uh, well. Okay sometimes trans women on hrt have experienced something akin to a menstrual cycle (like abdominal cramping, and all that kind of stuff) but it is definitely not guaranteed to occur and is kinda on the more rare side. basically the entire menstrual cycle hormone stuff is controlled by the ovaries, where one essentially makes a follicle that produces estrogen in the first half of the cycle and then after ovulation, the bursted follicle becomes the corpus leutum and produces progesterone, which sustains the corpus leutum long enough to allow fertilization to occur. But in an AMAB body you (likely) don't have the ovaries to mediate the menstrual cycle hormones. So you technically won't ever get a "proper" menstrual cycle, especially since you're not replicating the hormonal cycles of the menstrual cycle (you want a constant ish level of E, and progesterones are not always prescribed) If I HAD TO GUESS why some people on E-based HRT feel effects similar to a menstrual cycle maybe it's related to high(er) amounts of estrogen? ovulation is typically associated with rising levels of estrogen, so that's something. But honestly I have little clue as to why it occurs, only that it does occur sometimes

To be more specific, I suppose, estrogen and testosterone both exemplify a negative feedback loop with gonadotropic releasing hormone (GNRH). GNRH creates two other hormones, Leutinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) - FSH stimulates the testes to make testosterone, and LH does some. But when the body makes too much testosterone (or estrogens, but that's more complicated because the menstrual cycle hormones do not have a constant level they persist at) basically we see a decline in GNRH, which means the body doesn't produce more testosterone for a bit until the current level has diminished a bit. But since both high levels of T and E can cause an inhibitory effect on GNRH, you can, if you are getting estrogens from another outside source (like taking HRT!), cause the inhibitory effect on GNRH with just raw estrogen alone, this completely turning off the body's production of T. note that it typically requires a LOT higher levels to do E mono therapy, and typically people opt to use estrodiol valerate (injections) for delivering consistent, high amounts of E directly to the body.

See my edit: I was referring to spirolactone for that Honestly have zero idea. I did research into feminizing HRT almost exclusively, so I didn't really encounter any information about masculinizing HRT at all Well uh The cycle and stuff is really really complicated but basically you have reproductive organs and they, they uh, they make testosterone. Lots of it. What makes estrogens in the male endocrine system, I have no idea. But there's definitely a LOT more testosterone than estrogen and I would suspect the effects of testosterone would just override that of estrogen. But that's a theory.

Spirolactone: Basically it makes you pee more and acts as a "Testosterone blocker". You'd otherwise need really high levels of estrodiol to counter the effects of testosterone. Estrodiol: Bioequivalent form of estrogen found in the human body

You never gonna know Whether it is worth it to follow the truth But why, why Was it a lie That no one could know my mind

check your profile. Top left coroner

"Profile Picture" Like, the little icon that appears near your name when you post, yours is a light red letter 'D' at the moment helps with personality, even if it's a random image.

you should get a pfp:3 I mean I've always assumed I've been broken because of the way I was built incorrectly, growing up in an entirely neurotypical household and facing constant ableism because I happened to be the only one in the bloodline to have a mental disorder of any kind

Interesting I've always assumed they could

... advantages?

I mean to be fair I don't necessarily know what it's like to have autism. (My parents had me autism tested twice though at a young age lol) I have grown up with a diagnosis for ADHD since I was like, 7 or 8 years of age. But idk if that constitutes neurodivergence... autism tends to be a completely different set of characteristics than ADHD so I'm hesitant to say I resonate with you or whatever thank you for your reply though

"Oh, okay." Ribbon did not seem convinced. -
I mean tbh I should probably be more careful with what I say because I am worried I pressure individuals into pursuing a genderqueer path without necessarily putting their best interests in mind anything specific you wanna get? anything you've always wanted to wear? or maybe think is cute? a big challenge you'll have to overcome is not feeling shame when asking people for help with these kinds of things. Takes a bit of time to get over this hurdle but also just remember that if people judge you it reflects on them not you hah I am sleepless Tbh they don't sound terribly unsupportive. Depending on your age and/or reliance to them, they could be receptive, but you might need to prove that it's something you really do care about/want them to take seriously. hmmm understandable. Parents don't have to be the first people you come out to in real life either, something to keep in mind. stopped painting my nails a long time ago cause it didn't feel like authentically me. While hyper feminine stuff appeals to me sometimes the chance I'd actually wear something like that is super low tbh. But maybe. nails and stuff isn't that hard to get started on assuming you have the means of obtaining them and the money. But it is neat to try. I found it strangely soothing. Shaving your legs is fairly simple. It can also be something to experiment with if you want to try something. In the spoiler below is a more detailed guide for how to do that if you're curious You should start thinking of a name :3 that always helps oh yeah I'm also writing this while taking estrodiol for the first time :3

Ribbon shook her head at both the scribe and the Eldritch narrator who had been kind enough to interrupt. "That's right. Ancient evil of the plotblade variety." She pocketed the phone, but made a mental note not to touch it. Others didn't need to be involved. "Maybe we need a new MAJOR CHARACTER," ribbon proposed, "it's been too long since we've had one." -
I'm going to leave a response to @Factor about trans on cgd

oh I could talk about all the sharders I've seen go

French > This is used in a sentence when there is something in a future tense, but this action is also in the future, but before the other future. This is called the "futur anterieur" in French

ok well I would advise you to be cautious because sometimes you can be not ready that'd just be disrespectful and not cool. AoN is actually not that bad. I read it in 2023 and I think it's actually fine. Not immaculate like a lot of Sanderson works but it is decently good
-
red rising was a good read. A lot more mature of a read than sanderson books, imo
-
oh it's quite good. By Islington too Started will of the many a long time ago haven't finished it.
