France has a transmedicalism so humiliating and ineffective that biotech transfems started homebrewing. This is a superhero origin story if I've ever seen one
Point of Pride’s HRT Access Fund is a scholarship-like program that provides direct financial assistance to trans folks who cannot afford their gender-affirming hormone replacement therapy (also known as "HRT.")
We have proudly partnered with Plume, Folx, QueerMed, QueerDoc, TrueU, Spectrum: The Other Clinic and Outpatient Family Medicine Transformed, to provide recipients with 12 months of HRT-related care
HRT: There was a quite interesting article in the Telegraph talking about the new weight loss jabs affecting the uptake of HRT.
While not being on - weight loss - injections, of course I read it. #Trans women are world leading experts on our own bodies, and gatekeepy cis doctors (let's be frank) can get lost.
Anyway to cut a long story short ...
1 - weight loss jabs affect HRT taken orally, which for us all affects Estradiol and Progesterone pills (not transdermal or injections)
2 - there's an interesting insight on an increased risk of womb cancer for cis women on high dose estrogen HRT I'd like to read up on.
Of course as trans women, many of us prefer to run "hot" ie. high E2/Estrogen levels and womb cancer doesn't apply, but endocrinology is fascinating°°. I see no reason why post-orchi trans woman are asked to run on low often post-menopausal E2 levels
°° Well fascinating to me, excuse the rambling
For those interested, cis and trans:

Future of Trans Youth Healthcare at Risk: Government Actions Scrutinized
Less than a year after the U.K. banned puberty blockers for trans youth, health secretary Wes Streeting, the Health Minister for this very un-Labour-like Labour government, is considering banning the prescription of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) by private clinics and healthcare providers to patients under 18. According to the BBC, government lawyers have stated that an expert panel will issue a report on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in July. Currently, the NHS allows HRT to be […]Lesbians on Ecstasy + Rough Spells + HRT

You might want to download this scientific report proving transgender care is NOT detrimental to children and adults, quite the contrary, before Republicans conveniently delete it from the face of the Earth and pretend it never existed.
I have the trans endocrinology autism.
Standing offer to (in replies or DM):
* Explain how HRT works (also see the site I created https://hrt.witches.club/ )
* Explain when to get blood tests, what should be tested, and what your results mean
* Second opinion your doctors and their treatment plan
* Help you workout how and what to DIY
* Debug weird corner cases and interactions when things don't go as expected
* Refer you to others who also do this
I have more experience with feminisation HRT, but can also help with masculinisation HRT.
Boosts welcome!
Another year of girlydrugs and antiboyotics completed. It’s a bittersweet celebration, knowing it’ll take me this long, or longer still before I’m allowed to apply for GRS/SRS
Oh hey it's Happy Mirenaversary to me. One whole year of the Mirena coil (for perimenopause/HRT reasons).
So glad I faced my fears and that it worked for me, I know there are many different stories out there.
if you have read up or are knowledgeable about the possible correlation between #T1D and #GenderDysphoria or the higher-than-typical prevalence of T1Ds identifying as #transgender, or the possible link between #A1C and #GAHT, or perhaps experience with #insulin resistance related to #GAHT / #HRT, would you like to chat? i have so so many questions.
