Reply to comment by [deleted] in [Academic] Research Study Opportunity: Feminizing HRT Study (Massachusetts General Hospital) Seeking Transgender Women and Non-Binary Individuals 16 Yrs and Older Hi everyone! by mgh_transstudy

Oh, where did you get your medical degree? The AMA, APA, ACA, ACE, AAP all disagree with you. Blockers and early HRT would have saved me a lot of harm. Your knowledge of trans people comes from watching one Tucker Carlson segment. Those kids and the doctors live it everyday. You know nothing and your ignorance shows

Shall we disregard my 24 year old cousin who just committed suicide? When she was 16 she was convinced she wanted to be a “he”, started HRT, dressed like a boy, started taking on more and more masculine features , was totally convinced she was a he. At the age of 20 she got her breasts removed, and was in transition to have bottom surgery. Approach age 22, falls into a deep depression, start questioning all choices she, and her parents made, wants her breasts back, and wishes she could have children if her own( which now she is unable to for the remainder of her life) wants to be a normal girl again . A few days after her 24th birthday, she killed herself, but I guess she doesn’t count does she? You are all disgusting, and should be ashamed for encouraging minors to make long term decisions that will impact them for life. Do better.

Im sorry that happened to your cousin. Truly I am and anecdotal evidence doesn’t trump statistical data. I’m sorry she couldn’t access help before making that choice. You don’t get to deny access to thousands of in need teenagers because of the horrible thing that happened to your cousin.

I appreciate it, I just don’t want the same thing to happen to anyone else, who later regrets the decision years down the line, and takes the same path she did. Just not fair.
