I was assigned a sex at birth, not born with one. Based on genital appearance alone at birth it would be prudent to assume my chromosomal sex and endocrinological sex might be classified as male as well by a medical provider. However that might not be the case at all. What is sex though really?
That’s a version of sex from Bean’s Velocci’s The history of sex research: Is “sex” a useful category?
To me it seems obvious that ideas are tools made and modified by particular people for particular purposes. Ideas are not instantiated in the world. “Biological sex” as an idea is almost always a sciencey attempt to distinguish natural and normal sex/gender from unnatural and abnormal sex/gender. I am no more or less natural by virtue of being unusual. You do you, but I have no use for “biological male”.
Edit: Perhaps I should add that usual sex and gender seem to me very obviously socially constructed.
I like to use “goddess look” instead of the other terms. Plenty of really cute trans women are visibly trans.
Another option is ready-to-use solution of estradiol valerate 50 mg and progesterone 250 mg, 20 USD/vial, 8 to 16 vials per packet. Custom EV/P ratio is possible, or EV + hydroxyprogesterone caproate.
You can inject progesterone! Some suppliers sell estradiol and progesterone combined in a single vial.
Thank you! Good luck with your hair removal!
So very cool! Folks had told me it was hard to get a hold of a good electrolysis machine. Like, there was a racket limiting availability to professionals. Seeing that you have one is an inspiration! I had been planning to have to build my own.
Are you happy with it so far? How long have you had it? Have there been any scaring problems? Are the probes and gel easily sourced? Have you ever traded work for work with another electrologist? Occasionally I see folks seeking such arrangements where I live. Do you mind lots of questions?
Also, you seem very knowledgeable about hair removal so you’re probably aware, but some folks use a dual mirror setup for hard to see places, which might make the neck area easier.
Anyway, very cool bit of kit you have there!
Try not making it sexual! Turning special private time into a pagan ritual helped me. Visualizing and feeling myself alone before civilization in a place of deep connection to nature and our Earth, with my body as sacred and my pleasure as an energy that binds me and all of life together making us possible. Like, ours is a universe that lifes, and I’m connecting to it through pleasure. That sort of thing!
I’m sorry you’re feeling like this! Needing to know is rough. For awhile my situation was somewhat different but similar as well. Others have been where you are though and came out the other side okay! Have you heard Travis T.'s song tOCD?
What if you were raised to think that you can outsmart fate if you just
Think of every angle, think of every flaw
Think of every single fucking thing that could go wrongThink of other choices, really think it through
Think of more excuses to avoid the fact that you still want to
Some of you all don’t know that wearing New York Post apparel, reading the Post in public, mentioning the Post, posting memes about the Post, et cetera, signals free use for trans girls.
Congratulations! Highly recommend starting a journal!
That’s such a good meme and you posted it so well…
OMG! Why does no one ever talk about the lightning reflexes!
Finding a size that will actually hold a tuck and also fit well is the hard part for me. Lexy B Blair thongs in medium work well, Little for Big in small are too tight but do hold, TomboyX in medium have too wide of a gusset but do hold. Little for Big got lose threads quickly but the others have held up. Two pairs of Kalon boyshorts in medium work okay for me in some pants.
