You don't even have to tell anyone.

You aint getting any younger…
Repping kills the soul

get shit here: diyhrt.market

i'll try to keep this short, feel free to ask questions if this is missing something.

get injections, ideally estradiol enanthate: you just inject 5mg like one a week, then you no longer have to worry about it.
a vial lasts a while and is pretty cheap.
you can buy syringes, alcohol wipes and cute dinosaur bandages online.

you can also get spray with a high concentration from homebrewers, but you'll have to use it at least twice a day and you'll use it up pretty quickly.
put it on your balls.
if you're scared of needles and that makes you not get hrt, then at least get spray. it's also really easy to homebrew and you won't have to worry about it being sterile, so if you can get a hold of the raw powder you can always do that or store it somewhere if you're afraid of losing access.

ignore stupid guidelines saying you need your e2 blood levels below a certain threshold. you need a higher dose than whatever some random cissoids decided for absolutely no reason bc you'll want it to stop testosterone production. there are no actual downsides to a higher dose. you can technically od but i don't know how you'd even go about doing that (injecting the whole vial at once?)

pills are trash. won't get your levels high enough to block testosterone, so you'll need another medication with side effects. like spray, you'll also have to take them multiple times a day and they're expensive as fuck.

DIY HRT + boymode

Is that the Linux fox?

before i knew HRT was an option i daydreamed about all the expensive "sex change" surgeries
the only reason i pursued a career was being able to afford these as my dysphoria made me more and more doomer about any future in my assigned gender

This sounds like cope, like you've convinced yourself that you'd be 100% "normal" if it hadn't been for your wealth bracket, when there's several well off trans people, such as at least 5 of Elon Musk's kids, or the many trans people that do have families to support.

Also trans people were just as abundant in whatever before-times you're idolizing, just less well documented.

>>8297
Yeah nah. transhumanists have been around forever but the technology has just gotten better and they are less persecuted so they are more visible these days it seems

Why the hell has this board dropped so suddenly in quality? Now its like every single day, 5 threads that arent even worth being their own thread (like this one) are spammed and have absolutely zero value for discussion.

>>8288
Hoping its just a phase

blame tomdastinker for opening the floodgates

its easier to moderate if people post less (since now its shittier)

just make sure someone films it

>>7795
depends its surely subjective. your Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis should change to match your new TDEE. idk how fast it the changes would happen tho.

its definitely not a reason not to start and starting will probably give you motivation and willpower to be healthy with food and exercise

all of you skinny bitches should die and give me your eating "disorders" thanks

>>7789
It's a combination of testosterone, more bone density, typically taller and more muscle mass per unit of weight
So yes what would normally be like 1500 for a woman could easily be 2000 for a man. Especially if it's a man who does labor. I'm not even tall, but when I was working full time I was easily going through like 2500 a day.

You'll never get the numbers exactly right anyway. A lot of it is guessing and estimating. It really just comes down too eat healthier to promote muscle over fat retention, and actually do shit to jumpstart what's otherwise a pretty standard metabolic rate.

>>7793
yeah but "testosterone makes you obese" is something that a lot of people tell to trans men to try and fearmonger them out of trt.

you call it compensating i call it minmaxing

>>8238
Would a trans woman with a transman be considered a "heterosexual relationship"

>>8242
Yes

i feel like their brainworms are 10x worse because they dismiss and internalize a lot of patriarchal misogyny

>>8244
^this

trans people aren't a monolith just by being trans, there exists solidarity amongst them over shared oppression and a large amount of overlapping experiences, but there is no one "trans experience" that you can attach yourself to. are cis men or cis women monoliths? obviously not. if you feel like you don't fit in with other trans people that you know, that is okay. there will be people there for you that may not even necessarily be trans, as long as they make you feel supported that is good.
now as for whether you are "actually trans," i think fixating on whether you need a label is more harmful than helpful, but i recognize that it is important to feel like you have a cohesive identity.
have you also thought about if you were potentially nonbinary? this would probably help you figure things out internally. you should also try thinking about how you would/if you want to/what steps you would take to realistically transition in the case that you are trans. you don't need to hate your body to be trans either, and your feelings on your body and how you feel about yourself will change over time if you pursue transition as well (you may realize that you were actually extremely uncomfortable pre transition and you just couldn't imagine what anything else would feel like!)

>>8193
Thank you for your kind words. I thought about being nonbinary before, but a lot of people are saying that it's just a fake sexuality and that they just want to invade trans spaces, and this made me very unsure and confused.

The last part about me being uncomfortable and not realizing it is a very interesting thing, I'll think about that.

>>8193
>>8222
i mean sure trans is an umbrella term but if you arent actively transitioning or plan to eventually then why even bother using the label lol, is this like a fandom to you

>>8178
No, you are not trans

if u have to ask

Also, sometimes it feels painful when I'm asked something personal. Because they could use it to harass me. I guess my shyness and frequent inability to socialise may have stemmed from being bullied and having NO ONE in my childhood to actually make proper friends with - because all my parents' friends are breeders with really irritating kids. I just want to get taller too. I'm 5 foot 3 but I want to be 5 foot 6. Is there any way to get my first irl friend in 7 years? Or am I doomed to being an eternal involuntary loner? :-(

I spit on everything. The world is run by an octopus-like robot demon hellbent on shitting on me.

How do I get testosterone in Bulgaria?

>>8211
Last I've heard, though this was several years ago, you could get it at a pharmacy without any issues, though occasionally a stuck up pharmacist could refuse. I know that in neighboring serbia you can get galekina's testosterone enanthate (testosteron depo) without any issue for around 4 euros per vial (250mg) or less. Being familiar with Bulgaria, I think this would also be the case there. Are you after a particular ester?

>>8219
Not really. But I think opinions of transmascs kind of soured
