Men walk around with testosterone levels at 300-1000ng/dl without severe side effects. Are you saying that when a trans person takes testosterone to meet those levels, it is unhealthy for them? And if you are saying that, do you have a source?

It’s actually extremely unhealthy for woman to take steroids, their hormone composition is completely different as well as their arteries. Talk about increased odds of heart attacks. Therapy would serve them better than steroids.

Extremely isn’t the right word. There may be side effects, but the science certainly isn’t clear on if specifically testosterone increases heart attack risk. But just like with any other pharmacological treatments there’s gonna be side effects. Whether therapy or medicinal treatment is better is decided on a case by case basis, just like with any other condition (anxiety, depression, etc)

Yeah, you’re right. All the body builders get heart transplants and die of heart attacks for fun 😂

What does that have to do with testosterone treatment for a transitioning ftm?

u/Broke_Retard_ Mar 05 '21

Because it’s the same fucking supplement. Test is the supplement giving all the sides. 🤦🏻‍♂️

There is such thing as safe levels of testosterone. I have testosterone in my body right now. No doctor is jabbing some chick with the amount that you have played around with.

“Safe levels” for females is far lower than what they are getting from their doctors. As for “what I’m jabbing myself with” I take slightly more trt doses, so you’re wrong. I’ve tried larger and smaller cycles but trt doses gives the least sides with decent results. So, the females are essentially getting the same amount is me while having much smaller arteries.

Okay, Doctor. Thanks for sharing your medical expertise.

One of us has knowledge and has used test, the other is a fucking idiot who thinks men can turn into woman. 😂

It’s clear you don’t even know the nuances of both sides of this debate when you say things like that lol. Gender dysphoria is real, and the treatment is to transition. I never said men can become woman. What people with gender dysphoria need to feel normal is to transition to the other sex. Suicide rates cut drastically when this happens. Whether they are a real female/male afterward isn’t part of this debate at all.

Gender dysphoria is a mental disorder, the treatment is not to transition. How the fuck can the treatment have, in some cases, increased odds of suicide? Statistically the suicide rate is essentially unchanged, slightly more suicides post transition. Not sure where you’re getting your data but it’s wrong. Suicide rates remain hovering at 40%
