Anyone have a peritoneal pull through?
  • You're not likely to have the energy to do anything beyond lounging around for at least a week or two, I'd plan on taking at least a month off work.

  • What's the oldest piece of tech you still have running?
  • It's either my alarm clock or 5.1 speakers, both of which would be somewhere over 20 years old.

  • Does anyone have a habbit of deadnaming themselves in their head
  • Took me maybe a year to fully stop doing.

  • On Self-Diagnosis
  • It varies in practice. Most people I see using identify, including many trans people, are well-intentioned and think it's the preferred polite language without thinking too hard on the implications of it.

    However there are definitely anti-trans people who will use it pejoratively, which I presume is where that wording originated.

  • Our son's first day at the beach!!
  • He longs for the ocean.

  • Just started Strattera. I feel superhuman, but have some questions about the side effects.
  • For me I noticed minor benefits after 4 days, and it took about 2 weeks for it to more fully kick in.

    Personally the other side effects ended up with me going off it. The focus benefits stayed, though the low mood it turned out it was causing took 3 weeks to go away after I stopped.

    my male genitals are not working well

    This is a common side effect.

  • People who take atomoxetine, how did it improve your life?
  • When I previously looked into that, there's no literature on taking both. However I hear for some people that guanfacine alone is sufficient.

  • People who take atomoxetine, how did it improve your life?
  • When I was on it I found it helped with distraction, but not task initiation, and the various dosages made no difference. Given that and some of the side effects I ended up going off it.

    Guanfacine handled the task initiation for me, but not the distraction.

  • Suggestions for cartoons
  • Nimona and there's a bit in The Legend of Korra.

    For anime there's Wandering Son (trans), Yuri on Ice (gay, didn't see the hype myself), and I'm currently working through S1 of Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury which my housemate and I refer to as Space Lesbians - though technically its more bi. I watch subs, so can't comment on dubs.

  • Is it normal to misgender yourself?
  • Yes, it took me maybe 6-12 months after I was out to stop doing it.

    Still happens rarely, usually for phrases that are gendered that I'd not be using often.

  • FOSS Voice Training
  • https://friture.org/ is the one I've been using.

  • Why is breast surgery available at 15 when bottom surgery is only available at 18?
  • Yes basically, it's also less complex. Due to this there's more research data to support it for under 18s than genital surgery.

    See the section "Consideration of ages for gender-affirming medical and surgical treatment for adolescents" in WPATH v8 which covers this in depth.

  • The Collapse Of The UK’s Gender Identity Clinic - Hannah Barnes | Modern Wisdom 611
  • The anti-trans groups champion her book, so I think it's safe to say that she is not impartial.

  • Blåhaj recovering from SRS (Stuffing Replacement Surgery)

    I wish I knew, for my entire life, why people will choose to sit in any other seat before they choose to sit near me on transit. Do I exude autism?
  • This is called the "bus rule" around here, you don't sit beside someone if there's a still a set of seats you can have to yourself.

    I'd be more worried if they did sit beside you, as that'd be considered a bit creepy.

  • If I go onto meds, will I still be able to rely on hyperfocus to accomplish tasks or master new skills?
  • The downside is that the adverse effects of the meds can prevent you from being able to do much, so its about finding just the right dosage for your body.

  • If I go onto meds, will I still be able to rely on hyperfocus to accomplish tasks or master new skills?
  • In my experience it is still possible, and you can even get a bit more control as to what you hyperfocus on.

  • Purrberty blockers can be administered by a fellow blåhaj

    Image Description: A Zoladex injection is being administered to a small cat plushy wearing a blåhaj costume, by a larger version of itself which is also wearing a non-binary scarf. The Zoladex is almost as thick as the smaller blåhaj's arm.

    The number of Blåhaj I share accommodation with is countably finite.
