Ask a trans person!

J. Mason · 10-20-2011, 12:33 AM

I am dating a femme who ID's as lesbian and some friends and others have come to her voicing their opinions about the fact she is dating me. They ask why would a lesbian date a transman? Has anyone else encountered this and what did ya'll do about it?

I didn't do anything about it; it was her situation to handle.

I realize that sounds a bit insensitive and I don't mean it to come across that way, but that really is the bottom line for me.

I'm assuming these people are *her* friends and acquaintances and that she would know better how to deal with them and their "concerns".

Been there. I agree with Thinker that it is her situation to deal with since they're her friends... however, my .02 on that way of thinking.... we don't necessarily choose who to be attracted to or who we fall in love with. She's likely not dating you based on what you are as much as WHO you are...

Thanks for the response guys, sorry I was away with family and no computer access!

I am gonna let her handle this matter, she is a strong woman and I believe she can do it gracefully!

Hey guys,

I have been with Stroheckers for about 5 years now. First with IM and starting in 2009 cream. The first few times I ordered from them, I got 3 months or 90 grams and following the directions of 1/4 tsp. After a few months I got a shipment in that was only one jar instead of two. I called and talked to Brett, who is now no longer there and he said they started shipping out only 2 months because everyone was complaining that there is too much meds. I thought it was fishy but just went along with it thinking they were ploying for more money.

With the new laws on meds in FL, I now have to see the doc every time I need a refill so I asked her to be sure to send in a script for 3 months, not the two they have been sending. When I got it in, it was the same amount and when I called Strocheckers, they said that they have not changed anything and that it was the same three month supply that I have been getting.

They gave me dates where the first 3 orders were 3 months apart and then it went to two, but there is no record of me calling in and now they are saying it is my fault. I am having issues with them and my doc now. I have a 1/4 tsp measuring spoon to be sure I am using the correct amount.

I am curious if anyone else is having issues with Strocheckers? Is anyone else on the cream and did the amount go down? Any input would be appreciated.

Sorry I have never gotten my creme through them and have always had good experiences with them. However i do tend to use less of mine then prescribed so mine is always lasting way past the time to renew.

Thanks man. Yeah until now I ahve had great experiences. Not sure whats going on.

I don't use the cream, but I do get my prescription through them as well. I haven't been using them that long, and have only had to refill once in the time I have been on T and for the most part, they have been good. The only issue I have had with them is when it came time for my refill they only sent me needles for injecting, not for drawing the T into the syringe. They promptly sent me more, which was great, and I have not otherwise had any issues. For me, with my current dosing level mine easily lasts for 3 months.

I wouldn't mind going with a local company, but honestly so far, this has worked for me, and its not too expensive either.
