there's currently a 4+ year average waiting list at gender identity clinics across the UK. trans people are being taken OFF hormones by clinicians bc they've had to buy black market during the wait. we have more to talk about than just JK Rowling
@jakehallwrites Women wait on average 8 years between onset of symptoms and medical treatment for endometriosis and it affects 1 in 10 of us so forgive me if I dont cry you a river.
@Bjoux @jakehallwrites Honey that response says more about your own heart than your lazy dig at trans people
@Bjoux @jakehallwrites Did you know multiple problems exist in the world
@Bjoux @jakehallwrites so true. isnt it crazy that i also know men with endo. i myself am a guy with pmdd! wouldnt it in fact be crazy if these issues occurred at the same time and both can be dealt with!
@Bjoux @jakehallwrites Do you think trans ppl receiving care has anything to do with the delay in diagnosing & treating endometriosis? Horrible take It took me 5 years to get a gyno related diagnosis, 10 years in and I STILL don’t have a treatment that works for me. It didnt make me a transphobe tho
@Bjoux @jakehallwrites It takes on average, 15 years for women to get an diagnosis of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, prior to that, they are treated like a hypochondriac by the medical world. It took me 36 years to get my diagnosis.
@Bjoux @jakehallwrites cool, why don’t you write your own thread about it
@Bjoux @jakehallwrites Misery LOVES company. You should be ashamed.
