Until tonight I was not aware that there is a popular singer called Celeste. Until tonight, 5 lovely women from Liverpool weren't aware that there is a French avant-garde post-hardcore, post-black metal band called Celeste. Sadly for them I was not the one at the wrong gig.

I wonder if I'd hate Mondays less in a world without late stage capitalism, imminent environmental collapse, and ongoing persistent hatred of difference.

I am nonbinary and take hormone blockers and HRT (estrogen, progesterone and testosterone) for reasons unrelated to my gender. I recently received this letter from my GP.

@catowner234 @Naeluckmate @OwenJHurcum Haha! I'm not trans, I'm just an annoyed cis person who is very tired of the uninformed bullying people on the internet to serve their own agenda.

@catowner234 @Naeluckmate @OwenJHurcum Oh-kay I'm going to direct you to the following resources so you can educate yourself. Everyone has both in their bodies. You need testosterone. my.clevelandclinic.org/health/article…

@catowner234 @Naeluckmate @OwenJHurcum I do not like to medicalize transness, but gender dysphoria, and it's often accompanying health issues is not a *want.*

NHS GPs are stopping prescribing hormones, even with a diagnosis of gender dysphoria

@forevercoco3 @OwenJHurcum The point is that GPs should be allowed to prescribe hormones for trans folks like any other cis requirement. It's about making it more accessible, not less.

@Naeluckmate @OwenJHurcum Absolutely not true. Plenty of cis people take hormones for medical reasons (birth control or estrogen for menopause for example), but people don't waffle on about it 🙃

TLDR: trans people deserve better than the care they are receiving under the #labour government. Hormones aren't the enemy.

But the fact that #hrt ONLY in the space of #transhealthcare is problematized means this isn't about good science and good medicine. It's about oppression and marginalisation.

#hrt and hormones are really really important, medically and culturally for lots of folx. Plenty of cis folks take hormones for a number of reasons (BIRTH CONTROL FOR EXAMPLE), and we don't bat a goddamn eyelash.

I deleted the last post because I didn't like how I said what I'm trying to get across. A redo: watching the #hrt and #transhealthcare awfulness in the UK, I am enraged that people who clearly don't understand how hormones work feel entitled to tell other people about biology.

I feel bad for all the young people who have naively assumed that letting their jeans drag on the pavement in the UK is a good idea. From many many years experience, that ice cold ankle soaker is not fun.
