Going on Injectables
I’m seriously considering switching from gel to Injectables. The gel is great and I’ve been seeing results but I need to save my money and being on IM Injections will save me about $120 over the course of three months. I’m apprehensive to inject myself, I’m pretty good with needles and I’ve certainly gotten better with this Lupron shot every month, but injecting myself is slightly different. My doctor is out of her office for another few days, but I hope she calls me back with some good news about agreeing to switch. My previous doc was 1000% against injections, but I think this will be easier for me if I can get over sticking myself. Any good words of advice?

Hard to believe it’s been almost a year.

this is amazing.An Exciting New iPhone App for Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming Folks!
Planned Parenthood of the Southern Finger Lakes’ LGBT Health and Wellness Project, Out for Health, is pleased to present their Pee in Peace App! This app is designed to help transgender, gender non-conforming, and other individuals who do not readily fit into expected and conventional norms of gender presentation, easily locate single stall or gender neutral bathrooms in Ithaca, New York!
The idea for this app came about after a survey conducted by the San Francisco Human Rights Commission found that nearly 50% of respondents reported having been harassed or assaulted in a public bathroom. Because of this, many transgender people avoid public bathrooms altogether and can develop health problems as a result. It has become Out for Health’s commitment to work toward removing the barriers to accessing safe bathrooms.

For anyone who needs quick and easy access to a private bathroom - from caregivers for people of a different sex, to anyone who just prefers a private place, and especially for transgender and gender non-conforming people who may have a specific need for safe and private restrooms. Everyone deserves a place to pee in peace, right here in Ithaca, New York.Features:
