Even better, every single medication I take has dangerous heath risks. When I made a suicide attempt a few years ago, can you guess which medication I used to do it? The same one that I have flowing into my body even as I type: insulin. Too much insulin (luckily I did not hit that critical threshold) and you will most likely die in fairly short order.
All medications have dangerous health risks!

Every. Single. One.
Thatâs a large chunk of my job, to know what they are and most of all, how big the risk really is. Balancing risk and benefit is not as easy as a Google search.

âThe difference between a medicine and a poison is the doseâ (Latin dosis sola facit venenum) was a revolutionary concept⌠when Paracelsus said it in 1538:
Alle Dinge sind Gift, und nichts ist ohne Gift; allein die Dosis macht, dass ein Ding kein Gift ist.
All things are poison, and nothing is without poison; the dosage alone makes it so a thing is not a poison.

Want to bet how quickly Iâd get slammed for anti-Christian hate if I put together the same website, but for every event where a private school or university athlete won something that could have been won by a public school athlete? Yet itâs many orders of magnitude more unfairness.

Understand that she went to the Florida Capitol specifically to use the restroom in violation of the law in order to challenge the law. She knew she would get arrested. In fact, she emailed every Florida state lawmaker ahead of time to let them know her intentions, so that she would be arrested. Itâs not about justice for her. Itâs about getting that law declared unconstitutional.

When can we have TER only contests, so everyone else can ignore them while doing what they love?

My NHS GP practice are threatening to take me off hormones because of potential health problems (I show no signs of them), while simultaneously prescribing enough propranolol to kill myself knowing that taking me off my hormones will make me suicidal. It hasnât happened yet but the warning signs are there.
The entire NHS is institutionally transphobic now, even doctors who are allies have their hands tied.

What i havenât told⌠no, what i canât tell my NHS doctors is that I have planned ahead for the possibility of hormone removal.
I will die before detransition, but Iâm not going to make it easy for the transphobes, they will have to kill me personally.

good, I should have known. Youâve always struck me as a woman who can plan for all eventualities. I believe in you and know youâll outlive these fuckers.

I know I, and a lot of other trans people, began our HRT without a prescription. The old ways arenât the best ways but those channels still exist.

Thatâs good to know⌠@the_borderer is right about trusting the straight world on stuff like this. They pretend to change the system, and then pull the rug out from under marginalized folks time and again. Iâm starting to think that there is no way it can be trusted to ever do the right thingâŚ

My Planned Parenthood doctor explained that the âapproved usageâ for the estrogen vials only allowed for four weeks from first use before they are considered potentially unsafe â but she said that doesnât mean they are unsafe or non-viable, so if I happen to find myself unable to get my prescription filled due to delays in shipments to the pharmacy or the like, it would probably be okay to use the existing one.
The fact that we had that conversation about two minutes after discussing potential blocks on accessing HRT was only a coincidence. (And again, Iâm at more risk from the prescribed way to use my insulin than I am of extending my hormone supply in this manner.)
