Why Is It A 16-year-old GIRL Gets Testosterone, But A 60-year-old MAN Is Denied?
I’ve written before about the absurd prejudice against Hormone Replacement Therapy for both genders, but much more so against biological males.
Doctors who don’t—or won’t—keep up with the science of medicine still quote long-discredited, debunked and erased “studies” claiming all sorts of bogus ill effects of prescription testosterone. Some jerk-off physicians even quote old wives’ tales, such as the claim of shrunken testes, which has never happened to anyone on earth adhering to prescribed dosing.
Kaiser Permanente is an HMO that eagerly and aggressively promotes its hormone services to transgender people. Any 16 year old biological female with a psychiatrist’s evaluation can go to Kaiser and receive testosterone injections, no problem. But try being an older biological male whose low testosterone levels are causing absolute havoc—depression, loss of libido and the increased social isolation that accompanies that, loss of lean muscle mass essential to maintaining a robust immune system and metabolism, loss of physical strength which in turn diminishes one’s mobility, feminization as presented by sagging man-breasts and softened facial features, skin maladies, and more. He can forget about it.
Doctors have freely admitted that they prescribe unneeded pharmaceuticals to patients only to shut them up or keep them as patients; the wholesale prescribing of antibiotics to “treat” viral infections such as the common cold is an excellent example. Antibiotics have no effect whatsoever on viruses, yet doctors continue to dole them out like candy, much to the detriment of humanity as a whole by breeding resistance.
Which tells us we need to be just as vocal and insistent upon receiving testosterone replacement.
