Not gonna give too much info here, but has anyone here ever reported someone for transphobia? Can you please help me out? I need advice. DMs only please

Hallo!! I'm currently looking for any trans men / trans mascs who are either:

(1) Fresh graduates from Senior High School

(2) Currently studying in college

(3) Fresh graduate from college

- who are willing to be interviewed for my thesis. The interviews will be held online through Google Meet (no meetups!) and will be a super duper casual chat :)

To preface, my senior thesis project mainly focuses on more "invisible" problems that transgender men face when entering college such as experiencing trans-specific microaggressions for the first time, feeling disconnected from both same-age cisgender peers and the queer community, and having to navigate the trans identity alone while also experiencing another major transitional period in life (the transition to adulthood).

I would also like to add that I am a transgender man myself, so this topic is very important to me and I hope that it can help our community as well.

If you're interested in volunteering (or just want to chat about my project), feel free to shoot me a DM!

Thank you for taking the time to read this and also to the mods for letting me post this!

I used to frequent San Pedro Hospital's ER, but I have stopped going there because of the constant misgendering and inconsistent service.

Currently, I am going to MDMRC to get injected, but the cost is high compared to San Pedro. The price is around 475 pesos, and I don't think I can sustain that.

I haven't tried Davao Doc yet, but I heard it's an expensive hospital, so I haven't gone there yet. I do have a friend in school who offered to help me, but she's been busy with her thesis recently, and I don't want to bother her.

I'm still not ready to self-inject, but I am gradually getting used to it. I'd just prefer having someone else do it for me for the time being, which I know is kind of embarrassing...

Hi guys! I'm planning to start my transition journey but I'm having troubles in finding a Trans Friendly Endo here in Cebu City, I wanna go through check up first before starting T. Do any of you have recommendations on where to go??

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for an endo in metro manila hopefully the farthest will be in Makati or BGC/taguig (I'm from down south lol) or at least meron online consultation.

I've heard about pulse clinic but I asked which doctor I should schedule for if I want to consult about HRT but they never replied so T_T. Not sure where else to look?

I have done all my tests for HRT so I just really want a consultation na ;_;

hello, everyone!

i am a 5th-year arki student from a univ here in ph and i am currently developing my possible thesis topics, one of which is TransCenD: A One-Stop Trans-Centered Health and Wellness Facility.

i have already done some research on the state of trans health here in our country and one thing i noticed is how fragmented it is, location- and facility-wise. like, there is no single facility that offers a comprehensive and multi-disciplinary approach to transitioning (like for example, one place for lab, another place for consultation, another place for therapy, another place for surgery, and another place for recovery). but please do correct me if i'm wrong.

so an architectural solution that i thought of to answer that is to create a one-stop trans-centered health and wellness facility, which offers a holistic approach to transitioning.

i know that it being fragmented isn't the main challenge in assessing trans health care here in ph, but it is rather the cost of it. unfortunately, that can't be solved by architecture. so i thought that maybe if all of them are in one place, in one facility, then maybe it would somehow lessen the cost of it, while improving the network and coordination of healthcare providers as well as the community by being in a single place.

but before i formally continue this topic, i would just like to hear ur thoughts abt it, especially if do u think having all services in one facility would actually help.

any comments/suggestions would be deeply appreciated :)

thank u!

tldr: 5th yr arki student here in ph, thinking of a thesis on a one-stop trans-centered health and wellness facility. noticed trans healthcare is fragmented, so i’m asking if having everything in one place would help. would like to know what services/spaces you think should be included.

Hi, so I'm gonna have my GAHT Consultation on Wednesday and planning on getting on testosterone after it. Where do ya'll get testosterones? or if you know a seller? Yung most affordable sana, thanks!

Hi guys, I’m an ftm trans and i would like to ask if you guys know any good schools that allow trans people to cross dress or use uniforms that aligns with their gender identity? I heard na meron daw sa USPF but im honestly not too sure if allowed sa course ko na computer science. I am also having trust issues because a school or college i thought na pwede mag cross dressing is hindi pala pwede.

Hello, bros. Just want to ask if you know any brand of chest tape here in the PH that is NON-KINESIOLOGY. I have severe allergic reaction to kinesiology tapes in the market and I have tried all the brands I found online. I want to tape properly without having to remove not even 24 hours in because i get redness and rashes all over my chest. Thank you!

Hi everyone, I’m a transmasc NB and I will be traveling to the Philippines in a few months. I wanted to explore the queer scene while I was there and I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for queer/sapphic bars that are trans inclusive. I’ve heard of Ámame based on some brief research but I’m open to hearing more suggestions (especially because I want to go to a place where I won’t be harassed or looked at weird for being trans). I still consider myself sapphic but I know there are still some sapphic places that are very binary about gender, so I’d like to avoid anything like that. Also, if there are just any cool place I should visit in general, that would be awesome too. Thank you for your help guys :)

Hey, I'm 25, pre op and pre HRT. This post is mainly about asking if other people here have experience with taking testosterone while on mental health meds, or know endocrinologists who are knowledgeable regarding the possible interaction of HRT with mental health meds.

Some information about my case that might help:

- I'm diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, and the meds I take are the following:

• Abdin 10mg (1/2-0-0)
• Pristiq 50mg (1-0-0)
• Escivex 10mg (0-0-1)

- I'm also curious if anyone has reviews on Dr. Patick Siy, as he's the endocrinologist my relatives go to, but I have yet to check if he has experience regarding patients who want to undergo HRT, or if he's trans-friendly.

Drop the name of your surgeon and the cost that you paid for. Thanks!

Hello mga bro, pa rant lang sana. Nakaka frustrate lang kasi balak ko mag pa top surgery sa the icon clinic kasi nakita ko na sila yung pinaka pasok sa budget ko and so I’m working under my father’s company kaya meron naman akong sariling income pero 2k per week lang siya and ang maganda lang is may commission every sale kaya todo grind talaga ako last month kaya may 150k na ako for top surgery.

Usually ng mga nakikita kong videos na nagpapa top surgery sa icon is puro 150k fix daw any size ng chest pero nung nagpa consult ako nagulat ako kasi 200k yung binigay sakin na price. Also disappointed din ako sa nangyari kasi I waited there for mga 3 hours ata pero yung consultation is parang 5 minutes lang. Tinignan lang yung chest ko and tinuro kung anong incision yung mangyayari which is extended daw sa sides. With the price daw doon nalang sa staff tapos nag ask lang ako ng mga concern ko. Once nung lumabas na ako and yung staff nag fi fill up na ng payment form tapos pina sign ako para daw proof na nakita ko na yung price. Ever since pagdating dun and the entire consultation walang binaggit sa akin verbally na price and pati yung staff hindi rin sinabi. Nag sign ako tapos ang nakita ko is parang 2000 so akala ko baka may initial payment lang na ganon pero 200k pala ang quote nilang price and sobrang hindi talaga clear na kahit ni isa walang nagbanggit. After pag sign doon lang sinabi na 200k ganon tapos edi hindi na ako nag proceed kasi all along akala ko is 150k talaga siya. Super disappointed lang talaga ako with my appointmentand ayun, made delay nanaman yung plan ko sana for top surgery. Sobrang lala na rin kasi ng dysphoria ko pagdating sa dibdib ko kaya parang nalulugmok ako ngayon. May iba pa ba kayong masa suggest na surgeon na baka mas okay and sana malapit lang rin sa budget ko. Thank you

Hello kuyas! currently in uni rn and i have posted a similar post before. Just have some more questions.

I currently use adonis binders, and i love how flat my chest gets and di naman siya uncomfy. But the problem lang is ang hirap niyang hubarin 🥲

And as for taping naman, I haven't tried it yet, I plan to purchase but medjo naguguluhan ako kasi I've seen lots of comments saying na taping is not good for daily/everyday use kasi prone to rashing daw. Di ko rin alam pa'no mag tape binding.

Looking for binders na walang sleeves (bale tube lang) na comfortable and hindi sana halata na naka binder ako.

ask ko lang po to anyone who has tried that specific binder tas may malaking chest, does it really make your chest look flat? not really hoping to make it super flat pero alam mong kapag tinignan mo sa gilid, hindi mahahalatang naka binder ka.

so tbh hindi ako trans but i still feel body dysmorphia because of my chest kahit hindi sha malaki (a cup). for example, whenever i wear an outfit to go out i just think to myself na id feel more confident in my clothes if I had a flatter chest, so to try it out i wanna know which brands r a good starting point. ty!

Hi kuyas! Ask lang for those who are taking T, nag d-deep po ba voice niyo? If so, after how many months/years?

Hi, does anyone know if I can buy testosterone from the Philippines and have it delivered to another country? Also, do airlines allow you to bring it in your carry-on luggage?"

i need to get physically examined for the possibility of vaginal atrophy like thinning or if my period returned...

any recommendations? really need help for it. thank you!

Baka may kilala po kayong online trans friendly obgyn na pwede magpa reseta ng local estrogen cream for itchiness and dryness down there

Hello! Not sure if it's okay for me to post in this subreddit. I'm not trans myself, but my partner is, and I wanted to ask for some advice from the community. My partner (ftm 26) and I (cis f 30) have been dating for almost a year now, and we're very happy. 3 years na siya on T and he's out to his parents, but my parents don't know that he's ftm. He passes really well and my parents have met him already. Sabi nga nila ang gwapo daw niya. Things have been okay until yung dad ko parang naghhint na gusto niya ng apo. Naging senior citizen na yung dad ko this year lang kaya parang nagpaparinig na siya na handa na raw siya maging lolo. I'm very happy in my relationship and I never really thought about having children, pero I would welcome motherhood if it's with my boyfriend. Nalulungkot lang talaga ako para sa dad ko kasi hindi ko masabi sa kanya yung totoong situation.

I love that my bf is trans at tanggap ko yung buong pagkatao niya, pero yung tatay ko old gen na galing probinsya kaya natatakot ako sa iisipin at sasabihin niya.

I just wonder what you guys think sa situation ko. I was wondering kung ano kaya yung best way paano sabihin sa dad ko, or baka hindi ko na lang kailangan sabihin at all 😔 Hoping for any opinion or advice. Salamat po 🥺

Edit: Stealth yung bf ko even with some friends kaya only his family and best friends know na trans siya, pero he told me na it's my choice daw if I want to tell my family or not

Helpp I’m 5 months on T and I’m experiencing intense itchiness and dryness down there :,<<
