A bit ago at ER visit for severe vertigo I deadass had a FEMALE NURSE shake her head sadly and say offhand “estrogen is *so* bad for the body”.
Tried to get levels to be on the safe side and got told by two doctors (stalled through a shift change) ‘that’s not really a thing we do.’
I’m not even out at that place and have learned to tell people I’m treating an endocrine disorder which for me is at least also true, but holy hell I can’t wait for my care to just plummet through the floor.

She even said it two more times like some kind of incantation “it’s so bad, it’s so bad” when I was like (very politely and with a curious demeanor playing dumb) “ …how is it bad exactly?” She was probably around age 30. Girl you RUN ON ESTROGEN. I cannot even… It’s been a week and a half and my (trans supporting!) pcp has still not put the lab orders in, despite a message and reply from her. Bizarre things are afoot. It’s like I’m living in unreality a little bit. #trans
