Even independent LGBT orgs have immediately given up on supporting trans people, just from the threat of the loss of federal funding. It's sickening

Yeah it's tough out here for folks. I'm just waiting for when they're going to stop covering my gender affirming care. Nothing yet, but it is inevitable. Your BIL is lucky to have you. I hope he's able to get the help that he needs <3

This is a really dark thing to say and I might delete it if it's too off base, but as a vet that decidedly does not support trump, I wonder if the ones that don't are too suicidal

It fucking does not and does everything in its power to stop kids from transitioning. No kid can just show up somewhere and be given hormones. No one is profiting off of selling hormones. They are dirt cheap. You're clearly getting your talking points from right wing media, maybe go listen to what actual trans kids have to say about their experiences and kindly shut the fuck up

Ah, that makes sense

He was also a horrible anti-semite

I'm surprised they even want to admit that it's real

It wasn't commodified nearly to the extent it is now, so a large portion of it existed merely because of people's passion. There were no super sites of information like reddit, so people would create their own websites and forums dedicated to one subject. Forums still had their arguments, but it wasn't nearly as vitriolic as social media is now. Search really, really sucked until Google came along. Slow as balls.

Holy shit just like an LLM

Just make sure he doesn't pull a fast one and send you to a conversion therapist

 

I have an upcoming appointment for an FFS consultation and was wondering if there are any questions y'all recommend asking 🙂

 

This is mainly for the women here who've had GRS/orchi, but if you experience these then be sure to see your doctor either way ~

symptoms of menopause


Please don't judge my story too harshly I have terrible mental health lol.

I got an orchi some time ago and when my hormones were tested shortly after, my estrogen was about double what it should be so my endocrinologist reduced my estradiol dosage by half. Shortly after I started experiencing some of what I would later learn are menopause symptoms. I thought they were my body getting used to the changes from the operation and just soldiered through them. By the time I saw my endocrinologist six months later they had become much worse and were pretty severely impacting my quality of life.

I'm on a higher dose now and I'm sad to say for me it is not an instant fix. A week later and I'm still experiencing issues so if anyone knows generally how long it takes symptoms to resolve I'd love to know lol. I'm mad/disappointed in myself for letting things get as bad as they have and worried that they won't get better. I appreciate y'all reading <3
