(Not sure if this is allowed here but need some help/support)
Update 2/ getting a blood test tomorrow which includes hormone testing…thank you for your comments and help :) Update/ just about to go for a GP appointment regarding “early menopause”. If anyone has any advice on what I can say to help my case I’d appreciate it. Thanks.
ETA- I’m in the UK. Anyone have any info or advice is welcomed. Edit 2- I just asked my GP about getting my hormones tested…waiting on their response e3- also my dad made a comment saying I look trans a couple yrs ago and he’s not wrong tbh. It’s so hard not comparing myself to my sisters especially and other women in my family.
I don’t feel like a natural woman. Like the Portishead song “I just wanna be a woman”…
I just wanna feel like the the other women in my family and the gender I was assigned at birth but I just feel like the grinch. I literally feel like my body is all wrong and I can’t just “accept” it and be grateful.
Mtf (in my case, masc to femme) I probably have hormonal imbalances or something. My life is awful. If y’all can take it at the ages you do, I feel like I should be allowed to at 23…
Euthanasia is on the cards atp…I just wanna stop feeling worthless
Even if she’s goals for many of the girls here, gender affirming care should be available to anyone who wants it. cis or trans. Increased weight, masculine traits, depression would all be possible indicators of some sort of endocrine problem. But, it’s impossible to tell over the internet. So getting estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and also thyroid hormones tested would be my first step.
she shouldn’t have any trouble getting access to that care because she’s cis - you’re right, she should just go to the doctor, get hormones checked, and go from there
I think at this point it’s irresponsible to indicate she should source DIY hormones and start taking them.
I wasn’t suggesting that she go DIY without knowing what (if anything) the problem is.
Sure, but now that you’ve mentioned DIY she’s jumping straight to that; I think we need to be more careful about when and how we bring up DIY hormones.
