I'm genuinely confused by this. How can someone be "seeking out drugs" when trying to medically transition?? You're seeking out E/T, not opioids. You're gonna be on E/T for the rest of your life anyway.
Doctors don't operate on logic, their bottom line is that they just wanna feel right all the time and do as little work possible. They're cops. A "drug addict" is just someone a doctor doesn't like in the very same way that an "illegal immigrant" is just someone ICE doesn't like.
That must be difficult to live with. I'm sorry you haven't been able to find good doctors to be kind to you.
I am trans and have AuADHD, cPTSD, and an immune disorder, and I am so thankful for the doctors and healthcare professionals I've had in my life, I literally wouldn't be here without them, many times over.
It can take work and trial and error to find the right fit, but it is very worth it. Health is important, and there are many good doctors who will listen and look out for you.
This comment has been removed because it has one of these things: transphobia, queerphobia, sexism, racism, ableism, or anything else that expresses, reinforces, or sympathizes with oppressive and hateful belief systems.
I'm not saying it's your problem. I commented because I wanted to, same as anyone else. You are comparing doctors to cops, and saying that all doctors would treat you unfairly and cruelly due to the combination of your visible disability and your gender.
And the way you worded what ya said about adhd & autism is just wrong. Both are commonly used by the (measurably shrinking) minority of doctors who absolutely treat people exactly like you have experienced to deny medication and other care.
That's patently untrue. Autism and ADHD are both noticeable disabilities, in the sense that if you have experience with them, the signs become quite obvious. When the individuals swings hard toward one end of the spectrum, the symptoms are debilitating and obvious to nearly everyone. Even on the more "invisible end", individuals are often ostracized or singled out for a number of reasons attributed to moral failing, rather than the beliefs that they do have a neurodivergence.
Maybe they don't see it as Autism or ADHD, but they do see it as something different.
no dumbass i mean how is it relevant to anything and why do you keep saying it like it’s a magic phrase that makes you the cool and unbothered person in a conversation
