  • Status is not correct "I don’t have sources but this is coming from me, a 16yo MTF in Wheeling, WV. I’m actively receiving estrogen and spironolactone through a clinic made specifically for LGBTQIA+ people. I’ve been getting gender affirming care since July 2022. If you need any proof please email me at [email protected] Xx https://www.link.com/"
