kind of related, i transitioned like a long time ago and it was very gatekeepery and i remember memorizing childhood facts in exactly the way they wanted in order to get access ... but none of that mattered once i told them i was doing diy lol, then they wrote me a prescription

yesterday i had a meeting with a nurse about getting a referral to the bottom surgery place and she started with a speech about how "getting gender affirming care has historically been gatekept by cis providers" and straight-up said she was going to do the referral for me regardless of the conversation, certainly eased the tone of the whole convo. (to be fair i wasn't expecting gatekeeping)

times have changed i think!

Yeah today she wanted to know like how long I had had these feelings of gender non-conformity. But she said it was mostly so if I need a referral later on for surgery we have that date tracked.

So yeah times have definitely changed, and I'm thankful to live in a state that's not enacting a whole bunch of fascist laws.
