We've come to a mixed realisation :TransHeart: :NonBinaryHeart:

A lot of folks taking gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT):

  • have a lot of misconceptions about it.
  • have the misguided belief that their gender-affirming care provider should be trusted unquestioning to know what's best for them.
  • don't know that there are different types of GAHT or that they have a choice in the type.

We know that we can write PSA posts here without issue to dispel myths and spread information, but if we want to reach a wider audience, we are pretty much gonna need to turn it into full articles and video content 🤔

However, the moment we do that, we're going to need to start being even more cautious about what we write or say, especially as:

  • We don't want anti-trans people to become aware of certain resources.
  • We may end up breaching terms and conditions of places like YouTube and Twitch.
  • We may put ourselves at risk of breaking UK laws... or being treated as if we have, even if we haven't.
  • We may end up risking crossing the streams between our work-profile and our online alias, which could increase the risk of being doxed or essentially becoming "persona non occupabile".

There's also the issue of us being a neurospicy disaster with unreliable executive function, who struggles with committing to any long-term projects... or even doing basic tasks sometimes 🥺🤦‍♀️ :AutismInfinitySymbol: :ADHD_Butterfly:
