I’ll be answering questions as long as you’re all asking them, even if you totally thread necro and comment in weeks or months.
NSFW questions are allowed, I’ll flag the thread NSFW if I get them.
Got nothing to add except Hell Yeah 😎
how to become as cool as you
You are extremely cool. Trauma or flashy life events don’t make someone cool. What’s cool is what’s inside. And what’s inside you is a great sense of humour!
:meow-hug: thank you comrade for the kind words
Has it been difficult to find medical professionals who are competent and compassionate?
Unbelievably difficult, actually. I’ve had a lot of issues with gatekeeping and just generally doctors having no idea what they’re even looking at. A few years back, a doctor described an MRI of my torso as “like looking at an alien,” which I still think is absolutely batshit insane.
My heart condition was likely exacerbated to a point that it became a problem after getting put on Strattera for ADHD as a kid, and nobody seemed to wonder if there might be other reasons why it remained a significant problem after I stopped taking it. Nobody looked into why I had osteoporosis as a child, either. And both of my parents are doctors, so you’d think they’d know better.
The actual solution to pretty much all my problems was Hormone Replacement Therapy, like trans women get. I had basically no hormones in my system at all, which was the primary driver for my health issues.
