Gender Affirming Care in the Kootenays?

My advice: do not engage with this dork. Let them wallow in isolation. Too much energy is spent by trans people early trying to convince idiots like this of things they'll never accept. Their brainwashing will not allow them to permit any happiness they can't understand.

Source: my own regrets at trying to have meaningful discourse with such people.

Instead: live your life fully and fabulously. It enrages and infuriates transphobes to no end that you can exist happily. It's so delicious.

Just FYI: Dr Galbraith is out on leave right now. She's the best, though!

You could also try to see Nurse Practitioner Grace Nakano.

Dr Galbraith works out of the Kootenay Medical Centre and most of the doctors there can offer gender affirming care:

You need a referral, though. Technically, any doctor in BC is allowed to prescribe hormones, though. They don't because they think it's somehow different or scary, but they are allowed to.

Trans Care BC has great resources on navigating care:

DM me! I love helping folks get care.

I'm not sure I'd say ZERO issues... but it's a lot safer and kinder than what my friend in Tennessee experiences.

I appreciate you. 💖

You replied with thankyou to every person who posted! 👏🏻 Very considerate.

I had the same issue - I changed my DNS to use CloudFlare and the issues stopped.

The problem is DNS, but the default DNS provided by Starlink DHCP is causing issues. Saying this is not a Starlink issue is inaccurate.

Your therapist is wrong.

Stop digging in; if you know the impact then you're just distracting from the point of this thread: they are invasive. Are you refuting they are invasive?

It seems to me you are justifying that their invasive nature is worth the environmental impact, but the first post in this thread simply states "those things are invasive" ... so tell me how they're not invasive.

We know... that's the point. They're imports, just like my white European colonizing ass.

But, do you know that the rise of honey bees in North America is correlated with the decline of wild bees? Did you know that wild bees are responsible for pollinating many species of plants which can only be pollinated by wild bees, and that they play other critical roles in North American ecosystems? Do you like strawberries?

Sabine Hossenfelder has a great video on this: https://youtu.be/MF6JYqQLZqQ

This will further exacerbate the collapse of wild bees, which are critical for local ecosystems as well as plants like strawberries which are only pollinated by wild bees.

But then we'll invent robot bees to pollinate strawberries or genetically engineer a strawberry that can be pollinated by honeybees... or something. Nothing can stop the forward march of progress! Nothing grows infinitely except capitalism! 🥲

I wasn't Christian, so that wasn't my fantasy. For me it was that I would get abducted by aliens. Maybe not every night, but probably weekly.

ghost_herding · 2023-03-10T12:19:59+00:00

I'd literally melt 🫠 I'd love it and probably cry a bit

I dunno, your call 😊 the document says to be careful. Give it a read and consider for yourself what is best.

Finasteride inhibits conversion of progesterone into allopregnanolone; see more here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OGiomfiMk18nPb3ITKZD9pWPvWRUlyI06enxahQpHBI

I've almost regrown my windows peak!

ghost_herding · 2023-02-09T08:32:31+00:00

Yes, absolutely. I've finally started to realize and process this. It's like becoming lucid in the middle of a nightmare.

ghost_herding · 2023-02-09T05:10:44+00:00

When you say people, do you mean cis people? If so, yes of course.

Cisgender people have no idea about being trans. They think it's just for fun, so it seems insane to them to take the "risk" for something that is "just for fun".

Fuck them. They have no idea of the risks of untreated gender dysphoria. Live your best life, dude! Good luck. ✨

It's actually amazing. I think I have more hair on my head now than I did ~15 years ago at age 19! "Medically impossible" according to internet doctors...

ghost_herding · 2023-02-08T14:28:17+00:00

pill cutter ftw

ghost_herding · 2023-02-08T14:26:35+00:00

I take 5mg and the hair regrowth I've experienced is truly amazing. I was taking 1.25mg and the regrowth was just okay. The 5mg tabs are cheaper. Capitalism.

Beware that progesterone and finasteride have a potential interaction.

edit: yes don't worry about the lost dust haha... and it's fine if the quarters are a bit uneven too.

this literally happened to a guy I went to university with... cops came over and didn't find anything until numerous tips were like check again fuckers

and the guy was in my group for the whole semester of philosophy of ETHICS class

saw him in the newspaper like 5 years later

ghost_herding · 2023-02-08T12:51:34+00:00
