Doctors Don’t Use Reddit
Just saying.
They also don’t use
Quora and honestly
It’s extremely, extraordinarily easy
To pretend as if you are a doctor
On any of those platforms, including
Countless others.
You know what’s
Especially alarming ?
A lot of people
Trans or not
Are relying on
The internet for their healthcare,
Never once doubting
The simplistic, fatphobic dialogue
Never once doubting
The most optimistic of trans blogs —
If you are like me,
An idiot who actually sees
His endocrinologist regularly
Who actually goes to
A real fucking doctor—
You probably also know
How common it is
For some jackass
Who reads
Marks daily apple /primal blueprint
To give you advice on
Health and nutrition
And how
Anyone who is fat
Eats too much and sits too often
And how
Eating coconut oil
Will magically make
You look good naked—
Even if all you get
Is gallstones and a tummy ache.
