   Are you trans/think you might be trans and want to start hormone therapy?
You should know about informed consent HRT. These clinics allow you to start HRT without the gatekeeping and psych letters. You just meet your doctor, get your levels monitored, and get started!
Here’s my map of all IC HRT clinics in the world! Go start your HRT 💜 #transgender #trans #transrights

     @jeffcliff @ErinInTheMorn Well the biggest problem with gatekeeping, much like with censorship, or prohibition, is that the people in charge of the gatekeeping will tend to abuse and misuse the power for anti-public interests.
     This is of extra concern in a country where a lack of national standardization or regulation of medical care and treatment (not to mention monopolization by religious organizations) leads to wildly differing and often fundamentalist restrictive gatekeeping, in practice.

     @jeffcliff @ErinInTheMorn
     The commonly accepted definition of "drug pushing" is drug dealers telling you you should try it, knowing you will likely become addicted and thus become a new reliable customer. So, are hormones addictive? Considering everyone has hormones... that would seem to pose a bit of a paradox. Are we all addicted to our genetically determined hormones?

     The same arguments would seem to apply to to T treatments for men, or for that matter, to birth control pills.

     That gatekeeping is there to protect people from making permanent mistakes with their bodies.
     
     This is basically drug pushing on a US national scale

     @ssfckdt @ErinInTheMorn imho this *is* a question of T treatments for men: men shouldn't just take T without going through whatever process exists to verify they are doing so safely and usually doing so is clearly a legal grey area.
