After the planets, you haven't lived until you've experienced Adams' Harmonielehre. 40m of goosebumps

as it always has been. they're always happiest when they can look the other way and pretend to not notice the warm pink blood on their hands

This is actually sending me

hell yeah congrats

probably yes... but especially so for the enablers - the elites and party apparatus that not only failed to sound any alarm over bidens decay, but also wholly failed to deliver any semblance of a Biden agenda

even under the ghoulish logic of electoral politics it makes no sense

It hasn't been long enough since I switched to have new labs to compare but the observational changes are dramatic

Your blood labs ought to specify which form of estrogen they're testing, but they're almost certainly going to test for e2

I had to beg and plead to get an e1 test ordered specially, and getting a very high e1 result along with persistent low e2 sold me on trying injections

E1 is estrone, E2 is estradiol

E1 is what happens when e2 is processed through the liver, the first pass effect. High e1 probably meant that I was ingesting most of the tablets I was trying to dissolve under my tongue

Estrone is much weaker in prompting feminizing effects

aw thanks! lol it's funny how i put off hrt in part bc brain worms telling me i was too old, would look like a freak, etc, but in reality i'm objectively hot

other user is being perfectly nice and was asking time on hrt and dose q's

most of that time was sublingual tablets that were just blasting my e1 levels and not really raising my e2

yes but only recently (thx again @katie.bzky.team )

that's coming up on 1.5 years, although that was after starting by microdosing and gradually ramping up over the first bunch of months. started at 32

yeah that's what I meant

and maybe I'm wrong on that! but gee it seems like a lot of this internecine sniping is fundamentally rooted in the damages done by cis-structural transphobia - as it basically always has been
