       With much of Europe facing record levels of heat right now it feels like a good time to remind all my trans, nonbinary, and GNC friends:If you take estrogen you are more sensitive to heat and more prone to heatstroke.If you also take an SSRI like Citalopram or Sertraline you are even *more * sensitive.Stay cool and safe, but do NOT stop taking your meds!

       Why?Taking long-term medication isn't like an on/off switch, and your heat tolerance would take quite some time to reset.Meanwhile the withdrawal symptoms both from HRT and SSRIs make you quite unwell after a day or two and will make you LESS effective at combatting the heat.TLDR: take your meds, stay safe, and find ways to cool down both yourself and your surroundings.You got this!
