As one of the tens of millions of women summarily yanked off and then denied exogenous estrogen for menopause because of the findings of the Women's Health Initiative Study Results study released in 2002

That sounds awful, I'm so sorry :(

Yeah I don't blame you, hormone imbalance always contributes to my depression as well, the times I've been missing medication weren't pleasant. I definitely think you should have access to that if you want it.

I know that's not what you intend, but since you are so hyper-focused on and worried about how others perceive you, I think it's worth mentioning.

I used to worry about it a ton with people online but now I would rather be honest than be afraid to say what I'm thinking, I guess. But I'm not like, an unfeeling person or anything, I don't wish badly on anyone here.

And idk how I could "represent" cis women or female anatomy and physiology with my thoughts, because I'm not a cis woman.

I appreciate you engaging. You have put up with a lot of opposition here in the past couple of days, and you have been a really good sport about it. You could have just packed off in a huff long ago.

Since I've given you negative feedback, here's a bit of positive: you're showing a considerable amount of "good faith" and resilience. I find that very impressive and admirable. I tip my hat to you.

I really do wish you well. Please if you go ahead with your surgeries, let people here know. Take care.

Thanks! Idk I don't let myself be angry, especially not over this. Hating anyone just eats at me so I try to speak in good faith, I guess.

Also wait, why would I tell people here when I get surgery? Like, do you mean based on my results?

I would like to know you’re well after surgery. No details about your body are needed, but I’ll hope you’re recovering well.

Thanks, yeah the hardest bit is finding the time to take off work so I can have time to recover. I'll probably just tell them I'm going on vacation.
