Yeah, obviously trans people are being affected the most here, but if I could add my two cents as a cis woman with PCOS — I’m terrified of this spreading elsewhere. I have a deeper voice, excess body hair, and other subtle masculine features because of high testosterone. I take the same t blocker a lot of trans women do. And I know there are thousands, if not millions of other cis women just like me who could now be targets.

I’m the exact same: PCOS, but also 6’0 and built like a linebacker. I had to stop posting anything with my face on line because I got horrific comments from people who assumed I was a trans woman.

I was already immunocompromised and did it, but now I do it religiously to hide any facial hair I didn’t get while shaving. I’m terrified that one day I’ll be accused of it in person.
