Gender trauma is so fucking funny. I turned 28 recently and just injected estradiol valerate for the first time on Monday 💖 For hours before the injection, it just didn't feel real. I felt like I'd get in some horrid car crash, or a cop would arrest me for just looking suspicious, or I'd get the E
A few years ago apparently there was a little argument in a session at the WPATH conference about me and my methods, namely my topical T for genital restoration.

Hi guys! I just got my copper IUD (Paragard) inserted about 2 hours ago and I am feeling great and so proud of myself. I was pretty nervous because I had never had kids or intense cramps so I didn't know much to expect pain-wise but I knew that I wanted to try it. ​ **Background:** I had
I’ve been using Tri-sprintec and generics to it for about 7 months now. I love it, I have had some pros and cons though. I take my pills every night within 1-2hrs before or after 10:20pm (EST). I do a break week every pack. I’ve only ever missed two pills only to take them ASAP and then continue my
