transfeminism now!

hello! my name is daisy and im currently experiencing financial difficulties. I work a seasonal job and will return to work mid August but have been having a hard time making ends meet and sustaining myself over the summer. I would really appreciate some money I can use for gas, food, medications, or whatever needs come up until I'm back to full employment. anything helps!!

a few things:

pedantic, but the claim wasnt that diy is safe, wasnt that it is "safer", but in many ways it is.

doctors are often (read: almost always) uneducated on transgender health. from Continuing Gaps in Transgender Medicine Education Among Health Care Providers "few of [the endocrinologists] (11%) rated themselves as very compotent in transgender care. Consistent with their self report, only 5% correctly answered knowledge questions. Further, only 36% reported training in transgender care during endocrinology fellowship."

because of this, trans women are often prescribed doses of estrogen so low as to have very little feminizing effect. for example, the common dosing of 2mg daily estradiol tablets with 50mg daily spironolactone is generally not enough estrogen to dominate a woman's endocrine system, but is enough to strongly weaken her testosterone, which is likely to cause harm (your body needs a dominant hormone, it doesn't care if it's estrogen or testosterone, but not having either is directly dangerous). these doses also fail to meaningfully decrease risk of depression and its symptoms (self harm, suicide, etc).

it helps me pay for:

- bottom surgery

- laser hair removal

- college

it also gives me more time to devote to:

- my writing

- Transfem Voices Project

- development of my game, Enter the Wyrm, which is playable now for free in open alpha!

thank you 🫶

as always, it and its partner are homeless and disabled trans women living purely off donations from tumblr as they keep terminating us both every single day, and we still badly need support as we're going to be fully on the streets again in less than a month. please keep reblogging this aid post, and its paypal is here. anything would be greatly appreciated. and if anyone in Seattle can give us a place to stay, we dont have much time..
