3, 4, 5 and 11.

Not sure about 1 as we run it on our tablet so it definetly can be linked to other devices but we aren't sure how many.

7 can be done by linking devices, so not sure what is meant by this.

Edit: ah, okay, so seems the Signal app itself cannot be linked to multiple Android devices, including tablets, that's pretty bad. The Molly fork can work as a linked devices though, however Signal only supports linking 5 devices at the same time.

Yup, all the 'more private' ones like SimpleX or Session don't have as many features and are have pretty suspicious funding sources (or involved in crypto).

WhatsApp might be private but there's no way to be 100% sure, since it's closed source and can leak some messages in reports which is intentional.

Yes and no about Signal supporting multiple Android devices, the Molly fork might be able to if you set it up as a linked device, and we know that apple tablets can be linked in the actual Signal app.

Matrix should not be considered as their security has been pretty bad until recently (they intentionally shipped bad code and knew about it for years): https://soatok.blog/2024/08/14/security-issues-in-matrixs-olm-library/ and many clients still use that bad code.

Threema has been pretty bad historically: https://soatok.blog/2021/11/05/threema-three-strikes-youre-out and their desktop offering is not one-to-one with the mobile apps, it's pretty limited in what it can do and has to have a device connected to the network at all times, open on the app and unlocked with the screen on.

The only thing that fits most of your needs is Signal, we have looked into this heavily and nothing has as many features, is as easy to use as and has a strong of focus on privacy and security as Signal, so it's either that or Whatsapp.

You can techically use signal on multiple devices, by linking them instead of setting them up as each their own 'host', if you want it on multiple phones or multiple android devices you'll likely have to use Molly, I believe this would work, but am unsure.

Matrix should not be considered because of this:

and Threema is pretty bad historically ( https://soatok.blog/2021/11/05/threema-three-strikes-youre-out/ ), even though they have improved in the last year or two, but their desktop offering is pretty awful, as unless you want to use the beta and use iOS then you have to keep your device attached to the network, on and open on Threema only.

Signal really is the only option here.

We would not recommend Matrix for security considering the recently admitted their old encryption code was bad and a lot of clients are still using their old encryption code:

Thanks!

Our E seemed pretty high before (on 200mcg daily) so we're guessing the bioavaliability was fine but perhaps.

We can maybe get sublingual, but injections are out of the question as one of us has a fear of needles so couldn't do it ourselves and the one GP surgery we're legally allowed to go to, (we have weird rules in the UK) are pretty useless in this area because they have no easy way to be contacted and when they are they keep wanting information and so we send them the information via the one email address they are allowed to be contacted via (this GP surgery is really bad for communication) and then they ask us to physically bring in the information we have already sent them and we don't understand why. Family are somewhat transphobic, so we doubt they'd help and we don't really have friends we could see regularly enough.

Gender GP which is a business are the only effective way for us to get all the hormones we need at the moment but as we said, they are pretty bad at communicating, hopefully the GIC (Gender Identity Clinic) contacts us but they're overworked and have a longgggggg waiting list, so not much of a chance there, the only other thing we could do is go DIY but as might be seen from our post we need someone to liase with and to keep us safe since we don't know how to interpret the results ourselves.

We really appreciate the information though.

We could try talking to the local doctors again but considering how they soft ignore our requests (they talk to us and then do nothing with the information we give them) we don't hold out much hope.

No, we edited the original post to explain what the problem was, but basically posts in an 'NSFW' community inherit the 'NSFW'ness even if they themselves aren't marked that way and we had those show 'NSFW' posts set to not display.

So we turned it on and all could be seen.

They are so good!

Yes, we think we should pay but in the sense that we should put more money into non venture capitalist and non shareholder backed, non-commercial, open source and privacy-focused sites and services etc, and forgo the commercial sites and services that think they need to erode our privacy in the first place.

Never mind, we figured it out.

Nope, weirdly.

We know some fox girls, sadly none of us are.
