Ok dad jeeze.
Don’t forget to drink lots of water!
What a hydro homie!
But that’s where I find all the fun pharmaceuticals.
Yeah some girls offered to help shoot me up with e outside the gay bar. It’d be rude to refuse
I mean… Recoiling in horror sounds a little bit like Woman Bad tm had something to do with it.
Being gender curious (or having Gender Imposter Syndrome) is a sign you’re not entirely 100% SuperCis, but people’s emotional reactions be complicated yo
Edit: As others said, there’s also the “take unverifiable drugs from someone (friend or not) in a bar setting”. And the “the post uses hyperbole for effect because memes”.
Complicated indeed…
Well yeah fair enough. I posted this because I read it as hyperbole but I could be wrong. I just felt like this kind of represented the idea that the act of questioning your identity isn’t an indicator of your “actual” identity. It just shows that you’re open to understanding yourself better.
If I were better with words I could explain my thought process better but the best I can do is communicate in memes.
Yeah there’s more to it. I’m just a random cis guy who came across this post on his feed. I’m definitely not an egg, but no way I’d react like that. I’d probably be bewildered that someone would offer me their medicine, but a severe reaction like that sounds very weird.
Will one pill by itself do anything? I thought it was more of a prolonged course of treatment.
I took one pill and my dick propelled off. It just flew off got damnit. I still miss it.
It depends.
Yeah, you won’t get any sort of externally visible changes from a single dose, but for some trans people that first dose can still be a life-changing experience.
They don’t warn you about it in the informed consent documentation, but for me that first day on HRT brought on an almost overwhelming feeling of gender euphoria. It was like a part of myself that had been missing since puberty finally fell into place. The weight of 25 years of repressed dysphoria fell from my shoulders and I couldn’t stop smiling, couldn’t even walk across a room without breaking into a little dance.
It took the better part of a week to start seeing some physical changes, and that was mostly in skin texture.
I tried to stay away from hrt but oof you’re making it hard… That sounds amazing.
Sounds like the euphoria could also be from feeling relief that you finally have access to it?
that’s definitely part of it, but sex hormones interact with* neurotransmitters and the mental/emotional stuff tends to hit first, before any physical effects take place.
Not countering what you experienced, but sex hormones are not neurotransmitters. There may be some interactions with the neurotransmitter system but it they are not themselves.
yep, that’s more accurate ty!
I think it’s important to understand that gender identity isn’t so binary and is much more complicated than you are or you aren’t.
I think the recoiling in horror is a bit extreme but I can definitely feel uneasy to be offered random drugs in a pub.
