But no amount of “cross-sex” hormones, taken for any length of time, will cause a female body to become male, nor will a male ever become female.
Hormone imbalances can exacerbate anxiety, depression, and even suicidal ideation. However, gender clinicians do not monitor these symptoms from medical side effects. In fact, when these symptoms arise (which is common), they are attributed to minority stress, not the medication itself.
After a period on hormone replacement therapy, some of these boys will follow a surgical path that includes castration and the construction of a vagina-like orifice using the penis as material. Without testicles, a boy will become dependent on external hormones for the rest of his life. Girls on this path will experience vaginal atrophy from testosterone, and eventually her other sex organs will be destroyed as well. Because of this, a girl on testosterone will eventually require a hysterectomy, after which she will become dependent on external hormones for the rest of her life.
For boys and girls in this situation, and for people like me, maintaining our health is wholly dependent on the medical system. We must have regular blood tests (at least once a year), and we must report in to our providers to obtain renewals for our cross-sex hormone prescription. These hormone treatments are no longer optional: we have no gonads. Without these hormones our bones will become frail and we will experience other physical symptoms, including mental health problems, because hormones regulate our entire bodies.
I am permanently leashed to a medical provider. My only freedom is that I can pick who holds the leash. The children who are being transitioned are being needlessly put onto this leash.
Interestingly a google suggests no one is talking about a paging error. The page number is in the URL, I've tried changing that and it does not work.
