2009 is like the stone ages of being trans online. The old cd sites are neolithic where they used rocks for hormone treatment

yeah

what do you make of this person knowing about testosterone blockers in 2009? i talk to a lot of cis people now who don't know about them, they must have been basically non-existent in 2009

yeah back then was a magical time to be trans, way less stressful because there wasnt people hunting us down. it still sucked but there were some resources for transition that you can find if you knew what to look for. wait times for surgeries were pretty low and surgeries in general were a bit cheaper

Idk, I don't want to romanticise 2009 too much. Social progress has gone far (in liberal democracies at least) in 2009-2019.
