We went through Legacy. They partnered with a service called Splitit and they technically handle the payments but all of it was taken care of through the Legacy platform ❤️

Hi! Depends on where you live, but I live in the US and this is what I ended up doing.

My Endo recommended a service called Legacy for storage. She told me most of her patients have gone with them and although none to date have withdrawn their samples yet, everyone has had positive experiences with the deposit.

They’re an at home service, meaning they send you a kit in the mail. The kit included a cup for the sample, some mixing (think powdered cheese for microwavable Mac n cheese) to stabilize the sample and very strict instructions to make sure to have the sample dropped off or picked up by a mail carrier same day of producing the sample.

I did two deposits about a week apart from each other. They analyzed both samples for viability, STDs and even how a small portion of the sample handled being frozen and then thawed.

I even had the ability to use my true name in their system and the only place I needed to use my legal name was on the sample cup itself.

They’re going to store my sperm for 5 years. And the entire process cost my wife and I $1200 for collection, analysis and storage. We pay monthly payments of $100 with no interest.

Honestly very smooth process and I have no complaints.

Let me know if you have follow up questions :)

Proud of you dude! Seriously. Like I said waaaaaay back when we first met, you are the definition of what a good man is. Happy to know the changes you are experiencing have been pushing you in the right direction.

And I feel a lot of the same sentiments about my journey just in the opposite direction :3

It warms my heart to hear you are doing well and transition has been so helpful for you.

Especially with self image ❤️ as you know, I take a lot of selfies now 🤦🏻‍♀️ when I was so adverse to them before. And seeing photos of the person I was before, there isn’t a single thing I recognize in him except for complete despair in his eyes. Now I’m full of life and so happy to be sharing this journey with my friends like you :)

Couldn’t agree more with you on this point. I have worries as I think many of us do that this wasn’t actually right for me and I’ve permanently altered my body in a way that is def not gender conforming (aka I have boobs now)

But when I take a step back and think of how I felt before, and how I feel now. It’s so contest. I found self love after searching for 30 years because of transitioning, especially medically.

It’s cliche to say at this point, but HRT saved my life and now I can enjoy my moments with my son ❤️

Thank you 🥺

Interested ☺️

For me, chemical x was testosterone.

It gave me dysphoria instead of super powers 😔

As a witchy inspired trans woman, I couldn’t agree more :D

It’s legit magic.

Honestly, I find it so empowering that we are able to sculpt our bodies into what we need them to be. It amazes me.

Hi Mr. Mod. :)

Or in your native tongue, howdy.

Amazon :P I suggest the biggest size WITHOUT a blanket. Because without the blanket inside the shark, she gets a little flat. So I chose one without and she’s the perfect spooning size ❤️

Can’t argue with that :P lol

It’s scratching at my brain but I can’t quite figure it out.

Hmm. Could we get the artist’s name?

Isn’t that “convenient” for you. 😜

That is… Exactly what that was. Wow, thank you for putting words to the feelings I was having. Still working on identifying and understanding my emotions, haha.

Thank you for your insight! It really helped me ❤️

I can’t say where Erin is pulling the pride flags bit from. Ive found this about Florida wanting to ban pride flags from government buildings and schools.

🤷🏻‍♀️

Thank you! That was driving me nuts.

Congrats hun! I’m actually right there with you. Started my journey on 2/9 so seeing your experience helps put mine in perspective.

The mental changes are spot on for me! Although the first week I had a couple episodes of vulnerable insecurity. This week I’m a lot more calm and able to enjoy life better. Almost like my baseline happiness has been increased.

Hope to continue to see your posts :)

It doesn’t appear in the letter, but is mentioned in the article. The letter also states that there are “more” policies that need to be defunded.

These policies encompass bans on pride flags, prohibitions on insurance coverage, restrictions on DEI programs, and even the defunding of children’s hospitals that offer gender-affirming care.

A ban on pride flags? Really? You’re scared of some fabric or colors?

Grow up and mind your damn business. We’re just trying to live our own lives. Fuck
