Today we debunk the myth that medical trans affirming care is ‘purely cosmetic’ and ‘non-essential’, which is used to attack said care. We not only explore the toxic origins of this myth, but go over multiple studies to build a solid consensus on this scientific wonder.

Sorry this video took so long to get out, I recorded it right before I underwent (planned) medical withdrawal which absolutely destroyed me. Feeling mostly normal, just got some insomnia (NO medical advice wanted, please. I'm on both magnesium glycinate and melatonin to try and help with that).
