It feels insanely itchy to me if my clothes are tight, no matter how soft the fabric is. If it's snug it feels like I'm walking around in an itchy wool sweater.

If you can't bring yourself to value trans lives (Which you SHOULD), then you need to at least acknowledge that helping trans folks access gender affirming care, is intrinsically intwined with those of us cis folks who are intersex by default.

And THIS is why I say that trans issues are women's issues too.
Oof. I'm not trans but as a cis woman with an intersex condition, this still hits home for me. In that sense the IUD really helps me. Having to go without one for months, reminded me of how chaotic my internal life is without it.

My EYESIGHT got a smidgen better on T. Not enough to no longer need specs, but it did delay the need for new ones.
in my guesstimation of talking to hundreds of trans people of all genders who desire HRT, about ~75% of us report, within a few WEEKS of our first doses, our minds calming and becoming a habitable place for us for the first time in our lives

But I AM late for $275 storage, which was due the 1st. If I can't catch it quickly, they'll slap a $50 late fee on it, and if it's VERY late, they'll auction off my unit.
Please help if able?

YES. For snakes' sake, at the VERY least don't outsource what you should invest EMOTION into.
Don't be afraid of your emotions. Don't bottle them up. Catharsis is a crucial part of dealing with them healthily!
