Trans Journey Day 109: Trans validation comes in weird ways on T, including ‘medically’. CW: TMI, the-part-that-shall-not-be-named (yeah, that works on a few levels, lol), and medical self-neglect.

I stumbled upon two minor cysts in… the-part-that-shall-not-be-named. That’s new!

So I Googled, because that’s my style (hence the medical self-neglect CW).

Turns out, they may be Bartholin’s Cysts.

“Bartholin’s glands… secrete fluid that helps lubricate the… [ya know]”

DHEA is a hormone.

DHEA helps to make other hormones, like testosterone in men and estrogen in women

High levels of DHEA-S “in women [grrrr]” cause masculinization.

Lurie and Katz (1997) found Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) concentrations were higher in test subjects with Bartholin’s abscess.

Conclusion:

WEIRDLY VALIDATED!

If you just found me, follow my journey on T!
