@miona@toot.lgbt nods and offers empathetic hugs If it helps, we're aware of some interactions with some conditions¹ and some methods², and would be happy to share resources. If nothing else, we know some that debunk common myths pushed by some of the "specialists"³ who don't keep updated on publications and studies. No obligation: just don't want you to end up like many have done before, where they end up on a low dose of estradiol alongside the worst antiandrogen (spironolactone) or the second-worst (cyproterone acetate) 🥺🩷 ¹ connective tissue and immune system disorders ² pills, transdermal (gel, patches, spray), injections, implant ³ medical gatekeepers

@miona@toot.lgbt offers empathetic hugs if wanted We understand firsthand how much waiting to start sucks, and how badly dysphoria stings 🥺 We wish we could say it all goes away with access to GAHT, and maybe it does for some, but we're approaching our 5th anniversary on feminising GAHT and still experience a lot of it. However, it's still SO much better than not being on it, and we wish we'd known about how safe, affordable, and amazing homebrew (DIY) estradiol injections were when our egg cracked, as we'd have started about 6+ months sooner than we did. And we wish that person had also known enough to dismiss any notions that prescription stuff was "better" (it's not) or safer (nope), or that doctors "know best" (really, really nope) 😔 If you need any such info there, our DMs remain open until our instance goes down forever in about 3 months. FWLIW, we thought you already were on feminising GAHT. We know that won't help how you see yourself, but we wanted to advise nonetheless.

@Willowbriar@chaosfem.tw Wishing that you enjoy the end of it 🫶 Won't say any more.

@alice@lgbtqia.space Is it really TMI if folx were a-skin for it? 🤭

@freya@social.highenergymagic.net Ah. Yes. The other type of IPL. Our advice to folx remains to avoid IPL entirely for hair removal and either go straight to laser (if suitable) or electrolysis (thermolysis, galvanic, or blend).
