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.

    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 lea-think I was wondering why this post sounded so familiar
