Life Updates: Being Trans in Florida Sucks
2 years ago
Anyone that's followed me for a long time knows two things: I'm a trans woman and I've lived in Florida all my life.
Recently, Governor Ron DeSantis signed a new bill into law that went into immediate effect of restricting access to Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for both trans youth and adults. It's banned for anyone under 18 entirely. For adults, the prescription must be written by a physician (and not a nurse practitioner, such as those at Planned Parenthood), and the patient must sign a new consent form. Currently, that form has not been finalized, so any trans person who wants to start or continue HRT in Florida... can't, at least not legally.
When DeSantis signed the bill, I immediately got a message from Planned Parenthood telling me that I won't be able to access my care there for a month while they figure out what to do about these laws. Meanwhile here I am steadily running out of my estradiol and progesterone.
"Couldn't you just buy your meds online?" Maybe, but I need money. I lost my job back in January and haven't been able to find work since. I've applied to over 100 different places, and I've only gotten two interviews despite having a great resume and meeting the applicant qualifications. So I'm stuck, and I'm struggling.
I have shinies enabled here, and I have a PayPal and Ko-fi in my LinkTree link below. If anyone wants to leave me something, or at the very least spreads the word, any help at all is sincerely appreciated.

Their behavior on trans rights and sexuality is kinda the one reason why I can't consider myself conservative, much as the left managed to alienate me into it. DeSantis in particular is a hideous figure, there are worse but ideologically radicalized fanatics absolutely have no place in modern politics... true with both sides once more. While I absolutely don't like Trump in all honesty, I'd take even him over Florida man... other than his stupid border wall he doesn't seem to care, nowadays people who don't care about the lives of others are the safest bet in my book. Good luck and hope things work out well for you!

Florida will never be free of this tyranny, it's best to make plans to leave asap.

Ron Desantis needs to be sanctioned and thrown out of our country

I'm hoping you can move out of the state sometime soon sis.

I hope so too. But it breaks my heart. This has been my home all 32 years of my life and it feels like I’m being forced out.

I hope they finish the consent form asap. This is like rugpulling insulin from diabetics. Stay strong 🙏

I feel like DeSantis would do exactly that if he could get away with it. :v And thanks, I’m doing my best. ❤️
