there are so many people just debating "the use of" women, you've got JD Vance openly pondering what the "use of" women who can't concieve is, you've got those misogynist gamers debating what the "use of" women is in video games, and you've got terfs debating the "use of" trans women and also the "use of" women in general----- there are seemingly millions of people who don't question the idea society is made for men, and women are just guests in it, that society doesn't belong to them too

Once more pointing out that transphobes never demand to know "what is a man" and never question why it's only women that they're so eager to box in

hey just bc Ive been dealing with a lot of trans girlies w this issue. If your doctor ever prescribes weekly injections, ASK FOR CYPIONATE, NOT VALERATE.

If valerate is your only option, then MAKE SURE YOUR DOCTOR PRESCRIBES YOU ENOUGH FOR 4 or 5 DAY INJECTION CYCLES.

Weekly injections (every 7 days) with estradiol valerate leaves you with long periods of REALLY LOW HORMONE LEVELS IN YOUR BODY which can lead to symptoms like LOWERED MOOD, AND DEPRESSION SYMPTOMS.

So far, it's been a common experience that doctors prescribing estradiol injections have NO IDEA WHAT THEY'RE DOING and I've seen some friends deal with adverse effects and worsened mental health bc they don't know this.

So, unfortunately, it falls to us to learn and spread this info ourselves.

When shopping around for injectable hrt, take this rule of thumb into consideration:

Valerate: 4-5 day injection cycles for stable hormone levels
Cypionate: 7 day injection cycles for stable hormone levels
Enanthate: 7-10 day injection cycles for stable hormone levels

Your choice may vary depending on what is available to you, but keep this in mind when shopping around for options or for when you're negotiating with your doctor.

its not like i use theyfab but i dont really give a shit if my sisters are using it like i get it i get it its like the fucking screaming not all men when women vent frustration about men its the same basic principle that goes out the fucking window when it comes to transfems

It's hard to have that discussion when the popular reaction is to believe that being trans means you don't have to think about these things anymore, so to them it looks like transfems are having meltdowns for no reason.
