Since my last post I have been rereading your (Bryony and PansyMae) which I find very interesting and relevant. It does seem that we do need some way of expressing our feminine side but clothing does not do it for me, and my original solution, to resolve the concerns that affected my work to the extent of nearly getting me thrown out of university, was misconceived and dangerous and in retrospect fairly repellent (but quite effective in its way). On another issue, I would be delighted if BS (an unfortunate acronym?) and maca could restore my own male functionality, but it might have an uphill battle against the spiro and other meds. If I get taken off spiro, I might try them down the road. In the meanwhile we are both losing weight but it seems to be more wearing on J. than myself.

Incidentally, when J. went off HRT some years ago and subsequently threw out the remaining pills, I rescued them and although I knew there wasn't enough estradiol left to achieve anything, I tried taking them with a initial dose of eight pills (4mg) and then four pills (2mg) daily until they quickly ran out, to see whether they would make me feel different. They didn't, but it was after that that In had my first go at NBE. The medroxy progesterone seemed on investigation to be a dubious idea so I left it alone.
