Correct me if I'm wrong, but in cases like this where formal research simply doesn't exist, aren't personal/autoethnographic accounts of this kind, discussions from within the ignored community, exactly how knowledge starts being organized, and maybe even becoming legible to scholarly institutions?

I think that many do not realize that when people say they will die without the ACA, they are not exaggerating or being dramatic. I take medication daily because without it my body does not recognize when to stop bleeding. So I take medication to "trick" my uterus into thinking I am pregnant.

100% here too.

And there was much rejoicing...

"Trans women only metaphorically oracles" factoid actualy just statistical error. Average trans woman can vainly foretell doom like Kassandra of old. Brianna Wu, who lives in tacky McMansion & ignores over 10,000 obvious consequences each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

Thank you!

...to my embarrassment, after making a note *not* to do this, I gave the injection volume as the dose.

Cypionate 5mg/mL, at 1 mL/week, which is 5mg.

look, it's been a long week and it's only wednesday

Currently doing cypionate 1mg/week via IM injection, but I'm looking into switching to enanthate.

My levels have looked fine in the bloodwork for the past year or so.

I've also tried prog, oral or suppository, and noticed no particular effects either way. So add one more to the "in a lab" list, I suppose.

(The obvious explanation in my case for prog not affecting my sex drive is that I'm ace and I don't have one of those anyway, though.)
