teenage transmedicalists in my recommendations like, boy youre like 16 and youre letting adults grab you by your own dysphoria like its a dog collar just to make you bark bullshit at people they dont like.

theyre using you, you gotta know this. theyre exploiting the fact that youre hurting to make you lash out at ppl who just wanna live their fucking lives true to themselves. youre not more #Woke just because you think pills and surgeries make or break someone’s trans identity.

ugh the concern-trolling shits in the comments of that post being all like β€˜self-medding is dangerous!’ like that isn’t the message blasted at massive volume from every source if you do any kind of research whatsoever into self-medding

if you’re really so fucking concerned about the wellbeing of people who are self-medding hrt, end the absurd eugenic gatekeeping system of gender β€˜care’ and fight to make it so that you can get HRT from your GP on an informed-consent basis without waiting years or having to carefully line up the right story for a succession of psychiatrists and doctors, and give GPs the guidance and training to do bloods without having to write a letter to the GIC for every single thing. or, if you prefer, some other way to get good quality, well-monitored HRT into the hands of trans people as soon as we need it.

but if you’re not going to fight for that, you don’t actually give a shit about trans peoples’ health, so shut the fuck up and spare us the noise when we do what we have to to survive this shit.
