“In today’s episode, Dr. Jaime Hoerricks, a trans woman and autistic person, describes experiencing cyclical emotional and physical changes after starting hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Their account highlights a significant lack of research on this phenomenon, emphasising the need for more inclusive studies into the lived experiences of trans women on HRT. Dr. Hoerricks’s research journey reveals the prevalence of transphobic narratives and the difficulty of finding relevant information, advocating for sharing personal stories to fill this research gap. They argue that this absence reflects a broader societal failure to acknowledge trans identities as valid and complete. Ultimately, they call for greater inclusivity in medical research and a more nuanced understanding of the diverse ways bodies respond to hormonal changes.”Here’s the link to the source article: https://open.substack.com/pub/autside/p/the-periods-we-create-lived-experiencesLet me know what you think.The AutSide is a reader-supported publication.
