| Coming out at work/Issues |
[May. 25th, 2012|08:36 pm] |
I recently came out at work. Within a couple weeks, a mysterious note was posted on my forklift that read "not a man". Well, I'm close to most of the people in my dept. We all know who did it. Problem is, no one saw the act. So I'm sure this dude will get a free blow. Anyway, my supervisor intends to have a dept meeting Tuesday to "inform" everyone to some degree about my transition, as well as ask for the writer to come forward. He asked me to think of anything I would like him to share so I'm just trying to get some suggestions from someone who has been there. Or even if you haven't.. what info do you think you would share? Thanks in advance Posted via LiveJournal app for iPhone. |

| Binding |
[May. 25th, 2012|05:37 pm] |
I have been thinking of binding, flip flopping on the subject because I'm not sure which method is the best and more importantly the safest. I have heard horror stories from people who binded too tightly, I lean more toward not getting the best look (flat like a cis guy) but the safest way to achieve a chest that looks like a cis heavy guy's chest - since I'm a chub with full C cup breasts I know getting flat is not going to happen but having a look more in line with a heavyset cis male would be *my* ideal. I just recently learned of under armor shirts and was wondering if anyone knows if a combo like the frog bra with an under armor shirt over it would be helpful and a lot safer than using just a regular binder? Any advice, tips (especially from heavyset men), sizing, basically any info anyone has would be greatly appreciated? |

| are you adrenaline junkie after you got on T? question for post-t people |
[May. 25th, 2012|12:28 am] |
I have been getting into dangerous stuff like taking firework operator courses and lighting up 'professional' type fireworks.
I am planning to do my projects with chasing tornadoes and stuff.
I do not have any fear for anything like fireworks or tornadoes or anything dangerous.
I do have somehow dangerous job as truck unloader since a kid.
I still do truck unloading right now.
I remembered when I was pre-t. I did have few fears and do have common sense?
like I would not go crazy and chase a tornado.
Did you really loose your fears after you started your T shots or any other methods?
and started some new hobbies esp the dangerous ones. |

| Androgel vs. Injectable Enanthate--Hair loss |
[May. 24th, 2012|10:41 am] |
Hey everyone, I've been taking T for three years now (50mg/wk for 1.5 yrs and 30mg/wk for the past year and half) via injections. My doctor recently suggested I switch to Androgel 1% 2.5mg daily if I wanted to avoid giving myself weekly shots. I don't mind a small nick every week, but I am interested in trying Androgel out because of one main concern of mine--hair loss. I'm only 19 and have been struggling with the whole balding thing for the past year. I'm already on propecia (finasteride), which is a medication for hair loss that lowers DHT levels. I don't mind playing around with my T levels or ways of getting it into my body because I have masculinized completely. I'm posting here because I'm curious if anyone who has made the switch from injecting T to Androgel has experienced less hair loss? My thinking is a lower daily dose means lower peaks and lower DHT in my system, therefore less hair loss. How has switching affected your T levels? I've seen this somewhat addressed in previous posts and looking through tags, but not directly concerning hair loss. |

| Moving, taking T with me |
[May. 23rd, 2012|01:01 pm] |
I'll be moving back home for the summer in a couple of weeks. I'll be staying at my Grandparent's for a couple of days before going back home, and one of the days that I will be there happens to be an injection day. I originally planned to send my T and all my supplies home by mail, as that seemed easier than flying them with me, but I will at least need to bring a set of needles and syringes to my grandparents house (which I'm driving to) and my vial of T, which I will then need to fly with me. What would I need to fly all my supplies with me in the way of doctors notes? If I'm just flying with the vial, will I still need these?
Thanks in advance. |

| Skin tone changes |
[May. 22nd, 2012|06:35 pm] |
So this is more a question for future reference than anything (I'm pre-everything), but I'm curious as to the effect that T has on skin tone. I remember learning that during male puberty the skin tone gets darker. This is where it gets tricky because I'm three quarters white and one quarter Seychellois/Trinidad Creole. My brother and my cousins and I are all different colours, lol. My dad has much darker skin than his two sisters. I'm comparatively somewhat paler, as was my brother until he went through puberty and then he went quite dark.
It's important to note that I'm really not bothered by my skin tone at all (it's not a major issue) but I'm just curious about what to expect on a number of small things and I can guess/know a lot of the others... this is just one I'm not certain about. I'm aware that this is a 'wait and see' type question but I'm not asking personally what colour my skin will go (you couldn't make any kind of guess without seeing it). I am just wondering what changes T has on their skin (minus acne) that other trans*guys have noticed. |

| Question about STP! |
[May. 22nd, 2012|01:50 pm] |
Hey guys!
I've come here with a simple question with.. probably not too simple question! The thing is, I just got my first STP packer.. I really love how realistic length it is and stuff, but there's one thing I'd like to know.... how the hell you can teach your body to pee on a new position! I mean, it seems to be too hard and I keep getting tired trying and just sitting down with a tears on my eyes.... If somebody has some kind of a advice how to make it easier, I'd be happy to hear! Thanks! |

So, I have what is probably a stupid question about changing documents. I've had top surgery, and I'm trying to get my sex marker changed on my birth certificate, among other things. (It's a Maine birth certificate.) The requirements I could find online say I need a notarized letter from my surgeon. Now, right after I got top surgery with her (Doctor Melissa Johnson in Springfield, MA), I got a letter from her, but it isn't notarized. My question is whether she needs to get it notarized, or whether I can. I'm assuming she has to, since she's the one signing it. Should I just call her office and ask her to write me another letter and have it notarized this time? |

| CareCredit |
[May. 20th, 2012|07:46 pm] |
Hey Guys,
I've been off Livejournal for a while, but this has always been a good resource for me to go to, so I'm back to ask a few questions. I JUST scheduled my top surgery with Dr. Medalie. He will be doing the Peri-Areolar with liposuction in August, and it's going to be $5,995. I know I can get the money to pay for it, but not until after the surgery is already done (I'm a teacher and so I won't be getting a paycheck until September, which will cover all of the expenses, but this is the best time for me to do the surgery). I have $2,200 saved up right now and I'm going to add to that over the course of the summer working my minimum wage summer job, but that definitely won't add up to 6 grand by the middle of July, when my payment is due.
SO I've been looking into CareCredit. I have fairly good credit, so I'm hoping approval for the card won't be an issue. I was going to apply for the 12 month payment option so I won't have to pay interest. I can definitely pay this off in a year, but my concerns are these:
1. When do I apply for the credit card? Would it be practical to apply sooner rather than later and use it to pay two weeks before my surgery, as Medalie requests? Or wait?
2. Do I need to apply through Medalie and his office? Or because I know he accepts the card I shouldn't have any problems?
3. For those of you who have had surgery with Medalie - does he accept payment earlier than the two weeks? Paying for this surgery provides for some very restless nights, I just want it all to go as smoothly as possible. I'd rather just get the ball rolling than have it be down to the wire before my actual surgery and have tons of problems with the credit companies and the doctor's office.
I was going to email his secretary with the same questions, but I figured I'd drop you guys a line first. I have been trying to find people who have paid using CareCredit, but I haven't found very many.
Thanks for your help, as always. Hope everyone is doing well. |

| Is the Tyron3 a joke? |
[May. 19th, 2012|11:06 am] |
I have been waiting almost an entire year for the Tyron 3 website to be revealed. A month or so ago the text of the site came online, and the company seems very different from Tyron2. Also, it has been more and more months and there are still no photos or videos at all! How hard is it to snap so digital photographs of a dick? Does anyone know anything more about this? I haven't bothered emailing the company because I figured it would take them six months to get back to me.
grrr I just want a dick |
