I don't want to alarm anyone, but I was just invited to join the #Illuminati

#Transgender Awareness Week is here.

Trans people exist. Trans people have always existed. No matter the times, no matter societal opinion. The fight is ongoing, and the stakes are extremely high right now.

Seek out reputable info. Educate yourself. Be an ally. Be accepting.

For #transgender women, the surprise isn't so much that injectables were superior to gels and pills, but that spironolactone doesn't appear to be doing its job of blocking testosterone like it's supposed to.

It might actually lower estradiol levels.

I'll never understand people who willfully disregard pronouns and names. It's not that hard, and it's the least amount of respect to show someone.

Good on the CA Supreme Court for protecting the rights of #transgender long-term care patients.
