    Yeah, in my little experience basically all of the effects of hormones are “in general” at best, both in timeline and actual effects.

    Personally my libido went up a little but unlike OOP it was very much present before too.

    Meanwhile the skin softening stuff took a week or so to be noticeable, when it definitely “should” take longer.



  • Well, in the first bit of the Hitchhiker’s guide, there’s:

    “You’d better be prepared for the jump into hyperspace. It’s unpleasantly like being drunk.”

    “What’s so unpleasant about being drunk?”

    “You ask a glass of water.”

    Which does fit, even if it’s not necessarily a “well-known phrase”












  • I feel like you’re coming at this pretty aggressively. I don’t feel like getting into a fight, but I’ll reply once:

    I don’t like Bluesky. I find its culture very US centric, depressing, and frustrating. However, I also find it is technically better than any activitypub software I’ve used, and protocol-wise, much better specified.

    It also has >30 million users, and is much more prominent culturally.

    Lemmy and the microblogging activitypub software are more pleasant to use, but definitely rougher around the edges.



  • The other comments are roughly correct in general, but the current drama is because a couple people said “Bluesky is dying” because the number of unique users that liked a post over the past 3 months has gone down (that’s the Number that went down), and then a bunch of people got mad at those people because that’s a single very specific measure and Bluesky is objectively doing very well and anyway they’d still use it if it wasn’t popular etc etc.

    Regular internet drama, basically.



  • I’m on a really low dosage of spiro (25mg/day), so that might be why I haven’t felt it as badly.

    But yeah, that’s basically what I did. My doctor is actually pretty okay (didn’t mind that I didn’t have the psychiatric diagnosis that you’re “supposed” to have (not a legal requirement)), but she definitely did underdose me, and I am awful at making appointments, so I’ve just increased my own dosage of E in line with what’s actually a reasonable amount.



  • Oh, I can confirm this! I went from skipping lunch almost every day to essentially never completely full. And if I skip a meal I become basically useless. It’s great!

    Also congrats on already feeling weight after 23 days! My own started aching pretty much immediately (hurt for a few days), but it’s gotten more annoying recently and I can actually feel/see 'em now (I hit 100 days exactly today actually!)

    How do you feel? Did you already get the skin smoothing? That was the biggest QoL change for me
