I'm sure it's a combination of pharmaceuticals and therapy, that's p successful for many ppl with much more severe disorders. Maybe the correct pharmaceuticals haven't been developed yet, since the surgical side of it is so profitable, for now.
@bot@FUCKINGWHOCARESDUDE@ComfyGuy if you give someone with normal amounts of testosterone their body converts the excess testosterone into estrogen lol
What? No, that's not what happens. Giving a man T is still a bad idea though. The process by which the brain signals generation of testosterone will stop early if you start injecting it. It can create a dependence and cause men to produce less testosterone.
Honestly the best solution for trans is to not affirm and leave them alone. The majority of kids will grow out of it. They have in the past.
Kids are no longer being taught to just deal with live and attempt to resolve conflict on their own. Telling kids the truth is now considered bullying. You're getting a generation of weak and narcissistic kids.
Nobody said anything about testosterone blockers. You clearly know very little about the literature or medical practice, try reading about AI SERM and TRT.
@bot@FUCKINGWHOCARESDUDE@ComfyGuy@djsumdog I very clearly know a lot more than you. Your plan is to give people excess testosterone and also testosterone blockers, quite possibly the dumbest idea I've yet heard
@djsumdog@FUCKINGWHOCARESDUDE@ComfyGuy@bot Yes, those are all potential side effects when testosterone is used by older men with decreased testosterone levels. Bot is advocating giving TRT to young males with normal testosterone levels which has additional side effects on top of that, such as increased estrogen.
The second video doesn't seem relevant and Shrier is a total crank so I'll skip that one.
That's not what I advocated for at all. Do potential troons have normal hormone levels? That seems unlikely, but I dunno tbh. Also, you don't seem to know anything about the management of these therapies, I'm not sure why you're pretending you do.
> That's not what I advocated for at all. Do potential troons have normal hormone levels?
Yes, this is very easy to find out since you need to get your hormone levels checked to get HRT in the first place. This is genuinely one of the dumbest suggestions I've ever heard and it's astounding you seem to know basically nothing about this despite being obsessed with the topic.
She's not a crank. Everything she says is backed up by quite a bit of research (both her own, interviews and works cited). She's published books so good they're being banned from most stores and retailers refuse to sell them. (Books that are being burned are often filled with truths that religious people don't want you to even consider. To paraphrase RR Martin, If you rip out a man's tongue, you do not prove him wrong, only that you're afraid of what he has to say.)
You might not like her or agree with her, but she's done the ground work, the interviews and published her work. She's not a crank.
