“It's very motivating to me to actually provide the evidence to show the benefits of hormones that I see every single day,” said clinician Brendan Nolan.

Actual evidence from actual scientists.

    Trans enby here waiting to see a specialist to get HRT. Not sure how dysphoria is for some, but mine is like a person kicking the back of your chair in a theatre on good days, and on bad ones it’s like that screaming sun from Rick and Morty, it won’t shut up. Before I came out to myself as trans, it was like a high-pitched whine in the background, not obvious, but causing a lot of mental harm and a severe feeling of disconnect to reality. It‘s mentally draining as fuck. Since coming out things have been better, but the dysphoria is still there and needs to be addressed.

    So yeah, I’m not surprised at all HRT helps trans folks. Looking forward to when I can get on it myself.
