lol “HRT slightly increases the risk of certain cancers” HRT could have caused me to guaranteed drop dead at 30 and it still would have gotten me eight more years than I would otherwise have had

”testosterone raises ur chances of heart problems” i already have heart problems bucko. give me the juice

"HRT will raise your chances of breast cancer"

me: "oh my. how much more likely will i be to get breast cancer than a cis woman?"

"slightly less likely. it's just you'll have breasts."

me: "you don't say. i'll take your whole stock"

--actual conversations with my endocrinologist

A lot of the problems hrt gives you are just problems that cis people with that hormone also have. You’re more likely to have heart problems on T because testosterone makes your blood thick sometimes. You’re more likely to have breast cancer on E because you get more breast tissue. Tbh if I’m gonna have health problems anyways I’d rather have man health problems.

Weird how they never say ‘going on E will make you slightly less likely to have heart problems’

UPDATE 4/11/2023:

I swapped out the colloidal silver nasal spray info for xylitol nasal spray info. I originally included colloidal silver spray because of the linked study and recommendation from RTHM, but I don't want to be pointing people toward something with notable health risks. Xylitol spray (Xlear) is also cheaper and more widely available!

i have dysphoria for this

everytime I've seen a recovering addict on this site post something about wishing there were more fun social spaces that weren't geared around substance use (including myself) I've seen them get called immature asexual anti-sex homophobes who need to grow up and get a grip. which is definitely cool and normal and a reasonable way to react to people talking about different accessibility needs.

I want to make it clear that I redacted "asexual" here because these people are usually just barely not saying the quiet part out loud, a large amount of this knee-jerk negative response to ideas about sober social spaces is 100% a holdover from tumblr's peak "ace discourse" days where exclusionists took hold of the idea that The Asexual Community wanted to abolish queer nightlife for being tooooo horny (to say nothing of the much longer and storied history of the intersections between various kinds of ableism and acephobia). just, I've gotten a few responses to this post that seem to think the redaction means I don't see this as related to acephobia, and that is completely untrue, I made this post specifically to draw that connection.
