I like how somebody on reddit's /r/asktransgender put it when asked about the mental effects of HRT: "I like how I look better when I'm on HRT".

Carrie, reading your posts has been very enlightening, having gone through a struggle with my gender identity that somewhat mirrors yours. Though they're ...

I would trade it for a real vagina with the possibility of giving birth but I hate the idea of operations and I feel fine with my dick as it isn't too big and I don't plan on using it to penetrate anyone with it. In my sexual fantasies I'm always the girl getting manhandled.



Yeah, same here. I ...

I don't hate my dick. Wouldn't trade it for a fake vagin



And why should you!

For myself I disagree with you though, I would trade it for a vagina, fake or not. I'd also trade it for being a nullo, though I'd prefer a vagina because at least I can use that. Anyway, everybody's different ...

You sound somewhat like me, to be honest.

How did you feel while you were on HRT? You're only mentioning the physical aspects, but how about mental? A lot of transwomen report that estrogen feels really right. When I first tried it I instantly got addicted to its way of making me euphoric beyond ...

could all of the things I have experienced, all of the highs and the lows, really just be in my head?



Sure, the human mind is really quite powerful. Back when I was dealing with my nausea phase, being totally sick from worry, I was thinking to myself that maybe I was just ill, or that I had ...

Kind of funny, I'm doing the same thing that cis-guys do. They're constantly doing things in order to prove their manliness ...

I think there's also something else going on. You've only figured out that this is right for you a couple of months ago, remember? To give you a bit of an idea, here's my recent history:

In my country all gender dysphoria treatment is done through two gender teams, each treating people from their ...

Usually 100mg is the avg or standard. Anything above will render T extremely low.



Your spiro must be stronger than mine then. I'm on 150 mg/day and my testosterone is at average levels.. for a male. :(

It's to be expected though; spiro blocks at the receiving end (cellular receptors) and ...

Being concerned with your physical gender identity, or as I have seen others put it, your sex identity (http://freethoughtblogs.com/nataliereed/2012/03/21/gender-expression-is-not-gender-identity/#comment-13903) is, I think, downright typical for transsexuals.

In fact, that's what bothers me about ...

Ah right, you're on a much higher dose than I was on at the time (0,5mg). My body probably simply ran out during the day.
