    I have a cis woman friend who’s going through menopause, and often complains about symptoms.

    Her: Is there nothing I can do about this?
    Other friend (cis woman, on HRT for menopause) + me (trans woman, on HRT for girl): ESTROGEN!
    Her: Yeah, but… that’s kind of a big step…

    It’s not just trans people who are scared to commit, y’all.

      Cis women in menopause are a great group to be around. I still struggle with anxiety about being the inexperienced baby trans woman going through puberty in her thirties, but when I find a woman in peri in her late forties at a party we’re both just like “yo hormones are whack”. It’s good common ground.
