They wrote on social media at the time: “HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) informed consent saved my life and the lives of many others.” The gnc (gender non-conforming) hurdles people have to jump through to get life-saving gender-affirming healthcare in a 1st world country is crazy to me.
“Just let people make informed decisions about their own bodies.”

People assigned male at birth are usually prescribed estrogen because it blocks testosterone and allows people to better align with their gender identity.
