“Hormones hormones blah blah, but what would you have done if you lived in a time without HRT? Huh? HUH???”
It’s pretty simple. I’d probably be dead or close to it. Hormone therapy saved my life. I couldn’t have socially transitioned without it because my dysphoria was too much.

I’m just so fortunate to live in an era of medicine where hormonal transition is possible. I often wonder how many people like me existed in history and couldn’t make it. It’s really hard to describe how much my dysphoria was related to having an incongruent hormonal profile.
There was no path outside my house as Emmy without HRT. In fact I didn’t even present feminine *in my house* until I’d been on HRT for about 11 months. Long story, but trying to be a crossdresser years before acceptance really warped me and made me fear that feeling ever again.
TL; DR
Trans HRT is often looked at as ‘something trans people do to look a certain way,’ but for me and many folks it goes wayyy further than that and allows us to not experience debilitating levels of neurological and physiological unwellness. It’s quite literally lifesaving!

ps- this is what scares me most about the current push by anti-trans activists to eliminate my access to healthcare - without my meds, life gets really tough really quickly, though it will be better without T production ever again
