Once a month I hate being born female. The depression that floods me just before my period comes is the worst lol. It feels like my whole world is crash in front of my eyes and there is no escape. It doesn’t pass when I want it to but ends abruptly when it wants to.
It is fascinating how much hormones regulate physiology. My mum had her ovaries removed and she has night sweats, irritability. My lab mate’s dog isn’t spayed and is in heat, having her version of period. We were talking about how crucial hormones are for normal dog development!
He told me he was delaying spaying his pup coz estrogen is imp for its proper growth. I’m rambling & didn’t expect this thread to lead to anything political. Human development is painful & beautiful. I wish trans people the best in their journey, I can’t imagine their pain.
I hope a mental health expert extends the same compassion to a trans kid that my lab mate did to his pup, and carefully helps them decide the best step forward, whatever they maybe.
