Aspirin is awful, and I still can't believe people take it daily.

It's proven to reduce the risks of heartattacks and strokes.
I take it once a day because it stops my plates swelling up :v:
When is it "too late" to start taking hormones to end up with a passable female body? I recently turned 16, and puberty has already taken a (seemingly) permanent hold
At that point, its too late to halt the spreading of your hips and other bone structure related things for women.
Its vice versa for men I believe
No its not? Seriously there is no "too late" point
I wish people would stop thinking that.
Wouldn't Glute and Thigh exercises be best for losing weight and getting a nice frame rather than upper-body exercises?
Also what kind of materials are good in panties/boyshorts? I'm kinda bored of the cotton ones.

There certainly points where the treatment becomes less effective, though

At least, that's what I've heard.

Less effective or sub-optimal doesn't mean it's not possible, though. Lemme nab a transition picture.
[QUOTE=landstorm;38850699]if you got a penis just keep on it dont need to cut it off!![/QUOTE]
No one is cutting off their penis. That would be a terrible waste of a potential vagina.

You've heard wrong. I've seen transwomen who transitioned in their 50's and looked just fine.

Yeah. Here's that pic I was talking about.

I personally know this woman. I don't think it ever hit me that she was trans. At least, it didn't for a long while. The only thing that really gave it away was her voice; I only knew she was trans after I asked why her voice sounded a bit different. Keep in mind, though, this was yeeeeeeeeeeears ago, when I was still a kid.
[QUOTE=Riodoku;38851085]Estrogen counteracts male pattern baldness. The only side effect to really be worried about is blood clotting.[/QUOTE]
Does it actually counteract it? I've heard people say it only stops it from getting worse but doesn't counteract it but I've also heard what you've said as well.

From my understanding, after the age of 25 or 26 it has less of an effect on mtf transgender people (unsure on what age it'd be for ftm) because that's the point that the male body naturally is fully grown. It still has plenty of an effect, it just doesn't offset the natural male body growth thing.

Anything else that won't be nearly as pricey?
:S
EDIT: Anyone know any fluffy/large volume scarves that aren't made of thick fabric? I want a scarf to cover my neck when it's cold but not weigh myself down too much. Also want to know what colors would mix well with purple and black.
The treatment always has the same effects on the body when taken after the initial pubic stages. There are just certain things that cannot be reversed after certain stages of life.
16 is certainly not "too late". Trends today are currently pointing towards more people transitioning in their late teens/early twenties. I transitioned when I was 15 (chemically when I turned 18) and I'm indistinguishable from any other woman. There is no "too late".

Who said 16 was too late? I have no chance of getting anything even close to started in the next 3+ years...
If you know you need to transition and can't for any reason other than incomes issues, then you have to consider self-medication. It is not as dangerous as Facepunch likes to project, and it has its place in trans medicinal practice.

While the prospect seems attractive, the only barrier I really would have in my way would be my parents and friends if/when I decided to transition.. I have absolutely no idea how they'd take it, is the only issue.
Also laws that factor in with me being a minor so my parents can deny me actually getting therapy, etc
My mother asked me today, what I wanted for christmas. She seems to have forgotten entirely that I asked her about therapy over a month ago. She's never mentioned it. I'd tell her i want some therapy for christmas, but, I fear her reaction. All the same, if I don't, I stay in this small isolated shell of existence for a bit longer.
Damn you moral dilemmas.

My mother keeps asking me the same thing, I wanted to say SRS or the like but I settled on saying 'The Dark Knight Rises' on DVD, I just have no idea how to come out to my parents.
Okay so last night at the Shelter this happened to me.
*Walks into room with her bed in it and starts trying to clean an ingrown toenail*
Other girl: *Whispering* Fucking disgusting.
Me: I can't help that my toenail is fucked up.
Other girl: No, it's not that. I mean why are you even in here?
Me: .....
Other girl: I mean like not to be rude but do you have a penis?
Me: .....
Other girl: Do, you, have, a penis?!
*I leave the room for a few minutes and come back*
Other girl: It's fucking disgusting why is she I mean he in here?
*Doesn't say anything and goes to bed and turns off the light*
Other girl: *Screeches* Why the hell did you turn off the light on me?! Are you just being butthurt or something! *To another girl* All I asked if she I mean he had a penis, she didn't need to be a Bitch about it. I mean he didn't need to be a bitch about it!
*Gets out of bed and goes to talk to the staff about the harassment*
A few minutes later while waiting for the staff to stop being busy she runs into the hall screeching about how it was 'Just a simple question' and that I'm being mean by not answering and bullshit.
Staff asks her to leave, she starts screaming even louder and then starts bitching at everyone for being 'against her' and then grabs all her stuff while still screeching.
A few minutes later she's still here screeching and complaining about how she's 'Glad to be leaving' and then how she'll 'Run me over with a SUV' and then starts throwing her shoes at another person at the shelter before staff come and escort her out.
What a fucking night that was.

Everyone is free to do whatever they want on their free internet time.
I hope you manage Reshy. :C
[QUOTE=DiscoInferno;38867724]And she chooses to spend her internet time on Facepunch?[/QUOTE]
Best site this side of the North Korean Firewall.
If I'd want therapy, and I don't know where to go with that, do I just go to the nearest general practitioner?
Why not facepunch in between looking for work? It at least gives a distraction from how bad my situation is.
EDIT: I'm also waiting to get into job core, so there's not much I can get other than temp work.
