As an AFAB enby with endo, I’m really struggling to not feel depressed with gender dysphoria. I got an IUD bc monthly periods were extremely painful physically and emotionally destroying me along with making me feel dysphoric even before I came out as non-binary. The IUD stopped a lot of my symptoms but over these last few months, it seems like the symptoms came back with a vengeance.
They found a 3 cm hemorrhagic cyst on my right ovary which provided some clarity to the issues I’ve been having recently. However, having to go through so many ob appointments and tests has really impacted me feel less than valid as an enby person.
Does anyone else have this experience? Have you found anything that helps you feel valid in your identity when going through a gendered process like this? Please only answer if you’re non-binary or trans.
Name hasn’t been major for me. My preferred and legal are the same thankfully but they misgender me a lot. Using she/her instead of they/them is incredibly invalidating and surprisingly the place I go markets themselves as LGBTQ friendly. I don’t bleed anymore with the IUD. But the cup is a great solution for any folks uncomfortable with menstruation. Thank you for your feedback

I’d be so willing to help put together a Trans endo group! Can you also point me in the direction of some things that helped you segregate gender from health issues, especially endo?
