I'm a bit disappointed to find out that some of the artists I listen too are extremely popular amongst trenders, particularly theyfab types. It's low-key made me a tad dysphoric in a weird way. When a cis man likes "women's music" it's Taylor Swift or Lady Gaga, when it's me, a trans man, it's artists like Mother Mother, Hozier, IDKHBTFM, Shayfer James, and other similar artists. What causes a certain type of music to predominantly be listened to by trender types? It's usually labelled "queer music", frankly I don't know how Jack Stauber or Will Wood is "queer music". Especially when most, if not all, of these artists are straight men. I hate listening to music I like only to feel like some

I'm 20yo, 2 years on T, and I inject 50mg of testosterone cypionate on Mondays and Thursdays.
Here's my panel:
-SHBG: 15.8 nmol/L
-Albumin: 4.8 g/dL
-Free Testosterone: 219.8 pg/mL
-Bioavailable Testosterone: 480.8 ng/dL
-Total Testosterone: 875 ng/dL
-Estradiol: 56 pg/mL
-AST: 22 U/L
-ATL: 31 U/L
I'll be talking to my doctor next appointment, but I wanted to ask you guys if you see anything off? My estradiol seems pretty high and I'm not sure how my other levels are doing. My SHBG is low and I'm not sure if my free testosterone to bioavailable testosterone ratio is off. I think my T/E2 (875/56) ratio is 15.6. I'm not sure if that's good or

Strange title, but I'm curious. I'd love a jockstrap style device with a bulge (made of foam, cotton, or whatever) built-in to it. I would be able to wear it comfortably under my boxers without worrying about it falling out, moving around, etc. It'd also probably be cheaper than a silicone packer. Yet I can't seem to find anything online. It seems like an obvious thing that should exist. I'd make one myself if I wasn't shit at sowing. If y'all have any links, I'd love them.
I'm looking for a STP that uses a harness, preferably 3.5-4in in length, and decent quality (I've heard of STPs tearing and melting). I've never bought a STP, so I don't know who to buy from. I'd like to keep the price <$60-100 if possible. I'm a broke college student and between buying the STP, the harness, and shipping costs I'll be paying more than I probably should right now, but my bottom dysphoria is messing with me more and more.
This probably goes without saying, but I want a softer STP that offers a more natural bulge. And while it doesn't need to be ultra realistic, I'd like it to be realistic enough to use a urinal comfortably.
Something $100 or less, if possible. It doesn't need to be hyper realistic, but realistic enough that if some weirdo pops a peek at me in the urinal I won't be outted immediately. Also, I don't want a huge bulge, just a natural looking one. I'd prefer a STP with a harness or something similar. I know some STP need adhesive and some you just hold in boxers. I want ZERO chance of it falling off.
Looking for suggestions.
While I (20M) have the desire to be on the giving end of PiV sex, bottom surgery is unrealistic for me at the moment. In the past I just figured I could get by with manual and oral sex, but whether it's me changing or the 2yrs of testosterone, I feel like PiV sex. However, I don't want to feel like a lesbian with a strapon. It doesn't have to look ultra realistic, but I am looking for...
-Something that feels more like a prosthetic than a strapon.
-Something sturdy. I don't want it falling off or anything.
-Something reasonably priced, I'm a college student after all.
-Bonus points if there's one that somehow stimulates my natal phallus. I'd like to be able to physically enjoy sex wi

I (19M) am working on losing weight and have already dropped some weight. But I'm still overweight. My doctor is aware of my weight and it's changes. However, my doctor recently upped my dose from 50mcg to 75mcg after I pestered him about my symptoms. This issue is that following the 1.6mcg/kg model, my dose should be at least 88mcg. Every source I read says something along the lines of "1.6mcg/kg a day for adults is standard". Should I be worried? Is this information misleading? Do doctors follow the minimum 1.6mcg/kg?
I (20M) don't know if this is normal or not. I don't think it is, I talked to my dad about it and he thinks I'm nuts now. I'm not a troll, just using a throwaway for privacy.
Sometimes when I feel strong, positive feelings I also aggression. I'm not angry, the opposite, I'm extremely happy. I recently got a new car, it made me want a punch a hole in the wall. My cat is extremely adorable and affectionate, it makes me want squeeze or crush her. I get a raise and I want to pound the table.
I want to make it EXTREMELY clear that I never act out this aggression in a violent manner. It's just a strong surge of energy and I disperse it in other ways. I never want to break something, I neve

I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, but I can't find any information on Google.
I asked my doctor a week ago if we should up my levothyroxine dose (I have hypothyroidism). Last time my levels were checked, they were within range but on the upper end of the range and I am still dealing with symptoms. My doctor wanted to do labs, but seemed open-minded to upping my dose.
Today AthenaHealth notified me that my TSH and T4, FREE results were ready. I looked and just as I expected, my levels were technically within normal range, but still on the boarder. However there was a note next to my results that says "Note from [Doctor's Name]: *The results of your recent lab tests are within n
Before anyone says "you're not even done growing yet!" Yes, I am. Doctors have told me I am and I've been this height since 5th grade. I've come to terms with it and I'd rather accept I'll be 5'1" now than be let down in the future. I'm not suicidal over my height and I know it's not the end of the world. I could be born without limbs, with a horrible facial disfiguration, I could've been born with a life-altering health condition, and so on. I have it better than many folks on this planet. I'm aware. But I still wish I was taller.
I feel like a child in an adult's world. I feel like I'm not taken as seriously. I feel like I'm not allowed to feel hit or sexy because being a short guy is sy
