okay you guys

I went to my BITCHY big eyed doctor today. She says the law doesn't allow me to get T until I'm an adult.

What is this BS?   

How am I supposed to live?

Dear kody,

I dont know where your from so because of that I dont know your rules for sure.
there might be rules where you live who say you has to be 18, in that case what you need to do is to move on in a way where you dont stop.
I know its very hard, I myself was refused homones threatment because I wasnt 18, and the way I survived was to be very focused and prepearing to use the time insteed of just waiting so I knew I would be ready the day I turned 18.
kinda like doing all the work so you wont have to deal with it later.

ex, is to save up money, to educate yourself about it, or other things who is non-trans related but who also are something you'll need to do, most important is just not to stay still, its a killing spot who dosent leave any good and where you just waste your time on waiting and being depressing.
---
however, .... this is for if you really can't get homones cause its the law, but in some caises doctors say its illegal when its not. in my caise it wasnt actually illegal but my doctor just refused to work with me.
you better go check it up for yourself, cause there might be a chance its not illegal and you can get homones by another doctor. try ask transgender people in your country/location, about those things.

if your body isnt ready for homones you might try seach for t blockers, again I dont know where your from or your age, so it all depends on those facts.

wish you luck.

Guys call each other bitches. It is common in my area to call another guy a bitch if he is being nit-picky.

Word. I kinda thought it was a gay-guy thing, but I think it's one of those things that has bled out into the broader culture. "Bitch" is rapidly becoming unisex. I've always called my gay male friends bitches, mostly when poking fun totally in jest over some mild annoyance, but I now call even my str8 cis male friends bitches and they just think it's hilarious. I just know if I'm ever hanging out with an FtM, I'm going to slip and cause great offense before I can catch myself.

Actually, it's common practice (at least here it is) to prescribe hormone blockers until a teenager is fully grown and start testosterone and thus male puberty late rather than early.

Do you uh not understand how this word came to be used in this context?  Look up "misogyny".

Common usage doesn't negate a word being problematic or erase it's history.   It might not matter if sexism wasn't still alive and well, but it is.   Or do you guys think it's just swell when a straight person says "I didn't mean to call him gay like homosexual!  It doesn't mean just that!".

Oh, since that's a total hijack of this thread.  To the OP:  sorry that's happening, dude.  Good luck finding a better doc.

"Bitch" can be a derogatory term towards women, but there are many other meanings one could look for and find in that word. Since there is no evidence to support the sexist or "gender-bashing" meaning, one can not conclude there was any sexism.

What was said was actually meant without any sexism intended. There is nothing to lead one to believe that is where the conversation was going. Keep in mind that, not only was conformer not using it as a sexist term, he had not mentioned the doctor's gender at all. He was simply speaking to the overall behavior of the doctor, making her a bitch by this definition:

"A person - who could be of either gender, but stereotypically is a woman - who allows their spur-of-the-moment negative emotional reactions to play far too large a role in their dealings with others."
