  • A small amount of hairs will always grow back.

    Yeah, that’s what I was saying on matrix is what concerns me. Like, I’m thinking I just want the most permanent removal possible. I’m such a perfectionist, and it causes bad thoughts to consider flaws and stuff. I really need to find a surgeon and go over this stuff. Also a therapist would probably help a lot right now…



  • Thank you very much for the information!

    I’m still pre-op, doing laser, and procrastinating on investigating surgeons in blue cities. My doctor had said that some people take it forever, and some only temporarily. So that’s why I was curious about your perspective, as someone who is basically where I want to be.

    You doctor’s hesitancy is concerning. I hate this overall trend of gatekeeping health care, like the current mess in the UK. That PhilosophyTube video about trans healthcare in the UK was an eye-opener for me as to how seriously toxic the healthcare system there had gotten.

    And as far as the slight increase in chance of breast cancer (matching cisgender women), I had told my doctor from the start that I’d prefer breast cancer than ending things myself. Worst case, I die while transitioning and am at least able to feel joy in my final days. As a child, I never thought I would live past 30, but now I actually feel joy and a desire to keep going.

    Thank you again for sharing some personal information with me ❤️


  • Interesting. I am also prescribed progesterone (capsules), and I didn’t really get any push-back. When I started HRT, my doctor had said that we could consider it once she had gotten my estrogen levels where I wanted them, which she had said would be after about a year.

    Well a year on HRT later, and blood-work showed my estrogen levels were within the lower range for women. So I asked her to increase my dose one more time and prescribe progesterone, and she did without hesitation, after explaining it a bit.

    I’m really lucky to have such a great doctor. I’m in a deep red state, and it takes an hour to get to my doctor appointments in the nearest blue city. I guess I’m also lucky that it’s only an hour each way.

    I have two somewhat personal questions for you, if that’s okay:

    • Do you intend to take progesterone for life, or are you expecting to stop taking it at some point?

    • Do you take it everyday?

    I currently take it each night, but only for the first half of the month each month.

    Thanks for reading 😊️
