It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Jade?

But no, I've been putting my estradiol under the upper lips for about six months now and my boobs have gone from A cup to C cup and honestly it's kind of annoying that I actually notice them now. Don't get me wrong, great, big fan, but if they grow any more I will start to get pissed.

Wait? Does it really matter whether you place it in your upper lip or not? I always let them dissolve under my tongue. I'm super afraid of being stuck in the itty bitty titty committee.

I found it out from a tgirl named Jade with huge honkers. Yeah, if you put your estradiol pills in your upper lip by the frenulum they'll dissolve into your blood just the same over a long period of time BUT you won't accidentally introduce saliva when you talk or open your mouth. I pop one estradiol pill in there in the morning and two at night on either side of the frenulum, the morning one comes out if I'm doing alot with my mouth for some reason, but the night time ones will stay in all night and dissolve. In the mornings you may wake up with some crusted estradiol on the edge of your lips and your teeth being a little blue; but I just think of it as a reminder to brush my teeth. Absorption has been way greater!

I'll have to try it out. My doctor thinks it's time to move to the patch, but I still have three more months of estradiol so I'll try it out. I'm at A right now, but unless I lose a lot of weight quickly, I really get dysphoric if it just looks like I have moobs.

I switched off to injections from pills about 5 months ago and I had a nice growth spurt after having done so. I'm coming up on 19 months HRT. Just a mention in case you were also considering injections.

I am but there's been a shortage in my state (probably cause we're the best state for trans health and rights, and I know tons of trans folks moving here for those reasons). So I get to slap on three patches once a week. It seems like the tablets may be causing me to have worse stomach issues, especially since I need to take tons of Iron cause I basically have no iron in my blood, despite being an off again on again bloodmouth.
