I’m a supporter of trans rights and I believe that if a trustworthy doctor prescribed their patient something, it’s none of mine or anyone else’s business. The government should stay out of it. I didn’t learn much more about the topic. Since I’m not trans, I wouldn’t need to know about HRT, right?
But, as someone who takes Spiro, I can’t believe that anyone would have a problem prescribing it to a healthy trans woman. This makes me more angry about the backlash of giving HRT to trans youth.
I’m sorry I didn’t take the time to learn about it and what it’s like to be a trans person dealing with all that hate.
An extra part of the joke is that 50mg spiro and 2mg estradiol is severe underdosing. Often they overdoes the blocker and underdose the estradiol, but sometimes they underdose both. This is in addition to all the hoops you mention that we need to go through to get HRT in the first place.
There are also other more effective blockers with less side effects but they’re not as cheap and therefore not as often prescribed. More proof that this is totally about our health
Edit: There are ofc doctors and clinics where you get excellent care, just, terrible care is all too common globally.
What is Spiro?
Spironolactone?
Correct!
Oh wow. I take that.
