The Supreme Court declining to revisit Obergefell v. Hodges brought a major moment of relief for marriage equality supporters across the country. After years of fear that the landmark ruling could be challenged again, the decision reminded many LGBTQ+ Americans that love wins 🌈
I saw this was trending as a daily trans "debate" topic.
Yeah, settle in, children. We're going back into trans history.
My lived experience, and that of a significant number of other trans people from my era, is one where I remember that HRT was extremely well gatekept behind a "Real Life Experience" test, insurance didn't cover a damn thing, you were at the mercy of a therapist believing you were "straight and feminine" enough to warrant HRT, and providers were seemingly nowhere to be found outside of super restrictive universities.
So, yeah, DIY HRT was extremely common. Most of the people I knew coming up did it. We all knew how to get it, we all knew where to go and who to go to for advice on our labs, and what lab reference guides to follow.
It's not perfect medical science at an MD level, but it's what an extremely marginalized community does in order to survive.
To any anti-DIY people out there, please seriously reflect a bit here on this piece of history just from my own experience. I'm absolutely certain others from that era can back me up on this, too.
Either way, stop this anti-DIY bullshit. It's legit how many of us survived to speak about our experiences to this day. Please don't forget that. It seems like many in these debates gloss right over that.
I'll provide the trending AI background info on this "debate" or whatever is happening here. Apparently, it started with this comment.
Lol, that's fucking hilarious, the thought of Keir Starmer being a communist.
Here in the US, most leftists at least think he's a super weak leader, very emblematic in a way of Joe Biden-esque Democrats here. Soft, uninspiring, capitulating, definitely bores me to sleep.
I grew up viewing The Guardian as a progressive news outlet and being reliable for giving me good international views of US politics, and in general as well, but that changed about ten years ago. I started to notice an uptick in the self-described Gender-Critical "Feminist" takes, and their editorial decisions became noticeably problematic to the point where I stay far the fuck away from The Guardian, lol.
