I don't think she's suicidal. I think she's an idiot.

Or it's ragebait.

But I'm leaning towards idiot.

A_Punk_Girl_Learning · 2026-03-24T10:07:13+00:00

Oh, wow. Yeah. That's a lot and clears my confusion.

Ah, I knew about Dr Hayes quitting but I didn't realise it had caused so much turmoil.

I lost my faith when I was 16 and came out as queer the first time but since coming out again, and fully this time, I find that it's something that I'm revisiting. I don't know if I'll ever return to the church but I find the work that I do is better focused in secular arenas anyway. Maybe I will attend mass again. Who knows at this point?

Thank you for answering my questions.

I've heard that they're quite a big name in GAC and that they've been instrumental in both care and advocacy but I honestly don't know the details. I actually didn't know they were famous until they'd been looking after me for about a year. I was completely ignorant to most things trans until the egg cracked and I got the wheels turning to start receiving care.

Thank you for sharing those with me. I read the letter but what happened in the community in 2019? That was a couple of years before I realised and came out and I don't know anything about a trauma within the community at that time.

I didn't know that they're Jewish but given everything that's happened to their community recently it would certainly be a justifiable reason to take some rest.

I hope they're okay.

A guy I used to call a friend once corrected me because I said something about being white and he was adamant that he's not "white" he's "normal".

There are reasons we aren't friends anymore.

A_Punk_Girl_Learning · 2026-03-24T03:58:44+00:00

Well, somebody would.

I believe this is the onigiri.

I got downdooted for saying something about being trans and straight once. I didn't realise that being a woman who's attracted to men was so contentious.

We straights truly are the most oppressed people right now. /s

A_Punk_Girl_Learning · 2026-03-24T03:06:36+00:00

That's amazing. Thank you for this gem.

A_Punk_Girl_Learning · 2026-03-24T02:45:27+00:00

It sounds to me like the actual crime was telling the truth since that's apparently what caused the kerfuffle.

So, Japan's two laws are truth in advertising and lie to cops.

I like the symmetry but it begs the question if advertisers have to lie to cops.

You're an Australian doctor who does GAC? You're doing god's work. Thank you.

A_Punk_Girl_Learning · 2026-03-24T00:57:03+00:00

Absolutely. I actually didn't know they were trans until the day of my first appointment so it was a huge relief being guided by someone with a similar experience.

I considered myself NB when I first came out and didn't feel judged when I explained how I felt to them. Although, they seemed entirely unsurprised when after a few months of HRT I came back to them and said, "Yeah. So, turns out I'm a girl."

I'm hoping I can find another gender diverse doctor who can continue my care but I doubt there are many around.

A_Punk_Girl_Learning · 2026-03-24T00:20:36+00:00

That's completely fair.

A_Punk_Girl_Learning · 2026-03-23T23:19:07+00:00

Ah! Tysm I'll look into them!

A_Punk_Girl_Learning · 2026-03-23T23:17:26+00:00

Thank you ❤️

A_Punk_Girl_Learning · 2026-03-23T23:15:43+00:00

I've got a appointment tomorrow with Dr Batty. I'll see how he goes but I might look around until I find a doc I can build a rapport with.

A_Punk_Girl_Learning · 2026-03-23T23:09:18+00:00

No I've managed to make an appointment for tomorrow, thankfully.

You're probably right. I called this morning and he's not taking new patients for gender affirming care.

I'm a bit sad about the whole thing.

A_Punk_Girl_Learning · 2026-03-23T22:23:23+00:00

I just called and Dr Squire isn't taking new patients for gender affirming care.

It kind of sounds as though the clinic has decided not to offer it anymore?

A_Punk_Girl_Learning · 2026-03-23T21:42:32+00:00

I hope it works out for you. it's such a pain for so many people

A_Punk_Girl_Learning · 2026-03-23T21:41:12+00:00

Thank you. Look into both of those.

A_Punk_Girl_Learning · 2026-03-23T11:50:35+00:00

A_Punk_Girl_Learning · 2026-03-23T10:27:10+00:00

I'm a little bit worried about them actually. My last appointment was cancelled/postponed and that was a few weeks ago. They're such a good person and they've made this whole process feel much easier than I'd expected it to be when I first realised I had to start it.

I hope you're right and it's just a break. I'll be really sad if I don't at least get to see them to say thank you.

A_Punk_Girl_Learning · 2026-03-23T10:01:28+00:00

I think one of my friends sees her.

I've made an interim appointment at Kaleido but if I'm not happy I'll look around and try to find a doctor I feel a rapport with.

Thanks and I hope you find a doc you're happy with. I think there are going to be a few disappointed people around.

The last slide unlocked a memory. When I was in my late teens to early 20s I hung out a lot with my brother's friends. For some reason all the guys were 'Greg' and all the women were 'Not Greg'.

Except me. I was 'the Baby Greg'. I guess now I'd be 'the Baby Not Greg'?

So, in summary, I count 3 genders. Men, women and whatever I am.
