I swear, when someone’s talking to me now, I can barely understand what’s happening. I know I’m no spring chicken anymore but I wish I was 16 again lol when I experience things it’s like it’s a memory or like I’m at the back of my head. It’s hard to explain. Every thing here is getting gradually worse over the years. Suffice to say, I’m not looking forward to my 40’s…

That being said I feel like I’m making a big deal out of something most women my age just get on with and put up with for the rest of their lives without complaining

    It puts trans people in a weird spot, our risk is basically ‘lol idk probably closer to your gender than your sex at birth if you’re on HRT but who knows.’ I’m convinced that going on T in my young adulthood made some specific autoimmune weirdness that runs on my mom’s side not show up in me, while my sisters all have to deal with autoimmune shit. But it’s not like I have a twin that didn’t transition to test that hypothesis on, and I can’t imagine there are many (if any) population studies of trans people on HRT and what/if any change there is to autoimmune risk.
