It's pretty unlikely, to be honest. I've ordered them in the US and in Australia and I've never encountered any issues with that. Keep your qualities reasonable. In Australia at least, they ship with a private prescription issued by an Australian doctor which is, I assume, to get it past customs. I figure they do that in any country that might be problematic.
Alright then, I suppose that shouldn't be a problem. Thanks, a lot.
Good luck, sweetie ♥ If there's any further advice I can give to help you, you can message me whenever.
[QUOTE=-Get_A_Life-;39228876]So knowing she has some sort of fetish would be the exact same thing as knowing she once was a man? Yep I'm done, never thought a group asking for tolerance would be so intolerant about everyone else. You won't make those problems disappear by just closing your eyes, they exist and until I get those kind of answers ("you got to understand us and in turn, we won't give a shit how you feel about it"), I won't be so supportive anymore. What a disappointment it was.[/QUOTE] Don't base your entire opinion of a certain group of people from how like 5 people act, dude :c [QUOTE=Pudding~;39231667]Babydoll, it is [I]never[/I] too late. You'll regret the time you waited, but it's never too late. I didn't transition until twenty-seven.[/QUOTE] I'm not even trans but reading things like this make me feel all happy inside Also, I just got back from hospital! Yay. After wisdoom teeth surgery (4 removed) my mouth kinda hurts.

Some law disallowing prescription medications and stuff from being imported :v: [editline]16th January 2013[/editline] at least here in Canada it's very likely unless you have an actual prescription.
I just re-read this article from ~5 years ago, I figured some other people on here might like it. [URL]http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2008/11/a-boys-life/307059/[/URL] Some favorites (both very nice and horrifying) of mine: [quote]“Brandon, God made you a boy for a special reason,” she told him before they said prayers one night when he was 5, the first part of a speech she’d prepared. But he cut her off: “God made a mistake,” he said. [/quote] [quote] She advised Tina to try a reward system at home. Brandon could earn up to $21 a week for doing three things: looking in the mirror and saying “I’m a boy”; not dressing up; and not wearing anything on his head.[/quote] [quote]But nothing can do more to normalize the face of transgender America than the sight of a 7-year-old (boy or girl?) with pink cheeks and a red balloon puppy in hand saying to Brandon, as one did at the conference: “Are you transgender?” “What’s that?” Brandon asked. “A boy who wants to be a girl.” “Yeah. Can I see your balloon?” [/quote] [quote]“Yeah, it is fixable,” piped up another mom, who’d been on the 20/20 special. “We call it the disorder we cured with a skirt.” [/quote]
A disorder cured with a skirt. I like that
accidentally unsubscribed. oopsie. Hi, guys. >_>
Any of you know how to overcome phone anxiety? I just can't get myself to make a necessary call because I'm afraid of being mistaken for a dude and then having to correct them while sounding like a scary grunt or orc that tries too hard to sound cute. ;_;

You have to want it more than anything else. More than you're scared of people judging you. More than you're worried about sounding like a weirdo." [/I] And you know what? It's great advice. The people you talk to on the phone? They probably [I]will[/I] misgender you. But my girlfriend made me make every phone call we had to make in my first month of transition, and you know what? After that month I was passing on the phone far earlier than I was passing in public. You just have to want it and screw everything else.

Im really not sure what to do, ive been heavly thinking about going for MtF, the problem is i have a feeling my family will not like it at all, not one bit., i remember my dad joking with my grandad about gay people and stuff in a really bad way, so im rather worried whats gonna happen if i tell, so far my friends all know, but none of my family. the thing that worries me most is i dont know how decent id look anyway as i girl, i dont wanna look even more ugly, even if it is the gender i feel more correct in, i 6ft1 and 1/, rather hairy, curly hair and oily skin... Im just scared that my life will collapse around me as my family hate me or worse, meaning i cant get to uni and end up dieing of depression. Damn i needed to get this out of my system, i need advice and im getting all worked up and worried about it.. Thanks, Tom/ Cathy

Grab a cheap, plain shirt, and fabric printing paper. Free "shit" shirts for at least $10

Thanks, Tom/ Cathy[/QUOTE] Hullo Cathy, This sort of thinking is very very brutal and can keep you stuck in a state of miserable limbo for many many years. I used to be of the perception that "It's too late" or "my family won't accept me" or "I won't be a pretty girl" and these things kept me from transitioning for ten more years than I needed to wait. I could have been a girl a decade again; can you imagine what might have been different in that time? I was over 400lbs when I finally started to transition. Bald. Beard. Heavy. Bulky. But you know what? I realized something: It's better to be an unattractive girl than a dead boy. Those things aren't stopping you, sweets. They're just constructs that you hold onto in search of a reason not to begin. The only thing stopping you is you. The only fears are the ones you hold onto. Are there risks? Yup. Will people be jerks? Yup. Will everybody accept you? Probably not. But everybody can do this. Everybody can pass. And you know what? I don't think I'm too unattractive now, either. You'd be amazed what a little dedication can accomplish.

But you know, some people have perceptions modeled around never having known someone close to be a part of that. It's like those who've lost a person to cancer are much more serious when dealing with fund raisers cold-canvassing in malls to raise money. My own brother never really had a positive opinion on trans-people, but since I came out he's been one of my strongest supporters and an amazing friend.
I finally called who I had to call. I used female pronouns on myself of course, and she didn't misgender me, yay. My voice isn't feminine, but she asked what languages I speak because I seemed to have some weird accent. Anyway, yay!

almost any form of exercise is good exercise? even if you get scammed and pay 100000$ for 8 videos that you work out too, if you do as the videos say you're more than likely still going to lose the weight.
