As always when I post about being trans, a reminder: if you support me because I'm "normal" or "reasonable" or whatever because I dress like an old man & go to church, but you don't support all my trans siblings, then you don't actually support me at all, & I encourage you to do some soul searching.

There is simply no medical reason to take a person, cold-turkey, off of a medication they've been stable on for almost a decade, with no offer of anything else - and when the lack of that medication causes irreversible lifelong issues up to and including death.

If you think that the current state of trans healthcare in the UK is because of concern or caution, I'd encourage you to think again.
It's not medically informed, it's a reactionary response to transphobic bigotry whipped up into a frenzy over the past few years.
And it costs lives.

I have been able to regain access to my necessary medication (and thankfully was able to avoid going without during my fight for it). But I know many people who are having the exact same fight right now. Including people who've been settled on hormones even longer than I.

Three weeks ago I marked nine years on Testosterone.
I didn't celebrate it then because I was in the middle of a multi-month battle to be allowed to stay on it, despite not producing my own hormones and simply wanting to remain on the exact prescription I'd had for nine years without any problems.

@FriendOfAstraea:
Statements about "all men" being inclined towards horrible thing is [sic] only unpopular when a feminist (supposedly) says it as a bad thing, but when some men themselves say it to defend that behavior as "inevitable," suddenly it's just reality we're all too snowflakey to accept.

So, someone taking your art and selling it isn't theft and it doesn't prevent you from profiting off your own work, it introduces competition. Copyright is the promise to protect your monopoly and prevent competition, something that benefits corporations more than you by, a lot.
