    Fresh water, like, from a fridge. I’m autistic and if the water is not fresh enough, I find it really hard to drink.

    Otherwise, I guess my Hormone Replacement Therapy is a luxury? I can’t live without it. My anxious brain often think about what would happen if my government was to “change”, if I was locked up somewhere against my will, or the societal system we live in was to completely collapse,and how I could lose my treatments from that. It’s very scary.

      AFAIC your HRT is not a “luxury” any more than any other medical necessity.

      Hey Omega i hear you totally and you’re not scared of your shadow, it’s a valid fear. Remember no politics in this community though. And that we have your back 100%

        it’s not my fault if my very existence is a political issue, it’s kind of hard to avoid when talking about my womanhood :(

            I do think it’s important not to flood this space with news and fear and so it’s a good rule to not allow people to shoehorn politics into everything. Obviously sometimes it’s integral to the topic at hand and it will come up - no one should have to hide who they are.

            (In this case I don’t think bringing up fears about losing our rights is uncalled for or off topic - it’s a reality women face all across the world, whether it’s reproductive rights or the right to take hrt. I’m just saying the comm’s rule as a whole has merit.)
