SleepyCattenDIY (homebrew) feminising HRT (GAHT) weekly injection
SleepyCattenUpdate on NHS gender-affirming care stuff; largely negative, with a teeny-tiny bit of good; here be trauma dragons!
SleepyCatten<p>We've come to a mixed realisation :TransHeart: :NonBinaryHeart: </p><p>A <strong>lot</strong> of folks taking <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender-affirming_hormone_therapy" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT)</a>:</p><ul><li>have a lot of misconceptions about it.</li><li>have the misguided belief that their gender-affirming care provider should be trusted unquestioning to know what's best for them.</li><li>don't know that there are different types of GAHT or that they have a choice in the type.</li></ul><p>We know that we can write PSA posts here without issue to dispel myths and spread information, but if we want to reach a wider audience, we are pretty much gonna need to turn it into full articles and video content 🤔</p><p>However, the moment we do that, we're going to need to start being even more cautious about what we write or say, especially as:</p><ul><li>We don't want anti-trans people to become aware of certain resources.</li><li>We may end up breaching terms and conditions of places like YouTube and Twitch.</li><li>We may put ourselves at risk of breaking UK laws... or being treated as if we have, even if we haven't.</li><li>We may end up risking crossing the streams between our work-profile and our online alias, which could increase the risk of being doxed or essentially becoming "persona non occupabile".</li></ul><p>There's also the issue of us being a neurospicy disaster with unreliable executive function, who struggles with committing to any long-term projects... or even doing basic tasks sometimes 🥺🤦‍♀️ :AutismInfinitySymbol: :ADHD_Butterfly: </p><p><a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/ThinkingOutLoud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ThinkingOutLoud</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/ContentCreation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ContentCreation</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/streaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>streaming</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trans</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/transgender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>transgender</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/NonBinary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NonBinary</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/TransRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TransRights</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/GAHT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GAHT</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/queer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>queer</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/LGBTQ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LGBTQ</span></a>+ <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/NoteToFutureSelf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NoteToFutureSelf</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/NoteToFutureSelves" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NoteToFutureSelves</span></a></p>

SleepyCatten<p>Hey lovelies 🩷</p><p>If you're currently asking yourself whether it's "worth" starting gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) and/or transitioning, please ask yourself the following instead: </p><ul><li>"Do I want to take GAHT?"</li><li>"Do I want to transition?"</li><li>"Do I think I might be, know that I am, or want to be a different gender to the one I was assigned at birth?"</li></ul><p>This are key questions to ask yourself, and it's <strong>never</strong> too late to start asking them.</p><p>Worrying about whether or not you will eventually pass as cis is something that sadly delays or stops many of us from starting GAHT and/or transitioning.</p><p>Please don't let yourself fall into the same mental trap that many of us have fallen into 🥺</p><p>You <strong>don't</strong> need to pass as cis to:</p><ul><li>Be attractive.</li><li>Be loved.</li><li>Be happier about how you look, sound, and feel. </li><li>Justify taking GAHT and/or transitioning. </li></ul><p><a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trans</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/transgender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>transgender</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/transition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>transition</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/HRT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HRT</span></a> <a href="https://cultofshiv.wtf/tags/GAHT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GAHT</span></a></p>
