I know what my body feels like when I forget to take my estradiol shot. I know what it felt like before I started taking it in the first place.

And capital-S Science has a long enough history of completely ignoring us or trying to make us fit into little cis-centric boxes that I don't care what it says about us and our origin, to the degree that Science is even looking into that for a reason besides eugenics.

because when my T levels spike above a certain level, I know before I've even gotten a blood test to confirm. I go straight into depression, suicidality, etc.. and yes, I've confirmed with blood tests that I'm correct. E makes me happy but I can't live with T in my system - it's literally either me or the T. I knew I was trans long before I had my T suppressed and started E but it was hormone therapy that confirmed it for me beyond a shadow of a doubt. even if there were a magical brain scan that would show with 100% accuracy whether or not I were trans, I wouldn't take it - I already know I'm trans. the only purpose of such a test is to gatekeep people - especially non-binary people - out of the trans community. I do not give an iota of a fuck why someone calls themselves trans. if they tell me they are, they are. no other criteria matters in the slightest.

strongly recommend backing away from the transmed shit, it's just a parasitic worm intended for your brain.
