Bottom surgery done the correct way >>> penis cut off.

(I wish they’d let me get it 😭, well at least mine is much smaller than it was before I started estrogen)

Well you have to look to a source to buy Estrogen and blockers grey-market, can be hard since it’s… well it’s a grey area. There’s more to it than that but that’s the hard part.

Pirated it (did DIY HRT)

It’s a meme about gender identity using techy terms in different ways to describe how a person realized they were trans (or I guess that they aren’t trans). Basically it’s humor, it’s also a shitpost.

I’ve been trying for years, and while it does sound different than before I know it will probably never pass. Many people have said it does to be nice, and while I appreciate them trying to make me feel better, passing or not passing is a serious problem for me. I did use voice test apps, and sent samples of my “fem voice” to voice training communities without telling them my gender first and they said it sounded masculine. Plus I can’t do the different voice too long before I get tired but if I don’t even pass with it, what’s the point?

It was actually estrogen, but yeah basically.

I tried and no matter how hard I try my voice doesn’t pass as fem. Some people say it does trying to be nice but when I showed samples to some voice training communities without telling them my gender, just asking if it sounds masc or fem they confirmed my suspicions, voice training apps also confirm my voice is still well within the masc range. It’s tiring to keep trying and if my voice doesn’t pass unless people are being nice I don’t see the point, still makes me feel bad though 😭

I’m mostly okay now, but I wish my voice was more fem. It’s very deep and that sucks. I know I’ll need voice surgery, voice training hasn’t helped ☹️

Indeed it is, this person obviously had problems around their penis, personally I think it could’ve been gender dysphoria but it could’ve also been sexual trauma. Either way, shrooms alone aren’t going to make you want to cut your dick off. Gender dysphoria absolutely can and sometimes does make you feel that way though, take my word for it, dysphoria is no joke.

I’ve been trying from different doctors. I’ve still been denied on the same basis. That I’m not feminine presenting enough for them, I’m probably never going to be enough by their standards I don’t really like dresses and I only wear makeup to conceal blemishes and a few face scars I have.

I used to try doing voice training but whenever I do a girl voice it sounds like a man trying to sound like a woman. I practiced for a long time and made zero progress. I shared on the voice training subreddits and they confirmed that it does sound super masc. I’ve basically given up at this point, it sucks and feels helpless. I might as well not even bother since even when trying the best I can people will still instantly clock me.

War on drugs is being fought in this comment section with downvotes and shitty fear mongering, and just that little bit of thinly veiled transphobia.

Lemmy may harbor less transphobes than Reddit does but they’re still here, these ones are just the ones transphobic enough to click downvote, but too scared of repercussions to speak their mind, I wish they would so they’d be banned faster.

I have a strong feeling it could’ve also been from gender dysphoria in addition to all that. I should know, I’ve had my fair share of unpleasant genital dysphoria, and while I didn’t do that I wanted to. I also know those who have indeed done it, they did it without any mushrooms but I could see how one of them could’ve done it on mushrooms.

I used they/them because when it comes to people who aren’t quite out it’s hard to know what they may or may not be okay with. Some people aren’t at the point where she/her is comfortable, denial can be really bad as well. Also might be a transfem enby, we don’t know that much about them though.

Yeah body horror can be very relatable in many ways, because in the same way they are turning into something unpleasant and grotesque, to many of us, our assigned sex at birth carries very similar feelings.

I’m very happy too. Though it’s hard being on DIY since I have to be careful and the changes have been slower than normal. Really wish I had been able to do it officially but I guess getting HRT without degrading yourself is too much to ask ☹️.

I have a feeling it could’ve been gender dysphoria. I’ve known people who did that to themselves because of penis dysphoria and they weren’t on mushrooms, it’s likely they did this to themself for similar reasons and just happened to be on mushrooms.

Sometimes it do be necessary for some of us. Lucky for me mine shrunk a lot on E, or I very well might’ve done what they did.

Edit: Transphobic dipshit downvoter has no understanding of just how bad it can be to have gender dysphoria. I hope you never have to feel just how truly awful it feels like to be born in the wrong body and feel out of place in life. It sucks royally.

I have a feeling they had some serious penis dysphoria, and were using the mushrooms as a coverup so they could cut it off without being outed. I had friends who had dysphoria that bad and couldn’t get bottom surgery due to expense or transphobic doctors and they took matters into their own hands, sadly for many it wasn’t enough and they took their own lives because of the dysphoria.

It feels really shitty that people are mocking this person for this or saying they’re crazy, dysphoria is no joke, and if E hadn’t shrunk mine as much as it did I may have done the same as where I live I can’t get bottom surgery unless I can “prove I’m a woman”, I wouldn’t even have been able to get on estrogen if I didn’t DIY it for the same stupid reason. Thank goodness for grey-market estrogen online.
