So just to provide also like a little bit of a peek into kind of the broader landscape of this, our clinic is not alone in their confusion on how they've been handling this. Not only FQHCs, but also hospital-affiliated clinics, academic medical clinics have basically clinic by clinic decided on their own plan on how to manage this, which is also incredibly confusing for providers and for patients.

But something that was really heartening was that NYU Langone, this was in the news recently, they canceled appointments for two kids, literally just two kids, which is more than enough. And it sparked this enormous outcry and protests. And so I think there's also, on my end, a lot of solidarity building with other providers who are doing this work and a lot of inspiration.

There are clinics out there, some who are FQHCs like us, who have stood firm and they've said, our doors are going to stay open. We're going to keep providing this care. And so I think there are models out there. And I think that there are networks of healthcare providers who are committed to continue to advocate and just continue to do this, right?

Because a lot of what we're facing right now is intimidation. It's not actual legal threats as of yet.

And one thing that's interesting, I think, is that with trans healthcare, trans healthcare is inherently radical. Like trans healthcare is not something that came from the kind of medical hierarchy. This is by and large a field that was communal. Trans people were doing their own trans healthcare before it became kind of institutionalized into a lot of these spaces.

So I think we also have a lot of providers who are willing to fuck shit up, right? the community and the providers are intertwined. And I do think there is a real kind of radical bent to this type of work, which is why I think a lot of us have been so easily able to collectivize and strategize and kind of come together. It's a pretty small world as well.

Yeah. So as a medical provider, again, I have to be a little bit careful here, but basically because testosterone has been used by mostly the cis male community as an anabolic steroid and used in some that would call like anabolic steroid misuse or steroid use disorder, it is a controlled substance. Estradiol is not. They're both bioidentical hormones. Every human on this planet, their body makes
