It would make my life so much simpler right about now and it would be a flawless way of showing parents or friends without having to convince people over and ovee that you're not being irrational or stupid for wanting to transition

They did numerous studies on that

I personally made the decision NOT to bank any sperm because for me, it was a very uncomfortable thought. Feeling like a woman and transitioning knowing I had a kid from sperm (and not an egg) felt just too uncomfortable and masculine to me, which I don't identify with whatsoever. That's just me, though. Every trans woman is different.

Alexis, thank you for being the most helpful, most knowledgeable counselor I have had in over 25 years. I was tired of dealing with "professionals" who didn't know as much about gender dysphoria as I did, who were basically looking for me to pay them to learn how to help me. You have put the time in the classroom to learn about this stuff and have the credentials to prove it. I'm glad that I found your videos and made the decision to work with you on my gender issues. You have the ability to do what so many "traditional" therapists never did - you actually make us think, and question, and begin to understand ourselves in ways that we never had before. Thanks for being here for us.

Oh my gosh! Even thought I'm trans I never thought about adopting a child who was trans! I have always wanted to adopt a child, but this is such an amazing and wonderful idea! I can't believe I've never thought of that before!

Thank you so much for this information. I found a doctor who was open minded in my small southern town but he fully admitted he was kind of "flying blind." We originally started with pills but after I showed him my research on HRT, we switched to injections. So much better and from what I have read, injections are easier on your body. Just follow the guidelines to injecting yourself safely and you will be OK. I used to set up a mirror and pretend I was injecting a friend. Helped me, but then again I am terrified of needles.

Your info is so helpful, it is great to have people like you doing this kind of approach to transgendered people. Im a male starting estrogen by the way.

Hi Alexis! I just wanna say thank you soooo much!! 🌸🌸🌸

Just saying thank you for the encouragement and assistance to put aside the "excuses." I am choosing the slow route ... got my ears pierced (2 weeks ago), purchased an epilator and started hair removal on my legs (last week) -- ouch, created a dedicated email for my new life, and after a week of solid research, ordered over the counter pills (this week) that will arrive next week. Basically, I like your approach to transitioning -- taking in both emotional and logical decision making path. In truth, deep inside, I am a girl who likes to dance, ice skate, cook and other artistic things. Again, thank you for the encouragement. Oh, one suggestion, if you are trying to epilate your legs, what I did was shave first and then wait a half a day (for a little hair growth) and then epilate later in the evening. Shaving first reduces hair length and then later in the evening less hairs have resurfaced and the epilator gets them. Now on the second week of epilating, it is getting less painful. I am glad to be able to start sharing the "inner" beauty ...

HRT implants or pellet implants are very popular in Australia. While they require a Doctor or nurse to implant the pellet, the procedure is painless fairly cost effective and an efficient and safe method of E delivery. Not only is this convenient, it also bypasses the liver and removes the opportunity or temptation to vary doses without prior discussion with your endocrinologist.

Alexis definitely has the knowledge dealing with hormones and their effects. Remember your Doctor will be monitoring how you are doing.

your video quite interesting

I know I am posting late, but the comment "Stopping testosterone and bearing a child has a higher risk of developing autism." I guess this is handy knowledge, but I am on the autism spectrum and I love who I am, despite the fact that autism can suck sometimes and be very distracting. BUT I would not change who I am, and I am glad I have autism because I just don't dance to the rhythm of the world beat. It makes me unique in so many ways, and being "neurotypically normal" in my opinions sounds very boring :-) I only mention this because the context this statement was given sounded negative, like "You should avoid having autistic children." But I do realize that might not have been your intention :-) Anyway I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS and I am learning SOOOO much!

Kerry... 1. She did not say that autism was caused by having transgender parents. She said that studies show that there is a link between FTM people who come off of hormones to become pregnant with autistic children. This may not be a direct correlation, and even if it is, autism could be caused by more than one thing. 2. What would you classify autism as? It is not something that you should be ashamed of, but it is definitely not something that I think anyone would wish on their child. Would you? She is simply sharing facts for transgender people who may want a child later in life.

@cacatr4495

6 жыл бұрын

Adam Campos I understood what was said there in the video as being, the possible effects of the Ftm-parent's cross-hormones (which would be exogenous testosterone) on her ovum (egg), on the development of her child in her womb, potentiating a chance that the child might be somewhere on the autism spectrum. My biologically female parent continued on testosterone until learning she was pregnant with me, likely the first 5-6 weeks of my developmental life in her womb. It is my experience that cross-hormones are very dangerous in many ways. In addition to the DNA effects to bone and cell development, hormones shape the mind and the attitudes with it. There have been medical effects (problems) also. What we originally are in the womb needs to be respected and not assigned the opposite by our parents.

Patches will fall off if you get a sweat either by weather or by work out. 100 degree weather is not good for patches of either kind.

I must take issue with how you describe the effects of hormones: they're effects are rather limited, especially if the subject is older, particularly with regard to the face. Facial hair growth is virtually unaffected, body hair growth is slowed and becomes finer, but will remain faster and coarser than a typical cis female, male pattern hair loss may continue to progress, albeit at a slower pace, facial fat redistribution is subtle at best and if the skull is very sculpted by testosterone on an older trans woman, the effect is negligible, the person will be liable to be seen as a man in feminine clothing. Breast development can be so limited that they don't fill a standard bra size, body fat redistribution may be so slight, it doesn't ease dysphoria, at all in that respect, either, it is a lottery. What about hairline correction surgery, facial feminisation surgery, voice surgery, breast augmentation surgery, hip/thigh silicone injections and last, but not least genital surgery? Any or all of these may be required to achieve a successful transition, it is an extremely gruelling and prohibitively expensive process for most, not to mention the emotional upheaval and distress they can cause as they play havoc with your moods and self esteem. You make it sound like hormones are the elixir of happiness. They are not.

Gel and patches have the same change rate as injections

It's important to say that for mtof transgender patients, hormones will impact fertility but lowering sperm counts and can make you impotent, but it doesn't make you infertile. People shouldn't assume that they can safely have sex without the risk of getting someone pregnant if you are taking hormones.

Jamie, did you see my other reply to you here this afternoon, about an hour ago, in **RAND** 's comment-thread? I've read that the pill-version can be more highly recommended than the injection-version, due to a difference in the stability of hormone levels in the blood, and at your age, you might continue to be very impressed at your progression-rate. Not to worry, you're well on your way, and your love for the truth is laudable. I share your joy! There's NOTHING like the truth; it's amazing!! :). ( I haven't had any videos on this, so I think you're remembering another person, but nonetheless, I'm in your corner. :). )

if neurotransmitters can show your gender, can they be checked to see if im really trans? (im 20 yo and realised i was trans 3 days ago. ill probably wont need an answer to this if i give my personality more thought but im still curious since i want to teach biology)

I take the capuals.

Might want to rephrase that

Arguably, the reason people in the Middle Ages with seizures thought to be possessed by demons, was done through the Roman Catholic church. Hence, this was not science, but religion at the time...and the thinking was that the priest could rid the person of demons, and hence, the seizures.

This video was made a while ago so I probably won't get a response but, I was wondering if anyone knows of a group I could talk to about this. I am 13 and I don't want to come out to my single mom yet because I'm worried she might freak out. About four months ago I made a stupid decision and came out at a really bad time. (I also didn't know the full truth of what I was going threw and my mom did not take it very well) that's why I am asking for people to talk to this about. Thank you for reading.😄

We are to live the truth, not condemn it. When parents love God 's truth, they don't condemn it, they celebrate it and they live it!

However, you can look for resources in your community with the links below. www.impactprogram.org/lgbtq-youth/transgender-101/#sthash.Eq2eBilv.dpbs I would suggest that you search for a PFLAG in your community. www.pflag.org/ Another option would be to look for a local university and find out if they have a pride center or an LGBT center. Here are some other options to get online support: www.reddit.com/r/asktransgender www.lauras-playground.com/ www.susans.org/ Here is a website that may be able to direct you to doctors in your area. www.glma.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=Page.viewPage&pageId=939&grandparentID=534&parentID=938&nodeID=1 This is a good place to start with ongoing support. You will likely connect with people your age, make some friends and mentors. I am sorry, but laws prevent Alexis from working with anyone who is a minor with out the permission of parents so this is all I can really do for you.

The word trans or transgender is an adjective, not a noun. For example "Alexis is a smart person." the incorrect version of that sentence would be "Alexis is a smart." To answer your question about how a Transgender person can have children, the answer is, Just like any other person who wants to have children. They either have sex, IVF, find a surrogate, or adoption. Thank you for the question.
