so, my body doesn’t produce sex hormones on its own (and hasn’t, based on a long history of lab tests); and if I don’t inject synthetic ones myself, I’m super exhausted all the time
(this is probably related to an intersex condition, but I’m super hesitant to apply labels)

CW: consequences of bad politics
the bad political state of the US recently has made me increasingly worried that some of these meds would be less available, as they’re often used for birth control — and for trans care
i *really* don’t want to go back to being eternally tired

the thing is, for a lot of people, going without synthetic hormones is more than just a threat of perpetual tired
for lots of trans folks, this kind of thing can have much more dire consequences; & genuinely cause serious damage to mental health

trans issues aren’t — and have really never been — niche. they affect more people than you know, and it’s all of our responsibility to fight for them
(also, this isn’t to claim there’s anything wrong if people choose to be without either primary sex hormone themselves
it wasn’t great for me, but if it works for others, that’s totally valid!)
