Topic	UK NHS bans trans women from women's wards in hospitals.
Gwynevere 05/04/24 12:45:17 PM #105:	FaultyCircuitry posted... The issue with the report and with the majority of shit that gets thrown around is cis doctors and psychologists can only academically grasp trans issues, they want to use systems that are built for and by cis people. Trans medical care needs to be fronted by trans people who have experience and not just a sterile academic "understanding." A good example of this is doctors prescribing HRT at levels they would give to say a post-menopausal cis woman instead of much more effective doses. It's really why if/when I do HRT I will be going DIY with blood tests. Cis medical institutions can't be trusted to get it right when their intentions are good and it is lethal when not. The fucked up thing is that hormones are still technically being prescribed off label when given as trans care. So you have to find a doctor that knows what they're doing to properly monitor your levels and adjust your dosage accordingly. I got lucky to get a doctor that specializes in trans care, but that's not the reality for most Honestly not a bad idea at all though to consider DIY, since you'll know how to respond to changes in your body best, and all the information is out there. I have a good doctor and I still consider it from time to time since the longer lasting estradiol esters aren't available in the US --- A hunter is a hunter...even in a dream [She/they] <cite>Gwynevere posted [p:980235365] in UK NHS ban...
