Is losing your sex drive the same as not finding people sexually attractive anymore? I've got this woman who says that losing your genitals will not affect whether or not you become Asexual.



I would say that they are two different things. I have had times where my libido was completely tanked ...

It seems like doctors are becoming more tolerant to self-medication recently.

As far as the hormone free thing goes, if you're worried about bone health and other symptoms of low sex hormones, you could consider adding Raloxifene, which is a partial agonist of the estrogen receptors. The benefit to it: if you don't want to grow breast tissue, it will prevent breast growth ...

Tell them it fell off because you misbehaved as a child.

TopManFL, when I was growing up it was pretty common for everyone to be nude in locker rooms, saunas, etc. Could have been the geographical location too lol.

As to the thread topic, I don't see why it would matter. Even if the children knew, children are super accepting and tolerant people. They ...

You do understand my objection was self-medication without doctors knowledge. In your case, you've notified the physician, and they can take it into account in the care plan. The idea being that if you are self medicating with whatever chemical/drug, they need to know. That way they do not ...

I just got back from my doctor.

She's fine with me self medding cypro until I get an orchi. She put it in her records she advises against it. Orchi will have to be out of pocket. $6000 locally (yikes) so it's Arnkoff for sure. Just gotta save up or find other ways to pay. Being trans is officially ...

Yeah, self medication is necessary if one is young and wants to take immediate action against the menace that is Testosterone.

If nobody helps me, I can just keep self medding. If self medding becomes illegal, the darknet exists and will sell estrogen and cypro (if I even have balls when or if that ...

I love this stuff. Against self medication, won't help a self medicating person get off the medication and on a script. You're not the problem, but people with that mindset are.

This is why so many trans people, particularly under 30, self medicate for quite a long time. Unlike me, most don't know ...

Lightening, I definitely appreciate it and wish there were more doctors willing or able to render the services Arnkoff does, around the world.

If one is MtF transgender, like I am, most European countries actually have free paths to castration and/or SRS (some surgeons will work with those who have ...

Let's be realistic here, Losethem. He's been in operation for years, no pun intended. I think he would be taken down by now. In legal matters, signing some documentation can really screw one over in regards to suing someone. As a nurse, rather than someone with experience in legal matters, one might ...

It may even get you insurance coverage.

I'm on Medicaid and a lot of stuff in my state isn't covered for transgender people. I'm very new to it so I still need to look deeper, but I suspect I will find little to no coverage for trans related things.

It all depends on the state and/or insurance ...

I wouldn't be surprised if there is one or several in the northeast who will do the surgery with the right paperwork. IIRC Boston has a transgender clinic, I'm sure transgender people don't need to go far from the northeast or even leave it. There used to be Dr. Kimber, in Philadelphia, if I ...

Losethem, I love playing devil's advocate so bear with me here and don't take it personal:

He never explicitly stated he was dismissing Arnkoff.

Not all people can rent cars or drive.

Not everyone wants to go get surgery alone and take care of themselves after. (Additional 2nd person costs ...

Ok that is who I thought you might say. Now how about if testosterone is low I don't want test I would want estrogen do you think that is a possibility or do I have to go through therapy and then get estrogen.



Depends on the individual doctor. Here one has to play dress up and rub it in their ...

I'm going to be VERY blunt. If you cannot manage to get yourself from the Northeast US to Detroit, you're creating excuses.

While more doctors are coming online all the time, the chances of finding a legitimate doctor to help you with this and have them on your doorstep, are fairly remote ...
