@EasyE With my background in Behavioral Sciences I do go to actual conferences for the medical and psychological professionals that deal with Trans Youth, and in those conferences, the ethics of "too fast" versus "too slow and restrictive" are a heavy concern. There is very thoughtful sharing among the participants for making professional judgments that the therapist is comfortable with without being afraid of what is "too soon" or "not soon enough" to advance to medical prescription therapies. The ethics of what constitute reasonable caution or unreasonable delay are deeply at play in those situations, with the idea to prevent harm while alleviating the patient's stress and other issues. This type of conference fulfills Continuing Education license requirements that most states and other areas have. From them the therapist may seem to "speed up" their evaluation process, but it is based on the accumulated experience of colleagues, just as is true in other professions and yes, even trades. -

That's wonderful news!! I took our pup in for her Vet check today - perfect. She slept 7 hours last evening and is coming along really well with her house breaking and crate training. I know you'll have some excitement with a new Boxer!! -

Surgeries are drastic, and indeed should be a last resort for minors. As indeed they are. It is very rare for anyone under 18 to get gender-affirming surgery. It is typically only done if the person would be suicidal without it. Puberty blockers are a way to avoid the "drastic measure" of forcing the person to undergo the wrong puberty. They should not be prescribed lightly, and I don't think they are. They are a way to go slow until the person can truly make an informed decision. -

My Endo keeps track of several trace chemicals in my blood system that can be affected by our slightly different hormone balance, keeping in mind we have had both hormones all our life, just in different balance. I did have to change one diuretic I was taking that was crashing out one chemical that does affect energy levels, and it turned out that Spiro was the alternative to that one for the way it works there. I was never on Spiro for the hormone issues per se. Let your doctor know about the fatigue sometime today or whenever you read this. -

Hmmm . . . if I only had a ten-word description that completely described my identity. That would be great, but one doesn't exist. "I'm a girl—and a boy. And neither—and both?" There. Now you know, right? Maybe not. —Davie -

I think you should discuss it with your doctor. I know you are 'asking around' but experience probably varies. -

This one is behind a pretty heavy pay-wall, for me $50 US/per year. -

I had heard the story of Nicks-Buckingham but not the rest. Olsen was prolific. -

That looks good, thanks Ivy. -

I completely relate to this. My partner of 5 years has made it clear she won't be going with me if I go down this path. I feel like I wasted her time with my own fear and procrastination. I visit my elderly parents (my mother has dementia) and my first thought is there's no way I can put them through this. I think the same thing when I see my adult daughters. Nobody is holding us hostage but us. -

I do get this, really. However this is part of the reasoning behind the blockers. Without them there will be "irreversible" changes, only not the ones wanted. No, I don't think this should be done lightly, but I have a problem with forbidding it by law in all cases. -
