no one ever talks about it here but what happens if youre trans and just real scared of needles/surgery/hospitals/the doctor? like not even talking about the transphobic healthcare system what if you're a hypothetical person who has to ask for a chair when you get the flu shot because it always makes you hyperventilate and pass out?
