosage amount- in 4 months and stayed there for the most part. The catch is that yeah that's too low for me. And I knew this would be an issue before I started and my plan was to ride it out until I'm done this puberty and change things up, but it's a bit worse than I expected. Some other unexpected things happened as well that aren't related to HRT but are affecting how I feel it's not something I really need to talk about here.

 

And don't get me wrong. In some areas HRT is having a profoundly positive effect on me. Things that felt wrong or absent before starting HRT are so right now. But also some things that were very right before are now very wrong. And I'm not even talking about physical changes, only like how my body functions and feels. The physical changes are largely welcome and anything I don't like I can fix later.

 

So I guess I'm writing this for two reasons. First is that I'm looking for ideas on how I can get through puberty more comfortably hormonally speaking. I've considered microdosing T but even in the best case scenario I don't know how viable that's going to be because I only have access to injections and that might be too much. Ironically testosterone injections are covered for me and estradiol injections aren't.

 

The other help I'm looking for is that I want any information on having like cis man normal levels of T and cis woman levels of E and P. Like assuming I've been through both estradiol and testosterone puberties what effect will it have? What's the best way to go about it? I want to use clomiphene or something similar to turn my own T production back on. But I don't know if there's something else that'll do it better or more efficiently than clomiphene or if I should just go with injections or what. 

 

I'm basically trying to get as much information as I can. I want to be informed on my options. And even in medical papers it's not really mentioned.

      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.

      Normal is a word in the dictionary and a setting on washing machine.

      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.

      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.
