Similar thoughts have been crossing my mind ever since learning that the spate of dysphoria and anxiety I've experienced over the last couple of months was due to a rapid and prolonged return to male level testosterone. An outcome that my endocrinologist initially made me feel foolish for thinking was likely, as she sent me away with a new HRT regimen that she would later admit she never considered likely to be effective. This experience has radicalised me. My endocrinologist is not my friend or my ally; she's my puppet. She writes the scripts and the referrals I need, while I dictate the appropriate course of treatment. I cannot afford an orchiectomy, but if a DIY option came up... I'd consider it.
rampant medical abuse in transition care has belied the legitimacy of the entire medical profession in my mind; there are so many quacks out there and not just when it comes to transition
Same. Including the edit. I’m 1.96 m and have finally started to not let my height get to me. I have bad days now and then, but I can tell overall it’s getting better because my posture is slowly improving due to actually standing all the way up.
