    I'm kinda baffled by how easy this is. Estradiol is so cheap to manufacture, and you just rub the stuff on your arm and wait for the magic to happen. The really tricky surgical stuff is also amazing, just yesterday i learned there's a surgeon in Portland that literally alters the resonance chambers in voice feminization surgeries instead of only reducing vibrating mass of the vocal folds. But while that's cool and all, i'm very in love with how much gender affirmation you can do with such simple means.

      You know I keep hearing about so many life-changing and life-saving medicine that's literally cheaper than a shovel-full of dirt and it both amazes me that's a thing and disgusts me it's artificially gatekept to gouge us for our wealth.

      Also I didn't know resonance chamber alteration was a thing, does that minimize surgical action on the vocal folks to reduce patient recoverytime while also accomplishing the set objective in vocal alteration? if yes then that's as the cool kids say, very nifty
