I actually want to go to this and cheer on all the girls. It's such a cool phenomena where they all go fully and unironically girl to make sure the army knows they're not suitable, it's girlmoding like your life depends on it because it kinda does.
>Remember that anything less than HRT over the counter is abuse
Yeah this. It really upsets me that we're debating bathrooms AGAIN but nobody ever wants to talk about OTC estrogen.

You should see the video, one gay guy is just praying to God the navy will take him.
Thailand has strange rules, they cant change documents, but are actually seen as women. The whole "im a ladyboy" is for forang, so they dont get killed or beaten. They absolutely do see themselves as women.
t. i go to thailand every 6 months and speak to everyone there

Kinda funny how anons here are like "i cant go to the supermarket in girl mode" but then these princesses are turning up for conscription in a high slit dress and heels because they're bad bitches.
Hrt is so important, i get angry when i hear my fellow citizen shit talk DIY, imagine giving up the chance to be happy because a pervert doctor says no

But they just make them go to the draft? It is evil! Any country that makes trans women go to the draft can get fucked imo

Yeah it's become a ritual. Thailand has an annual draft day, so all the trannies at that age show up, get their shit stamped whatever the Thai equivalent of 4F is, flirt with all the army guys and then go party.
It's the coolest thing, I really want to go.
>>

>>43261155
Yeah but they never do. Unless you're clearly just a guy who put on a dress for the first time that day just to dodge the draft it's all just a big show.
It's not like a tranny can pass a physical anyway.
>>
>>43261142
I agree
>transgender women are legally prohibited from serving in the Thai military and are instead required to appear at the annual conscription lottery to claim an exemption.
>Although they cannot serve, transgender women must attend the draft center in person to present medical documentation, such as a gender reassignment certificate or proof of surgery, to prove their eligibility for exemption. Failure to appear can result in legal penalties, including potential imprisonment, while those without proper documentation risk being forced to serve if they draw a red card in the lottery.
>Exemption Criteria: Individuals are exempt if they possess a gender recognition certificate or relevant medical documents proving they have undergone gender reassignment surgery, hormone therapy, or breast augmentation.
The Process: Trans women are classified as "Category 2" (gender identity mismatch) and must undergo medical examinations to prove their identity, a process that activists describe as stressful and stigmatizing.
>Consequences: If a transgender woman fails to present the necessary paperwork or is not exempted, she is subject to the same two-year compulsory service as cisgender men, which has been linked to increased mental health risks and suicide rates within the community.

>>43261194
>The medical examination process for transgender women in Thailand is extremely stressful, widely described as a "nightmare" by activists and participants.
Key sources of stress include:
>Fear of Humiliation: Trans women report intense anxiety about being "undressed, stared at, or humiliated in public" during examinations.
>Mental Health Crisis: The stress is so severe that it has been linked to increased suicide rates within the transgender community around draft time. Activists report some would "rather take their lives" than face the draft.
>Invasive and Arduous Procedures: Those who haven't undergone surgery may face long, embarrassing medical exams and mental health tests, including a psychological evaluation with up to 800 questions, to "prove" their gender identity.
Stigmatizing Diagnosis: The exemption process often requires a diagnosis of "Gender Identity Disorder," which many activists find stigmatizing and outdated.
>Media Ridicule: The presence of transgender women is often sensationalized and mocked by the media, adding to the emotional burden.
Even with proper documentation, the requirement to attend in person and undergo this process is a significant source of psychological and emotional distress.

In England, you simply would not be able or allowed to dodge the draft on the basis of being a troon, if they had a draft. Not least because you can't actually get diagnosed or strogged before like age 22 at this point, so draftees at 18 couldn't possibly get an exemption.

The best AA is having no testicles.
Get injections and run high doses. Your doctor doesnt know shit. High doses. Not hon doses.
And one more thing anon. Try not to compare yourself too much to others, it isnt good for you.

We no longer legally exist. On paper we're still in the Equality Act, but in practice any employer, gym, sauna, sports team can tell us to fuck off. The UK has successfully marginalised us, and whilst one or two of us slip through the cracks, we are mostly doomed.
I almost want there to be a draft because this country is pure evil
>>

>>43263970
On reflection here's how it would work: Labour would insert an exemption for trans women, pat themselves on the back about it, introduce a draft at age 18, and maintain the total impossibility of being diagnosed by age 18. That way they can tell themselves they're good people while drafting every tranny.
Later, Reform would remove the exemption and Labour would say they're not going to waste political capital on reinstating it while the NHS remains underfunded.
>>
>>43264064
That sounds plausible. And very on board for Labour
They send all mtf's to male prison but theres an exemption clause. A minister has to agree to send someone to a female prison. Guess how many times that exemption has been enacted, 0
>>

>>43264138
Right, exactly. This is their standard MO: they make tranny life impossible for the chud vote, but they also add some absolutely toothless rule that can't come into effect so they can tell the bleeding heart middle class "left" that they're good people. The symbol politics is all the sentimentalists want so they keep voting Labour while saying they'll vote Green (but then on poll day, "oh everyone knows the Greens can't win, I'd be throwing my vote to the Tories, I'm in a Lib/Lab split seat anyway so I have to vote Labour").

I support over the counter estrogen and many others.
Its such a hard substance to abuse desu.
What are the effects? Impotence, weaker muscle and breast? Naaah, we can't let these violent criminals get their hands on this!!
My argument is basically that there is already 0 reason for anyone who is not a tranny to abuse readily available estrogen as it has no effects in which the average male would be interested in.
The gatekeeping is pointless.
Do you think OTC estro.will ever actually be a thing?

Not in the UK, nordic countries or anywhere authoritarian. Its easy to create a moral panic over and a lot of the population enjoy being slaves, they enjoy being told what they can and cannot do

You don't get actually any more feminization from higher doses. Just bloated body, dry skin and flappy looks.
Women in their late 20s have naturally higher estrogen than teen girls but who looks more feminine? Also pregnancy and birth control raise estrogen levels but it does not make women look more feminine.
You just give yourself the hormonal profile of a woman on birthcontrol for no fucking reason.
Women look like women because of low testosterone plus normal amount of e.

Is it because all trans women in prison there are people with penises? If you had a vagina you would be in female prison cause having srs makes you a female

No. Even if you have had srs you get put in the main population
If you have srs and a GRC then you can appeal for solitary confinement

oral estrogen produces 10x more e1 than e2, fucks with your GH vs IGF synthesis, and cannot give reliable, effective levels, so yeah ditch oral.
go get EC or EEn. take 3mg a week intramuscularly as your starting dose. get bloods a couple months in. if your T is in female ranges then stay there. if not, up it to 4mg. do IM, not subq. nobody quite knows why but subq is a little weird in some people compared to IM. get your buds fully developed then start looking at prog. you only need 6-12 months on injection mono before prog becomes viable. prog goes up your butt or in via an IM injection every 3 days. you do 1-2 weeks on prog a month.
if you want curves, start taking pioglitazone with your prog. 30mg is the correct dose. dont take it for more than a year, and eat a fat rich, low sugar diet on it.
if you want big boobs, look into clobetasol. you use it in conjunction with pio, and is not for people unwilling to read on stuff. it causes rapid rounding of breasts, and also induces growth cycles. if youre stuck at fatty bud stages, this seems to make your boobs consume the whole of your fat pad in a very short span of time.
if you want inviting to a server with a decent bit of info on pio and clobetasol lemme know.

you actual fucking moron, do you want long term desensitization? reduced receptor density? reduced transcription? SHBG out the ass? no LH at all? yes please give me reduced neurosteroid production i want to get dumber.

Think it's changed in the last few years but traditionally Thai ladyboys pretty much only used pills, usually OTC birth control and cypro. They almost always start in their teens and sometimes even before puberty.

testosterone gel has legitimate but niche uses. you dont know what hondosing is. kindly learn something before opening your mouth. you do not need troughs that bottom out at a the 99th percentile cis womans cycle peak, and if you think youre benefiting from running that long term youre an idiot who doesnt understand the basics of hormone therapy.

NTA but I thought the whole dispute was whether you needed less than perfect suppression (combined with a strong anti-androgen) to maintain some circulating gonadotripins, to which at least breast tissue is known to respond.
It's not a proven theory by any stretch of the imagination but I know a lot of people who went straight to injection monotherapy who have no boob to speak of years later.

>>43273685
There's some thought that T aromatizing into E locally in tissue is better than free E (and that free T being picked up by SHBG instead of SHBG picking up E means more estrogenic activity).
LH also provides a unique form of breast growth. I've definitely considered it and I might need to take Bica anyways for other reasons before an orchi.

>>43273706
Because im sick of lies from mumsnetters on this board. Mtfs need to run estrogen levels higher than cis women, because the process of feminisation is an uphill battle for most of us.
Stop encouraging hon dosing
>>
>>43273685
Its a crackpot theory that relies on an AA sufficently suppressing elevated testosterone.
The pituary gland and adrenal glands produce sufficient testosterone, there is 0 need to have your testicles functional in any way.
Boob growth is genetic and individual. Progesterone before 36 months is unwise, as it limits growth, so the cases you are referring to are often those who misused Progesterone.

A lot of feminization is actually from T suppression. Too much E up front can also supposedly nuke stuff like hip growth, especially for youngshits.
Mild E at the start + T blockers (not GnRH meds!) seems to be the best route, then ramping up e later.

>>43273778
>A lot of feminization is actually from T suppression.
Demonstrably untrue. The absence of testosterone does not result in feminisation.
Lets say a cis man has a orchirectomy. So they become a passoid mtf after one year? No. They experience osteoporosis, night sweats, hot flashes. His skin doesnt become softer, his fat distribution doesnt follow a feminine pattern.
Take a middle aged cis woman that is going through the menopause. Her feminine fat distribution changes into a general fat distribution. Female pattern baldness can emerge. The skin loses collagen, loses the soft smooth texture that defines high estrogen levels.
Whoever has told you that the absence of testoerone is sufficient for feminisation has lied to you

It's not the same and a lot of people do think trans women are women but not barely any people think women should have to go in the draft because that's just literally insane

>>43261066
>But they just make them go to the draft?
its to stop regular guys just saying "nah i'm trans cant do it" over the phone. Trans girls are exempt but need to show up in person to like prove its legit and not just draft dodging.
