androgen

[undergroundpanther]

I just wanted y'all to know I am on to the next fight,to get androgen for my transition.And it is looking like it is going to be a battle to get it.Sorry if I haven't been around as much.

I ask myself this most days,Why does this stupid society hung up over something as stupid as this binary gender bullshit STILL want to force me to stay this wrong way? In this gender based biological prison. I have had all my surgeries to remove the female parts,
There is endrocrinological proof for transgender being a real issue,physical proof too,why can't more people just get past the binary bullshit?

Wish me luck I have a feeling this might lead to a precedent if it goes that far.

Anyways I also have another thing on my mind the march on washington,anyone got any ideas for protest signs?

3. Gatekeepers hold their own prejudices, don't they?

I have friends who went through The University of Minnesota's Program in Human Sexuality in the late '80s / early '90s. They were very discouraged by being treated as research subjects rather than people.

Good luck!

4. Good luck on your journey!

I can't begin to understand what you're going through, but that's not my job. My job is to accept you for who you are at any time.

Acne is going to be a real problem, especially at the beginning. Your body will adapt eventually, but meticulous skin care is going to be necessary until it does. I always think that's one of the suckier parts of the transition because it screws with your appearance so much.

As for signs, how about LISTEN TO YOUR PEOPLE? It's damn time they did.

You will prevail

6. What's the problem?

I assuming you're transitioning FtM. If you've had top and bottom surgery, you need T to stave off osteoporosis. That's a relatively simple diagnosis and treatment plan.

9. I wish you an unobstructed journey

Everyone deserves to be happy. (actually that's what my former, late FIL said after digesting the news that I was MTF a few years ago, shortly before my transition.

10. Are the steroids you will take as dangerous as those bodybuilders use?

11. Never heard of Roid-Rage in a FtM

I would expect the problems bodybuilders experience are more due to the Quantity of Andogens in the system. I wouldn't think any reputable Enocrinologist would put our UnergroudPanther on a dose that would be any higher than that of a typical male, probably less. I suppose there are some risks with the therapy as there is for MtF's but they are probably not the same as what we see with the Bodybuilding crowd.

12. Another fucking gatekeeper asshole jamboree

My endocrinologist said androgen is slowly increased over time.The prescription was for 5 mg.Patches,1 a day.
Anyway the pharmacy and the MA are playing games,they are now telling me I need my endro's "pre Auth".WTF?? I thought writing the damn scrip IS her pre Authorization.Why would she give me something that she thinks would hurt me??..The patches WERE approved and the pharmacy told me to return the next day as they were out of patches in 5 mg.Then I get there the next day and all of a sudden Denied! Now the insurance claims to await my endocrinologist's pre auth? She called them already!!WTF!!.Daily they jerk my chain around on this.I am losing my Patience with these game playing assholes.All of them.
