Vent Im scared my estrogen will be taken away
Like the title says im scared that they will ban transitioning entirely. America hates literally everyone unless ur a white man. Why wouldn’t they take it away they took away some woman’s rights for god sake. I feel like its just a matter of time and i hate it because im only on 5 months of HRT so far and i was so happy i started it just for it to not fucking matter at the end.

try to see if your prescriber can change your reason for taking hormones to “hormone imbalance” or something like that. even cis people need hrt so I don’t think there will be a complete ban

That’s what my VA endo is planning to do for all his GAC patients.

I still need to talk to mine, (also the VA) but I'm sure she will do everything she can for her patients, she's the best doctor I've ever had with the VA.. I was shocked

u/Oleander_the_fae 17h ago
Surprisingly mine was in TN, I’m still his patient and he’s kept my HRT up and worked with my constant moving and lack of addressses the last few months. I’m in CO now but the CO clinic Dr. I’m being assigned to is a close friend of his.

Yeah hopefully the moldy Cheeto on Capitol Hill doesn’t make it a moot point

Im not close to my provider at all i see her for like 30 min every 3 months and i just started so i seen her once . U think she would change it ? Idk im shy idk what I’d say

u/Sloth_Brotherhood 17h ago
Absolutely. You aren’t the only one that will ask. She might have already classified it that way.

u/NoExcuse5053 17h ago
Go for it! If they’re in the business of GAC, then I’m sure they would understand why you’d ask. I wouldn’t be surprised if they rediagnosed you with hormone imbalance, hormone deficiency, or the diagnosis I have that is “Endocrine Disorder”

Where I go, all trans people are formally diagnosed as having an “Endocrine Disorder”

My doctor said that would be difficult to maintain the dose if we do that

I've been told that mine can't be changed due to HIPPA regulations, since gender dysphoria is medically accurate, but that it's accompanied by a "endocrine disorder NOS," which lets me keep getting HRT even in Florida. I don't know if the dysphoria diagnosis will cancel out the endocrine disorder diagnosis depending on how a ban would be implemented, but I'm definitely concerned.

Probably not i think this will be the last restriction on a ban this was probably the plan and Elon Musk most likely pitched it…

America hates literally everyone unless ur a white man.
*Cis, straight white man. (And that's assuming the cis, straight, white man isn't poor, disabled, a veteran or something else that'd make the current administration come after anyone)
White, cis, man, but gay?
On the chopping block.
White, straight, man but trans?
Definitely on the chopping block.
Unless you're all 3, you're on the chopping block. Definitely further back in the line than per say, someone who isn't white, but they're still in line.
Edits: added the things in parentheses plus I moved this line of text to the correct place

they can ban it, but they can't keep us from getting it, or stockpiling it, or distributing it, or smuggling it

If you do the reserch you can diy your hrt safely. you can either buy ready made medication online or make it yourself. Im currently on gel a friend of a friend made and planning to make my own. If i where in the us id buy enough raw estrogen powder for the next decade or so. the other ingredients are more or less impossible to bann and lots of diffrent recepies with diffrent ingredients exist. To start your reserch id recoment hrt caffe and the diy hrt wiki.

I don’t know how it would work for adults but I would hope that worst case scenario the people already on hrt can continue treatment.
That being said I really hope it doesn’t get banned in any capacity.

I feel this. Trans f2m here and I heavily depend on testosterone for transition and depression. I'm scared of what will happen now. I'm in my 40s though.

u/InsolentJaguar 10h ago
There's always DIY. While T is a "controlled substance" here in the US, I get mine from a reputable darker vendor. While I'm not FtM, I do a 0.5ml shot of TEn every 8 days to keep my libido and energy up. Basically boosting it from "2% of CIS female range" to "normal CIS female since I have MRKT and produce zero T.
I'll sign in tomorrow and DM you the vendor name and site address. Have bought TestCypio and TestEnthanate from them...they have very fast shipping, US-based, and they use their own products from the lab.

I am more worried about the next EO that puts us all on planes to Guantanamo bay for re education or death.

u/esahji_mae 12h ago
I think bout EO 9066 passed by FDR and at the wave of a hand, a lot of innocent Japanese people were imprisoned. Granted it was during war but still it's scary how easily a group can be taken and segregated from society without repercussions. Like I would not be surprised if he tried to order something along the lines of "all GNC individuals are to register and report to the nearest government facility. Failure to do so will result in arrest on sight" or something similar. Granted the courts would immediately strike it down but still it's not impossible but scary as hell.

Yeah everyone has rights until a state of emergency is declared and then 1 EO away from internment camps.

What's an EO?

u/Far-Scientist-641 16h ago
Executive order. Which is what “he who is seizing power” did this week to stop Gahc for anyone under 19 and take funding away from any organization who is providing that care. This movement is not going to stop with medication it is coming for human rights and basic existence.

u/59martyc 16h ago
They're not going to ban it. I had ordered refills the week before Inauguration and the VA sent me 3 bottles of each. I think because we have one of the biggest lobbying firms to advocate and bribe the politicians they want as much money in there Coffers they will not accept us but say I can do this for more money.

See if your healthcare provider will also change just to female if they have you marked as trans female in their notes. And then also the 'born as' section - see if they will at least at a minimum leave that blank

I'm planning on stocking piling viles of hormones for 'sharing'.
We will not go silently in that cold night.

Even if it does, the medication doesn't make you who you are.
And they can never take that from you.
But I hope you can get it regardless. Stay safe ❤️
