For everyone in the US here, there is currently a FDA petition to create a federal registry of all trans women taking HRT. The FDA is currently taking public comments supporting and opposing the petition. Here’s a link on how to make your voice heard: https://transresilience.org/issues/fda-registry.
You can comment anonymously if you feel unsafe putting your name out there.
I’ve read some of the comments and most of them so far seem to be from transphobic ppl.
Comments are closed :(
Edit: It’s back now, not sure what was up with it
Edit: Comment submitted! For anyone else that may find the website difficult to navigate, here are some helpful links:

I was just able to submit a comment. To others reading: please still try to access the website and try to submit a comment - the comments were open for me.
EDIT:
https://transresilience.org/issues/fda-registry/comment
in the “what not to do” section, they explicitly say to not assume the comments are closed:
The docket page shows “closed” but the form is active. Under § 10.30(d), the record stays open until the Commissioner issues a decision.
The regulations.gov docket page shows the comment period as “closed.” But the comment form on the petition document itself is still active. Under 21 C.F.R. § 10.30(d), the record stays open until a decision is issued. Do not be discouraged by the “closed” status.
I was able to submit a comment just now.

I was able to submit a comment less than an hour ago and when I click the link I still see the option to comment?
Holy fuck it’s bleak. I shared this in my friend groups but it needs a lot more attention
I guess it’s finally time to figure out DIY… If only to have a stockpile before it’s too late.
Edit: Also I’m doing my part. Submitted a comment.
Commented! Fuck this shit…
