this has probably been done before, but i'm curious to see!

what is your gender identity?

cisgender

transgender

nonbinary

genderqueer

multigender (bigender, trigender, pangender etc.)

genderfluid

agender

xenogender

demiboy/girl/flux

multiple of these

none of these/other (put in tags?)

unsure/questioning

unfortunately bc of the 12 option limit i couldn't include everything, so i went with the ones i remembered off the top of my head!

So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)

Reblog to increase sample size!

💉 HRT ANNOUNCEMENT 💉

YOU NEED TO ASPIRATE BEFORE INJECTING.

I’ve known many individuals who were never told by medical professionals to aspirate, which is unacceptable on behalf of endocrinology. This is an extremely important step because if you accidentally inject into a vein, you can literally die.

“I’ve never aspirated and I’ve been fine” until you’re not.  “My doctor never told me to aspirate” because trans healthcare has yet to be standardized and is a work in progress. “The area I inject in has little to no blood vessels” but there are so many people who don’t know which areas are safest and it’s better to be safe than sorry.

How To Aspirate: Stick yourself with the needle and then draw back on the syringe. If your syringe fills with blood, you need to reposition your needle. If it doesn’t fill with blood, you’re safe to inject there.

Signs that you’ve injected into a vein: — Stroke — Shortness of breath — Coughing — Chest and/or abdominal pain — Low Oxygen — Blood clots — Slurred speech — Headache — Swelling — Tenderness

Literally just aspirate because it takes 2 seconds and can save your life.

Please share this post so that this practice becomes more common!

34,000 deaths is clearly an appalling undercount when watchdog groups learn about mass graves like this every week.
