Halima is actually good trans rep and I will die on that hill, regardless of the fact that Robert Jordan didn’t know what a trans person was when he wrote her. Yes, she is reincarnated in a woman’s body as a ‘punishment’ for failure, but she ends up liking it quite a bit, is able to explore parts of her sexuality she wasn’t able to before, and most importantly, she is an example of a woman channelling saidin. When her cover is blown in the war camp, they don’t accuse her of being a man, they just recognize that she is a woman channelling saidin, and respond accordingly, like this is something they have seen before. The rest of the forsaken treat her as if she legit just transitioned and aren’t really weird about it at all. It’s actually super crazy how well it’s handled. I’ve never heard another trans person complain about how Halima is bad trans rep, only well meaning cis people who don’t have the first hand experience to know that she actually kinda rocks. That, or maybe I’m just so starved for good representation that she is good in comparison to everything else. Probably some combination of both.

As a massive dweeb and fan of the books, I can’t even force myself to watch the third season, the season 2 finale left such a bad taste on my mouth. Like they straight up aren’t even trying to adapt the plot of the books. Also, Robert Jordan accidentally wrote a trans character (who I personally really like) and if the show does get that far, I’m sure they will somehow handle it worse than a guy in the 90s who didn’t even know what a trans person was.

Ah well, nevertheless

Fatigue from low testosterone is a well studied thing, in cisgender women, and usually happens when T is even below adrenal levels. Now, your serum levels are not below adrenal levels, however, you are ALSO talking a receptor site blocker (Spiro) despite your T being well within cis female range. If I was you doctor (I’m not your doctor so this isn’t medical advice, buuuuut, I do know what I’m talking about) I would get you off Spiro entirely, monitor your T levels afterwards, and if they remain at cis female levels, you should be golden and your low T related fatigue should be solved as well.

Yeah there is no east way (yet) of controlling how your gonads respond to exogenous hormones, you can potentially eyeball the amount of gonadal suppression happening by simply lowering the dosage of e untill your t starts going up, but even then that’s hard to keep stable long term. The short answer is, if you want normal levels of E and also higher than adrenal levels of T, you are going to need to get your T exogenously as well.

Also, I’m not your doctor or your mom so I’m not going to tell you what to do, but high levels of both androgens and estrogens probably isn’t healthy long term :/

SPIRO DOES NOT LOWER SERUM LEVELS OF ANDROGENS. IT IS A RECEPTOR SITE BLOCKER!!! It actually drives me INSANE that fucking DOCTORS do not know this… Your low serum levels of testosterone are due to gonadal suppression from exogenous sex hormones (in your case, estrogen). It being that low is completely normal and healthy in case you are curious. Idk what your goals are tho so

Very liberal

HARDCORE TO ZE MEGA

Just noticed halfway through the workday that I definitely forgot to shave this morning 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃 Ah well, guess it’s trans day of visibility 2… being stealth was lame anyways 🙂

Yeah the whole concept of the “paraplegic universe” in Deaths End is so fucking good. And by good I mean bone chillingly terrifying.

Oh I handle receipts all day and have for years… so what cancer will I die from and when? 😂
