Long story short I have PCOS apparently. That means high testosterone. Why am I sharing this? I just think it's fucking shitty that I as an AFAB person can get feminizing hormone therapy after as little as a blood test, but if I was a trans woman or man, or if I wanted hormone therapy to affirm my being non-binary, I would most likely have to jump through all sorts of hoops.

Anyway maybe I'm just pissy because going to the doctor always reminds me that most people see me as a just a butch woman. Feeling shitty and dysphoric.

I hate the assumption that people with intersex conditions need to be "fixed" to fit into a non-existent binary. Mfs will give an intersex person bottom surgery as a baby without a second though for something not even slightly dangerous but then say trans people shouldnt have access to gender affirming care until they're an adult and have spent an arbitrary amount of money on talk therapy.

Anyway, does this mean you've got T-muscles? NGL, as much as estrogen was made for me and I estrogen, I kinda miss how strong I used to be.

I miss my strength, but being physically weak is oddly euphoric at the same time.

I think I know that feeling, but I'm torn. I don't want to be seen as stronger than women by default, so losing strength is lowkey affirming. But I've also always liked being the strongest or one of the strongest in the room and that hasn't gone away. Not in every way neccessarily, but I've always been proud of my legs and I've been wanting to get back into lifting to get them strong af again.

Love me some thunder thighs. Always been a bit proud of mine, too.

The jiggle makes me feel gender.
