Long story short I have PCOS apparently. That means high testosterone. Why am I sharing this? I just think it’s fucking shitty that I as an AFAB person can get feminizing hormone therapy after as little as a blood test, but if I was a trans woman or man, or if I wanted hormone therapy to affirm my being non-binary, I would most likely have to jump through all sorts of hoops.
Anyway maybe I’m just pissy because going to the doctor always reminds me that most people see me as a just a butch woman. Feeling shitty and dysphoric.
You’re very clearly an owl that is constantly pissing though
Assigned Fowl At Birth
And PCOS stands for pissy communist owl syndrome
And what if you wanted higher T! They didn’t even stop to consider that ofc
To be fair, Suzie is very cool and if I was a lesbian woman I would not be insulted to be compared to her haha
Absolutely. I went through the emote list twice, and Suzie was the closest I could get to butch woman, I think.
Edit: Kim Kitsuragi was my next best choice.
Anyway maybe I’m just pissy
nah you are 1000% correct, medical gatekeeping is fucking bullshit.
also my good friend with PCOS is also trans now that I think about it
I was wondering why this post sounded so familiarAs your psychiatrist, I’m concerned about your expressed dysphoria. Tell me, when did you first start to have feelings that you might not be an owl?
Hoo can say?
Oh Dirt, you’re a hoot!
but if I was a trans woman or man, or if I wanted hormone therapy to affirm my being non-binary, I would most likely have to jump through all sorts of hoops.
With informed consent you can waltz in and get some of that blue stuff in under an hour
They just don’t want dudes[Non-Binary] to rock.
At the same time it’s a breeze to get on TRT if you’re a rich middle aged guy that can afford to pay 500 for a low T clinic visit
Has PCOS caused you any trouble or unpleasantness thus far? My previous supervisor suffered really badly with it and had difficulty getting treated for it.
Yes. Monthly stuff is very painful and I’m constantly having to remove hair from my face and arms.
Sorry if that’s gross.
No you’re ok :) was just curious, some kind of (small dose) antiandrogen sounds like a reasonable treatment at least? 100% concur with the body text however.
It probably is. I was mostly just annoyed because you know it wouldn’t be easy for a trans woman to get the same treatment without jumping through a million hoops, and here I am getting it easy because I was born with a womb.
Yea
mood…
