Hi - I’m a trans woman in her early 50s who is 66 days into her transition. As I pack up my belongings and prepare to move into the next chapter of my life, I have been listening to your monthly HRT updates. I listened to months one through six and then started skipping to the next milestone videos. Thank you for rigorously, thoughtfully, and compassionately documenting your experiences for those of us who are following in your footsteps.
Oh my thank you so much much. It's mean a lot to know the videos have had a such positive impact on you. Here's to your journey as you move into that next aforementioned chapter.
Thank you, it's been a journey thus far. Congrats on one month, you've got quite a journey ahead yourself. Here's hoping your second month has been going well.
Hi Max I hear you regarding the choice in career paths, I took the money path and succeeded now I am trying to break into the arts that I neglected. I hope you have success however you choose and all your transitions are smooth.
Thank you, that means a lot. I'll certainly do my best. Kudos to your success and here's hoping your journey into the arts is an insightful and fruitful one.
I am a 73 year old Transwoman. Started when I was about 20 years old. I wish you a smooth and wonderful transition. I only really have 1 comment... don't be so obsessed with your hair. Everything will be as it is meant to be. Aggain good luck to you with the new life you have chosen.
Awww thank you. I've certainly grown out of that concern in recent time. My happiness and overall expression reflects that's I suppose, but I really appreciate you taking the time to share some kind and helpful words. Thank you 😊
Hi I'm just running into your video we are about the same time frame of transitioning . I'm at 3 years as of last month October I think you might be the same 3 years I don't know maybe 4? I wanted to ask you if that's not personal. Are you on the injections or are you on the pill? I started my transition on the pills I was on 6 mg of estrogen a day and 200 mg of spironolactin. I have or had more of an issue with muscle too much muscle development because I studied dance through my childhood and even though the pills have helped me a lot I've noticed when my breasts grew beautifully within six or seven months on only 6 mg of estrogen in some cases some trans women don't even grow breasts on the pill but I was very lucky to develop breasts that look like real breast and not little girl titties. And I've noticed also I'm on the pills the hair growth in my body decreased or slow down I don't have to shave as often my legs Etc my chest I don't have to shave at all it's like the hair on my chest completely stopped which I'm happy about I still have some problem areas that I have to use waxing to take care of on my own. I recently started taking the injection and I've been on the injections for almost a year now I started taking them in 2022 January and I'm hoping for even better results on the injections that's why I'm asking about your dosage because or if you're on injections because I think you're process is going very well. I have an issue with not being able to lose weight easily having a big boned frame also being tall at 5 ft 11 keeps me from being in that passable lifestyle that I wish I had and I think you look very passable so that's another reason why I was curious of what your doses your dosage Maybe in order to maybe help myself. My primary caregiver put me on estradiol valerate100 mg 5 ml bottle and I'm not sure if that's the correct dosage . I don't know because this is new to me the injections are a new experience so I'm not sure if the dosage I'm on will help me get the results I'm looking for. My primary caregiver has some experience with trans women but he still learning on his own and he's always asking for a second opinion from other doctors and I'm just feeling that he's holding me back on my true potential because of his fear of not knowing much about the medication himself. He prescribed to me to take the injection every other week but I take it once a week without telling him because I don't feel like every other week is going to give me any results and most girls are on the injections they take them once a week. I don't understand why he would do every other week which I find really ridiculous and I've already discussed with him to if my dosage is correct will I get the results I'm looking for? and he didn't really have much to say on the subject. So pretty much I'm looking for I don't know advice on injection dosages is that a high dosage to give me good results or are you on the pills I am not sure I'm sorry if my question is so long and all over the place but I'm still learning about the injections.
Thank you, that'd certainly be interesting and I'd definitely do it. My favorite is a tie between 9,10 and 11. They all are very interesting in their own rights though I do have specific reasoning for why I like each. 9 especially as he was not only my gateway to the series but his personality and energy is what hooked me. So for now I'd perhaps say him.
Indeed, and once again I am disappointed to not be a ginger. But this face is still a good one, now if you'll excuse me I'm craving fish fingers and custard.
Well how else was I supposed to hide the bite mark?... Real talk though, I actually got it to cover my self harm scars. Many years ago I was in a bad place and had these on and off moods where I'd hurt myself as punishment for my actions. I was very self loathing at the time, but I've since gotten better. As my way of moving forward and having a more positive reminder on my wrist I got a tattoo. I specifically chose Ellie's because of my love for her and games series as a whole. But in a fitting way like her I have it to conceal something from the past I'd rather not discuss. I plan on getting many, many more tattoos down the road as a way of expressing myself, but this first one will always be special for the aforementioned reasoning.
@@MaxCarney47 wow that’s incredible. Thanks for sharing this with me. As I was just joking it’s pretty cool that tattoo was used for an empowerment reason and a way to move forward.
@@4mAALIKcHIN4 Happy to. My past is what it is and I've since more than moved forward to being a much happier person. So I'll continue to share my experiences in the hope that it may help others.
Hey Max, you might not remember me because I haven't been there for a while, but I came back with a gift for you cos I couldn't stop thinking about you lately, do you have any e-mail box i could send to?
Hello, I do remember you, always appreciated your kind words. It's good to hear from you, I hope you've been well. That is very sweet of you 😊 I'm not sure what to say. If you'd like to send me something you are more than welcome to via my DMs on Instagram, @maxinecarney47. I may make a business email in the near future to open up a new avenue for communication and whatnot though I'm not sure when I'll do that. Anyway, thank you for reaching out, always a pleasure and I look forward to seeing your gift. Feel free to reach out whenever you'd like someone to talk to and I'll be there as best I can.

love the shirt
Thank you, it's one of my favorites. I'm quite a Doctor Who fan 😄
@@MaxCarney47 so am I can't wait for it to come back
What a Wonderful Whovian you are! ( Maybe one day you could portray a Generation of the Doctor!) Who is your favorite Doctor?
Thank you, that'd certainly be interesting and I'd definitely do it. My favorite is a tie between 9,10 and 11.

You've regenerated
Indeed, and once again I am disappointed to not be a ginger. But this face is still a good one, now if you'll excuse me I'm craving fish fingers and custard.
Did you have a chemical burn? And then covered it up with that tattoo?
Well how else was I supposed to hide the bite mark?...
