So a big part of pre-bottom-surgery for trans women is having to come off hormones for 2-6 weeks before surgery because "estrogen increases likelihood of blood clots".

But like, afab ppl who's primary sex hormone is estrogen aren't told to take estrogen blockers prior to major surgery.

Unless there's a very specific reason why people on synthetic estrogen are more at risk: this is fucked up actually.

@quantified Well, taking estrogen supplements isn't the same as estrogen simply being your primary sex hormone. I wonder if AFAB ppl who take estrogen for menopause and things like that would have to stop it for surgery, that would be the real question
