  1. It felt good to ignore some religious transfobes on my way to the genderclinic. I can get gender related care regardless of their opinions.

  2. Just got a call from the fuckers in Amsterdam (VUMC) whether they need to keep me on their waiting list. I told them that I’m essentially through the entire process (no thanks to them), and should now be put on Radboud’s surgery waiting-list any day now and that they can remove me from theirs, since I prefer to work with psytrans. (Maybe I should have said “because unlike for you, I do have some trust into those people…”)

    I did ask them where in the waiting list they are currently and was told that they are now dealing with people who were referred to them in 2020…

    I also asked about the
    #progesterone study that they should really have published already, but the person who called me claimed to not really know anything about, go figure…

  3. In case anyone is wondering where the #progesterone study of the #VUMC can be found: Despite their protocol having been accepted over a year ago, they seemingly still haven’t published their results…

    Now, the last tests they want to run are supposed to happen 1 year after starting, so I’m not yet calling for torches and pitchforks, it takes a while to actually start testing and you need to write the actual paper, and…

    But my patience is very much on borrowed time… If they are not done by the time I have my next endo-appointment, I will assume that the results were that their E-levels are too low and that Prog works in desirable way, going back to DIY, because I’m past the point of not assuming malice with these folks…

    If you have questions, the corresponding author is Koen M.A. Dreijerink ([email protected]).

  4. Every politician should be forcibly put on cross-sex hormones until they can convince a pair of hyper-critical psychologists that they really are cis and then manage to see an endocrinologist who signs of on that, but both of these things should come with the same waiting lists as there are for trans people.

    I somehow feel we would see the gatekeeping drop to self-identification in no time at all…

    (And the same should of course also be done to all employees of #VUMC be honest.)

  5. @GottaLaff Agreed.

    What I want to see is a defamation lawsuit from #Vanderbilt University Medical Center (and their board of directors) where #Tucker is named as an individual. If he makes the same defamatory comments on Twitter, as he did on Fox, this time he will not be protected by the Fox News lawyers. The Fox lawyers loss in the #Dominion #defamation can strengthen a case for #VUMC
