Is the only option to travel/move to the other side of the world? I can't stand living like this and feel hopeless.

So after 2.3 years on hrt (cpa and estradot) I'm thinking the girls need a helping hand. I'm researching natural breast enlargement supplements. Looking at natureday etc. Has anyone had any success with any particular natural breast enlargement supplements? I'd be grateful if you could please share your experiences. ❤️

Hey, has anyone had top surgery with Dr Chris porter in Christchurch? I am looking into it but I can't find many examples of his work so if anyone feels ok about sharing pictures I would love that! Thank you and have a good night/day.

Hello, I’m interested in trying to do a more fem voice but self motivation options with YouTube haven’t really been happening so wondering if people have had good experiences with anyone?

Hi!
I have been on and off HRT for awhile (I am on it again and staying on it. Being indecisive was dumb) because, whilst I love most of the changes I get, my body reeeeally likes having tits when I myself wanna keep some androgyny. So! From the literature I have read Raloxifene seems like a good option and I want to try it for 3 months or so to see if it does anything.

But the major problem there is NZ doesn't supply it for NBs and I do not know what brands I should look for when getting it from HRTCafe etc. Another thing is the shipping cost to NZ sucks so if I invest in 3months worth I want to make sure I don't mess up,,

Does anyone have any recommendations brand wise or where to source it from? Any advise would be really appreciate! Thanks <3

About a month in to HRT now (DIY for 3 weeks and on prescription for a week).

I just feel so free, I’m me. I can cry, I can laugh, I can exist as I want to.

It’s been a mixed bag with family and friends finding out but I’m so fucking happy I’m willing to loose a few along the way. Like really really happy….. I’ve had depression and anxiety for most of my life but I feel like I have been cured overnight!

Am I crazy, is this placebo, or is this me for once?

Hi everyone I've been on sustanon 250 since June last year but have quite a bit of anxiety when it comes to doing my injections.

I've booked an appointment to change to gel but I have a few questions for anyone on gel.

Compared to injections is gel easier/more convenient?

I've heard you have to apply gel at the same time every day, is this true? And does it matter too much if it's a bit off from day to day?

Does hair growth increase in the area you apply it?

Any tips for starting gel?

Thanks guys!

Kia ora everybody, I'm a trans woman based in Wellington and I'm trying to find a good singing coach to up my game a bit before my band starts gigging. Has anyone here had any vocal coaching in Wellington and can recommend someone trans friendly? Ideally I'm looking for someone who can help me with feminizing techniques and strengthening my upper range.

Also I've heard there's a gender diverse discord floating about, so while I'm at it could someone please send me an invite if possible? Thanks

but I'm just sad it'll be on the one day three of my interests hold major events in Auckland 😭 (Miku concert, NJ Tamashii finals, Neopets 25th birthday party)

If anyone's going to those events I hope you enjoy them a lot!!!

from what I could find on te whatu ora and a couple other places on Google, the lakes district health doesn't fund gender affirming hysterectomys. But I saw my endocrinologist today and they currently do! I'm not sure how long the wait list will be, but I'm very happy and excited to now be on the list :]

So this post is just to let others in the lakes area know that it is available for us!

After my previous post I've decided that I am trans, and I want to start pursuing HRT, but I have no idea where to start. I have some questions that I would really appreciate getting answered:

Where can I go to seek HRT? Do I see a GP or clinic?

What should my expectations be for getting HRT sorted time wise? Will it take months or years?

Are there any online sites or resources I can look into in the meantime?

I also have access to my school's counsellors, but am not out to anyone yet. I'm 18, mtf.

How long do the bandages from straight after surgery stay on for? :)

After the crazy rain let the sun shine begin! I hope my beautiful trans brothers and sisters are having a wonderful long weekend. I decided to head out at 6am for a cycle. Making the most of the beaut weather. Have fun!

Hi everyone, I'm Junta (ftm, he/him), an international student going to University of Otago next year for a degree in Dunedin!

I'm a little worried about T-shots as I have no idea where to get them etc and I would love some advice on places I can go as an international student to continue to get healthcare, what documents do I need to provide etc.

I am aware that I'll need a document from my currently endocrinologist, which I will be able to obtain along with the dosage.

Picture is not mine, just for reference of what brand and dosage I use.

Any advice is very appreciated, thank you!

I'm not sure why I'm writing this, or even why I'm doing so on this subreddit in particular. For context, I'm 31 MTF and 4 weeks ago my partner (31 NB) of 7 years passed away.

Since losing my partner I've just felt so lost. I feel like I've just been on auto-pilot since and I don't really have any motivation to do anything. I've been trying to force myself to do things like programming and playing MTG in local game stores, and for short burst of time I do enjoy myself. But then it all just comes crashing down afterwards. It all just feel meaningless.

I used to live with them, but now I live alone and it's been hard. I've had amazing support from my family and friends, and I know they are always there to talk to when I need it, but it doesn't make the pain and the loneliness go away. I just miss my partner so much.

I used to suffer quite badly from depression (I still do to some degree), but this feeling is really different. I don't feel depressed, but I am always sad. I just don't know what to do with myself. I know this will take time, and I will be ok in the end, but right now I'm so lost.

I've had thoughts every now and again about wanting a new partner so I don't feel so lonely, and I feel so guilty for having these thoughts. I know I'm not ready yet. I know in my current state I'd be a terrible partner. I know I would just being wanting someone to be a replacement and that wouldn't be fair to either of us.

I'm currently unemployed and don't have much money. My parents have helped look after me financially though, so I'll be ok in that regard. I want to find a job, but I don't think I'm capable of holding one down at the moment. I had to leave my previous job because of depression. I don't have that much hope though, as I've had no luck in the application process over the last 2 years or so (I've been looking on and off). I'll probably put the job search off until the new year now though. I don't even know why I'm bringing this up.

I'm not looking for advice or anything. I just wanted to vent into the void I guess. Writing this was quite emotional so I'm crying right now. I think I need to go to bed.
Thanks for reading.

I pass well and the world just sees me as a woman, so needless to say I wouldn’t survive in a male prison.

Hi do you like it

Heya

Just a reminder that it's happening. Good place to feel cozy with a lot of rainbow folks around. I am going tonight, always love seeing just how many of us are out there. Have fun!

Heard there was a discord, but asking through the modmail hasn't gotten me anywhere. Anyone know how to get an invite? Feels like an easier way to get answers than waiting for comments on posts.

Hey everyone! My name is Lee ans I’m a FTM, I live in England but I have a New Zealand passport and I was with gender GP which wasn’t the best in the UK but I know that it’s a highly used service, as I have a New Zealand passport and I am moving back to New Zealand for over three months if I went to my GP, would I be eligible for anything? T ect ? Or if anyone has any advice on what it’s like to be trans there, as I haven’t been back since since transitioning. Feel free to message me or put on the chat

🙌🧡🙌

I've been on 4mg estradiol per day for 6 weeks and my nipple area is really sensitive when I press inward, like it would if I had a big bruise somewhere. Is this expected? It's on both sides

Hi, Trans fem from Wellington here (pre-hrt)!! I was getting myself ready to go on hrt and I had probably one last GP appointment to go but when I got there over a week ago it was a different GP to who I last was with, he was new and seemed really confused about everything. He did a few basic tests and got me to get blood tests (instructed by previous GP) and said he'd refer me to an endocrinologist but I haven't heard anything back yet? Is this a normal wait time or am I just being anxious? Sorry and thank you to anyone who responds!!! 🙏🙏

Kia ora 👋👋 I’m looking to get a haircut since I haven’t had one in 2 years!!!! Does anyone know of any trans friendly hairdressers in Wellington? (Preferably cbd or the hutt valley) Ngā mihi 😊

Edit: thank you all so much for the recommendations! I’ve booked an appointment for Friday! Two years in the making lmao

I see trans people in public almost daily now. I know it sounds odd but I just feel such pride and solidarity when I see my beautiful trans brothers and sisters out there.

Hi, Anyone know a good source to access pure progesterone? I am not a Transgender person and sorry for using this sub, I'm just desperate to get some (health reasons). I didn't know where else I could ask except for people using HRT in menopause. . .

hey all! i’m a ftm guy (21) and have been on hrt for just over a year and was wondering how to go about getting top surgery through public health?

if anyone has any experience with it please do let me know!

Hey :).

I have just been prescribed HRT via my GP, i'm on a starting dose of Estradot patches (25mcg) twice weekly and 25mg cypro daily.

Does this seem like a low dosage?

The issue is i have been doing DIY with 25mg cypro and 2mg daily progynova for a while as i was working through the process to get prescription access.

Is this a fairly big dosage drop?

Cant find anyone to do it here gonna not bother. Not overly hairy type person so winging it. Only 10 weeks to go so that only be 2 electrolysis sessions anyways. Hairs are all blonde laser not an option.
