You don't have to be prescribed estrogen to have bloodwork done! I definitely think you should seek it out if you go the DIY route.
OP's not asking for advice on what to do with her therapist, she's asking for advice regarding DIY HRT. IMO it's not really our place to question why she might make that choice for herself.
I'd definitely recommend reading through diyhrt.wiki's page for transfems. I doubt you'll find a better source of info online.
I hope things go smoothly with your therapist! Best of luck to you :)
Blaming your fellow queers for your oppression, that's so incredibly lame.
I'm sure you are the perfect expression of queerness, and if every gay were like you, the bigots would stop hating us. /s
Like what are you even proposing? That in order to be an effective queer activist, you need to be okay with misgendering? I feel your rage, but please direct it towards the fascists taking away our rights instead of bashing other queers. This kind of community in-fighting in what the bigots want, we need queer solidarity right now.
I've tried searching for "person-independent neopronouns" and failed to find any results.
Care to explain how this is different than referring to one's self in the third person? Because I'll be honest, I have a hard time wrapping my head around this.
My respect isn't conditional to my understanding, but I feel I could respect better if I understood more.
It's extra fun when you're bisexual and non-binary!
Most expressions of attraction towards me are from "straight" drunk guys telling me I'm cute "for a guy" 😅
The message stated that most Harrisburg Pride members do not use pronouns
It always kills me when these people seem to think a basic feature of language is some form of woke leftist plot conjured up by the queers.
I'll be honest, I just went into the comments of one of those reddit links and scrolled down until I saw someone share the artist's name :P
The government said it welcomed the "landmark decision", adding it would help ensure care is based on evidence and is in the "best interests of the child".
It's truly insulting that they even dare suggest that this is in the best interests of trans kids, or that it's based on any evidence. Puberty blockers save lives.
It follows a public consultation on the issue
Since when is public opinion relevant for the availability of healthcare? Can we have expert opinions, please?
The review followed a sharp rise in referrals to the Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS)
"More people need this treatment than ever before! Better completely cut off access to it!" is such a malicious position to take. I actually don't understand how these transphobic fucks can be so callous and insensitive.
This is unrelated but I absolutely love your username.
Glad to hear you're making yourself comfortable being you 😊
I'm actually friends with one of queens mentioned in the article! These people are honestly so brave, every drag queen I know has received so many death threats in the past two years.
Last year, a couple of local queens I know were hosting a music festival, and a man was overheard heading into the venue saying "if those fucking f*gs come out on stage I'm leaving to get my gun". Thankfully he was arrested, but talk about terrifying. And yet these queens keep on fighting publicly for what's right.
