hi um is it okay if I hop into dms and ask some questions about dysphoria?? idk if I'm trans or not and I kinda need help and you look like you have things figured out and I just wanted help??? sorry I wanted to ask first because I don't want to make you uncomfy I'm sorry sorry

Of course. Part of the reason I’ve been so quiet on here is because I’ve been going to school to do this kind of thing professionally

905 days ago I was diagnosed with depression 811 days ago I dropped out of university 751 days ago I created this blog 515 days ago I OD'ed and almost died 496 days ago I was admitted to a psychiatric ward 406 days ago I escaped the psychiatric ward and almost OD'ed again 348 days ago I discharged myself from the psychiatric ward 305 days ago I started university again 131 days ago I got a girlfriend 96 days ago I had my first session at the center for gender identity 14 days ago I felt genuine happiness 3 days ago I started testosterone

I guess what I’m trying to say is that even tho you don’t believe it things really do get better.

[trans-i-am]

I cannot, repeat, CANNOT stress this enough

If you are really sick, and I’m not talking about just covid, if you feel like you need to see a doctor or go to the hospital, you need to go to the hospital. If you have a medical condition that needs to be monitored, you still need to have it monitored.

I know it’s scary right now, but people are dying because they are putting off going to the hospital. Organ failure, sepsis, things that could be helped with early intervention are killing people because they are afraid to seek help.

Hospitals cleared out patients to make room for mass covid patients, but the reality is that just hasn’t really happened. The majority of people dying are those who didn’t seek help even for the virus.

You’re not inconveniencing anyone, you’re not going to burden doctors, you need to seek help if you need it. Your health can go downhill long before you realize it and you may not be seeking help before it’s too late.

I don’t mean to scare anyone. But please, if you have a worsening medical condition or a medical emergency or deteriorating health in any condition. GO TO THE HOSPITAL. PLEASE.

Don’t be the one who doesn’t make it because they were afraid or because they thought they weren’t important enough, your family will face unimaginable grief if you could have been saved. You’re not going to be turned away.

Do you think it's ok to take your t shot slowly? I know you're supposed to shove it in like a dart, but i always freeze up. However if i numb the area with an icecube and push it in slowly it's so much easier.

I really dont think it matters. If its more comfortable for you doing it that way then do it. Speed is generally to try to make it hurt less but as in your case it can be the opposite so whatever is easier and more suitable for you is more important than following something precisely. The outcome is the same regardless of method

[trans-i-am]

I’ve always done my shots at a relatively slow pace, I don’t think you really want to be shoving it in at full speed if you have the long needles like we typically do (1.5 inch). The needles are plenty sharp for you to put it in slowly. Taking it slow makes me feel sure I’m getting it in straight and getting it to the right depth because you can usually feel it enter the muscle. It will not make it hurt more to go slower, I usually don’t even actually feel it past the initial poke.

You can also go purchase a medical grade resealable lubricant to dab the needle in before shots if it makes you feel better. It can make it a little smoother. But definitely don’t use some kind of flavored personal lubricant or anything like that. Think the kind of stuff they use on your skin at tattoo shops.

Hey don’t sleep on this

I know it isn’t everyone’s taste in music but Bring Me The Horizon covered a song by a trans woman. I haven’t seen anyone else mention this but I think it’s pretty awesome. Support trans artists.

Here’s their version: https://www.youtube.com/redirect?redir_token=YO7T4fh1Dxl87QgRgIsvRzkO70h8MTU4MDE3MDkyMUAxNTgwMDg0NTIx&event=video_description&v=nhNds4cxfY0&q=https%3A%2F%2Fopen.spotify.com%2Falbum%2F32iqkyCIOKogzuExLw1WTQ

Here’s the original by Anohni: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aUEoic7ro_o

I just think that’s really cool that a big band like that would cover her song.

💉 HRT ANNOUNCEMENT 💉

YOU NEED TO ASPIRATE BEFORE INJECTING.

I’ve known many individuals who were never told by medical professionals to aspirate, which is unacceptable on behalf of endocrinology. This is an extremely important step because if you accidentally inject into a vein, you can literally die.

“I’ve never aspirated and I’ve been fine” until you’re not.  “My doctor never told me to aspirate” because trans healthcare has yet to be standardized and is a work in progress. “The area I inject in has little to no blood vessels” but there are so many people who don’t know which areas are safest and it’s better to be safe than sorry.

How To Aspirate: Stick yourself with the needle and then draw back on the syringe. If your syringe fills with blood, you need to reposition your needle. If it doesn’t fill with blood, you’re safe to inject there.

Signs that you’ve injected into a vein: — Stroke — Shortness of breath — Coughing — Chest and/or abdominal pain — Low Oxygen — Blood clots — Slurred speech — Headache — Swelling — Tenderness

Literally just aspirate because it takes 2 seconds and can save your life.

Please share this post so that this practice becomes more common!

[trans-i-am]

I didn’t know this either until I became friends with a diabetic. Don’t pull too hard. If you’re going to get blood back, it’ll be relatively watery unlike the testosterone oil and it’ll come back smoother and quicker than drawing up testosterone. You’ll know. But it only takes a small tug. Just do it.

But also don’t fret too much about it. It can make you feel really gross and cause you some pain and distress/discomfort, but it probably won’t kill you if you don’t already have a condition affecting the blood or lungs. Absolutely call your doctor if you experience it, but they’ll likely tell you to just stay calm and let it ware off. But don’t take that to mean you shouldn’t care if it happens, just don’t panic when it does. I personally have some really bad anxiety and panic attacks so if I even think something went wrong like this I might freak out and think I’m going to die in the moment, so for those people, just chill out, you’re going to be fine. It’ll ware off in a few hours. If it doesn’t, you should seek help. You should call your doctor though to keep updated and listen to their advice about it. Don’t just go take a nap to pass the time.

3 Non-Invasive Facial Masculinization Options for Transgender Males - Gender Confirmation

Some transgender males are pleased with the facial changes they acquire through hormone therapy. Meanwhile, others are not satisfied with the level and extent of masculinization that they’ve accomplished. As a result, this could have a negative impact on self-esteem and overall well-being. While masculinization surgery can help, it could be costly and time-consuming for some patients. Non-Invasive Facial Masculinization Options Fortunately, you can opt for non-invasive techniques at our gender confirmation surgery in San Francisco. We understand that surgery may not be the best option for transgender males who are looking into getting that well-chiseled face. In this article, let’s explore the three most common non-surgical facial masculinization options …Continue reading →

Just a little demonstration I made displaying the average changes on T. The timeline runs by months (0,2,4,6…etc.). This is just estimated and is not to be used as an exact guide for changes, some people may have some of these changes faster or slower than others and on some occasions, you may not even get some of these changes. This does not represent all changes nor does it represent emotional or mental changes.

0 months= Pre-T no changes

2 Months= Slight thickening of facial hair and deepening of voice

4 Months= Slightly more facial hair that is a little more noticeable

6 Months= More noticeable body hair and acne as you become greasier

8 Months= More acne and thickening of pre-existing body hair like eyebrows

10 Months= More/thicker/longer body hair thinning of face noticeable

12 Months= Thickening of neck and waist/ loss of ‘curves’

14 Months= Much noticeably deeper voice and body hair present

16 Months= Acne at full and new hair has become coarser, body becomes more angular

18 Months= Acne may begin to lessen and body hair will fill in

20 Months= Continued filling of body hair and skin clears up

22+ Months= At this point changes have slowed and you will not see very much of a difference after this point. You will continue to get hair growth and possible hair loss. In general you have completed your second (or possibly first) puberty. 

Other such changes not mentioned are thinning of skin, fat loss, muscle growth, weight gain, change in hairline, more noticeable surface veins of arms and legs, lessening of breast and leg fat, gaining stomach fat, possible slight height change or change in shoe size, heightened energy, better quality of sleep, stabilization of thoughts and emotions, possible increased irritability and aggression,  mildly desensitized nerves, possible change in vision, changes in metabolism, changes in taste buds, possible loss of ability to wear a binder for a long time due to changing body shape, possible changes in libido, possible changes in wants and desires (i.e. attraction to others, hobbies, interest in affection, etc.)

Just a reminder that this is not necessarily the exact experience of everyone who begins testosterone and is intended only as a reference!

I hope this was helpful as a guide for what to expect! If you have any questions or would like clarification on anything, feel free to send a message or an ask and I would be happy to explain!

Does anyone know where to buy T online? I’m too young to get it through the doctor without parental consent, but…it’s tiring, worrying about passing on the grace of a military undercut and dressing…

[trans-i-am]

Before I got on T, I tried a series of men’s vitamins and pills meant to increase testosterone. Stupid, I know. Your body can’t absorb ingested stuff like that quick enough for it to actually take a effect. I was going to the gym every so often and wasn’t really making any progress, nothing was working for me. But then I had the idea of getting a pre-workout powder. I tried it out and before I knew it, I became stronger than I had ever been before. I was able to do pull-ups, which I never could do before. My body started getting more muscular, I started feeling more masculine, and I was starting to feel pretty good about myself.

I definitely recommend some natural things like eating a little healthier and doing some exercises. Just doing things that are seen as masculine will make you feel better. And a little protein mix doesn’t hurt, just give you a boost, a lot like what natural testosterone would give you when you do a workout. And working out increases testosterone as well. I have some female friends who didn’t have the monthly stuff because they were so active. I never got on that level, but it’s definitely something that might make you feel better to know.

I started T at 19, even if things aren’t moving that quick, you’ll get there eventually. Every step forward is still a step in the right direction. Even if it’s just a little scoot. And not to mention, being that active will set you up really well for when you do get hormones and especially for top surgery. I was active enough that my skin elasticity allowed me to get keyhole, even though I was technically above the cutoff size for it. Even if you still need DI, the results will absolutely be better if you’re keeping up with your health and trying to stay fit.

With the end of the decade, I’m really considering writing a letter to my abuser. To say that I’m happy despite her.

She entered my life at the beginning of the decade and I want to close it out with something meaningful for myself. I see those pictures people post of their beginning of the decade and ending of the decade pictures, and I just can’t look at pictures of myself from back then without thinking about what I went through. I want to be able to let it go. I’m not the same as I was back then and I want her to know that she doesn’t own me and that she doesn’t have a hold on me anymore.

I know it’s a little personal. But thoughts?

[topsurgerysideblog]

To anyone looking for a top surgeon in Seattle: please please avoid Alexandra Schmidek at Virginia Mason.

I’m going to start with the biggest one: She wouldn’t let me ask any questions about the surgery until I booked the pre-op appointment AND the surgery. I’m going to say that again: She wouldn’t answer any of my questions until I scheduled the actual surgery. 

They require you to have all your letters in before scheduling an appointment which I thought was normal. After I decided to go get two more consultations with two other surgeons, I found out it definitely wasn’t. This dragged out the process by a few weeks, and then once they FINALLY got the paperwork processed they accidentally shredded them. It was ridiculous and obviously dragged it out another two weeks.

She would not explain why I couldn’t get keyhole. I was already 100% prepared to get double incision since I was pretty sure I didn’t qualify for keyhole, but I still wanted the surgeon themself to explain why. I also only found a few results/reviews online and it seems she makes everyone get DI without explaining it properly. Once I saw the surgeon I’ve decided to go to now, he explained exactly why I could get it but why people choose not to. Her lack of ability to explain why keyhole wasn’t an option (it was) really speaks to how much she knows of top surgery in general, in my opinion.

The office staff are extremely rude to the point that the last time I called them, one of them mocked me. Genuinely repeated the sentence I said to her back in a high pitched voice. She also wouldn’t let me say more than three or four words before she would yell over me. I’m honestly still a bit in shock from being yelled at on the phone by someone who works at the hospital I almost went to.

They told me that I was approved for surgery by my insurance so they helped me pick out my date for me. I called them yesterday to have them transfer over the approval paperwork to my other surgeon so I wouldn’t have to start the process over and they told me they had no record of my insurance being approved or the surgeon signing a pre-authorization form. They were going to give me surgery before my insurance went through while directly lying to me that it had been. 

The surgeon whose consultation I went to after deciding against her explained the surgery so thoroughly in the first appointment he answered 11/14 of the questions on my list before I even asked them. Both the surgeons I scheduled consultations with after her recommended I bring the letter to the first appointment, but afterwards was fine as to not slow down the process of first seeing the surgeon. They also provided the paperwork I could sign for them to contact my medical professionals directly to get the letters for me. At Virginia Mason, you had to get the letters yourself before you can schedule anything. The reason this doesn’t work well is because the consultation is basically an interview to see if you like the surgeon or not.

The most malicious thing I felt at Virginia Mason was that their system is set up to make you feel like they are your only choice. By not letting me get a consultation until I had the letters (which they have very specific guidelines for) and then not answering any questions until the pre-op, which you have to schedule within a month of surgery, I ended up feeling trapped into getting surgery with her because I’d already invested so much of my time.

I wanted surgery so bad I refused to see all the red flags until it was almost too late, which made me waste another 8 months. I also have found barely anything online about her (even the surgeon I’m going to go to now hasn’t heard of her) and I wanted at least post this review so people will know to avoid her.

ACA Enrollment Cheat Sheet!

so it’s open enrollment time, which means you need to pick a health insurance plan from the exchanges!  it can be daunting as shit, for sure, especially if you don’t live in the filthy weeds that are the business side of our garbage health care industry like yours truly does.  

so!  here’s a quick rundown of some of the vocabulary:

premiums: this is what you pay per month for the glorious honor of having insurance coverage.  it does not count towards your deductible or out of pocket maximum.  depending on your income, you may be eligible for a subsidy or other financial assistance to make your premiums more affordable.  

deductible: this is how much in health care costs you have to pay before your insurance starts really kicking in.  for example, my insurance through work had a $1,500 deductible, so the copays and coinsurances and lab costs that i had to pay early in the year, before i had another surgery, were fully my responsibility until i’d paid out $1,500; after that, my insurance started covering a flat 80% of everything, including copays.  basically, the deductible is how many actual dollars you have to pay out for medical costs before your insurance takes over.  

if you’re someone who goes to the doctor a lot, like me, you’re probably going to want a plan with a lower deductible, which will have a higher premium; however, in the long run, you’ll come out more ahead with a high premium/lower deductible.

on the flip side, if you’re generally healthy and just need an annual checkup, flu shot, ob-gyn annual, etc., then you probably want a lower premium/higher deductible plan.

out of pocket maximum: this is the cap on how much– aside from premiums– you should have to pay in health care costs in a year.  most plans on the exchanges right now have a high deductible and higher OOP max.  

network: this is the collection of providers (doctors, surgeons, urgent care facilities, imaging facilities, etc.– any clinical medical care or medical service provider) that are contracted with the insurance plan.  this means that they have an agreement with the plan to accept payment from that plan for services.  you can still see out of network providers, but your plan may have a separate out of network deductible that is higher and that you pay separately from your main deductible (for example, if your plan deductible if $5,000, you might have a separate out of network deductible of $5,500; even if you’ve already paid of $4,950 of your regular deductible, if you see an out of network doctor, you’re going to have to hit the $5,500 deductible in copays and whatnot before the insurance covers them fully).  

most insurers have their own website that identifies what doctors are in network.  sometimes you can access this without being on the plan already, sometimes you can’t.  a decent, though inconsistent, workaround is to use zocdoc, where you can put in the plan type you’re thinking about switching to and see what doctors are in network.  the drawback to zocdoc is that contract status is doctor-reported, so if the doctor’s office in question is slow to update, the records may be out of date.  

another option to determine network availability for a specific doctor or care group is, if you’re okay hopping on the phone, to just give them a call and ask outright if they’re going to be in network for plan ___ in 2018.  

if you’re like me and hate talking on the phone, the other option is that large provider groups, and a good number of smaller groups and individual providers, will often also have accepted insurances on their websites.  in my experience almost all providers who have privileges at a hospital will have that listed on their pages on the hospital’s website.

copay: this is a flat fee you pay to a provider when you see them.  it’s like the cover charge at a bar: you pay $20 to get in the door, and then you get the dubious honor of also paying for the drinks and food you buy inside on top of that.  

coinsurance: this is a percentage charge for seeing a provider.  instead of a $20 copay for the cost of the visit to see doctor bob, you’re charged, say, 10% of the total cost of all charges associated with you visit to see doctor bob.  if you don’t get much done, this may only like $10; if you get a full metabolic panel run and a bunch of xrays, it might be $100.  

and the plan types:

hmo: health management organization.  the concept of this plan is that you have a pcp (primary care provider - your regular doctor) who functions as your primary point of contact for all medical care.  if you want to see a non-pcp doctor, you have to first see your pcp, who will write you a referral to see said specialist.  specialists include orthopedists, physical therapists, neurologists, ob-gyns,  etc. - any provider who isn’t your pcp, basically.  

hmos tend to be cheaper for you, the beneficiary

this is because of how they’re paid out: pcp doctors receive a capitation (aka, a set flat amount) payment from the insurer for each beneficiary (you) who has them as a pcp.  

so, if i’m a primary care doc and i have 200 blue cross hmo patients and i get $100 per patient, i get $20,000 from blue cross, ostensibly for the cost of care provided, but the provider keeps all $20,000 even if they only end up incurring $15,000 in costs.  the downside of this for you as a patient is that this encourages pcps to get a lot of people to sign up as their patients, and then to see them as little as possible/push them out to specialists for actual care, as this lowers their costs and increases their revenues.  

you may end up feeling like you’re going in circles trying to get actual care because you’re getting pushed from one doctor to another.

note: hmo plans sometimes do not cover out of network providers at all.

ppo: preferred provider organization.  this plan is a free for all: if they’re in network, you can go to whomever you want.  they tend to be a bit pricier (almost always on premiums, 50/50 on deductibles) than hmo plans, but you’re basically paying for ease of access.  you can make an appointment directly with any specialist you so choose.  these plans are ideal for people like me, since i have to see orthopedists and hematologists and physical therapists pretty regularly, and going through a pcp for each of those would be a pain.  

you’ll tend to have relatively low copays within the network and higher ones outside of it

unlike some hmo plans, most ppo plans will provide coverage for out of network providers, just at a less favorable rate

epo: exclusive provider organization. this is the bastard child of the hmo and ppo and is also an increasingly common option on most of the exchanges.  like a ppo, no pcp or referrals are provided; however, the network tends to be narrower and you have less choice of in-network providers and, crucially, they don’t tend to cover any out of network providers except for emergencies 

important note: the classification of “emergency” isn’t just “emergency situation”, but generally is limited to a proven medical emergency in which you go to an actual emergency room or emergency department.  

insurers will frequently challenge ER/ED bills to confirm medical necessity because– 

in their defense, since they’re meant to cover almost the entirety of emergency bills and also because one of the quantifiable measures of success in moving to value-based care that the ACA established is lowering avoidable ER/ED admissions

–they don’t want to encourage people to go the ER/ED for just anything

high deductible/catastrophic: these are exactly what they sound like– plans for healthy young people who are pretty much only going to wind up with medical costs if something terrible and, well, catastrophic, like a car accident, happens.  they have low premiums and very high deductibles (often approaching ~$10,000).  these are only available to people under the age of thirty, because clearly as soon as you turn thirty you must turn into a total drain on all healthcare resources :|

so what does all of this boil down to for you and your enrollment?

start by figuring out what financial help you’re eligible for!  the exchanges generally have an option at the front end of the process for you to identify your annual income and number of dependents on your plan.  this will let you know if you’re eligible for a subsidy or other financial help, and, if so, how much; you should also have an option when searching through plans on the exchanges to input estimated financial help, which will adjust the premiums in the search engine.  

after that, start digging into the individual plan options.  every exchange plan should provide a summary of benefits and coverage.  it’ll be a pdf and will look like this:

that red circle in the top right there? that’s where you can identify what type of plan you’re looking at.  the first page in the summary of benefits will always look the same– it’s the basic overview of the costs and definitions.

this document will also list excluded services.  it’ll generally be somewhere in the middle/back half of the document and will have a clear header like this:

for me, this is the first thing i look for after verifying premium and deductible amounts.  as the above picture indicates, you can find more information in the plan documents.  these aren’t always directly linked to on the exchange website, but you can generally find them on the insurance providers website.  these will be a lot more detailed and can be anywhere between twenty and 200 pages.  ctrl + f your heart out: as frustrating and complicated as insurers can be, they can’t actually fail to disclose if they, for example, don’t cover all forms of contraceptives.  they’ll disclose it in the plan documents, even if they don’t, unfortunately, have to be clear and up front about it.

NOTE: MINIMUM VALUE STANDARDS

towards the end of the summary of benefits document will be a page that looks like this:

minimum value standards roughs out to basically meaning that at least 60% of all medical charges are covered.  if the plan you’re on does not meet minimum value standards, you might be able to get a tax credit to help you buy another marketplace plan.  always check for this verification when you’re researching plans.

what does all of this shit mean? 

it means start here and then find your state’s exchange from there.  the garbage carrot in chief established “maintenance times” on this website throughout the open enrollment period (sunday afternoons, i believe), so schedule around that.  sit down on a monday or wednesday or saturday with some snacks and a cup of your favorite beer/wine/tea/whathaveyou and crank up some good music to jam to and do some research:

start with figuring out what you can afford monthly and if something terrible happens and you have to cover ER and/or surgery bills

if you have a specific doctor you want to stay with, figure out which insurances they’ll be accepting

check for coverage info in the summary of benefits documents and, if you want more detail, in the plan documents

narrow it down to a few and compare the prices

take a break and have a cookie, you deserve it at this point

pick a plan!  if you’re not feeling super certain about it, go for a walk, do some laundry, pet your cat– just take a break, walk away, come back to it with fresh eyes.  this is a big deal, so you don’t want to wear your brain out and give yourself a headache and then just pick one at random because you have eye strain and want to be done.  open enrollment goes until december 15, so don’t rush yourself.

sign up for your plan

have another cookie and pat yourself on the back, because you just signed up for health insurance for 2018!

now take a nap because that was fucking exhausting and you deserve it

as always, i’m here for any questions you might have!  

if i don’t know the answer, i can point you towards someone or some resource that will.  don’t be afraid to ask me or anyone else for help!  this is a complicated situation and even though the current administration is trying really hard to make it worse, there are still always resources available to you for help and guidance.  all you have to do is ask :)

open enrollment for health coverage in 2020 will open on november 1st and end on december 15th, 2019

there will be basically zero advertising for it this year, bc of the current administration and also bc alex azar is a shithead, so.  put it in your calendar so you don’t forget, expect them to roll out another maintenance schedule on the website that will fuck with weekends and usual enrollment times, and get started early this year.  

i’ll also make a more detailed addition later, but be really careful looking at what the plans offer. there are shitty junk plans allowed on the marketplaces now so don’t assume that just because they’re on an aca state exchange that they’re good, or even decent coverage. i know health insurance is expensive and overwhelming to look at, but there are affordable, decent plans in most marketplaces, even if you have to dig for them.

if you have any questions about how to apply, what kind of plan you want, or anything at all related to enrolling for health insurance during open enrollment, i’m always here for any questions!

[fiddleabout]

there’s one month left in open enrollment for coverage in 2020!

[fiddleabout]

open enrollment for coverage in 2020 ends on december 15th!

[fiddleabout]

you have until this sunday, december 15th, to enroll for insurance coverage in 2020.  

after 12/15 the only way you’ll be able to enroll for coverage in 2020 is if you have a special election period.  don’t miss the deadline.

if you have any questions about enrollment or plan options, please don’t hesitate to ask!  my inbox is open or you can message me directly via chat as well.

Trans people who DIY hormones: You don’t have to rely on sketchy information on Tumblr or Reddit regarding your trans health care. Granted, there can be some tidbits that might be useful for the DIY’er that you simply can’t get from medical resources but you absolutely should read and have access to peer-reviewed, medical literature on transgender health care.

This is a guide detailing the use of feminizing hormones, written by the University of California San Fransisco’s gender clinic.

This is the same guide for people who are seeking masculinizing hormones.

[trans-i-am]

I can’t believe it needs to be said

Please don’t lie to your therapist/psychiatrist/doctor about having dysphoria if you don’t. Tell them what you’re really feeling and going through. They are trained professionals and they cannot help you if you’re not being honest with them.

If you believe you may not recive hormones or surgery because of how you really feel, it is even more important that you are honest with them. They know what they’re doing, I promise.
