🇩🇪 Heute war ich das erste Mal Blut spenden!🩸Das heißt auch, dass ich heute endlich die Fragen, die ich zum trans bzw. nichtbinär-Sein, zu ADHS-Medikamenten und zur Hormontherapie in Zusammenhang mit Blutspenden hatte, beantworten konnte:

Geschlecht und HRT

Frauen können hier vier-, Männer sechsmal im Jahr Blut spenden.
Weil ich amtlich 'divers' und seit Jahren auf einer Hormonersatztherapie bin, wussten die Leute bei der Blutspende erstmal nichts mit mir anzufangen.

Die haben sich aber jedenfalls an meiner statt über die veralteten Systeme und Protokolle aufgeregt – die ganzen Computer waren noch auf Windows XP oder noch älter, und die Software hatte halt nur 'männlich' und 'weiblich' als Optionen.

Am Ende haben sie sich darauf geeinigt, dass ich wegen meiner Langzeit-Hormontherapie tendenziell eher 'biologisch weiblich' als 'biologisch männlich' sei, und dass sie mich einfach als weiblich führen würden.

[Das fand' ich ein bisschen lustig. Ich kann mir nur vorstellen, wie transphobe Leute darauf reagieren würden, dass ich von medizinischem Fachpersonal als biologisch/körperlich weiblich eingestuft wurde.]

Die Hormontherapie war übrigens auch absolut kein Problem. Ich hatte ursprünglich sogar die 'Transsexualität' als Vorerkrankung eingetragen, weil es ja eine Diagnose war, aber da hat mir der Arzt gesagt, das solle ich nicht machen, weil trans zu sein keine Krankheit sondern einfach ein Zustand sei. Fand ich süß.

ADHS-Medikamente

Das Lisdexamfetamin (Elvanse) war ebenfalls absolut kein Problem. Die haben sich viel eher für blutverändernde Medikamente wie z. B. Blutverdünner und für sowas wie illegale Drogen interessiert.

Die wollen Risiken minimieren; Leute die illegale Drogen nehmen haben im Vergleich zu Rezeptpatient:innen halt tendenziell ein größeres Risiko, unsaubere Spritzen zu verwenden, oder auch einfach unbekannte oder gefährliche Substanzen genommen zu haben, wenn z. B. deren Drogen gestreckt wurden.

Dasselbe mit Sexualität: seit 2023 fragen die nicht mehr nach der Orientierung. Ich 'durfte' bis zu zwei Sexualpartner:innen in den letzten vier Monaten gehabt haben (oder bis zu einer/einem im Bereich Analverkehr), und das war es eigentlich. Es wurden keine Fragen zur Orientierung gestellt.

Hoffe, das hilft jemandem!

Americans on testosterone gel, please check your lot/batch numbers.

There was a recall because there was benzene found in the gel, and you do NOT wanna rub that into your skin!

A Sweet Gentleman

Long story short there's a possibility that I end up in #Malaysia in a couple of years.

My problem:
Can I get testosterone and even maybe #trans care at a private clinic?
I know public hospitals are out of the question.

Also I haven't legally changed my gender so I don't know if "as a woman" I can get #testosterone for "menopause issues"?

Boost won't change your life but it will help mine and in a world full of transphobes it does make a difference.🙏

I want to get Fedi's input on something important, that is somewhat political right now, so please boost to extend reach.

If you are a cis woman I want to know if you are comfortable competing with and against trans women when it comes to sports, given that trans woman has gone through years of HRT.

DIY HRT Megethread (feep free to respond with more info)

can we please set up a easy to find megathread in regards to DIY HRT for us #transgender people? I really do believe it would be of great benefit for people in the US and other countries that aren't #trans friendly to be able to easily find alternate sources for our hormones.So please respond to this post with any information you have, so other people can more easily find out more about DIY HRT. #LGBTQIA #Transfem #Transmasc #DIYHRT #HRT

Want some good news? Of course you do!

“Just days after marriage equality became the law in Thailand, the country’s national health ministry added hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to the free health services available to Thai citizens.”

“Deputy government spokesperson Anukool Pruksanusak said the allocation was in direct support of the government’s policy on marriage equality, with an emphasis on both physical and mental health for sexually diverse individuals.”

Not all the news is bad. Thailand is doing great things for the LGBT community this week. First they legalized same sex marriage and now they are making HRT free for trans people.

redoing my #introduction, spring cleaning my profile

i am a total shitposter. i work in infosec (blue team), but don't follow me for good infosec information. just don't.

i like weird people... the communists and anarchists. the black sheep. the loners, outcasts, wallflowers, bizarros, rejects, outsiders, odd ducks, and the eccentric ones.

the broken. the lost. the lonely. the people who look in the mirror and can't see a beautiful person looking back.

the freaks, geeks, weirdos, goths, emos, punks, lovers with aching hearts, poets who don't know it, the elder gods/goddesses/others/cubes, nerds who love assembly, nerds who love obscure CSS, people who used to be carnies, people who want to be carnies, clown school dropouts, quiet librarians, midnight philosophers, chaotic good bartenders, D&D forever-DMs, speedrunners of life, cursed doll collectors, people who unironically love dial-up sounds, cassette tape hoarders, writers of unsent letters, DIY necromancers, time travelers stuck in the wrong timeline, indie game devs with imposter syndrome, hopeless romantics with a cynical streak, travelers of the astral plane, meme historians, collectors of lost media, aesthetic hoarders, souls lost in liminal spaces, thrift store treasure hunters, broken synthesizer enthusiasts, conspiracy theorists who know too much, introverts who overshare online, VHS romantics, late-night train station wanderers, noise music aficionados, digital ghost hunters, hopeless maximalists, cursed artifact restorers, wandering bards, and rogue rouge enthusiasts (people who dabble in makeup with chaotic flair, applying blush with the reckless abandon of a true artist).

And not least, the people who never quite fit in anywhere, but somehow fit in everywhere.

...you know, my people. 🖤

i'm looking for people that are cool with sharing misery most of the time, but do rarely dabble in the dark art of being fun. follow me if that's the case, or you know, don't.

you do you.

i do usually follow active accounts back, but if you don't post original posts... i don't typically follow. give me content plz.

Looking for new Endocrinologist (pref. around Düsseldorf/Ruhrgebiet) who's experienced with HRT and possibly cool with me doing injections. :trans_flag:
My current one is quitting in March.

Bonus points if they give out Prog and/or identify as FLINTA* (but I know that's already a lot to ask for)

Boosts very much appreciated! :BoostOK: :rainbow_heart:

Two years of daily selfies, strung together into a sixty-second time lapse, to document my hormonal transition.

It's a weird project, but I'm so glad I did it and I'm absolutely going to keep taking those selfies so I can put together Year Three. :)

so where would i find an opinion from ideally an #endocrinologist regarding #BloodTests what values are needed to check up on #hrt #Hormone levels?

any pointers to #ressources also appreciated.

🏳️‍⚧️ person lacking access to #healthcare in need of such information.

We're hearing increasing reports of GPs refusing to prescribe HRT for trans people, even when they have a letter from an NHS gender clinic.

If this happens to you or has happened to you in the past year:
