Oh ho! So, now #BigPharma wants to get rid of #Menopause? Um, yeah. After being brainwashed and gender dysphoric from #Estrogen most of my life (since age 13), I found natural hormone blockers to be an awakening. I could see things as myself again! How many #AFAB have had that happen? And TBH, if I had known that estrogen blockers existed, I would have taken them YEARS ago! #NonBinary #NB #NonBinaryAndProud #Genderfluid

I hated puberty and strived to be "one of the boys" again after that. I just never felt like a "girly girl" and identified more with gender-fluid Gallifreyans (GF GF) and called myself a "person" -- not a "he" or a "she".

And yeah, if femmes want to continue feeling femme -- by all means, take #Estrogen. It's just not for everyone.

I suspect I had a lot of natural #Androgen, but when I complained about my "female issues" (irregular or no periods) I was prescribed #Estrogen which did NOT agree with me at all. It wasn't until I hit #menopause that I realized that estrogen had been the problem. And finally felt like my real self again!

The reason I'm bringing this all up, is that I met up with a gay friend that I hadn't seen in 30 years. And he was a total #TERF, and pretty much discounted my trans friends and my own feelings of dysphoria. Got me thinking about who my real friends are...

@DoomsdaysCW

Sad to hear that about the old acquaintance.

Thanks for sharing about your journey. Prob helped me think clearer about genderfluid folk.

@skua So, I explained to him that when I was 6 years old, I identified as the husband to two wives -- one was a boy, one was a girl. And they were both into it. We played house together and it felt right. The boy ended up liking other boys, and my girl-wife ended up liking girls, and I always liked both. And when I hear about kids today being themselves and others who would suppress them, I get both sad and angry. I will defend each and every one of those kids! They deserve to be themselves!
