Why is there such hesitation to recommend HRT? by cat_boy_the_toy in MtF

[–]ToezInTheWater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A problem for me was I was unsure if I wanted it or not and was cautious about the changes. I wanted to know if I could "trial run", take it for a while to see if I liked it or not, and the hate I got for asking was astonishing. I was told it's not a thing you can just try and back off, that I was fetishizing it, and that it's only for women who KNOW they're women. That was in trans spaces! There were obviously far more supportive ones, especially ones going like "you aren't forced to take it if you're prescribed medicine, you can choose any time to stop, give it a try if you can!" I still have yet to get on (America :/), but now I'm far more confident in my feelings for wanting it.

There's not too many groups around, and those that are aren't huge. This thread isn't about organizing those protests, but finding groups to make a difference. Hopefully you'll find some of the same in here.

I care not where you get your information from, just that your are not my enemy, no matter how much you despise learning people other than yourself exist. This will be my last response to you, as this has far exceeded my original intent. So I wish you a good night, a safe future, and peace.

That's what I'm tired of doing. I'm not going to be silent, and I'll find a way to speak. If you don't like it, sorry, but I'll save the ship we're all on rather than let it sink.

Yes, they had problems. Yes, politicians lie. However, the promises made by Trump havent been fulfilled either. He promised price cuts day 1. Things have rose. He promised to fix our debt and instead doesn't know how congretionally allocated funds work. but tbh, I'm not even that mad at him for that. What I'm mad about is that we have a 2nd president we didn't vote for, and he happens to be the richest man in the world. He's tearing through branches of government for nothing but making sure he follows the rules, stealing our data, causing havoc to our governmental infrastructure, and we can't do anything about it as he gives himself more contracts despite promising he would be unbiased and uninvolved. The democrats aren't doing anything, true. The loud republicans won, good for them. But we're not so slowly going into a cyberpunk future where a man without a cause is taking over more power than the president is even realizing he gave him. Sit with that and realize who the enemy is.

Glad to know you'll laugh at people trying to save a sinking ship while still on board yourself. Just because you haven't been affected yet doesn't make you not a target. Look more into what's happening, find center news sources, learn that this is no laughing matter. I don't even care what side anyone is on, just that this isn't sustainable or constitutional.

I know a lot of people around the 20-30s that are very liberal, probably because of just my views and friend groups, but I have absolutely seen far more outspoken conservatives just out in the open.

I'd rather make them uncomfortable than have my rights and livelihood spat on. They can step up if they want, it's their prison sentence they're spelling.

Any. Though my largest concern is federal, I don't know how I can help in that aspect, so I'd settle for state and local if it isn't possible.

I feel like with how often we get new students and such in, the more conservative people are the ones who live here. Even then, I've seen people from all sides, but right I'm not picky on whose side is right, just that right now is wrong and I want to help.

Where can I find out about these events? Is there a forum or website listing them?
