more cisgender women should be looking at cisgender boys' puberty as a menopause preview, honestly. i find that cis men treat menopause with more pause, ironically, because they recognise the emotional/physical rollercoaster - gee, your body is suddenly sweating absolute buckets and smelling way outside of your control? you feel gross, you keep growing patchy hairs in new itchy places, and summers have suddenly become unbearable? woof, been there done that, let's get you an ice pack and some gatorade buddy, i mean mom

until menopause hits them, cis women (among others) can sometimes treat male puberty as a gross horror that they are forced to mitigate the consequences of - ugh, men with their hair and their smelliness that they can't keep sanitised, it's a concession to live with them, it's a chore to share space with them. you know it's not just a Boy Hormone, right? this exact same testosterone will jump you in a dark alley 30 years from now, you can accept it before then or keep treating it like an enemy latched onto those around you

My hate boner for the TGT fanboys has been rekindled as the news about the divorce have come out, the comments about her being gold digger or "she always seemed like a pain" etc. is so annoying to see. Like do you know them personally? Does there always have to be one who's "wrong"? Why is it so often just "wahmen this and that"??

transphobic detransitioners (read: transphobic) will say the craziest anecdotal things such as "testosterone will drive you insane and break your brain because you'll start (describes common mental effects of puberty hormones)" like damn that's crazy. did you know testosterone is a hormone? do you know what hormones do? no?

If you're in the US and you're serious about not having a baby, get an IUD while they're still legal.

I think it very much depends on the person and how they age.

Some people are geriatric at 65, or die basically of old age at 60, so defining middle aged as 40+ doesn't make sense for everyone...

I look about the same as I did as a teen at 36. If I wasn't so disabled in various specific ways, I would be the picture of health and youthful virility. Even as disabled as I am I would be hard pressed to consider myself middle aged, I don't even look like I am out of my 20's.

I think middle aged should be somewhat defined by biological markers of decline, and somewhat defined by lifestyle. "middle aged" should be able to communicate useful information as a descriptor, so whatever that communicates to people should likely be some prerequisite to labeling someone that way.

#211 Neuron fail.

My brain is fried. Not entirely... but the chemo brain weirdness never properly went away. And just when I thought my brain cells might be getting their act together, the Tamoxifen knocked them on their arses again.

I'm not badly brain fucked. I just... don't have a working Mental To-Do-List like I should and like I used to. I've been told this is a bit like ADHD, but since I don't have ADHD I can't vouch for the accuracy of that. Idk.

Unless there's a reminder for me to do a task, or it's staring me in the face, then I totally fucking skip it. Until I see it again. Then I remember, put it on the top of my To-Do List to deal with as soon as I've finished my current task... and promptly fucking forget again. It's maddening.

Fuck a menstrual cycle… why do I have to live in a state of nonfunctional despair for like 20% of my life….

This is such a jacked-up thing, though. STIs can be a real problem in retirement communities and nursing homes because The Olds are like "No pregnancy risk means we can rawdog it! :D" and everyone who's like "Okay, we need some some sex ed and free condoms up in here." gets aggressively shouted down by people who'd rather clutch their pearls about old people banging than make sure they have the tools to be safe about it.

why do young people act so shocked about elderly people having sex. why does this shock you.

Effect Of Menopause On Varicose Veins

I've heard smoking can harm the effects of estrogen, does this apply to nicotine in general or just smoking?

thank you so much for asking this question, this is an extremely important matter to discuss! smoking while taking estrogen HRT is highly discouraged for 2 reasons.

the first is that smoking (nicotine) has been shown to completely neutralize and eliminate the effects of estradiol altogether:

nicotine reduces the amount of circulating estrogen one has in their system, which can lead to menopause in many individuals.

the second reason is that smoking nicotine can increase risk of life threatening clotting disorders like stroke, heart attack and pulmonary embolism:

many folks are not informed of the fact that estrogen hrt can cause increased risk for pulmonary embolism and heart complications- this is why it's vital to make sure you get testing done by a professional to make sure what levels will be safe for your body, or what complications you may face if you have blood clotting or heart issues.

i can't find too many studies that disseminate different types of tobacco usage (chew, vape, patches, etc.) but it does in fact seem like the nicotine itself, no matter how it's administered, greatly affects one's estrogen levels.

overall, i would say it would be best to completely quit using nicotine if you are planning going on estrogen HRT. not only will you see more of the effects you're looking for, but you'll feel better in general, and have a way reduced risk of stroke and heart attacks. there's little to no point in taking a medication that will become completely useless once administered. i had a problem with smoking cigarettes for a while and i wish you the best if you do, yourself.

i hope this information has been helpful, thanks for stopping by! good luck out there
