Enabling Self Harm - God’s Good Creation

Two Detransitioners commiserate.

I got hormones after a 10-minute assessment. I got a top surgery letter after a few hours of therapy. I take responsibility for my choices, but I was unwell when I made them. I'll always wish that my healthcare providers had helped me instead of enabling my self harm https://t.co/JmMiPnp8Um

When Grace spoke with her hormone provider and asked a probing question, no commiseration.

Went back and talked to my hormone provider about it. She just didn't really feel like it was her job.

Asked her if she followed WPATH standards of care.

Enthusiastic nod.

"Why didn't you have me do WPATH's mental health assessments?"

"Well, they're more like guidelines"
