idk the full scope of this subreddit but I feel it’s unprofessional

I’m trans-feminine and I have to go without HRT for the next two weeks, I can resume after but I’m worried about the idea going without it.

I’ve been transitioning medically for almost two years.

When I resume I will be taking a Prostap 11.25 mg injection which can spike my remaining t-levels initially and then level out again so it will kinda be like 3-weeks before my Estrogen levels recoup.

Are there any super major terrible things that could happen?

Also where is the best place to look for groups and constant lgtbtqia+ activities that are happening near to Galway or limerick??

I’m a shut-in and need to find my people.

Unpacking a lot of internalised transphobia and trying to come to terms with this part of myself. It's been a bit of a struggle, and I'm getting a little bit too in my own head.

Would appreciate any reccomedations for therapists/groups who know how to deal with bad dysphoria and can help with trans specific struggles!!

I was briefly talking to a guy on Snapchat who told me I looked cute when I sent the first selfie. The second selfie I sent was with my hair tied up and I must not have looked my best. He then asked if I was trans. I was already sad that I had been clocked but then when I asked how he could tell he said, “on second glance it’s pretty obvious that you’re a man. I know that this is one person and that I shouldn’t let their comments effect me, but I just really thought I was starting to pass. I’m 6ft so I wouldn’t be entirely surprised to get clocked in person, it’s just that this guy literally saw my face and could tell. I’m just starting to think I was a bit delusional in thinking I pass most of the time.

17TF looking for someone around my age or slightly older will be okay to chit chat and play video games :D
Just been feeling really lonely and I do realized that I should get a friend so here I am!, also if this is the wrong place to ask this I am sorry and if you could please tell me were I could ask to find other trans people to chill out with
The games currently in my rotation are Helldivers 2, Ready Or Not, Phasmophobia, Terraria (Modded or Vanilla), Roblox, Minecraft, Peak and a few more :3
My dms are open to message if you want to, I also have Discord if you prefer to talk to me there

Sorry I know there are posts regarding this already, but does anyone know of a pharmacy in our around the city that accepts these prescriptions?

Finding the process a little difficult

Trans youth would be better off long term if CAMHS standards explicitly required:

•routine recording of gender identity and relevant clinical history,

•clear referral pathways for gender diverse young people,

•staff training on trans youth mental health,

•timely, non discriminatory assessment, and

•documentation of unmet need and referral delays.

The draft CAMHS standards should require explicit assessment pathways for trans and gender diverse young people, including staff training, safeguarding from discriminatory gatekeeping, and clear referral routes.

Im a 42 year old female supporter

Im selling off my large collection of plus size dresses 18 29 22 24

I wanted to continue my support but in a private personal space.

I used to do cross dressing services .

Im considering booking a private air bnb and hosting a cross dressing make over party with everything supplied along with photography and editing to your preference.

The event allows for stay over or not. There's zero pressure entirely a safe space particularly for those that absalutley need discretion.

I have zero objections to hook ups as this is often an intimate area thats let down.

Not with me but im happy to give out my whats app number.

Dress sales or party event let me know . Please share

hey so im going to hopefully be started the proses to getting HRT (mtf) soon but i had a few questions i wanted to ask and this is the only place i could think of to ask them

1. ive always seen people talk about imago being the best place to get HRT so ive always thought i would get it from them but with the resent things happening there ive seen its still fine to get it but ive been a little shaky on it so i wanted to know if theres anywere else anyone would recomend is better or if imago is still the most reliable one

2. i would like to do weight cycling and from what ive seen the most efficent way of doing that is to lose a certain amount of weight one day and then gain the same amount the next day and then repeat but i was wondering,is it possible to just do both in one day like lost the weight doing the exercise in the morning and then gaining it back later or throught the rest of the day therfore doubling how quick you would be cycling weight by doing both in one day rather than two or is that just not possible (and if you could give an indept explination on why it would be greatly appreciated)

3. again with weight cycling what would be the best way of keeping track of how much i need to eat/exercise to gain/lose the same amount of weight every day

if you have answers for any of these or even just any tips or advice for someone starting/acquiring mtf hrt i would be very appreciative, thank you

Hey! I don't ever really use reddit but felt this was the best place to go to. I have a chest binder from spectrum outfitter I bought years ago that I used very briefly when exploring my gender identity (its a short black binder, size M).

Ive been meaning to give it away in some way - I know there are donations schemes with many brands but I wanted to check here if there are any local donations schemes in Dublin or surrounding counties (saves postal fees and also I would feel more in service of the immediate community).

Otherwise (and please bap this post if this is not ok) I was wondering if I could just send it/give it directly to someone here who needed a chest binder?

Hope someone can help me with this, its been in my wardrobe collecting dust for far too long, when it could be used by someone who needs it :)

I would not make such a post if i didnt truly need help, Im a Romanian transwoman who is just got kicked out of the house, i need to know if there is someone, anyone who is willing to host me for a while until im back on my feet, i do not ask for much only a place i can stay in, i am truly desperate

if DIY subs exist then whats the big deal with sharing information more directly through this sub reddit instead of tip toeing around it all the time. no one want to diy but for a lot of people they are out of options and I rather see a trans with one last option then someone severely struggling without care. maybe it’s not right to ask i dont know. Reddit dont seem to mind other subs

There was a post here yesterday about a trans person in a relationship that appears to be deleted. As far as I can remember it was a trans male in a relationship with another trans male who was being very insistent about their boyfriends medical care.

I was thinking yesterday about it. Most of the responses were about the person leaving their boyfriend.

I wanted to suggest the person contact Mens Aid for advice and support on the matter. They could advise the person but just to note that Mens Aid are also lgbt+ inclusive. Theres quite a lot of useful information on their site.

Hey guys,

After talking about binders, the summer heat and top surgery on here for a while… I’ve finally launched my GoFundMe.

It took me a long time to build up the courage to ask for help, but here I am.

If you’d like to support me or simply share the campaign, it would mean the world to me.

Thanks for everything. ❤️

Im in the process of applying for a legal gender cert right now, I got all my paperwork together and sent it off the other day. I just heard back via email, and a few things are wrong/missing which is fair enough, that was on my end. However, I’m changing my legal name with it, and in multiple parts of this email they’ve referred to me by my deadname - I’m not tooo upset about it, but this feels really off to me, are they supposed to deadname me on a legal gender and name change????

I have no idea how they’ll take it but in case they have lots of questions I want to be ready because I’m really bad with remembering info on the spot and I never say what I want when I need to.

So Im gathering some info into easy to read notes from genderdysphoriabible and similar sites.

Anyone have any advice?

+(I also had a similar issue with blood tests and gender markers in a different place as two other people posted recently).

I just got a letter with the cervical pap smear results and this was also messed up - it's got "Ms. [First chosen name] [One of my previous/birth middle names] [Surname - unchanged]" on it.

I definitely put Mr. on any forms I filled out online and in person and I definitely put my current legal name down. All my details are legally changed, I have a GRC and MyGov has my correct details.

Who do I contact here - is this down to the clinic I got the pap smear done at or the HSE cervical pap smear service? Do I need to get in touch with both?

Edit: Anyone else had this issue before? Is this just how it is when getting this done (it was my first time)?

Hey, I'm just posting this to see as to whether anyone else has encountered these issues when using Doctor 365 for blood tests?

The first is more of an annoyance, but when I went last month, I had a new doctor who insisted on changing my gender on their system from female to male (a previous doctor had done the opposite at my request, I am MTF). He mentioned something about a new policy with bloodwork needing to be marked with the assigned gender at birth, and I know now that this is coming from St. James's blood testing form, so I suspect they sent a warning to all clinics providing blood tests to amend this, which sucks, but I will try fighting it next time I'm there as I have a right to correct my data, and also it is causing me distress considering when I got my E levels back they were marked as "deranged" because, y'know, higher than male levels.

The second issue is more of a concern, and it's that waiting times for T blood tests seem to have exponentially increased over the last 3 months. 3 months ago the wait time was already long, at about 3 weeks, when I got all other results back within a week. As of last month, I was informed that the waiting time is now 8 weeks, which is putting me at risk of not having results before my next prescription review, and it will mean in future that I will need to have bloods done two months before my review, when anything could alter my levels in those two months without my knowledge. I have never gotten a straight answer as to why this is from the doctors or receptionists, and I've half a mind to ring St James's myself just to see what is causing it.

Has anyone encountered of either of these issues, mostly the latter one, and have you found other clinics/your own GP also experience the same delays? I doubt it's isolated to just Doctor365 considering how many bloods St James's do.
