They had to start a GoFundMe because none of the 15 arts and heritage funders they approached wanted to support an exhibition on menopause! They are still taking donations: https://www.gofundme.com/f/r9tszw

To get you excited about our upcoming #Menopause exhibition, here's an old thread exploring why we go through menopause based on insights from killer whales! https://masto.ai/@vagina_museum/110378569676074998

It's the last few hours before we close our #Menopause fundraiser. The clock is ticking! Will you join hundreds of people in supporting an exhibition that no arts or heritage funder would? https://www.gofundme.com/f/r9tszw

On Friday we are closing our #Menopause fundraiser. It's time for a last hurrah of fundraising for this programme! We raised about half of our target, which is enough for the exhibition to open to the public on 1st March, but we need more to do this topic justice! https://www.gofundme.com/f/r9tszw

The #National #Institute for #Health and #Care #Excellence (#NICE) has updated its #guidance on #menopause, saying #HRT, which is a #treatment #option, is #safe to use.

NEW blog

Halloween is coming up, so I wrote about one of my biggest fears:

I am absolutely terrified of the #menopause.

Massive thanks to @Mollysdailykiss for her wisdom and insight here, if you scroll to the bottom of this post you can hear a clip from the interview we did where she shares her experience.

For those dealing with peri-menopause and/or menopause issues, we've highlighted various AskMetaFilter questions about these natural, but woefully understood, phases in a woman's life.

https://bestof.metafilter.com/2024/10/Peri-menopause-and-menopause-questions-on-AskMetaFilter

From someone I know:

“REQUEST: Market Research… targeted towards people who identify as women, experiencing peri-menopause or menopause. My wife is starting her business (www.brisqette.com) and is looking to learn and understand more about her target market. If you have a minute (average response time is <50s) we’d appreciate your insight. The survey is entirely anonymous, with no personal identifiable information captured.”

To all of the people on T:

Please tell me how long I have to put up with the horrible hot flashes/ soaking sweats?

I skipped my shot this week and within 2 days I noticed a difference. I'm just nowhere near as disgustingly wet on a daily basis after minimal action.

I can't live in a house that's 60°. I can't afford it. Does this ever become easier? Does it ever stop? My doctors just shrug and say yeah testosterone does that.

I've been on T for 2 years now and over a year at my current dose. Brain wise, I'm a lot happier on T but I'm not sure I can live in the body if I just have to deal with epic levels of sweat from activities like dusting or sweeping.

I'm definitely open for advice here. Share this one widely. I know way more trans femmes than I do trans mascs.
