Honestly, I almost never see people talk about the risks on going off hormones. I feel like more open conversation about this could have helped me a lot.

We have been seeing some discourse on it thanks to brexit, covid and supply chain issues in the UK, but the discourse is Not Good. Has included transphobes and healthcare professionals saying "it's no big deal if trans folks come off HRT"
Ugh, I'm sorry they're being so dismissive, especially the healthcare professionals. I've met a few people who've gone off t and developed serious complications. Not saying it's common but it does happen and folks deserve healthcare and resources for when it does.

Also pissed there's been little research into the potential health impacts of taking hormones temporarily. People stop for all kinds of reasons and some people start taking them with the intention of stopping once they get the permanent changes they want.

Knowing more about that would help both trans and detrans people. I don't think there are any standards for how to safely stop taking hormones. Feel like that's something we should have access to at this point.
