it sounds like you're on a perpetual seesaw with pm and GD.

I know. Not quite sure how I'll handle things if I'm forced to abandon PM altogether.

Out of curiosity, how much is too much pm for you? When you take an excess of pm, I'm wondering if it isn't the pm pushing you to transition, but rather your body becomes insensitive towards it and thus you're essentially back to a point where your system isn't processing any pm.

Anything over 3000mg/day puts me "over the edge." For most of my time on PM I've been sticking around 1500. I think that anything less than 1000 would probably not be enough to keep the GD at bay.

Even at my highest dose of pm (4,000 mg), I never felt the need to transition. If anything, I suspect the potential influence of a higher dose as manifesting itself as me having less concern for straying outside of gender norms. Perhaps it's no coincidence that my modus operandi for crossdressing and fulfilling my feminine pursuits both behave remarkably the same, as in usually acting subtle and in its own manner and time?

I can't really say -- PM, it seems, effects us all in differing degrees. I find it interesting that I have developed as much breast tissue as I have on less PM than a lot of others here, in fact I have developed larger breasts than a lot of TGs do on pharma HRT. I know a lot of it is dependent on genetics, but I also believe that I am extremely sensitive to the PM.

I took the pencil test the other day... and I passed...
