how is that different from just taking less T

Had a weird dream last night. Nothing special at first, but I woke up in the middle of the night absolutely furious—like, really angry. It felt so real that I almost started ranting about the situation from the dream right there and then.
Normally, I wake up from dreams knowing it was just a dream and shrug it off. Not this time. This one hit differently. It was so intense I had to play an audiobook just to calm down and fall back asleep.
When I woke up again later, I couldn’t even remember what had made me so angry. I just knew the feeling had been very real. To make sure the whole situation wasn’t part of the dream itself, I checked my phone—and yep, the audiobook had been playing. So, the anger was real... and obviously, the audiobook too. 😅
Maybe it’s a side effect of the E? I recently increased from 2mg to 3mg a few weeks ago. Maybe that change tipped things over when it comes to dreaming. No idea, but it was definitely strange.

tbh, I want to start HRT to deepen my voice permanently. A few months in total to avoid other changes. But it's like £115 or something? That's for 178 g. At 1.25 g per pump, microdosing 1 pump per day, 178 grams / 1.25 grams per day = 142.4 days' worth. ("A".) [142 days / 7 days per week = 20.286 weeks. ("B".) 20 weeks / (13/3) = 20 / 4.333 = 4.616, about 4.5 months. ("C".) ] Daily price is £115 / 142 days = £0.81 or 81 pence per day. ("D".) The monthly price is £0.81 * 30 days = £24.30 pcm. ("E".) Is2g I meant to begpost / mutual aid but I just AutInfoDumped math at you. anyway here's wonder w-- liberapay https://liberapay.com/MxVerda/donate Ko-Fi https://ko-fi.com/mxverda and uhhhh.... I will get bACK to u!

"Whom you want to be - Lyrics or poem
All I want from you:
Be more of yourself and choose
whom you want to be.
No one else will feel your feelings.
No one else can cry your tears.
No one else may think your viewpoints.
No one else should stoke your fears.
Trans people exist?
Hello, I'm one!
Nonbinary just means "person".
What a kind idea we won.
Is it nice to meet you?
I'm not really sure.
Had you considered being trans, too?
Did I ever know you, anymore?
To be real is not to repeat
the last thing you have read.
To be "biased" means
you've opinions in your head.
I can no longer make myself care.
Maybe if you loved yourself more,
while you will not see me there,
you'd have more chance to tone down the scorn.
Do I deserve to have kids?
What if I turn into you?
Oh, dear god(s), no! I can't risk that.
The core idea rips me in two.
I love them too much in advance
to avoid asking of ourselves:
"May we bring into existence
people whose time may never tell?"
How do I avoid that?
I'm terrified to be you.
A child is not a cat,
but fully-formed human, new.
All I want from you:
Be more of yourself and choose
whom you want to be.
Ban fossil lobbying; and act!
Long-term, more extreme weather?
Climate change patterns collapse.
We've plenty solutions clever.
Problems from hierarchy
ingress beneath our skin.
Set aside your worries;
Become your strength within.
You cannot redo high school.
Become yourself, a real adult.
What can you do; who are you?
Feel emotions, more than sulk.
HRT may have advantages
for who you want to be.
Think past the many challenges.
Imagine yourself free. "

"Whom you want to be - Lyrics or poem
How do I avoid that?
I'm terrified to be you.
A child is not a cat,
but fully-formed human, new.
I know some of what you've been through.
Beyond any kid's breaking point,
No one should ever have had to
in that hell themselves annoint.
Why carry it forward though?
Your life will never heal this way.
What more pain are we all owed?
Self-respect, you can replace.
Self-respect, you may replace.
Self-love, please seek, "Your Grace".
All I want from you:
Be more of yourself and choose
whom you want to be.
No one else will feel your feelings.
No one else can cry your tears.
No one else may think your viewpoints.
No one else should stoke your fears.

Is it nice to meet you?
I'm not really sure.
Had you considered being trans, too?
Did I ever know you, anymore?
To be real is not to repeat
the last thing you just read.
To be "biased" means
you've an opinion in your head.
You're allowed to disagree with me,
on things outside of human rights.
Otherwise which mom used to teach
fairness, about which we now fight?
All I want from you:
Be more of yourself and choose
whom you want to be.
I'll be honest: I gave up on you.
I can't stand you in my life.
"Your" "mini-me" was never "You ver. 2".
You do not deserve my time.
My pronouns are vey, vem, ver.
I wish you saw me as a person.
(Quite simple to make them square.)
Without help, you'll only worsen.
You deserve forgiveness,
as all do, but not from me.
No risk from counselling,
or not necessarily.
There is no way around it.
Other parents I've found;
these other people love me,
if I am, or not, around.
Why couldn't you do the same?
Was being separate truly hard?
You said you valued my brain.
Why force me constantly on guard?
All I want from you:
Be more of yourself and choose
whom you want to be.
No one else supports your comments.
Everyone I asked has been confused.
"That's weird. Are you okay? Honest?"
"Did she tell you how not to use boobs?"
"When she said 'What happens here, stays'?"
"Who says that to a child?"
Did you think I would organ-replace
to extend your time a while?
I can no longer make myself care.
Maybe if you loved yourself more,
while you will not see me there,
you'd have more chance to tone down the scorn.
Do I deserve to have kids?
What if I turn into you?
Oh, dear god(s), no! I can't risk that.
The core idea rips me in two.
I love them too much in advance
to avoid asking of ourselves:
"May we bring into existence
people whose time may never tell?"

Anyone got experience with https://www.edennew.life/ ?
I was gonna go with them, but then realised my gut was saying no for all the AI stuff on their website.
(But then they sent a marketing e-mail about how they'd tried it but don't find LLM tools to be that helpful?)

Don't feel like a man or woman? Feel like... just a person?
Questioning and just want some space? Or do you feel distinctly ungenderable today?
Support Ryan in their legal case for the UK Government to stop assigning genders to people who aren't into it! Let us correct the gd paperwork already.
Yes, I'm kink-shaming policy right now! Treat people like people, gdi.
It's nice to just exist as an individual person.
I'll wander around, do daily tasks, or fill forms that affirm my right to live life -- wildly enough! -- left tf alone.
I don't think a train company really gives a crap if I wear a dress or a cravat.
Just... having a grand old time, existing in a way that is apparently queer: 'as an human'. That's it.
I don't think marketing teams shit themselves over an 'X', 'I', or 'U' outside the two letters you were told to assume were possible.
Oh yeah, and intersex people exist too. Some are cis.
Donate if you can! Share either way! Thank you! aaaaaaaa!
