Oct 16, 2026, 6:49 PM@ticky I don't, but I have a number of friends who are trans and others who are cis on HRT (menopause or hysterectomy), and I'd guess they all would have overlapping issues in terms of cycles. I know there are issues with HRT drug access at the moment in the US from a cis friend for example. You might have already thought of that, but sometimes I look for too narrow solutions so thought I'd mention those as possible sources. Hope things are ok.

@astraluma damn, this is a good read…!
Tanith the Gaytanith@artemislena.euOct 18, 2026, 9:05 AM@ticky @astraluma Yeah it's been useful as a starting point for our thesis altho looking at the sources cited we couldn't verify every claim. Specifically that gene mentioned is never mentioned in the original paper (n also we don't think there is such a gene, GnRH1-5 is a GnRH derivative, not sth ur ribosomes'd directly make)
Jackiejackielovescompchem32@scicomm.xyzOct 17, 2026, 1:40 AMNobody takes it seriously and any kind of gender related health needs in trans women are laughed at. It's legitimately worse than cis women's healthcare, and the bar is already in hell.

@tanith amazing! I will look forward to it... how can I get notified when it's out?

@ticky Could prolly follow me or one'a my headmates (dw, we don't post much). It's gonna involve a survey also n ya might wanna participate in that as it's for all transfem people n larger dataset means higher quality results.
Otherwise, poke me again by end'a February Ig.
