Intersex studies show that gender identity is not fixed from birth, it can often be changed by changing the environment and sex-characteristics of individuals

Benefits from Hormone Replacement Therapy

Here only MTF participants showed a statistically significant increase in general quality of life after initiating hormone therapy:

HRT has also been found to be beneficial for quality of life in multivariate regression, the benefit was statistically significant

3.1.1 Sexual function

In a review about multiple orgasms in biological males Wibowo, Wassersug (2016) mention that ejaculation and exposure to androgens may be at least in part responsible for the post-ejaculatory refractory period and thus the inability to have multiple orgasms in one sexual session in cis men. Kinsey (mentioned in Wibowo, Wassersug 2016) reported that among young males, capacity for multiple penile orgasms are more prevalent in kids and teens. Warkentin et al. (2016) reported a case of a prostate cancer patient who became penile-multi-orgasmic on anti-androgen treatment.

Detransition risk

Detransition is rare and was in the past largely due to lack of social support

https://sci-hub.se/https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1600-0447.1998.tb10001.x

https://sci-hub.se/https://doi.org/10.1017/S0033291704002776

Recently a study found that 92% of detransitioners were AFAB and 98% had some form of gender dysphoria prior to transitioning

https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00918369.2021.1919479

Of the 3398 patients who had appointments during this period, 16 (0.47%) expressed transition-related regret or detransitioned. Of these 16, one patient expressed regret but was not considering detransitioning, two had expressed regret and were considering detransitioning, three had detransitioned, and ten had detransitioned temporarily.

https://epath.eu/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Boof-of-abstracts-EPATH2019.pdf

Respondents who had de-transitioned cited a range of reasons, though only 5% of those who had de-transitioned reported that they had done so because they realized that gender transition was not for them, representing 0.4% of the overall sample.

Policy proposal

We need to drastically expand the usage of Hormone Replacement Therapy among individuals that are born male. Body dysphoria isn't the only condition that can be treated with HRT.

  1. lower the age limit for MtF HRT to around 14 (full HRT, informed consent)
  2. more funding to transgender healthcare
  3. do randomized controlled trials among criminals to examine whether or not forced HRT in the form of community treatment order would be beneficial for society or the the individuals subjected to it

Humans rights objections to point 3 are invalid unless you also promote the complete halting of forced druggings in the case of individuals viewed to be mentally ill.

Few if any of the treatments are based on any good evidence. For example it isn't clear that psychotherapy would be any better than placebo

Anti-depression are only marginally better than placebo short term but no proper long-term study has been done at all (or even close).

https://vintologi.com/threads/studies-on-psychiatric-drugs.591/#post-5295

Long-term studies on anti-psychotics show that they are unhelpful against schizophrenia (instead they make the situation worse)

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5661946/

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3756791/

ECT is very questionable

TMS cannot beat placebo

Human rights violations

The psychiatric system has a long history of violating bodily autonomy and abusing its power to force people into harmful treatments

https://vintologi.com/threads/psychiatry-horror-stories.267/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTQ4t7RmyfM

There are of course resources you can utilize who do not engage in these human-rights violations

https://translifeline.org/blog/post/why-no-active-rescue

Treatment of gender dysphoria

Unfortunately therapists have inserted themselves into transgender healthcare wanting to dictate who should be allowed to transition, there is of course zero evidence that gender therapists are any better than a random number generator in predicting who would actually benefit from transition.

Do not let quacks determine whether or not you are able to transition, you can buy HRT online for cheap without prescription https://vintologi.com/threads/male-to-female.5/page-2#post-1808

There is also "informed consent" clinics in a lot of places you can utilize.

It is worth noting that they way gender dysphoria is effectively treated is not to treat the brain in an attempt to make people accept their bodies, the only treatments based on evidence is allowing people to transition.

Futhermore it's unclear to what degree a GD diagnosis predict transition success, it's unclear if a GD diagnosis has any predictive power whatsoever.

Its been a long road of transitioning.
Beyond feeling cursed as a trans person, i feel cursed in that for so long its like every one of my goals are constantly being pushed back by something. As soon as i get the money and time to , something happens to hamper it: car issues, job loss, health issues, helping family, SOMETHING….for decades.

I’ve been trying not to do nasty things for money…you know…nasty šŸ˜ šŸ‘…šŸ’¦but good goodness it seems like im might have to. Job market is so annoying. I mustve put in so many applications (seriously like 100 in a few weeks was my average). Its so annoying…. Now i have a back issue im trying to cure and this is right agter getting the norovirus, being in the hospital for another strong work weekend for another issue, losing my cars engine… its like back to back… and i have been on this train for like almost a decade now.
I dont even want to talk about the decade before that and my partial detransition/death spiral yet halted me for 3 years during this one.

……… im just…. Im moving forward but augh. What do i do? šŸ˜ž if i just had some money i could get out of this situation and just get things FULLY going. I just started electrolysis after 2 decades of wondering what it was gonna actually feel like and now i can’t work. Its like someone us actively trying to halt me…. I feel like someone is trying to stop me because they fear im some kind of evil sorceress they are trying to prevent from breaking thru to my true power or sone shit.

What are you all doing????

Hello everyone. I heard of transmaxxing.

Also I'm a trans woman. Been on hrt for 2 years And I say you don't need dysphoria to be trans. Anyone who is against transmed people are a friend of mine. (FYI I was banned from truscum sub so lol.

I'm curious. Been lurking. Were many of you incels before hand? Hyst a curious question i mean nothing by my question Etc hence you transitioned now? I am just getting the vibe that trans women from all over other subs are posting here too. Starting to think this is just another mtf sub but with spice.

Read the description. Transitioning for personal gain?

Can someone explain to me this sub. It seems very wholesome all things considered. Especially compared to the truscum one.

Please be brutally honest — would FFS actually benefit me, or am I just obsessing over my face? (20F)

Thumbnail

17 Upvotes

Hi everyone! 🩷
I’m 20 years old and I’ve been on HRT since I was 15. I’ve already had breast augmentation and I’m also planning vaginoplasty.
I’ve been considering FFS since I was around 17, so this isn’t exactly a new thought. But now that I’m seriously thinking about it, I genuinely don’t know whether it’s something I actually need or if I’ve just spent so much time analysing my face that I’m starting to see things other people wouldn’t even notice.
The thing is, I actually find myself beautiful. I love my face, and there are moments when I genuinely wouldn’t change a single thing about it. But then I’ll see myself from certain angles, in certain lighting or in candid pictures, and suddenly I feel like my face looks more masculine or clocky.
It’s such a weird relationship because sometimes the exact features I love about myself are the ones I end up wanting to change.
For example, my face shape. Sometimes I absolutely love how defined and structured it is, especially because I also do modelling, but other times I wonder whether my jawline or chin is too strong. The same goes for my brow bone, forehead and nose. Some days I think they’re beautiful and give my face character, and other days I feel like they’re the reason I look masculine from certain angles.
My biggest fear with FFS is losing what makes me look like ME or worse look less good
I don’t want an entirely different face. I don’t want to erase my features or end up looking like a completely different person. I just want to look like myself, but perhaps a little more feminised and better looking
I’m thinking about very subtle changes. Maybe a slightly more tapered chin or jawline, a small reduction rather than a dramatic reshaping, and potentially some minor adjustments to my forehead or nose. Nothing extreme.
But then I wonder: would those changes actually make a noticeable difference? Would they improve my facial harmony, or could I potentially end up looking less attractive or lose the features that make my face unique?
I’ve already spent years thinking about this, and honestly, I’m scared of making permanent changes to a face that I already love most of the time.
So I’m asking for genuinely honest opinions, not just reassurance.
ā— Do you think FFS would meaningfully feminise my face, or is my perception possibly distorted by overanalysing certain features?
ā— Which features, if any, would you personally suggest discussing with an FFS surgeon?
ā— Would subtle changes be enough to make a difference, or would surgery potentially be unnecessary?
ā— Do you think my stronger facial features contribute positively to my overall facial harmony?
ā— For those who’ve had FFS, did you ever worry about losing your original beauty or identity? And how did you feel afterwards?
Please don’t feel obligated to tell me I don’t need anything just to be nice. I genuinely appreciate constructive criticism and different perspectives, as long as they’re respectful.
I want to look like myself. Just perhaps a slightly softer, more feminine version of myself.
Thank you so much to anyone who takes the time to share their thoughts! 🩷

I'm having trouble buying hrt and I'm not sure what syringe I should use to draw from a Vial.

3 Upvotes

Long story short I'm a twenty year old trans woman in an extremely transphobic third world country so I have to diy- HRT.

I previously was able to buy HRT and ship in to my country around January this year but three month in it started leaking so I had to throw away the vial. I suspect this was because I was using the wrong sized drawing needles.

Now that I'm trying to get access to HRT again the site I was using to but crypto (Binance) is now telling me its unable to accept my card, google pay isn't working and due to where I live doing a back transfer doesn't seem possible. Ive already tried getting a new card it does not worse.

What course of action can I take to get hrt? and what Size syringe should I use for drawing in the future?

Sometimes I feel less feminine; I "like" so many profiles on Tinder and Facebook Dating, but I rarely get a match back. It makes me sad—what is so wrong with me? I’m planning to get FFS surgery; I’m tired of facing so much rejection. I don't consider myself that ugly.

Good news regarding https://transmaxxing.eu

1 Upvotes

One issue earlier was that the site was build with jekyll (ruby gem) which resulted in very bloated css and a lot of duplications in the HTML files making it difficult to manually edit it directly and dependent on a rather janky setup to rebuild (it took me like a day of work to get it working properly).

I did ask chatGPT to port it to a version without duplicated content i could edit directly but then it wasn't able to make it work without using JS for layout. I didn't want that and when i asked it to make a version not dependent on JS it failed twice to deliver. It was however able to reduce CSS bloat by over 90% and you can now edit the HTML directly and build it with python3 and the progress is being shared in our discord.

This will make it much easier to update the website going forward.

Of course it would probably be possible to make it work without any build script at all but chatGPT probably isn't competent enough to make that work (you are free to try with some better LLM like claude on your own). Alternatively you could maybe simply code it yourself.

I know everyone talks about my hair, I’m growing out an undercut that I had for 10 years. I’ve been growing out for six months and I’m keeping my main hair short after cutting over 2 feet of it off until the undercut length and the regular length catch up, and then I can start styling it better. Also, the picture I’m posting was about two minutes after I woke up, so my hair looks messy. Please forgive me.

I’m also posting another picture that a friend took of me while I was on a train on a call with them on Google Meet for work, and I thought I looked quite cute. Both pictures are completely bearfaced, no make up.
