Even on mbin where I can’t see your pronouns, your username itself is Emily. There’s no excuse for their behavior.

I’d love to know why you think it’s okay to insult her like that.

matrix regular here, vouching for uni: confirmed legit ✨💖✨

looking at your pics, i am unable to even imagine you as anything other than a cute girl ✨🎀✨

and i’m completely serious about my envy 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

OMG WTF!!!

HOW are you this GORGEOUS?!?

that figure! the long thick flowing hair! those legs! and then the dress, bow, and socks to show it all off!!

my envy burns 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

(seriously wtf, you are ✨gorgeous✨)

omg that is so good to know! thank you thank you! that is like the missing puzzle piece that actually calmed my mind about it. i should still get a therapist tho.

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 😊️
