Let’s not give Gavin Newsom too much praise: he vetoed an important HRT stockpiling bill that would have allowed transgender people to maintain a safe supply of medication in the era of government crackdowns on care. For many in the trans community, the veto could be far more consequential than any of the other LGBTQ+ bills he signed.

This month's @OhJoySexToy comic by me is up for your viewing pleasure. It's another hormone-based comic because it had been on my mind. I want to share my love of T-Gel and how it’s been the perfect way for me to be on HRT. I just want to shout from the rooftops about how much I like it and how grateful I am that I don’t have to use needles!

To A T-Gel Comic by Jey Pawlik, done in cool minty green tones with heavy blacks and black linework. Jey is a nonbinary person who uses they/them pronouns, has big rectangular glasses, short cropped hair with a few greys. They wear simple clothes like graphic tees and jeans throughout the comic. Narration: I hemmed and hawed about going on HRT* for so long in my 20s. A younger Jey ponders and says “Maybe I could try it? A bit more facial hair and a lower voice sounds real nice. Note: Hormone replacement therapy Narration: At the time, the only option that was available to me was injections at a full dose. A needle is shown front and center. Narration: I chickened out. Jey sprint away telling themself “Nope! I don’t think T is for me actually!!” Narration: Years later, I watched a friend transition using T-GEL. Jey’s friend, who’s look has been changed for privacy, says “I’m starting T but it’s not injections—and it’s been pretty great!” we see Jey’s friend’s transition from pre-T to years on T with a full beard. Jey looks excited and says “OH! I didn’t know that was even an option, and you look so happy! Maybe—maybe I could go on T after all!"

@jeypawlik didn't get on HRT because they didn't like needles. But when they learned about T-GEL that's absorbed through the skin, they got their T-party started!

Calling Finasteride "Femboy Pills"

#finasteride #femboy #hrt

reminded today that me having access to my hrt and trans healthcare is a privilege.

so extremely thankful for my pills and whatever else might be on the way for me,
it all seemed so impossible at some point..

Had first appointment for HRT (estrogen) yesterday. I Also got a flu shot, so I'm super tired today.

But hoping I can start soon and hoping it makes me happier/less irritable all the time.

Off to drive 90 minutes both ways to the ONLY hospital in the state that does HRT (for trans people...HRT is incredibly common for Cis people btw)

Someone please get me out of this braindead shithole filled with infinitely hateful bastards. It's a fuckin' pill just mail it.

Fascinating, worrying... and telling:

'trans people, whether or not they take hormones, are at higher risk of heart attacks and strokes'

WHETHER OR NOT THEY TAKE HORMONES.

Why might that be?

'Some of this is likely to be due to stigma and social factors. Dr Connelly explains that stigma and stress is common for trans people, and that this can also affect their cardiovascular health.'

Stigma and stress. Indeed.

If you didn't have mental health problems before starting to transition, you probably will have some by the end of it (thanks @ world)

I wish there was something one could do to make the waiting time until GAC/SRS more bearable.

Wow; I'm now, nearly to the day, one year on HRT. (okay to be fair, it was on the 3rd of october but I forgot to post lol)

Still can't belive I actually had the courage to do this step, and all the positive changes it gave to me. Even have some breast now lol!

But most importantly: Despite everything else (i.e. the world / depression), and ofc more disphoria, I feel better as without it. It atleast now feels as it's worth to give live another shot and see how this journey takes me.

(Also: I really should do more voice practice but It's so hard qwq)

TIL that you apparently cannot get estrogen injections in Germany (at least through the official ways). So I guess I can scratch that from my discussion list with my endocrinologist. Now to see if there still is an alternative for gel which I can go for or if there is no point in switching. I really don't know honestly.

i feel like more trans folks in the US should know about this option... can y'all do me a favor and give this a boost please? :sparkles_trans: :boost_ok:
