  • ‘Bitter result’ for Friedrich Merz as Greens win in German car heartland

  • Huh. Where does its voter base then come from?

  • Call me stupid (and you'd be justified for calling me so!), but I feel like it's a good thing if BSW is there in that it snoops votes away from people who otherwise vote AfD. They're both terrible, but BSW at least tries to fight privatisation where AfD puts everything into the hands of unelected profit-motivated tech moguls.

    That said, I'd take the SDP, Grünen and Linke over those anyday.

  • The Reps tried that strategy in the 1980s and ever since got seized by the fascists. It always starts with business and reactionary people and ends in fascism.

    You can't defeat the Democrats by going fascist - you then will destroy democracy and business. Only by going left and centre, can one improve life.

  • CDU/CSU (Union) I'd compare to the Rockefeller Republicans, though nowadays with an icky nationalistic tint.

    SPD is what Bernie would claim to be, but doesn't encapsulate what Bernie is, having sold out sometimes to neolibs. Bernie is what the SPD would've been, had it held its head straight.

    Linke can be comparable to the DSA (Democratic Socialists USA).

    FDP - Establishment Democrats

    AfD - what you said, MAGA

    Bundnis - What MAGAhats think communists are

  • I looked into the history of one of the users that constantly posts anti-EU content and it seems like I landed here. Thanks for confirming, I suspect they're an US agent. Blocked them.

  • Spain’s position in the war against Iran is hypocritical and unjustified

    Jump

  • You haven't replied to whether it is hypocritical to oppose a fascist warmongerer invade a country.

    Edit: I looked into OP's user history, and it's giving me astroturfing vibes. Blocked them.

  • Ah, so yet another US "privatise it all, break down trust in democracy, then establish police state" person who also plagiarises.

  • Nothing is hypocritical; a warmongering fascist nation declaring war against another country, that is the problem.

    Spain takes an ethical stance in that regard.

  • Ahh, I do all three at once a day. I use Lenzetto 1.53 mg/dose. No, I kind of variate, I've a bit of an irregular mind. A few months ago I used to do it more consistently between 18-20 o' clock, but it's a bit more erratic now.

    How about for now, until I switch to gel/needles, I'll try 4 spritzes, 2 around 7:30, and 2 around 19:30?

  • I used to find needles really scary but have grown to get a bit more used to them. I still don't like them, but maybe I should consider them.

    Thanks for the guide! I will def try this out if I'm going for needles. My GP is really chill so if I'll do needles, I'll ask him to supervise the first try.

  • I usually do it around 18-22 o' clock. The blood test was at 12 the next day.

  • They actually upped my dose from two to three before, but somehow the levels are lower, which I don't know why.

    Maybe it's the measurement time, but that should generally not affect too much, no?

  • Yep, this sucks. At least T is suppressed fairly well. Go boobs and hips!

    I'm also considering other methods in case, like injections that you rec'd. Which injection method should I Iook for, in those cases?

    Injections aren't available via the official route here (only gel, spray, pills, and patches afaik), but have to be DIY'd.

  • So, I've done a blood test a few days ago, got the outcome. I think @will_steal_your_username@lemmy.blahaj.zone would be interested to hear about this.

    I'm posting it publicly and transparently so if others have similar issues, they can see whether it might be the same underlying issue.

    Total T is in nmol/L; free T and E are in pmol/L. Pre-HRT was 2 weeks before starting. The (almost) 1 year-mark is from a few days ago.

    Situation - Total T - Free T - EstradiolPre-HRT: 15.8 - 358.9 - 1255 mo: 0.978 - 30.5 - 1751 year: 0.223 - 4.8 - <91.8

    Other hormones haven't changed much. I had a little prolactin before, SHBG went from 25 to 10 to 25, strangely, but that's all.

    This confirms my suspicions: somehow, despite upping my E doses to three, I have lower E. Far too low, even. I don't think even upping to 4 doses will work for the Lenzetto spray, so I'll plan on switching to gel. Or maybe I should consider DIY'ing needles after all...

    Now, I had the blood test in the midday, and I usually take E in the late evening. So my levels may have been a bit lower, but still.

    Conclusion: T sufficently nuked and at cis woman levels, but E needs to be amped by a ton. This also explains why my tits havent grown enough >:(
