why do most* the trans women i relate to and like take E via injections but most* of the trans women i find annoying and cringe do pills
honestly very real and relatable now that I think about it
>>43221627Probably because people who care about their transition know injections are the superior ROAAnd if you don't care that much about transitioning effectively, chances are your dysphoria is less severe and you're more ok with being a cringy third gender.Just a theory tho
injections are obviously the superior method of getting E but theyre a a little scary. pills arent scary but theyre way more inconvenient. not being able to face your fears and do your own injections and instead continuing to take pills is a sign of a larger personality flaw
>>43221627I would be on injections but I straight up can't afford it because apparently "compounding at my local clinic" is worth charging an insane amount
>>43221627Barring exceptions like >>43221825, people who do pills are weak and afraid of suffering to achieve their best possible selves, injection users are serious.My doctor wanted to start me out on pills but I told him I'm not getting any younger (29), please give me intramuscular shots at the highest dosage possible. And he did, and I learned to do them, and my ass has gotten insanely fat after just four weekly shots, among other things. I view the choice as very tellling of someone's character.
Trannies who take E via injections behave like drug addicts. It might be the best option but the culture is cringe as fuck.
>>43221914I dunno for me it seems like a split between medfet girls and puppygirls who roleplay being put down by their significant other
>>43221778truthnuke. "ooooh but im scared of needles" yeah well so was i but because im not a useless wet rag of a "person" i just did it anyway>>43221627the most annoying ones arent even on hrt at all
>>43221734ive been noticing this pattern for a bit now>>43221778makes sense. i have a severe phobia of needles but yet i just got an auto injector instead of giving up and doing pills>>43221914i already am a drug addict so yeah (weed tho)>>43221963>the most annoying ones arent even on hrt at alli dont even consider them real trans women yet
>>43221924>medfetcan confirm the regular injections have given me this and i would very much like a strong doctor (who is my husband) to give me my shots
>>43222302i have my gf do it for me its really nice
>>43221627probly diy(autodidact) vs science trusters(consoomer)>>43221778i was scared but not in a phobia way its just kinda spoopy. it makes me dizzy but now that im used to it its kinda awesome u just gotta stick to standard practice and b safe its superior. kinda dont like the whole single use plastics thing but whatever >>43222302desu its so hot
the latter are normies who are probably getting hondosed
>>43224675do doctors not do injections normally?
Injections are DIY only in some parts of the world.I only get prescribed gel and not everyone wants to order bathtub HRT. I mean I do because I'm cool
I dont relate to any trannies. I do diy enanthate injections and cypro pills.
>>43221627Ive been given it as patches, where am I on the cool to cringe scale?
>>43221627has anyone noticed the outgroup is lame af and the ingroup is pretty cool?
>>43221877This >>43223951Also this>>43221825Y dont u just DIY sketchy chinese compounds medical professionals are the devil it took them 6 months to script me & even today that script is only at 2mg pills! I told them to gimme what I want or I'll buy it myself which is the only reason I even got spiro & progEvery time I go in its "yes im still diy cuz ur doses are wrong" the only reason this fag can tell is because my levels are good lmao he's basically like "hmmm your levels should be this high..." when they're literally exactly perfect so he knows im not following his hondose regimen which would give me completely trashed out levelsLast time I lied & said I tried the pills they gave me & it gave me low E / T spike symptons so I doubled my dose to fix it which is why my levels are still "high" & he refused to even increase my dose still from 2mg cuz he wants to "get my levels down" like ????? They are literally exactly where they should be! Shits at like 200 wdym u wanna get them down!The only reason I'm doing ANY of it cuz I need him to get a srs referral in a couple months cuz im too poor to pay for my ownGod these ppl pmo so much literally making me jump thru hoops while they break their backs to hondose me saying "idk if you've had any barriers to transition b4 but u can tell me if ur still doing DIY" Yes bitch! U are my barrier !! You even made me wait 6 extra months for a referral cuz my troon timeline was on DIY when thats not even a prereq to getting approval!! Monsters
>>43221627anyone who takes pills is retarded. It's the tranny version of the marshmallow test.
>>43226778who do you relate to?>>43226847idk i mean i dont make a judgment just based off how u do it i just noticed a pattern. desu i wanna do patches when im out>>43226867which one do you do?>>43227017they do seem to work way worse than needles
>>43227138How do they work worse?
>>43227504liver damage
>>43221914that's stupid can't wait for tuesday though
>>43227541Only that?
>>43227749levels are less stable, harder to get good levels. If you can't do injections (europoor) at least do patches. pellets btfo both
>>43227878My levels are consistently in the lower end (150-200), I'm trying to convince Endo to switch to injections.T. Third world tranny
>>43228268>T. Third world trannywhich one?
>>43227559what happens tuesday?
>>43222302>can confirm the regular injections have given me this and i would very much like a strong doctor (who is my husband) to give me my shotsi have fantasies of being hooked up on IV and given deep intramuscular injections in places that are sensitive to human touch for me (tummy, chest, etc). I find the sound of the IV machine pumping and all of that very soothing, like being back in the womb. I don't know if it's a fetish as much as a general fantasy but yumyy medfet is so nice I love big deep injections
>>43231717i dont get this. i like my gf doing my injections cus then i dont have to think abt it. its crazy to me that some ppl like it the point its a fetish
>>43221627Hi i use oral tablets because in europe they dont prescribe e injections (only t blockers are as injections). My e levels are like 600-500 on 4mg per day and T is 0.7. Is liver overuse the only thing to worry about here? I dont drink at all or do drugs so im skeptical on anything being wrong here.
>>43233884at least do sublingual
>>43233991But why?
I wish I could be on injections but due to my crippling phobia of needles I have to resort to doing pills and i cant even get bloodtests. I wish I was able to do injections like you are OP, you dont know how lucky you are.
>>43221627Because injection is advanced troonism and pills are basic bitch
>>43234155just let me hold you down and force inject you. >>43234121it doesnt have the same liver issue.
I've been doing my own intravenous injections for a blood problem for years but sublingual injections feel weird so im on pills instead
>>43234991nona injects sublingually? i bow
>>43235044I meant subcutaneous fml
>>43234155i have a crazy phobia of needles to. its hard but i found auto injectors really help me. still takes me like 40 mins to do it tho
Cutest most baddest goth girl I've ever met is doing patches. Patches are the real trvthnvke that nobody talks about.
I started on pills, did injections for a year, then went back to pills. I just prefer pills a lot more cuz i get a spike every day, where as when i was on injections you get a huge spike for like 3 days, then 2 days mid levels, then the last 2 days ur levels are really low and it sucks so much ass i had to use oestrogel on the last 2 days every week, it sucker ass. I feel better on pills cuz its no fuss, feel good, get a spike ery day. Its worth noting the science isnt at the level where we know which is best for you, regular spikes (doses ery day) or one big spike over a week. But those are the main contenders within the tranny science realm last time i asked my endo..
>>43235414Just inject more frequently?I do it every 5 days.
Anyone smart does injections its the idiots who hate themselves who put up with pills
>>43235698My endo disagrees with that sentiment as do i. Because prolonged high exposure to estrogen doesnt actually yield higher rates of "feminization", scientifically that metric is barely studied but one thing we do know is that when cells are exposed to prolonged periods of elevated hormones, the cells/receptors simply become resistant to said hormones in order to reach equilibrium. Making it meaningless to always be on a peak, and actually more likely counter intuitive. But again, the science just isnt there yet we don't have studies comparing rates of "feminization" in mtfs. Its still basically a wild west frontier. Heck it took some popular guy (dr. Powers) to even spread how functional and useful bicalutmid is for mtfs. How many other endos have picked up on his lectures by now i don't know, but if im being realistic probably few comparatively. T. Been on hrt for 7 years and have done lots lf researching into the topic when i was babytrans.
>>43233639I find medical care very comforting. I've had many medical crises in my life and fantasize about having the safety and reliability of an idealized medical caretaker there to make me feel better. I am a type 1 diabetic and have had daily injections before I was a year old and my first memory was of being upset about having to be given a shot because it was painful. The first really fetishistic feeling I had about it was when I had a severe cellulitis infection from a wound. My immune system is not very good so if I am not very careful that can happen. It swelled a lot and was disturbing constantly, and was very painful. I felt so anxious and afraid before I went to the doctor, partly because I was an agoraphobe who was scared of going outside but partly because I genuinely felt worried this horrible thing would just get worse and worse and become septic, something people told me from my childhood was a risk for me (e.g. that I'd lose my fingers or feet or similar because of my condition). Anyway when I finally did get to the doctor I was very nervous and feeling horrible, she gave me a clindamycin prescription but the happy part was getting an injection. She swabbed me with an alcohol pad and gave me a very large injection of clindamycin in the butt and then afterwards gave me a cute bandaid. I felt really cared for, I don't know, in a way I basically never did. I felt like my body was mine and that it mattered and if it felt bad or had issues or was suffering other people knew ways to help me and my body feel better. I'm not sure how to put it. Sorry for wordfagging out and journalposting but I love talking about that kind of stuff...
Bad bitches do injections thats why
I have a massive phobia of needles. Like, utterly irrational, during blood tests attacked the phlebotomist; and another time in a panic trying to claw my way out of the room, I destroyed a centerfuge. I'm better now, 20 years later, as I have learned to control my reactions somewhat, and now just tremble and hyperventilate, biting on a strap or gauze, but the fear is still very real.Besides, I haven't seen any real major evidence to suggest IM is significanly better than high dose sublingual, especially post op; and a more stable hormonal profile is better for my type of insanity anyways. Really, if your blood levels are where they should be, and you are *consistent*, who cares?? The local support group didn't know I was Trans when I showed up to put feelers out anyways.Beside, the actual difference is if you were not established as an adult yet when you transitioned, and whether or not you are autistic. The autistic trannies at the support group are unbearable, and the ones who transitioned in their mid 20s, their 30s, and especially those who transitioned as John50s, are often very alien.
