It’s not that she-

Hold on. He? They? Oh, pronouns are a nightmare; the Doctor should just come up with some new ones to use in… vir head.

Yeah, nice strident sound, V. Vey’ll keep it.

So, it’s not that vey mind the body or the face, really, but vey do miss some things. Especially that unshaven texture on vir jaw.

The TARDIS must know before vey do. She’s already got a dispenser ready, hormones and syringe and needle. Vey pet her console affectionately.

Been a while since vey’ve done this, but as vey steady the needle, it feels right.

i am very fond of the vang0 bang0 trans headcanon but u know what’s funnier??

him waking up in a warehouse and not remembering anything. except there are 2 big ass scars on his torso. and since he forgot abt pretty much the whole world, he also forgot about the concept of trans ppl (and like, gender in general, but this would be a complicated concept to really comprehend as fully socialized individuals bc gender is a very big part of society and we can’t just imagine living without the norms it created, ANYWAY). so he just thinks, 'yo, i got wounded pretty bad in the past lol'

and he learns how to live in society again and thinks he’s just like any other man. which he kinda is. he tells everyone he’s kind of a warrior bc of his scars and even though everyone knows they’re top surgery scars, they think he’s joking and never actually tell him off.

when he tries to find his past, he only finds traces of a woman who looks a lot like him. so he thinks it’s his twin sister, and when he tries to look for her, she hasn’t given any signs of life since a few years before he woke up in a warehouse. then, his theory is that she died in a fight with a gang or some sort of criminal organization, and that he got those scars by trying to defend her. it made him a bit sad, but he was glad his past self was brave enough to try and fight. he wished he was that brave now.

but everything stops when someone in the streets seems to recognize him and calls him by his deceased sister’s name. vang0 is about to ask them about her, and everything that has happened before the warehouse, but burger shoves a fist in their face before he can try. dapper is incredibly angry too, and it takes vang0 a few rounds of vehement insults before he starts to understand. he didn’t get the scars from a fight, at least not a physical one. and he never had a twin sister.

when he asks burger and dapper about it, they say they thought he knew he was trans and that asking him about it would be disrespectful.

Quick Tips for Injections

According to Stealth Bros & Co, provider of luxury medical storage options for transmasculine folks, “...going slow isn’t the answer [to a painless injection]. To reduce pain inject fast at a 90 degree angle for IM [injections] and a 45 degree angle for SubQ”

I like to say “quick jab ain’t that bad; slow poke ain’t a joke”

[theamphibianmen]

Man weekly intermuscular injections are WILD cause usually it's fine but then sometimes it feels like my thigh muscle is slowly ripping in half like a cold mozzarella cheese stick every time I bend my knee

Is one day of peace too much to ask for? All signs point to yes.

Hey, just a heads-up for anyone else using Androderm testosterone patches— both the Androderm 2mg and 4mg patches have been discontinued by the manufacturer and will no longer be available.

There isn't a generic version or another manufacturer who makes these (at least not here in the states), so if you've been using these patches, I'd strongly advise calling your HRT provider ASAP to discuss other treatment options. Testosterone gel still seemed to be available from most of the pharmacies I checked, so if you still want to use a non-injection method I'd recommend switching to that for now.

There doesn't seem to have been a recall of any existing patches from what I could find, so if you have some of yours left & haven't been having any issues with them, they should still be safe to use in the meantime.

This is probably old news by now, but I haven't seen a post about it anywhere & I only just found out today after making like 5 consecutive phonecalls trying to refill mine, so I figured I'd try to get the word out to others. 🙃 please reblog & boost so more people know!

DID I TELL YOU GUYS???

I talked to my doctor about sub-q injections for t and she sent in the request to the pharmacy and ofc they have to do a prior authorization but when my boyfriend went to the pharmacy for my other script, he came home with those meds and a bag FULL of needles.

no testosterone, just months worth of needles. what am i supposed to do with these needles? what if my insurance doesnt cover the testosterone? do i get to keep the needles or do i have to give them back? i have so many questions

[goblintendencies]

I just did my first at home T Shot!!! It was scary but im so proud of my self!!!!!! Im a bit worried I did it too low on my thigh, cuz I did my stomach when I did it at the doctor's, but this is all a learning experience and I'm happy it's finally happening :) :) :)

[elderscrolls4]

Damn i should really get back to doing my testosterone regularly
