Long story short I have PCOS apparently. That means high testosterone. Why am I sharing this? I just think it's fucking shitty that I as an AFAB person can get feminizing hormone therapy after as little as a blood test, but if I was a trans woman or man, or if I wanted hormone therapy to affirm my being non-binary, I would most likely have to jump through all sorts of hoops.

Anyway maybe I'm just pissy because going to the doctor always reminds me that most people see me as a just a butch woman. Feeling shitty and dysphoric.

    No you're ok :) was just curious, some kind of (small dose) antiandrogen sounds like a reasonable treatment at least? 100% concur with the body text however.

      It probably is. I was mostly just annoyed because you know it wouldn't be easy for a trans woman to get the same treatment without jumping through a million hoops, and here I am getting it easy because I was born with a womb.
