since gender affirming care is gatekept in so many ways here, including "your suffering must be severe enough", i have decided to now treat gender dysphoria as a valid reason for calling in sick. and the next time someone asks what i was sick with, i'm not going to say "oh it's endocrine" like i did today. i'll just be blunt about it. why do you ask if not for knowing?
they need to know better then to ask in public though, wtf
