MODERATORS
 

For everyone in the US here, there is currently a FDA petition to create a federal registry of all trans women taking HRT. The FDA is currently taking public comments supporting and opposing the petition. Here's a link on how to make your voice heard: https://transresilience.org/issues/fda-registry.

You can comment anonymously if you feel unsafe putting your name out there.

I've read some of the comments and most of them so far seem to be from transphobic ppl.

Thank you for the response! I'm glad I didn't trip over myself in my rush to express what I was feeling while it was fresh in my head.

I'm gonna wait a day or two to make sure nobody else has any suggestions before I submit. I'll post my final version if it changes in any significant way, & confirm submission when I do.

I'm strongly leaning toward including my actual name as an indication of how seriously I take this, but I'm not sure it's worth the risk - both of tying it to my screenname (which goes back at least a quarter century for me on various sites), and the risk of inviting IRL retribution. I know it's unlikely to make any real difference in what the assholes running things currently are likely to do, but I'd also rather not give them an easy excuse to be dismissive of my input. Any thoughts on that?

I had the same thoughts about them dismissing anonymous comments, and I included my full legal deadname for good measure. I definitely do not recommend doing that unless you are fully confident with it
