~7.5 mg (0.15 mL; 50 mg/mL concentration) estradiol enanthate injected intramuscularly into the vastus lateralis in our right thigh using our Union Medico auto-injector 💉🩹

On a side note, every DIY HRT injection we do always feels like holding up 2 middle fingers to the gatekeeping dickwombles within the NHS who continue to segregate gender-affirming healthcare for trans people and only offer outdated, shitty healthcare 🖕 🖕

Left it a bit late again, but it was due to very valid reasons. (These reasons were binge-watching season 2 of WondLa and then needing to put out the bins.)

On a side note:

• Fuck the UK Supreme Court.
• Fuck Keir Starmer.
• Fuck Wes Streeting.
• Fuck any Labour MP who has towed the party line and tolerated their bigotry.
• Fuck washed-up bigots living in castles.
• Fuck FWS and all other transphobic organisations.
• Fuck fake allies.

~7.5 mg (0.15 mL; 50 mg/mL concentration) estradiol enanthate injected intramuscularly into the vastus lateralis in our right thigh using our Union Medico auto-injector 💉🩹

Left it a little bit late (~3 hours after our calendar reminder), but it was completely by the books and entirely painless. Not almost painless: entirely. Literally no pain, not even on pulling out the needle slowly afterwards.

In case you're wondering why we continue with a weekly DIY injection after having put ourselves through YEARS of humiliating gatekeeping through the NHS, there are a number of reasons:

• The NHS doesn't offer injections or implants: only patches, gel, or pills.
• Patches are uncomfortable and, even with a covering film, tend to come off whenever we get sweaty.
• A weekly injection gives us a higher, stable (o)estradiol level than patches, improving our mood and negating the need for any anti-androgen or blocker (GnRH agonist or antagonist).

Every time we inject, it's honestly kind of like a massive middle finger to the fuckwits within the NHS who want to gatekeep and control our gender-affirming hormone therapy 🖕

This is one element of our healthcare that they cannot control ✊

Imagine thinking "You use too many emojis" was ever a good thing to say to anyone.....

Imagine thinking you could say it and not come off like a total fucking douchebag......

No wonder so many people hate this place.
