When you got to the brain matter decrease in males in the Discussion section my jaw actually dropped.
By your figure, then, that would be a ~30x decrease in brain matter over the course of a year (10x decrease over four months, 12 months in a year...) for a male being administered estrogen/anti-androgen. Or: a male transitioned may well lose 1/3rd of his brain capacity in the span of a year.
This dovetails pretty clearly into broader concerns regarding the general trajectory of anyone caught early in this treadmill, namely that they're virtually guaranteed to pursue this regimen for the rest of their lives. Especially if their reduced brain capacity directly impacts their ability to process and make decisions based on information, or to perform self-advocacy or put up boundaries.
Thank you, Exulansic. May we flip tables together one day.
To paraphrase the immortal words from Logan's Run: There Is No Gender Sanctuary.
"Trans kids": the zombie idea that is eating our kids' brains
How is this a thing? These are monsters
So I can expect to be unwell the rest of my life. I'm on social security so I will be underserved
Unless, of course, you declare yourself to be "trans." Then you will get gold-plated health care on a silver platter. Go figure.
As a result of cross-sex hormones?

Unconscionable.
I wonder if they also think you can unfry an egg.
