  • I want to make a few things clear before I go any further: body / gender dysmorphia is not something that magically begins at the age of 18, and the idea that treatment for it should be held off until that age is as ridiculous as implying depression or anxiety not be treated until then. There’s also a myriad of reasons as to why someone under 18 would want to seek this treatment without their parents’ knowledge.

    And in fact if you wait until 18 to provide any treatment, they’ll probably have greater dysphoria for the rest of their life from a puberty that is only partially reversible since you made them wait years without HRT or blockers, and usually requires surgery orders of magnitude more expensive, time consuming, and painful than early blockers would’ve been



  • i do have a microSD card, it’s broken and I’ve needed to retransfer over the data 4 times, whilst my internal storage has never failed (on my current Motorola g73 phone)

    My phone isn’t my only backup, but I can’t carry my server and laptop with me everywhere, and multiple times it’s been useful to have a local backup of various kinds of data

    I do still store some data on my microSD card, but it is really annoying having to transfer it back again every time it breaks and it means I can’t store anything I always need to have on it
