Welcome Tom.  Hopefully some of our FTM members will check in with you.  HRT is sometimes difficult but hopefully you are working with a doctor who has experience.  I've been fortunate to have my blood levels checked regularly.

 

Hugs,

Hello Tom and welcome.  I would also suggest connecting with a doctor who is knowledgeable about HRT as your levels should be able to be managed effectively.  We have a good number of guys here that can hopefully provide some insight.   Someone should pop into the thread soon.  

 

Cheers, Jani

Welcome to Trans Pulse, Tom.  Thanks so much for your offer to help out some of our less experienced guys.  It's always wonderful to see how the community comes together to help each other out.  We really do need experienced FtM hands here, as many of our newbie guys are young and without a lot of experience.  I'm just wondering about your T levels; has the doctor discovered why your levels are not stable?  Is there some underlying medical condition causing it?  It does happen though, even with MtF's.  My E levels went sky high a few months ago and the doc had no idea why.  She still doesn't, but the levels did drop back to near-normal again recently.  I think it might be related to my Type II diabetes, which is why I asked about underlying conditions.

 

Anyway, let us know how we can help, and we'll do our best.

 

HUGS

Thanks Charlize. Yes I've seen many drs and specialists/Endocrinologists. I really thought they would be able to help but it seems not hence why I'm trying to do my own research. I think I know what I need but just want to do a little research first. I'm interested in hearing from other guys who are taking testosterone and what type of T, how often etc and if they are happy with the results and effects etc..... is there another section I should be asking these questions etc?

Hello Tom

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

Research is always a good thing. Especially when it helps to understand more about yourself. I did shed loads on my situation to really get to know my own angels and demons.

 

It will be most interesting to hear from a 17 year veteran of your trials and tribulations.

 

I look forwald to reading your forum input.

Hi, Tom. I’m 31 and just started T two weeks ago. I give myself ___ ml intramuscular injections of testosterone cypionate once per week. I have yet to notice any changes except for a scratchy voice some days. Looking forward you the changes to come.

 

If you want, you can post in the HRT forum about this. It might be easier for others to find it there.

      I have read some of it, mostly in areas specifically targeted at the LGBTQ+ peoples.   You also have to take into account what and who is behind the words, not just the words themselves. Together that creates context, right? Let's take some examples, under the Department of Health & Human Services section:   "Radical actors inside and outside government are promoting harmful identity politics that replaces biological sex with subjective notions of “gender identity” and bases a person’s worth on his or her race, sex, or other identities. This destructive dogma, under the guise of “equity,” threatens American’s fundamental liberties as well as the health and well-being of children and adults alike."   or   "Families comprised of a married mother, father, and their children are the foundation of a well-ordered nation and healthy society. Unfortunately, family policies and programs under President Biden’s HHS are fraught with agenda items focusing on “LGBTQ+ equity,” subsidizing single-motherhood, disincentivizing work, and penalizing marriage. These policies should be repealed and replaced by policies that support the formation of stable, married, nuclear families."   From a wording perspective, who doesn't want to protect the health and well-being of Americans or think that families aren't good for America? But let's take a look at the author, Roger Severino. He's well-quoted to be against LGBTQ+ anything, has standard christian nationalist views, supports conversion therapy, etc.   So when he uses words like "threatens the health and well-being of children and adults alike" it's not about actual health, it's about enforcing cis-gendered ideology because he (and the rest of the Heritage Foundation) believe LGBTQ+ people and communities are harmful. Or when he invokes the family through the lens of, let's just say dog whistles including the "penalization of marriage" (how and where?!), he idealizes families involving marriage of a "biological male to a biological female" and associates LGBTQ+ family equity as something unhealthy.   Who are the radical actors? Who is telling people to be trans, gay, or queer in general? No one. The idea that there can be any sort of equity between LGBTQ+ people and "normal" cis people is abhorrent to the author, so the loaded language of radical/destructive/guise/threaten are used. Families that he believes are "good" are stable/well-ordered/healthy, specifically married/nuclear ones.   Start looking into intersectionality of oppression of non-privileged groups and how that affects the concept of the family and you will understand that these platitudes are thinly veiled wrappers for christian nationalist ideology.   What's wrong with equity for queer families, to allow them full rights as parents, who are bringing up smart and able children? Or single mothers who are working three jobs to get food on plates?

      Well yesterday didn't work like I wanted to. I met a guy and started talking and he was wanting to be in a relationship. I asked my kids on how they thought of me dating a man and they said gross and said no. I guess it's time to look for women. I think that is going to be harder. Oh well I guess.

      This topic reminds me of the lyrics to the Beatles song, "A Little Help From My Friends."   "What do you see when you turn out the lights?"   "I can't tell you but I know it's mine."   Carolyn Marie

      @Ivy have you read the actual document?   Has anyone else out there read it?
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I am reading the Project 2025 document https://www.project2025.org/policy/   This will take some time.  I read the forward and I want to read it again later.   I read some criticism of it outside here and I will be looking for it in the light of what has been posted here and there.  Some of the criticism is bosh.   @MaeBe have you read the actual document?

      Old topic, but I gotta say my favorites are: "Stop hitting on minors" (doesn't work if you're holder tho) and "Sure as [squid] not you"

      Abigail, I think we will just leave the other posts where they are, and the discussion can start anew here.  It is possible to do what you ask, but would disrupt the flow of the discussion in the other thread, and would require more work than it's worth.   Carolyn Marie

      I am in too good a mood to earn my certificate today. I am sure something will happen that will put me on the path to earning it.
