ModPost Re. chasers on this sub

30 Upvotes

Hey guys, been noticing an influx of comments and even posts from chasers (AKA cis people who fetishize trans people) on the sub lately. We prohibit any NSFW solicitation as this is a general discussion subreddit. We aim to be a resource for Filipino transmascs, not a place where chasers can have easy access to trans people.

We have added two new rules:

  1. No R4R / meetup posts. Yes, even SFW meetup posts will have to be removed, for safety reasons. Go to r/phlgbtr4r instead for R4R, and schedule other meetups elsewhere.
  2. No chasers. Chasers are subject to a permaban.

Please also use your own discretion when posting here. Avoid posting personal information such as your approximate location and your other social media handles. Only agree to meet up with people you can easily identify.

For the safety of this community, if you see a user that engages in predatory behavior or posts unsolicited NSFW comments, feel free to report it to the mods (myself and u/donichikon) and we'll take it down.

A helpful article about chasers if you want to read more: https://tabooless.net/stories/trans-issues/trans-chasers-the-good-the-bad-and-the-urgh/

If you have any questions feel free to comment as well. :)

Discussion What happens if I've been taking more than my prescribed dosage?

3 Upvotes

Hwllo i recently checked my prescription and I've been taking a few mls more than what I was prescribed accidentally. I've been taking the same amount for as long as I remembered, and I was shocked to find out it was lower than I thought. No wonder everything is going too fast for me.

I'm scared since I have an appointment coming up to check my hormones, should I tell my doc?

Also, what happens if I don't have to funds to do all the tests needed for my next appointment? I'm still unemployed and I heard that all those tests can get really expensive... Would it be possible to delay it?

HRT Discussion Is it allowed to start testosterone around 16-17yo?

5 Upvotes

I am a trans man in senior high school. I've been planning to start testosterone for a long, long time; my parents are okay with the idea and fully support me in this decision. But I have no idea where to find hospitals/clinics for it. I know that I have to get blood and lab work done, and then go through an endocrinologist to get a prescription. But I just don't know if that's allowed in this country. I have parental consent and would like to start on T, but I don't know of any resources or how to begin. My mom told me that the lab works/blood works should have a reason for why we have to do it, and I am not sure if that's an acceptable reason.

Please help.<:)

HRT Discussion finasteride for low dose T?

5 Upvotes

just got off my second consultation :)

since i'm nonbinary and closeted, i opt for the lowest dose and i was prescribed for 0.4mL of testoviron for every 3 weeks. my doctor does not lean towards finasteride because it is not proven anywhere, and may increase health risks.

i did tell her why i'm interested -- i don't particularly want facial and body hair growth, bottom growth, and balding lol.

i'm not sure if i should post this here or on r/transmascDIY ; but i was also hoping to know where to get finasteride in the philippines in case i really start feeling like i need it. thank you!

Discussion Can minors get haircuts or is my mom just trying to scare me?

11 Upvotes

I'm a minor in my senior highschool and gusto ko sana magpagupit ng masculine haircut but my mom said they won't allow a minor get a haircut by themself without parents consent. And alam nyo strict ung parents talaga since most of the time Christian sila, pinapayagan naman ako na bumili ng sarili kong damit via thrifting pero yung hair ko talaga ang gusto kong pagupitin. Gusto ko kasi talaga tingin sakin lalaki, hindi tomboy..so is it true I can't get haircuts by myself or just a scare tactic?

HRT Discussion Question on NowServing App

5 Upvotes

is this the best app for online consultation?

i recently booked a consultation and finished my lab results 2 days after. its been another 2 days and they aren't replying, given that they have thousands of patients. so i realized, i have to book a followup consultation for them to notice me?? which is the same price as the initial consultation 705php..

i feel like ditching and maybe trying FORT PH bc i've read the follow up check ups are free, but i want to hear opinions first :(( i have money to start out HRT but 700 per meeting sounds like a waste when follow up check ups are a necessity.

another question, am i wasting money by going on low dose, or am i saving stock? lol, i clearly have little understanding on this

Support Any closeted/repressor here?

5 Upvotes

Hey bros, I hope this post is allowed. Just want to ask out here if there are any dudes here who are Fully closeted or "Reppers" basically those who repress their male identity and live as typical women. I'm one of those stereotypes who showed signs from a young age, and I have fully accepted I can't do anything about it due to a lot of personal reasons from social to career wise. basically just doing it for survival in my situation. I'm here to talk to anyone who's also going through the same thing, I'm here to listen and vent along with your struggles, talk about anything whatever floats your boat, as well as be a friend. I guess it's lonely out here to go through this it's killing me everyday. Hope y'all have a Good evening mga Kuys! 🫡

Support Planning to get hrt, need some advice (18yo)!

5 Upvotes

I've only researched a bit about this so I'd like to ask for some help. Though I'm not sure if I'll actually go through with this because I'm scared of my parents noticing (I know this is inevitable), and they might get mad at me. They're generally "supportive" naman, I guess you could say it that way. Like they don't dislike it enough to kick me out or disown me, but they still don't refer to me properly and all that. I've also been feeling more dysphoric lately because of college, everyone sees me as a girl, and some classmates urged me to go with them sa girls restroom pa TT

Maybe I just felt like college would be a fresh start, and I thought I passed fairly well already, but I guess not.

Anyways I'd like to know the process of getting hrt, like if I need to get diagnosed, etc etc. I want to save up for the doctors and stuff because I want to do this as safely as possible (still kinda scared haha), and I downloaded the NowServing app and saved one of the doctors that someone reccomended here that specializes in transgender care

How much do I also need to set aside for this? I will also mention that I might get gel if ever, I'm afraid of needles because I might not be able to do it myself, pero medyo sanay nako sa feeling nya, just scared that I might inject it wrong. My only source of money is through the allowance my parents give me and commissions from time to time

Also not sure if it's appropriate to ask here, but if anyone also has reccomendations for where to get mental health diagnosis, I'd also like that ❤️‍🩹

Also if anyone would like to be friends here I would love to get to know anyone 🥹 I don't have many trans people in my life so it's kind of hard to feel like I can truly express myself anywhere. If anyone's curious I also don't really identify as a trans man fully 🤔 more on just transmasculine. Thank you so much to anyone that answers in advance ❤️‍🩹

Discussion Dysphoria from having a feminine name

8 Upvotes

Since it seems costly ang process of going through a name change, and I can't afford it yet since student pa ako, I know that it is typical to choose a name for yourself instead (lalo na kapag feminine yung name mo).

But what about in settings where they ask for your name (like sa certain businesses or services)? Like sa library dito samin, you have to put in your name before entering; do you put in your legal name or your preferred name? Or sa certain services like sa derma for cleaning, what name do you put?

Also, another worry of mine is when I meet someone new (not in a dating sense but more like meeting an online friend irl who doesn't know my actual name or that I'm trans). What if they ask for my name, do I give them my preferred name? I just feel like I'm "lying" if I give them a name I chose for myself. But if I give my legal name, I'm afraid that I'll get judged (since feminine name ko), especially if they decide to search up my name sa Facebook and see posts of me pre-T uploaded by our school.

I just want to know how to deal with this po since the dysphoria has been keeping me awake.

Discussion Need future advice

8 Upvotes

Hello!

15 years old palang ako pero may plano akong mag medically transition in the future, siguro kapag college na ako

tinry ko na dati mag come out sa family ko dati pero sa na obserbahan ko ayaw talaga nila na transgender ako(not that transphobic sila idk??? Like medyo accepting sila ng queer people at may close family friend kami na gay couple pero ayaw nila na queer ako???????) layk Nagbibind ako ng chest for a while at alam nila, kaso nilecturan ako tungkol don tas sinigawan aq ng isang ate ako kc ayaw kong tanggalin😬...

Most likely under pa ako sa support nila financially kapag college na ako, so aywan ko lang kung anong gagawin ko.... Either I transition medically later in the future or I become financially independent by like 20...........

Very worried ako and everything, plano ko nga din mag ibang bansa para lang mapalitan yung pangalan ko at gender marker 😭 need advice on your experiences and what I could probably do in my situation
