This is the story that got the Aydian Dowling celebrity started. Hopefully, he doesn't get a big head from all of this.

I'd love to see how people reacted to him, if he ever walked into a women's bathroom, here in Florida!

I am glad to see some massive positive posts about trans folks!
I wish there were more positive lately then negative to read about.

Fantastic -- back in the day, I had an appointment to West Point. I blew it off, much to my dad's chagrin, because I couldn't stand being in those clothes, as a woman ... seems so silly now. Nobody ever said 17 was a smart age.

Penis transplant
This is the first time I have seen a penis transplant research team mention the potential for FTM patients.
http://www.smithsonianmag.com/scienc...nor-180954639/ I personally can't see myself doing this, but I thought others might find it interesting.

Document Change
In Australia each State seems to have differing laws concerning name change, gender etc.
In Western Australia you cant legaly change from M2F without undergoing SrS, however i was given an exemption due to medical issues, i can also tick 'other' or have Intersex registered on some forms, documents etc. Its a bit complicated and annoying, but Australia never seems to take a step forward in anything, just 3 steps backwards... |

Testosterone Shot Risks
A study finds links to strokes, acute coronary syndromes, hospitalization, and death from short-acting testosterone injections. I'm curious; have those that take T injections been given the option of gel or patches? This study says that those that used gels or patches didn't have these elevated risks. |

Thanks for the response! I'm not aware of how many brands there are of injectable T but they specifically mentioned Bolus.

The main risk of long term injectable T is developing polycythemia, which is a high increase of red blood cells. It can lead to clots which can cause the strokes and coronary syndromes you mentioned. It's usually treated by taking one baby aspirin per day and quitting smoking, if you smoke. |

As an aside, you have been doing IM for all 12 years, I assume? Have you considered trying out sub-q? I can't imagine doing IM. I am glad sub-q was available when I started.

I was off of T for one of those years due to medical reasons not related to being on T or being trans. I did try sub-q a few times but my moods seemed to shift. I went back to IM and no more mood shifts. I assume that's because the dosage for IM vs SQ are different and mine wasn't adjusted correctly. |

Sub-q is started to gain some acceptance and validity in the U.S. Like other new medical approaches it started in the urban areas (due being close to research hospitals and such)and slowly moving out. This is what I do. Weekly shot into the fat. Painless (pretty much...it is like giving yourself insulin, I suspect). I know of only one guy that is on the patches. He is in Europe. Europe's most common testosterone method is undecanoate (less shots, longer acting). I personally wouldn't even consider being open to doing that until at least a year of being on a consistent dose. I snagged this dosing schedule for undecanoate off this site DOSING: Males over 18 years of age: The recommended dose of testosterone undecanoate is 750 mg (3 ml) intramuscularly; followed by 750 mg (3 ml) intramuscularly after 4 weeks, then 750 mg (3 ml) intramuscularly every 10 weeks thereafter. Even if I had been taking the same dose for a long period of time, I would hesitate on signing up for an injection of a medicine that I could have problems with taking...but I would have to wait to get rid of it? 10 weeks? All just for convenience? No thanks. I worry about this being prescribed for early transitioners. Everyones response to T is different. One guy may need half the dose tht the other guy needs. It take some to figure it all out. I have read cases of a guy having his first injection and then a week later going onto nebido. I would they would at least wait to change after his blook work (at 3 months), to tell you if his levels are in the right place. Anyway, I am dozzing off here, actually even closing my eyes while I am typing. ha. night.

I've been injecting T intramuscularly for 16 years now, (.5cc weekly) without any problems...knock on wood. I admittedly take it less often now, no special reason other than I sometimes simply forget about taking it until I realize I am long overdue. At this point I doubt I would consider switching things up and trying the sub-q route, as interesting as it sounds, simply because why fix what's not broken? The intramuscular method has worked well for me.
I am interested in hearing from guys who do try the sub-q, and of their personal experiences using that method of injection.

I like the small needles, and hardly feel the needle going in. However, like I said in my other post, I have never tried IM. You may enjoy this article: http://transguys.com/ref/research/su...ous-injections
