  • Hm couple things! My levels after 3 months weren't changing as much as I wanted to. Before I started on HRT I basically had double the average Testosterone (& double the average E) so I figured injections were a guaranteed way to nuke my T levels.

    I also had heard from others that injections worked much better than pills, and I figured since I wasn't scared of needles that I'd give it a try. It was also super convenient to switch to only remembering my HRT once a week, I've got ADHD & was struggling a lot to remember taking my pills twice a day.

  • Congrats! Wishing you the best on your journey!

    I switched to subq injections after about 3 months on pills & it was the best decision I ever made for my transition. Felt like the whole process accelerated, within 7 months of switching to injections (10 on HRT) I was stealth at my new job, it was shocking how much of a difference that made.

  • Main thing to worry about with clots from oral pills is if you smoke! If you don't smoke nicotine then the risk is low like the commenter said above.

  • It's fun! But once you go once you've basically seen it all, so I'm looking to branch out

  • What injection setup do you use?

  • Good to know! I might drop to 23g if I keep coring

  • Nice! That's awesome! I was struggling so hard to draw with 30G, not sure if I was just doing it wrong or what. Using standard pharmacy EV

  • Basically same setup here except 25G injection needle, nice!

  • Once again, looking for PS2 game suggestions!

    Jump

  • Yes absolutely! Inspired Dark Souls, future zelda games, & basically every indie game to come out afterwards.

    I started The Last Guardian, still need to go back & finish it. I liked a lot of what it was bringing to the table, but the pacing dragged a bit in the middle imo.

  • That fight is so incredible, I could gush about it all day. The ambience, the visuals, the environmental storytelling, just amazing.

    The only colossus to feel so direct in its attacks towards you, you can feel its anger at watching its fellow colossi die. Especially since when you reach the top you realize the 16th faces out from the bottom of the map, so it saw every colossus be slain one after another.

    Also holy shit having to snipe its hands/shoulders then jump onto it was so exciting, even if it was a bit jank.

  • Once again, looking for PS2 game suggestions!

  • I love the ps2 era of games! Here are some suggestions:

    • ICO: Minimalist game about a cursed boy & a girl with mysterious powers trying to escape a castle together. An absolute classic.
    • Shadow of the Colossus: Another Team ICO game, this one you've probably heard of. You play as a young man who sets out for the Forbidden Lands, finding and slaying 16 colossi to resurrect his deceased love.
    • Silent Hill 2: One of the greatest survival horror games ever made. Introspective, tackles mature themes, and deeply chilling. A game I truly feel is haunted.
    • Persona 4: High schoolers solving a murder mystery in a rural Japanese town. I prefer the vanilla ps2 version to the revised Golden edition, it graphically preserves the fog & spookier ambience - with better pacing from less bloat.

    For some more obscure games:

    • The Adventures of Cookie & Cream: A brutal co-op/singleplayer puzzle game developed by Fromsoft. Has a fun art style & interesting levels.
    • Tak 3 - the Great Juju Challenge: Works best in co-op but still a blast in single-player. 3D platformer with varied levels & a fantastic voice cast (Patrick Warburton as Lok is the highlight).

    Btw if you're playing mgs3 on the ps2 make sure it's the Subsistence edition! It has a 3D camera that works way better than the top-down the og game shipped with.

  • I think I'm trans

    Jump

  • Im a trans lesbian & its absolutely ok! Despite my understanding of my gender changing a lot, my sexuality stayed almost the exact same before & after coming out.

    I highly recommend looking into a supportive therapist to talk things through & figure out how you want to handle your feelings & possible transition. One thing I'll say for sure is that I thought it would ruin my life too, but I'm happier than ever & the people that showed up for me when I came out are closer to me than ever. Felt like I could finally breathe again when I started transitioning

  • I think part of that silliness is intentional, at least in my interpretation of the game. The internal thesis of the game seems to be examining how far they can push the player-to-protagonist relationship until it breaks. Similar to the first game, where it was intended for players to have complicated feelings about having to control Joel in the hospital at the end doing something they may not have wanted to do but was 100% in character for Joel.

    Part 2 feels like that idea stretched across the entire game, especially for Ellie. There's a pretty powerful metaphor for addiction in the form of addiction to violence/revenge, and I feel like going to Santa Barbara shows Ellie reaching her rock bottom. The player doesn't want this (especially after playing as Abby), Dina doesn't want this, hell part of Ellie doesn't even want this. It's just the main thing she knows how to solve her problems - through violence

  • Wtf are these "clearly more promising avenues" for trans youth? And "behavioral interventions" to eradicate HIV?

    Jump

  • The avenues for trans kids is conversion therapy, or the dog-whistle "faith based counseling"; seen with the recent federal insurance ban on covering HRT but explicitly calling out conversion therapy coverage. A practice which is banned in several states but has been challenged by conservatives claiming that banning the torture of kids infringes on their "free speech"
