Okay so this has been on my mind for a while, and I really want to talk about it.

I was struggling to get ~mysterious things happening with my body~ diagnosed for a while. And I did (yay!). And it turns out, the treatment is an estrogen supplement.

But I didn't even need a diagnosis before I got that prescribed to me. I walked in, told the doctor the issue, did some labs and she got me a referral and a prescription within a week.

And the specialist spent a decent amount of time talking with me about the various ways I could take estrogen instead of my current method. Including HRT.

No scare tactics, just "you need this, here's how to take it properly, call me if you notice xyz." That's it.

And just...I can't help but be upset that it isn't that simple for trans people. HRT is lifesaving. Trans people should be able to walk in, get a diagnosis (not like a "you are trans" diagnosis, bc thats sketchy historically and now, but something that can let them get hormones), and walk out with a prescription. I'm not kidding, I'm not exaggerating.

It's so awful that medications and treatments that are proven to save lives are locked to any of the people whose lives they save.

#neon's void #transgender #transphobia #kinda???#Context if needed: I'm genderfluid and AFAB but I am only out to 1 person irl #Also the hrt that was offered is typically for menopausal cis women so not quite the same #but it is literally called hrt #Side note: i can't help but imagine terfs getting really upset when they are inevitably offered hrt...

the way some of yall conceptualize "gay" vs "straight" t4t relationships is EXTREMELY bioessentialist and you should be ashamed of yourselves

#im not even gonna be nice abt this #the amt of ppl who think “gay” t4t means same genitals/hrt and “straight” t4t means different genitals/hrt is appalling #and its impossible to pretend it doesnt happen when ppl literally call all transmasc+transfem couples straight by default

i REALLY LOVE the way T makes me feel but i might have to hop off for a bit as a social experiment

#jk not social experiment #just keep forgetting to make a new pp appointment for prescription #i always wake up too late and they’re closed #and the online appointment thing is fucking dumv #and i’m literally going broke #i mean i could take comms for hrt #but like ugh #ok maybe i’ll do it for a bit to see if it makes me wanna wrap my car around a telephone pole #i don’t have a car i don’t even know how to drive i’m gay #ugh #i’ll just call tomorrow or somethinf #LIKE I DONT WANNA GO OFF T BUT IM LAZY AND DUMV #DUMB #h #idk like i could live without it i think #imagine i stopped taking t whenever i needed to write chris pygora dialogue #iykyk please #the only thing keeping me from taking a t break is my parents like i feel like #OK I FEEL LIKE IF I STOP TAKING T THEYD BE LIKE finally ….#AND GET WEIRD #OK FUCK OFF #WHY AM I TAG RANTING

growling at my boobs in the mirror to encourage them to grow bigger

#I feel really masculine in a great way right now. like. hashtag let women be men or whatever idk #I really love when I feel like both. I guess genderfluid but not as a toggle between man and woman but a sliding scale of combinations of it #I really love when I'm both. I hate being girly and I hate being overly feminine but I also hate being a cis guy. I need genderqueerness #and people still get so confused. I had an older couple literally argue amongst themselves about my gender.#the husband said sir and the wife said “no honey she's a ma'am” and honestly that made my fucking day it felt so great.#especially since being on hrt I get a lot more women gendering me female. men are easy to work with. they see long hair and go awooga #when I get called miss and ma'am by a woman it means I'm winning the gender game #but I like being both. I like getting both. I like that my coworkers switch between she/he on different days.#I like living as myself

the good ol "i dont see my child as an individual with their own mind, thoughts, opinions, and unique needs, and instead i see them as an object that i can control and make plans and set up expectations for for without problem or consideration, and if they aren't in the narrow boundaries of what i want them to be, i will act like they have died and talk about how hard this is for ME" special

#child abuse //#transphobia //#ableism //#sorry for how long these tags are i have too many thoughts in my brain. sorry #transphobic parents: im losing my daughter/son :(( its so hard :(( this is literally the same as my child being dead :((#im watching them destroy themselves :((((#trans kid: *literally just asked to be called different pronouns or cut their hair or something*#vs #ableist parents: my child doesnt even let me hug them :(( sure its a really unpleasant feeling for them that is very distressing but #what about ME?? :(( my child not liking physical affection is the HARDEST THING EVER im such a brave parent #autistic kid: *just doesnt like being touched because it feels bad and needs other sensory accommodations*#like legit transphobic parents and ableist parents use really similar language to talk about their kids #a lot of implications or outright statements that their children are 'gone' and that their current child is some kind of impostor #do these people think changelings are real?? did they miss the boat on that???#and the 'im grieving my child' thing is so fucking dumb im sorry #your child isnt dead! theyre the same fucking person dumbass #your child didnt disappear when they realized they were trans or got diagnosed with autism. like. theyre still your fucking kid #these kinds of thoughts lead into shit like this story i heard about online about a father who became an alcoholic #because his son is trans and starting HRT. like this dad completely blames his addiction on his son being trans #because 'his daughter is destroying herself' and 'this stuff tears families apart'#newsflash you dumbfuck your son isnt at fault for you becoming an alcoholic instead of going to therapy to deal with any #complicated feelings or stress due to your son coming out #he did not hold you down and force alcohol down your throat you made the conscious goddamn choice to do that #because youre soooooo distraught that your beautiful daughter is gone :((#fucking cry about it maybe?#and with ableist parents theres a lot of talk about how they dont feel like their child loves them or how THEY find it hard to love them #which. again. its not their fucking fault its yours for not getting help to fix your shit #just because your child doesnt show affection in the way you do doesnt mean they dont love you or that you shouldnt love them #if you cant love your kid because of them being autistic thats a problem that you need to see a therapist about it. jackass #do not blame your kids!! for your issues!! they can tell!!! and it fucking hurts!!!!!!

One of the most annoying things is when you spend all this time hyping yourself up to do the nerve-wracking yet easy thing and then when you finally do it, nobody answers the phone, nobody is willing to help, they don't know what you're talking about, or otherwise it turns out the task is 100x more complicated and challenging than you expected it to be.

#i can list so many examples #this store isnt answering my phone calls for an update on my background check #ive waited nearly 4 months for therapy and i have to call and pester about it on a weekly basis #ive called and asked my doctor about strange and potentially serious side effects of my meds #but shes not in 90% of the time and they never know what im talking about and dont believe me #every time i work up the courage to finally tell some counselor or medical professional about potentially starting hrt #they dont know what im talking about and say their assistance doesnt help with that stuff #YOURE LITERALLY A THERAPY AND LIVING ASSISTANCE ORGANIZATION #NO ONE HAS EVER TALKED TO YOU ABOUT THIS???#IN THE QUEEREST CITY IN THE STATE????#im really fkn pissed rn give me a minute #my posts #dragon speaks #vent post
