I work as a mental health professional, as I stated, and am working on my dissertation at this time; therefore, I may not have much time to read through all of the comments.
I also learned that nicotine is an estrogen blocker, so smoking will literally block the estrogen you are in taking. That's just a really counter productive thing to do in transition.
Smoking really helps teeth to fall out.
Athena Chase this I don't believe to be true I've been smoking for about a month now trying to quit but by ask your jeans is making my body change very fast
I don't know what the hell my message is saying I didn't even write none of this I've been smoking for 40 years or 30 years and I'm trying very hard to quit since I've been on HRT anxiety keeps that from being come possible but yet I am changing immensely and greatly I seem like I would be the poster child for estrogen my boobs hurt much worse than yesterday my ass is much bigger which I find very comfortable when I sit down usually my tailbone hits the ground first before my ass my skin has become much softer 3 days after the estrogen shot no smell of any kind in the same time bags under my eyes have completely disappeared almost no hair on body and today I've noticed I no longer have severe anger issues I went to a gas station today and got gas and was told I was a freak this would be considered for me walking road rage as for road rage back in the day I would chase the mother fucker down rip them out of the car and beat the shit out of this didn't bother me when she told me I was a freak I didn't get as mad as I usually would I don't like to go into public until my face completely changes book today for some reason I went out in full dress makeup and everything I feel great but the last two days have been severe bad luck there's a Facebook page for group for transgenders but Facebook has done something to involve gender agenda exposed into the same page as transgenders I have deleted my Facebook account
Nicotine s a death wish
Sometimes i feel like my mind has been tied in knots. Thinking about my gender dysphoria and going on the same train of thought as i always do when i question my whole identity and how people perceive me is exhausting, and always leaves me dejected. These videos have helped me see through the fog and put things into perspective. I am still unsure about coming out or the permanency of transitioning but i know that i take great relief in knowing that i can finally admit to myself certain truths about my gender identity, all thanks to your videos. Thank you so so much.
i know you commented this 2 years ago, but I'm going through the same thing. i hope you figured things out for yourself :)
Late reply as well, but same! I've been having serious issues lately but these videos have been so great. Hopefully I can figure myself out sooner or later
I'm going through the same thing! This vids help a lot
Ahh.. Why did I have to start smoking.. It was a coping mechanism for not being able to be my true self and now it would hold me back. Ironic.. ;~;
False "comfort" is always destructive, and not very effective, cushioning the moment, maybe, but not the future.
Very nice video. Good idea on taking measurements before starting HRT. Thank You.
Great input and solid advice. HRT is a complicated process and putting carcinogens in their system is never a good idea - period.
Thank you for your kindness and information!
One person didn't like having to stop smoking. hehehe.
Your voice is very soothing.
I never thought about what you said in the first video. You mentioned going on a T blocker without the accompanying replacement hormones. That's a good idea to see what will happen.
You are very knowledgeable I respect all your videos and wish to talk over the phone to just ask or talk . Please. Im 49 and just decided to fully transition. I'm tierd of living a double life. I'm going crazy not being able to be my authentic self.
Love charletta
when my anxiety and depression go through the roof which it has done, I breakout in shingles and have a real bad panic attack. when that happens I feel like just being in a corner and shacking worse than a jackhammer
Thank you ❤
Wow, that's good information, I'm into body building and have heard of those complaints! I'm not in a hurry so I eat right!
i am now 6 months on testosterone and a medical marijuana patient. my doc suggests it over taking pain killers. have had no issues
What's been mind-blowing to me is I shaved everything and almost nothing is coming back just my face in less than a week I learned how to walk and even how to talk and from your videos I'm learning how to completely love myself which I never did in the past and not really care what anybody else thinks hopefully they don't want to beat me up because I am 6 feet tall and of average male build I will not put up with that shit
I'm so happy for you! My experience is similar. :)
I start hrt in 4 days and am craving a newport😔. I think once I start I'll feel better. They're (cigarettes) a clutch for me.
I am 51 and I am growing breasts without the benefit of HRT. My doctor doesn't seem to think so, but I know my body.
Albert Giesbrecht yes I've also noticed this about 3 years ago I went and got a mammogram because I thought my breasts were growing
The body has innate intelligence of the truth, the DNA, having been imprinted in the womb with our innate gender hormone, working to return us to the truth. My experience is that it especially becomes more apparent after age 50, bit by bit, as our Distance from the exogenous cross-hormone increases. That original in-womb imprint on our DNA lasts, even if we were injected in the womb with powerful testosterone. That feminine fat-distribution increases over time, while the imprint from the exogenous testosterone lessens. :)
Albert Giesbrecht yes about 3 years ago I felt like I noticed my breast growing they took me for a mammogram and said that there's nothing there I believe that's a crock of shit cuz like you said we know our bodies it's the same with this problem having now Wright told the doctor urologist that I have a large lump on one of my testicles and both testicles are extremely painful if males if you are males or whoever I may be talking to has ever been kicked in the nuts this is the pain I go through 10 times a day right now neurologist takes a look says he can't find anything I asked why I'm in so much pain he says he doesn't know that was a month ago stupid freaking doctors seem to know more than the client or patient

May I offer that the ovaries can have pain during puberty, just like the breasts. Also, I have been finding that the exogenous testosterone of earlier life has created inflammatory effects in my ovaries, causing pain. The two aren't compatible.
MTF here. When you say no smoking, do you only mean tobacco or does that extend to weed? Because I've smoked weed for 10 years. My endocrinologist suggested I switch to edibles when I had my consultation with her. I've tried pot brownies and cookies before but didn't feel shit from them. I've been a weed connoisseur, and am partial to the Diesel strains.
, she's talking about changes in size my underwear keeps getting stuck I noticed my butt's already getting bigger when I sit down it's like sitting on a pillow
CA Catr before when I sat down I felt like I had no cushion now I have a lot of cushion no more bags under my eyes boobs are starting to get pretty good painful never enjoyed welcoming pain but I'm so glad this one's coming
I wonder how many people realize why the feminine padding is added to the tush, that it's to protect the outward spinal curve of the female tailbone, that in turn makes pelvic room for childbirth. When that padding isn't there and she falls on her tailbone, that outward curve of the spinal tailbone could be badly injured without padding. More and more, I'm coming to understand and deeply appreciate the reasons for the design differences, whether it's the browridge protecting the eyes of the Man, or his very wide feet giving him better balance along with his wider stance and gait. The activities of testosterone require different protection than the activities that estrogen is uniquely gifted for, from the Man's heavy thick bones even to his fingers, to the thickness and strength of his nails that protect his active fingers. Even his deep fingertip ridges give him great grip in picking things up. His eyes are wider set giving him wider peripheral vision with which to protect his family, even the bridge of his nose is stronger, wider and thicker for better protection. The woman's fingertips/ ridges are smooth, fine and sensitive, with thinner skin and nails, allowing her tenderness to feel the needs of her little, vulnerable ones. She is uniquely gifted with an eye for detail and the drive to nurture and encourage, self-sacrificing and attentive, making for well loved children, instead of neglected ones. Not narcissistic, pushy, selfish or belligerent, she (estrogen without T) is kind, caring, gentle, peaceable, patient and helpful, cooperative and tending towards quietness, unassuming in her nature. Their different giftings make a perfectly matched team that doesn't know conflict, because she, estrogen, has no drive for power and with his leadership skills, with his wide-angle of view,, he sees the overarching needs of his family's lives, and tends them, leading and protecting them.. Together, both the big picture and the small details are covered, with everyone's needs met. There's a reason why each design is as it was, and these innate hormones touch (and create) them all. It gives beautiful meaning to being " fearfully (awe-inspired) and wonderfully made". 💕

It's so awesome, seriously. I never felt more gifted by love to be what I am. Grateful tears leak with appreciation as I write this. Both innate genders are seriously special, and I am really appreciating the original design-work that comes to us from Love. I sure am feeling the love!

You know, if you hadn't made the change, as you got older, eventually you would have likely needed to start using a cushion to sit on, due to an unpadded tailbone. ~ Think about it, the male spine is straightly vertical, not curved, so the tailbone doesn't flare out; it's not at the same risk, or of discomfort in sitting on a hard surface. Because a female padded tush has the curved tailbone well-cushioned, she can sit on a hard surface comfortably too.
Thanks for the info. Your info is for the young wish you had info senior trangenders
There's a couple seniors here. You might want to read more comments of theirs.
One more reason to go straight edge
What about eating tofu, tempeh and soybeans, and drinking soymilk and wine? All these contains somewhat of oestrogen doesn’t it?
How are you supposed to get Medical Advice from a doctor
when the Entire Area you live in Is completely bias?
This is the only uninformed part of the video, but excess estrogen does NOT convert into testosterone. This process only exists for excess testosterone into estrogen. And it doesn't even really "convert" into estrogen, excess testosterone just causes a feedback loop causing testosterone to be low, which means the estrogen which is in ALL males causes some light feminization because there is less testosterone which counteracts estrogen. The reverse is NOT true for excess estrogen. You do reach a point of diminishing returns with excess estrogen where more is not useful, but the reason why you mostly cannot take a lot is because of blood clotting and circulation issues.
Every chemical reaction, including enzyme catalyzed ones, can go forwards and backwards. That means that in the case of the enzyme aromatase, you can convert testosterone into estradiol, or estradiol into testosterone. Likewise, androstenedione can be converted into estrone, and estrone can be converted into androstenedione. Statistical mechanics says it is possible. Le chatelier's principle says it is possible. The equilibrium constant and the law of mass action say it is possible. Why is it supposedly not possible?
Singularity , yeah I debunked that theory I've decided to up my estrogen from or mg a day to 5 which means I only added a half a pill I am still noticing major changes and I do not believe that if you take more than usual dosage it will reverse the symptoms I mean what the fuc if you take more alcohol than you should you will continue to get drunk and then eventually pass out it doesn't reverse itself
Can You Vape while using Estrogen Pills or Testosterone Pills?
Hi, I really like your videos and yo seem to have such a common sense approach with this. Do you still work with Trans people? I would like to contact you

How do i contact you for treatment
Okey Sis ; ya sure that its hard to give up to smokin funnythings ,but I´ll try my best Thxs too much..
I find the tidbit about carcinogens worrisome :l. I don't smoke and very seldomly drink but i work with a great deal of carcinogenic substances at work :/
Oh shit. I already started a month ago, and I forgot to take my measurements. I better get on that.
hi I'm linda of nz I so want to get on to hormones here in nz
What about e cigs? I read this article that said they have a lot less carcinogens than cigarettes but I saw a couple articles that says the opposite so what's your opinion?
I think they're not as bad, but they still contain nicotine which is bad in itself
Does that include vaping?
Forgot to mention that Im a male with 48" hips!
in regards to carcinogens, is there anything else that contains them other than cigarettes/cigars and various illegal drugs?
Yeah, damn near everything. A carcinogen is anything that reacts with DNA. Ethanol is a good example, and cigarettes have over 4,000 different chemicals in them, some of which are definitely carcinogens. But really carcinogens are more or less unavoidable, you just want to try to minimize your exposure. You have means of repairing the damage like she mentioned--as an example, the protein p53 (mutated in over 90% of all cancers IIRC). P53 proofreads your DNA based on one of the two strands and finds any errors in the opposite strand, cuts them out, and fixes them with the appropriate nitrogenous base. It is a vital protein to make, partly because the error rate for copying DNA is so high that without p53 you'd be guaranteed to have mutations every single time your cells divide--the error rate is something like 10^-8 errors per base pair (and with over 20,000 genes, each composed of hundreds to thousands of base pairs that is a pretty high rate). P53 being functional lowers the error rate down to like 10^-10 errors per base pair (100 times fewer errors).
There's no way you can take a hypochondriac approach and avoid all carcinogens, because even exposure to sunlight causes DNA mutations (thymine dimerization and 6,4-photoproducts), but you can definitely stop drinking, smoking anything, using illegal drugs, and try to maintain good nutrition for your cellular health: get enough protein, get enough antioxidants, get enough vitamin C for collagen synthesis, drink enough water, eat enough leafy greens for their folic acid content (necessary for DNA synthesis that happens during cell division), minimize trans fats and non-dairy saturated fats...
Also please remember that all steroid hormones (e.g. testosteron or estrogen) are growth hormones. Growth hormones make your body grow. This does not cause cancer, but if you happen to have developed cancer somewhere in your body that you don't know about, growth hormones may enable that cancer to grow significantly faster, since cancer is still your body and it can still use growth hormones (if it expresses the appropriate receptor for said hormones).
Does vaping low nicitine such as 3mg affect my development any if I'm on Estrogen injections?? Or does nicotine affect medroxyprogesterone development? I only see blood clot medical literature not anything on affecting these too medicine..
Makeup by Jessie Michael Vape has multiple carcinogens and other toxins an the fumes given off contain other toxins. It's unregulated so they are allowed false claims and such.
Miss so your saying I have to stop smoking cigarettes in order to be on t?
+Amanda Martin If you want the best results, then yes. That is what she is saying.
I'm afraid to go on hormones, yet at the same time I am intrigued. How do I decide?
talk to someone
Ida Fuchter if you don't have heart related problems or on blood thinners I would say like I did fuck it go for it if you don't like what's happening or you don't feel you want to be this way anymore you can easily stop taking the medication and you will go back to your normal self basically for me I cannot one month of gender dysphoria has caused me to want to go to the full extent of this boob job if I have to sexual reassignment surgery is a must I feel if I cannot go this far or unable to with my insurance or whatever money I get from a lawsuit then I will eventually kill myself
I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
We don't know. Because every body is different. No body reacts the same to hormones or drugs. Otherwise I should be able to drink as much as Andre the Giant at 135 lbs
are edibles safe? oh shit I need info on this
Hi I'm mtf if will start to use a hormones would I grow up my weight? I try to stay fit It is a possible to keep fit while I am in transition? Thank you.
Julija Van Dyk they say some people gain weight some people lose weight and some people cannot stop eating for me I can't stop eating but what I do stop I start to lose the weight if you work out you'll be able to keep the weight down but at the same time they say it's better to have weight or gain weight to redistribute the fat into your thighs ass face you will lose muscle mass in your arms as for some reason I have not yet done my arms have not decreased so in public I need to wear dresses with long sleeves
Question what about medical marijuana ? I use for pain but want to transition.
would vaporizing Cannabis be ok? since Cannabis is already an anti-cancinogen, vaporizing it makes it harmless. How does Cannabis affects +/- mtf transition?
I don't do illegal drugs or smoke but can I at least go out to the bar to socialize and drink? I literally just turned 21 😭
plume wont help me transition to a woman so I guess Ill have to do it without any kind of support
Hi im a 26 year old man and im dressed up as a woman for 6 years now. I have some mental issues. My parrends think it comes from my obesessions and mental issues. But in my opnion, it is not. There are Times that i feel like a man and other times i feel more female. I want to go on hormones for a few weeks to feel what im realy am. Im sure im not crazy. I want to find out if i want and meant to be a man or a woman. Hope you have a answer for me
We need to understand that having been under the influence of both testosterone and estrogen, they will both be " feel-able". Each has had influence on our DNA, " imprinting" it, one by nature in the womb (what we biologically are), and the opposite hormone imposed by our parents. The imposed testosterone has made us feel butch and masculine, while the estrogen we had in the womb, still has influence on us. The truth is still there, the body was male or female in the womb before our parents assigned us crosswise to that.
MrTravo Schotel it may take more than a couple weeks in your case in my case I'm at 3 weeks before I started noticing any emotional changes
CA Catr yeah I asked my mother just recently I am 50 years old by the way she says she has no idea why I would be like this now I said because you probably wished I was a female before I was even born was hoping because when I first came out 6 to 7 months I was already being dressed in female baby and being taken pictures and put on a reel to reel for which I ended up watching for most of my childhood because she showed everybody sexually assaulted at 6 years old sexually molested at 11 and 13 because my mother was too much of a loser she threw me out onto the street I dressed in my mother's clothes from 8 years old to 12 years old nobody knew about it my recent three accidents have caused severe PTSD and gender dysphoria within one month I was able to be put on the medication in some states like this one a few places don't believe that you need to live as a female for a year before you're given the medication which I felt was quite awesome
when is a good time to transition I am 13
16
When you start testosterone, do you take it for the rest of your life?
Rikutida alright, thanks for the information!
Alex Garcia yes that is the downfall unless you get lucky and I already have a feminine face nice set of boobs and got the surgery down below then you can more than likely go off the medication because you will pass in public
@@samanthasteele3488 That is false actually. If you have already gotten bottom surgery, then you will be able to stop taking blockers, but you will still need to take estrogen, as you will have lost your only source of testosterone and don't have a natural source of estrogen. You'll effectively be in a worse situation than a cis-woman who has hit menopause as far as hormone production goes. Also, the question is about testosterone, not estrogen. :/
Really? Nicotine blocks estrogen😔
what about medical marihuana tho?
Dominic no drugs cero!! including medical marijuana
Makes sense because I have normal T levels for a man AND just below average Estrogen levels FOR A WOMAN @ 199 pg/ml NATURALLY and my VA health care provider says that Im normal! Ha!
So don't smoke weed for 5 years that's easy I'll just play more video games when I start hormones I'm addicted to gaming so staying away from drugs and alcohol is super easy for me
My mam thinks my dad "turned me trans" like whaAt? Because he wanted me to have boy and girl toys / hobbies growing up LOOK I'm sorry I stopped being your Disney princess 24/7 at six and became a Tomboy because that's how I felt more comfortable but like you let me wear guy things and be fine with it and I'm happy you did /are still doing but I hate this "it's no problem if your Trans BUT" it could be something else instead huh? Like depression cos I have that TOO, its not like a package deal hun..............
sorry just needed to rant ever just wish you could say these things instead of pretending nothing happened and going back into the closest like 👉😐👉...
Anyone?
I need to contact a therapist and someone who can provide me medical care and hormones... How can I contact someone? the country doesnt matters
Can you send me an email? staff@thetransitionchannel.org I need some specifics about where you are. I will help you but I don't want to have these specific details available to others on this public forum.
+Charlie Chiskei i have found going through your primary doctor may be advisable. for as much as it may seem scary , should your doctor wind up being difficult , than that would be good to know before transitioning....
The Transition Channel Hi a long take in a mature transwoman to get full transition? thanks
