Transfems should Strongly Consider:

- Get Hepatitis B vaccine
- Get HPV / Gardisil vaccine

I mean it. Yes, you. Let me explain:

I hate having to spell this out, but even if you're Ace, Monogamous, rigorously safe with your partners, or just not sexually active, you are a walking risk profile. I hope I shouldn't have to explain V-coding (look it up if you're transfem and in a decent headspace) or the *extremely high risks* you face just by *seeing the inside of a jail cell* overnight as a result of, say, protesting, using a public restroom, using a driver's license that has a different sex marker than a cop wants to see, "cross-dressing", etc.

Let alone other factors that would lead to an assault.

I don't want to scare anyone more than you already are, but also, if I'm assaulted, I don't want to deal with the effects of HPV and Hep B on top of all of that. Just a couple less things to worry about and add to my trauma, and something relatively easy to address with your PCP.

I hate that we have to plan for this shit. I fucking hate it.

And yes, this advice applies to literally anyone, please everyone get vaccinated, but the risks for transfems especially right now and in the coming months and years are increasingly extreme.
