So, today marks 6 months since I started HRT. I can tell you now going on HRT is the best thing I have ever decided to do. In this post I will go through the 6 main reasons why for me personally. 1. Mental. The mental relief of not checking/bothering if the NHS Gender Clinic waiting list has moved is a very big one. I was stressing all the time about it, wondering when it will move and seeing stories that the waiting list is not moving and the time is just getting longer. In fact, I have just checked the time now and they are still seeing people from June 2019. I don’t think this has moved now for over 4 years. 2. Boobs. I used to wear false boobs until I started on HRT. I wanted to wear more feminine tops for the 4 years that I was out as Transgender but not on HRT but I couldn’t wear low cut tops as you could easily tell they was false. Also some dresses I have you could easily see I was wearing them as well. I sometimes look at photographs of that time and think wow, look how far

So unless you have been living under a rock recently the US election has happened and Donald Trump will be the new US President in January. What was you thinking the people of the US?? This is obviously bad news for anyone that’s not a CIS white male in the US, and for LGBT+ people generally in the world. The Trump campaign ran over $120 million of Anti-LGBT+ ads during the election campaign, targeting mainly transgender people. Not only that, as a convicted felon far right people are also now chanting “Your Body, My Choice” when it comes to Women, Trans or cis. In other words women do not have a choice now when it comes to Birth Control or Abortion, or who they have sex with. There is also the troubling possibility that Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter/X, Space X and Tesla, will also be in the new Trump administration. The reason why this is troubling is because he owns Twitter/X, the social media Platform that is full of anti-LGBT+ people and has an outsize influence on world politic
