IMPORTANT SITE REMINDERS ARE LISTED AFTER THIS RANT (so please read all of it in order to find the rules >:3)
On this mega I shall take the opportunity to rant about one of my favorite things: the Webnovel UNJUST DEPTHS!
Do you love transgenders?
Do you love communism?
Do you love queer romance?
Do you love killing fascists in a giant fucking mech?
Would a plotline with all of these things happening in a underwater retro-futuristic gundam setting intrigue you?
Especially if its actually really well written with good characters, rich worldbuilding, and a marxist leninist transfem author?
All of the answers should be: YES I DO or else I WILL BAN YOU
Since you obviously love all of those things then Unjust Depths is perfect for YOU yes YOU! It is DESTINY
The Imbrian Ocean is at a time of severe instability. The monarch of the vast Empire that spans its unjust depths (:3) is sick and nearing death, every territory of the ocean now vying to carve their own Destiny out of the chaos. From the Volk fascists 
, Zionists 
(they literally will not die why are they still here oh my god), The 'Anarchists' (social chauvanists) 
in Bosporus, and the monarchs 
of each vast noble domain, each vies for power and prestige no matter who they crush underfoot, but it would be a pretty depressing story without a bright light in the dark.
On the edge of the Empire sits the glorious Union! The (Soviet) Union 
is a socialist federation of three states (and one anarchist mountain 
)that were formerly slave colonies under the Imbrian Empire until they broke away in a fierce liberation war. They have spent the last 20 years since then building themselves up. Whether they be Human 
, Shimmi 
(Catgirls who usually follow a religion closely related to modern Islam), and Kattaran 
(a hybrid humanoid species with characteristics of sea life ranging from sharks to cuttlefish)building socialism side by side.
First lead under the revolutionary leader Dashka Kansal, then the Idealist Ahwalia who lead the country to near ruin in pursuit of building a utopia on pillars of sand, then under the scientific socialist 
leadership of the Grand Marshall of the Union, Bhavani Jayanskar (I love Jayanskar so much shes basically as if Stalin, Lenin, and Zhukov were rolled into the same person but was a black lesbian badass who wore the uniform REALLY WELL)(she aint the main character at all tho shes only in very few scenes i just love her so much). Under Jayanskar, the Union has been growing their economy to both eliminate hunger and give everyone a home 
, but also growing their military capabilities for the inevitable return of the Empire. The Union is alone, but with the people by its side nothing, not even Destiny, can snuff out true freedoms light. 
As war wages between the Empire and Republic (basically underwater USA) once more over the lands between them, the facade begins to finally crack...
And a border conflict between the Empire and Union escalate, and the dreaded reconquest begins.
Amidst this turmoil, lives our main characters (yes there are multiple and all of them are lovely). Each of whom I personally love dearly, and are very well characterized. Many are soldiers of the Union, some are scientists, some are divers (mech pilots), some are lost strands finding new meaning after joining this band of Brigands
All are Communists 
All serve the Union 
All would gladly give their lives to defending socialism 
but even they would have little inkling of the adventure set in store for them as the lands beneath the waves erupt in fire, fury, and revolt
Can these transgender badasses kick fascist ass?
Can they kiss? (oh my god please kiss ISTG THERE IS SO MUCH SHIPPING AHHHH ITS GLORIOUS)

you shouldnt if you want accurate levels

it's not like they're supposed to be the health care professionals getting paid the big bucks....oh wait
I have literally no trust in any medical "professional" and will never mot doublecheck their shit.
This is the way.
fun fact, if you put the gel straight into your crotch it's 3x as effective, evidently my doctor didnt know this judging by the horrified note she put into my blood work levels. She did calculate it correctly and no one ever told me where to put the gel.
slowly collecting cheap treasure trove of estrogen gel
Fuck, you can gel your... Oh that's kind of awesome, oh I kind of fucking like that. Oh, yes.
I love that you horrified your doctor and I want that treasure trove of gel.
They refuse to give me vials because there's a risk of blood clots or whatever so fuck em, i'll fucking drink this gel if i want, bitches
There probably isn't though? Unless you have a condition but I assume doctors are just liars lmao. Based though, drink that shit!!!
there is a chance of estrogen releasing any blood clots you may have collected into your veins while being on with disgust testosterone
. But after you start on E it just kinda future proofs your veins against that shit.
I was diyselfing this with pills that did go to bloodstream though so I feel they're just being assholes about it, the fuckers. As long as the keep the hrt flowing they can suck my girl dick for all i care
A recent study found that while the rate of blood clots for transgender women on estrogen was higher than in the general population, rates of blood clots are lower in transgender women compared with premenopausal cisgender women taking oral contraceptives. In short, estrogen HRT can increase the risk of blood clots--but no more than birth control pills do.
linky
ah! but have you considered my doctor doesnt know jack about shit?
Well I know that
The neat thing is that I bet those studies included trans women on oral e, which has a higher risk of blood clots since it’s processed by the liver. So the actual risk of blood clots for people on sublingual or other methods is probably lower
I've heard similar for years now, a lot of the clot warning stuff dates back to the older medications (before the switch to bio identical estrogens iirc) it was more relevant, they don't tend to update things as much to reflect that. That's not to say there is zero risk, it's just quite over blown.
I just linked where folxhealth had data from
Oral estradiol does actually have a higher risk than non-oral because of some reactions that occur in the liver, but it is still much safer than the older conjugated estrogens and not really that dangerous (as that study shows)
Yeah I’m sure that is the best available data (or close to it) it just sucks that the cis medical establishment treats trans healthcare this way
I know this
Just how it is unfortunately
Sorry I think I misunderstood your previous comment
It's okay, I take oral estradiol and it was explained to me about the risks to liver is all. I also thought it fairly common knowledge
That's where I assumed it would go
Healthcare professionals should like, inform patients.
