We know about the effects of sex hormones on pregnant women, on women and teenage girls who go through menstruation every month, on women who goes through menopause and men who goes through andropause, we know the effects of testosterone and steroids on the human body, we know about at least some of the effects of having our bodies in state of hormonal imbalance, yet it is all ignored when it comes to "gender affirming care". Blows my mind every time.
Hormones are given like candies without taking into account the effects of the hormones. What they call "possible side effects" are not "side effects", it's just the effects of the hormones. They give it to people with normal hormone levels, this isn't going to fix anything, it's just going to ruin their bodies. Studies are made about whether "gender affirming care" improves mental health or not, ignoring the effects of the hormones themselves completely. Maybe this young woman is happier now not because her body is more "aligned with her gender identity", but because the testosterone is a known mood enhancer, ever thought about that? But no, they just ignore it completely. Young people are taking sex hormones and feel happier and think this means they were right about their gender identify and they are on the right path, they are going to live their best authentic life; meanwhile this is just the direct effects of the hormones, their body is falling apart and they are often unstable emotionally, which are also direct effects of the hormones, but all of this is just ignored.
I know I'm not saying anything new here, but from to time, when my mood and body are effected by the fluctuation in my hormones again due to my menstruation cycle, it just hits me. I can't get over how these known facts, backed by years of actual science, are simply ignored in favor of some magical belief in some gender-soul. Simply unbelievable.
