hey thats what my doctor gave me for acne

[TC38Cole]

@craigistheman101 awesome stuff isn't it?

[AnimalAnimeFan]

hey dude. im biologically female, but im considering transitioning. this may be an awkward question, but im really curious. i hear in between your legs it gets bigger. i don't mean hair, like you actually grow something. is this true? about how big does it get? or does that depend on the person? thx lol sorry again for the awkwardness

[TC38Cole]

@AnimalAnimeFan Yes most people do experience somewhat significant genital growth, but the amount of growth does depend on the person as well as other personal characteristics like genetics, and the age that they start hormone therapy, and how big they were before starting hormones. Most guys grow at least a half inch to an inch, some grow more, pumping after about 6 months on T is supposed to help with growth. Hope that answers your question.

[craigistheman101]

@TC38Cole yeah it clears every up in like two weeks.

@danlublock A good place to start is T-Vox.org, click on law topics. Another option is to google the "requirements for transitioning in" what ever your state is. It's a bit trickier to do, but you can also go to your states website for their specific laws regarding transition. A gender center or Queer Outreach Center is another good place to ask. Hope that helps you out!

@danlublock Honestly it depends on where you go. I went to Howard Brown in Chicago and they use a sliding scale fee which is completely income based. Check what therapists are in your area and ask if any of them use a sliding scale, then cross check which ones are certified in gender related therapy. Also depending on your state you might not even need a therapist's go ahead to get hormones I know in IL you no longer need it if you can find a Dr. willing to give you a prescription.

@TC38Cole my head is already huge. part of that was due to the fact that i had a brain anomaly at birth [which hopefully T doesn't re-awaken] but i feel like i already have a male brain. my hands and feet are already large so i'm going to look like an Orangutan... great!

i already get told im somewhat of a "dick" because i say things bluntly and when something pisses me off i tend to let people Know. hopefully once my estrogen production is shut down i will get that male ability to just "brush it off" but i feel like since i used to have anger issues, it might only aggravate that shit in the beginning. since my therapist is free i will continue seeing him once on T for the first 6 months or so until i feel like i can control my moods on my own.
