  • I don’t think I’ve ever felt that the way a specific emotion manifested was masculine or feminine, but since starting HRT 8 months ago, I do feel a lot more free to express myself. I cry easier and I tend to not get as angry anymore. I’ve gotten significantly more social and I smile more often as well. And overall, I feel like I’m living my own life now and not someone else’s.

    I know I used to repress myself from expressing certain emotions beforehand. Perhaps that’s kinda what you are feeling? Which, starting HRT did help me break down some of the mental barriers I had surrounding those emotions.




  • I honestly wouldn’t trust hormones from Amazon in any form, but I have heard that creams in general have a lower absorption rate.

    If you’re not doing DIY, it’d be best to talk to your doctor about it, since they’ll know the best form and dose of it for you to take and you’d also be able to get it from a pharmacy then too.

    One of my worries about hormones that aren’t from a pharmacy are that since there unfortunately are people out there who don’t like us, they may purposely make products to harm us (which has happened before, I don’t remember the name of that product though) or they may make products that don’t work to scam people who are desperate and trying to DIY.






  • I switched to Linux a few months ago after building a new computer as I didn’t feel like paying over $100 for an OS that has ads in the start menu and spammy popups.

    Almost all of my games work fine and don’t have any issues with lag. The exception is GTA V which doesn’t work at all and Sims 4 which works fine but EA’s launcher has given me a few issues.

    You shouldn’t have any issues with document editing or web browsing. In my experience printing actually works better on Linux than it did for me on Windows.

    If you want you could dual boot or keep an old windows system around to play games that aren’t working on Linux, but in my experience, most games, especially indie games, work just fine on Linux.
