   Do testosterone patches (for trans people going through hormone therapy) even exist or have I peen punkd by google's shitty AI ad campaign of fake media?

   Someone PLEASE enlighten me and share this so i could find some answers. It would be nice to know if that is a real alternative or not, because the gel is right pain to deal with and injections are 9 months in the future. (:

     I have no idea, but I'll ask my doctor once my 3 months appointment comes.

     The gel is massive hassle, and so are the needles since I'd need to go get sticked ever so often (you can't do yourself in Finland for some reason...), which would get expensive.

     I'll update one day when I know more. (:

     @hiisikoloart i've wondered this too - we have estrogen patches, are there npt equivalent ones for testosterone? I only hear talk about gel and injections most of the time, not oral or patches, which seems weird. Are these a thing? Is there a strong biological reason not to or just hasn't been prioritized?

     @hiisikoloart @JoscelynTransient if anyone knows somewhere in Europe that has pellet implants available please let me know, btw, I don't want to have to go to the US for them

     @hiisikoloart @JoscelynTransient my understanding is that they last for 4-8 months, which is definitely appealing

     I have never heard of those, but I'll ad that to my "ask doctor"-list. (^_^) Thanks for adding it!
