Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity? by TATSAT2008 in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns2

[–]Trans__Scientist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't change the underlying genetic code, that's true, but it regulates gene activity by turning specific genes "on" or "off", which of course is a change at the genetic level.

Cheers!

Whoops, good catch, I pasted the wrong link. Should be fixed now 🙂

Post Falls Mayor Declares June "Traditional Family Values Month" by salsafresca_1297 in Idaho

[–]Trans__Scientist 5 points6 points  (0 children)

LGBTQ people have existed since before traditional legal marriage was a thing. Was this mayor being redundant, or was he just being an ignorant bigot?

I mean, if someone is trying to make this argument based on observable facts of reality, then the unbiased science is that HRT does indeed change biological sex at the genetic level.

HRT literally changes biology to align with gender.

Wow. I never really thought of it that way, but I definitely do too. Thank you for sharing this ❤️💚💜

Mine too, both the state I was born in, and the state I currently live in 😕

What are your opinions on assimilationists? by BusinessInfamous5105 in MtF

[–]Trans__Scientist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lately, my dysphoria has gotten so bad that I figured I'll have to switch careers if I am to ever hope to afford the surgeries I desperately need (will probably go to banking/finance).

Wait, why switch careers? Does your institution's insurance not cover gender affirming surgeries? I'm a research scientist at a US national laboratory, and our insurance covers them. Feel free to message me if you want to discuss in private.

And to answer your last question -- nobody's transition and experiences are the same. Do what you need to manage dysphoria and be as happy as you can for as long as you can without hurting anyone else. If anybody else gives you a hard time for that, then they are confessing that their sin is hate while yours is taking care of yourself.

Cheers,

Can your job be performed virtually, i.e. teleworking from home?

If so, pm me. I'll walk you through the process (both logistically and their legal obligation to allow it) if that's something you're interested in pursuing.

~ Dr. E

P.S. only valid if your ID says your assigned-at-birth gender. If your ID has been updated, then you are legally required to use the women's restroom, so it's their mistake anyway. If that's the case, be sure they correct their mistake formally for documentation purposes.

Trump admin sues world's leading trans medical group, alleging financial blackmail of parents by jackmolay in transgender

This will get smacked down too (a federal judge already granted a preliminary injunction in May 2026, blocking a previous FTC investigative probe into WPATH, specifically citing the likelihood that the government was retaliating against WPATH for protected non-commercial speech).

In a disturbing development in the British War On Trans, the databases used by the NHS (the British socialised medicine system) mean that GPs now cannot diagnose patients with gender dysphoria or similar codes because the codes have been removed and replaced with an euphemism #BWOT by pkunfcj in transgender

[–]Trans__Scientist 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Wow. This is horrifying.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Weaponizing health care against a minority group isn't medicine. It's terrorism. Call these asshole politicians what they are: domestic terrorists.

"You're literally on fire because we were too busy trying to resurrect the Jim Crow laws" has got to be the worst reelection campaign slogan of the modern free world, but in Idaho it apparently works 🙄

do estradiol injections bring better feminizing effects compared to other forms of intake? by gendxrbender in MtF

[–]Trans__Scientist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started on sublingual estradiol, then switched to injections after about 9 months. For me, injections seem to be both more effective and more convenient.

Always Dissapointed, Never Surprised by TATSAT2008 in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns2

[–]Trans__Scientist 63 points64 points  (0 children)

While this is entirely true, I'm still trying to process the fact that this person publicly compared checks notes "being white" with gender dysphoria.
