What do you know about ovarian cancer? Did you know that even after having a hysterectomy and removal of your ovaries, the risk of ovarian cancer is not completely eliminated?

Years ago when I was working on my coming-out and the idea of transitioning I was using art to sort of figure things out and I came up with the "Easter Buddy".
I think that's kind of how I was hoping to look like as a trans guy.

@thejessiekirk It's not always the case with injections: just the ones that trans masc folk in the UK tend to be given.
The 2 most-commonly-prescribed injections are:
Both are compounded at 250 mg/mL, but they're quite different otherwise in terms of chemical make-up, viscosity, and volume.
Sustanon is a 1 mL injection mix of refined arachis oil (peanut oil) and benzyl alcohol, containing:
It is typically administered every 2-4 weeks.
Nebido, conversely, is a 4 mL injection containing 1000 mg testosterone undecanoate, suspended in a mixture of refined castor oil and benzyl benzoate. It's typically administered every 10-12 weeks.
The main difference between these, other than the different esters of testosterone, is the viscosity of the carrier oil used.
Figures vary and there's no universal unit used for viscosity, but in all of these, castor oil is significantly more viscous than peanut oil, or MCT oil (which is commonly used in the DIY / homebrew community).
Don't know if this'll help or not, but we thought you might find it interesting
Men worry a lot about #testosterone levels. That concern is leveraged in marketing tactics for testosterone replacement therapy, which in the US is available by prescription only. The result: Guys who don't need it can easily get it, and the dosages prescribed are often too high, set by doctors that may have received little to no actual training in the matter, explains the writer, Dr. Julian Barkan
Long story short there's a possibility that I end up in #Malaysia in a couple of years.
My problem:
Can I get testosterone and even maybe #trans care at a private clinic?
I know public hospitals are out of the question.
Also I haven't legally changed my gender so I don't know if "as a woman" I can get #testosterone for "menopause issues"?
Boost won't change your life but it will help mine and in a world full of transphobes it does make a difference.
If you’re a #transgender #ftm or #nonbinary using #testosterone or a #cis #male on T, make sure you’re boycotting #padagis it’s an #israeli brand of T.

Hello #trans Mastodon - does anyone have information on how an immigrant, or long-term work visitor to Germany can get testosterone and other routine transmasc care while there? They'd be coming from the United States and working in a PhD program at university. North Germany, if it matters!
I'm going to assume they have familiarity with the language, if your resources are in German. Thank you.
Andropause (also known as male menopause ) is something I was vaguely aware of... But the more I read about it, the more I realize just how under-discussed it is as a topic despite how much it affects the quality of life (and #health) of men.
Make sure to do regular blood works and check your #testosterone levels.

We've been hearing an increasing number of reports of trans people's GPs refusing to prescribe their HRT to them - even if they have a letter from an NHS gender clinic requesting that they do.
