    I’m very curious about your private life, but I’m too polite to ask questions. I feel like you would share that information if you wanted your audience to know.
    Thank you for being a good role model.
    😺✌️

    Got my consult for top surgery for October!! Hopefully.... might need a hysto before then for odd changes :(
    Transhealth here in Australia, is informed consent for over 18. So testosterone is pretty easy to get on, and so it should be. But the gatekeeping for topsurgery is still there. I'll ask them if I need psychologist for this surgery.

    There are different types of hysterectomy. You can still produce estrogen if you keep one or both of your ovaries.

    I never thought about testing everyone if they're doing competitive sports. I'm not into that either, but you make a good point!
    Is the black and white cat trying to adopt you? 😍
    I've had a hysto/double oophorectomy (my own preference), and one thing I've learned is there are so many different names depending on where & what you want taken out. I can get into details about my experience if anyone wants to know, my main learning point was about atrophy of said parts left in once on T.
    I agree with @unpotted, I figure if someone wants to share, they would. I like to ask questions, and we all have our preferences about what we're willing to share.

      I want all of mine gone. Im past the age of reproduction, so taking it all out is fine.

      @@CoMorbiditty I never wanted kids myself, so it wasn't too big of decision for me once I started getting polyps and then found out I had PCOS. It wasn't a good experience at all.

      They used to test every woman in sports. I've read quite a bit about the history of hormone/chromosome/genetic testing in sports. Problem is, both hormone and chromosome testing excluded even some cis women from competing. There isn't a clear answer as to where to draw the line, because the intersex conditions are too complex to figure out where the line is. For example, the recent case of Imane Khelif. Even if she had XY chromosomes (we don't even know that btw), if she had Swyer syndrome, then her intersex condition would still qualify her as a woman- no testes, only female gametes, no active "male" genes. biologically, she'd still be qualified as a woman, despite XY chromosomes. Even some cis women with PCOS could have more of an advantage.
      I do believe that some advantages of trans women can be too much, for example if someone trains for a specific sport for decades as a male, develops all the muscle on natural T, then transitions in their late teens or early 20's. It doesn't matter if they bring down their T levels, they still had an advantage of years of building their body and getting good at the sport on male hormones.
