    There’s been feminizing HRT for a good several decades; probably at least half a century. It’s become more available, as has knowledge of trans people in general, but it isn’t all that new.

      yeah insulin (for diabetes people) also was available in 1900. just that it was very tedious to produce it back then (it had to be extracted from the internal organs of slaughtered farm animals). it became widely available and very cheap sometime in the last few decades because of genetically engineered microorganisms. and that helps a lot.
