Not warning the vulnerable young women and girls about all of these utterly horrifying side-effects needs to be treated as the atrocity that it truly is. It requires serious prison time, surely.

It's all about being your 'true self' though right?

And nothing says 'true self' like getting your actual self mutilated and drugged out of existence.

That stuff is poison! It kills men who take it to excess, there's a reason so many steroid users drop dead in their 30's.

Taking testosterone as a female will almost certainly knock 5-10 years of your life expectancy. We have not yet seen any octogenarian "trans men" so there is no data on this but a disproportionate number of them seem to meet an early demise.

The only data we have is from the Eastern Bloc athletes in the 1980s. The current trend is too recent. But those athletes all died young.

5:07 No, I really don't recommend taking Depo-Provera either! It has ghastly side effects also. What I might recommend is taking a relatively low dose monophasic contraceptive pill.

Every single time I hear these people defend this indefensible form of eugenics against young women I'm horrified anew, tbh.

Good grief! Does no one do their own research? Or are they just blindly trusting someone that can make money off of them?

Wonder how many of these women/girls have borderline personality disorder. Self-harm is often a symptom.

Most people go thru life floating along and hoping things will be fine. I've met TWO diabetic women who are ignoring it and hoping for the best. One has dropped so much weight that it's obviously a crisis, but she thinks it’s fine and now...she's skinny!!!🎉🎉I expect her to go into a coma any day. People are clueless. They don't want to know

Yea, I know you're right. The Bible in my household growing up was Consumer Reports. Not the norm, but much more helpful when it comes to not being swindled.

Sad about the women ignoring their diabetes. Makes me think of runawaysiren, she is missed.

Oh, good fkn Goddess! Nothing like a diabetic crisis and ultimately coma to hurry along a "little bit of weight loss, huh? 🙃🙄🤪

Maybe she thinks 'at least I'll die thin'. Crazy, of course, but there are women that would think that.

Neither one has health insurance in America. This is all what healthcare for profit looks like, folks

Semi-related, it's also scary how much that it has been normalized for people to be massively unhealthy. Over 70% of people are now overweight or obese. Most people I know are on some kind of medication for diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol, depression; many of them on multiple meds. So of course if someone randomly gains or loses a ton of weight without any lifestyle changes, many people don't even think anything of it because everyone is so unhealthy.

Also so many people write off bad health conditions as being stress related, because that too has been normalized. I met someone who thought she missed her period and gained a ton of weight because of stress. And then she went to the doctor and found out she was 6 months pregnant.

Yeah, I've met a few women who claimed not to realise that they were pregnant the first time - one to about 6 months and the other fully to term.

I find it very hard to believe tbh. How dissociated from your body would you have to be? Also, I agree with your other points about the average state of health right across the West.

Consider how disassociated from your body that you need to be to think you are, could be, or should become the opposite sex. And how many people are doing this, particularly in the 13-22 year old age bracket. I think it takes less disassociation to ignore or write off as stress symptoms of pregnancy (especially if you're already overweight and/or unhealthy) than it does to become trans, so I'm not too surprised this sometimes happens.

So sad. Some people just don't want to think of the consequences. I have a very dear loved one who just died insisting cigarettes were good for her.

Well don’t you know “doing your own research” makes you a fascist science denier soooo 🙄

Yes, you're right, they should be doing their own research. Much information is online and in library books. Hormones are highly reactive chemicals that can only have the desired effect when modulated in precise molecular amounts in proportion to one another. Any one ingredient out of sync spells disaster- more delicately balanced than the ingredients in a cake or in a nuclear bomb. But they trust the medical profession (that gave us lobotomies, thalidomide & and carcinogenic birth control pills, etc.) as most of us trust doctors, not knowing which are ethical people.

So she hasn't yet attached a pus-filled arm meat dangler to her groin yet. Maybe this will make her think twice.

Yes. Estrogen suppression causes a whole new set of problems. I had chemotherapy at age 40 to fry my ovaries since the breast cancer was both estrogen and progesterone positive. The chemo probably saved my life but in the 26 years since, I've had hot flashes almost nonstop. Finally at 66, they are subsiding. I have osteoporosis and osteopenia in every bone that the bone density scan checks. I also had an overactive parathyroid gland that had to be removed as it was dumping my calcium into my blood instead of my bones. Ladies, estrogen really is quite necessary despite your "man feels".

I'm old enough to remember an oil product tested in snack foods got pulled off the market when people discovered one side effect to be anal leakage.
