42 year old mod of /r/genderqueer offering prescription hormones to 13 year old. Telling them to come to his apartment and pick them up.

What, exactly, is wrong with social transition? Hormone blockers arent administrated until puberty approaches, and that staves it off for a few more years. It's only when the gender dysphoria is still persistent are the hormones prescribed. That takes place, depending on the patient's endocrinologist, anywhere from 12-16.

Like this.

In a process known as downregulation, daily stimulation of pituitary gonadotropes causes them to become desensitized to the effects of histrelin. As a consequence, levels of LH and FSH fall after a short period of time. From that point forward, as long as histrelin is administered, the levels of LH and FSH in the blood remain low.

This prolonged lowering of LH and FSH levels is the rationale for therapy using GnRH agonists. Since LH and FSH stimulate the gonads to produce estrogens and androgens in females and males respectively, histrelin can effectively be used to decrease the sex steroids in the blood of patients.

Like i said, the usual course of treatment is the administration of puberty blockers. They arent hormones. They just delay the onset of puberty. And the time to administer the hormones is up to the doctor to decide. Some have them as young as 12, others as late as 18.

During this time period, they're monitored so that if the symptoms of gender dysphoria fade, then they are taken off the hormone blockers, and puberty is allowed to proceed according to the gender they were assigned at birth.

Again, for minors under the age of 18, social transition is the recommended course of treatment, as well as the administration of hormone blockers to delay puberty. Then, depending on the doctor, if they show persistent, consistent, and insistent signs of gender dysphoria, the administration of hormones to induce the puberty of the gender that they identify with.

What about it? In that thread we were talking about showering everyone with titty skittles and loading up our needles and giving everyone shots of girl juice. None of it was serious, and they cropped that particular little bit out and posted it on a transphobic website.

These trolls have a habit of going through every post on /r/asktransgender and cherry-picking convos to paste on their hate site.

Well, the trans girls on the sub always joke about showering ourselves with "titty skittles", which is what we call our little blue pills of estrogen. The trans girls like me who take injections, we talk about filling em up and injecting everyone with "girl juice". Nobody thinks we're actually going to do either of those things.

The recommend treatment for any minor who presents with Gender Dysphoria is to seek treatment with a gender therapist, who usually puts them under observation. Then, if they're approaching puberty, the endocrinologist usually prescribes hormone blockers that prevent the body from going thru said puberty.

After that, the doctor then decides whether or not the gender dysphoria is persistent, and if it is, they usually prescribe hormone replacement therapy of the gender they identify with.

And since every person's endocrine system is different, we all have varying regimens. We also dont recommend taking hormones DIY, nor do we recommend, "luring young children to our apartment" to inject them with unprescribed hormones.

The other user in that comment is someone that i've known for awhile, and she's currently on hormone blockers and about to start HRT under the supervision of a doctor.

At no time is she going to come over to my apartment so that i can inject her with unprescribed hormones, nor am i going to shower her in "titty skittles"

Actually, kids as young as 18 months have shown awareness of their gender.

The admins know, because i reported the harassment the first time the trolls tried to take the convo out of context. The website that they put this snippet of convo is well know be virulently transphobic

Actually the admins have known about this since the first time the transphobic trolls took our convo out of context. The site that they posted that snippet on is well know to be virulently transphobic.

Zucker's position runs contrary to the majority of endocrinologists, as well as the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, the organization that is responsible for the Standards of Care for the transgender population. Zucker was fired from his post as chief psychologist at the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services because of his view.

Well, if they hadnt taken the convo out of context, you'd have seen that both of us were joking around. I've known that other user for awhile since she first subbed, she's on hormone blockers for the next few years.

As for the administration of hormones, that's up to the doctor to decide on the particular regimen that's tailored specifically for that person, because each of our endocrine systems is unique, and everyone responds differently

Well, if they hadnt taken the convo out of context, you'd have seen that the entire thread was a bunch of trans people joking around. The other person in the thread was on hormone blockers, and will be, up until their doctor prescribes them estrogen.

Well, that's not true, everyone's endocrine system is different, so it's really up to the doctor as to when to administer cross sex hormones. There have been cases where kids as young as 12 have been prescribed hormones, and kids who have pushed it til they're 18 before they've made their decision.

And "sex change" for Caitlyn is a misnomer. There's really no "waiting" period to see if your body takes to the hormones. You still have to be monitored, because everyone's body reacts differently, so many trans people have different hormone replacement regimens.

actually, the reverse is true

Pausing Puberty with Hormone Blockers May Help Transgender Kids

Socially transitioned transgender children who are supported in their gender identity have developmentally normative levels of depression and only minimal elevations in anxiety, suggesting that psychopathology is not inevitable within this group. Especially striking is the comparison with reports of children with GID; socially transitioned transgender children have notably lower rates of internalizing psychopathology than previously reported among children with GID living as their natal sex.

Although we do not currently have enough data to say for sure

Some of the health effects Of transitioning in teen years remain unknown

When Transgender Kids Transition, Medical Risks are Both Known and Unknown

That factoid was pulled from a study with Ken Zucker as the main author. Zucker has been an adamant proponent of the myth that 80 percent of kids with cross-gender identification will eventually turn out to just be gay, not transgender. The study that produced this conclusion, however, relied on conflating all gender non-conforming behavior with actually asserting a different gender identity.

What research has since shown is that the children who assert that they are the other gender actually are and are not likely to change. By over-including all gender non-conforming children, those numbers actually communicate nothing about the outcomes of trans kids, but that hasn’t stopped Zucker from using the study to motivate families into thinking such behavior is just a phase and can be corrected.

Welp, since i got paged to this thread, i might as well clear up a few misconceptions. The proper protocol for gender variant children up to the age of 18 is to put them on observation for persistent, consistent, and insistent signs of gender dysphoria. To this endo, the suggested course of treatment for them is the administration of hormone blockcers to delay puberty. It is then up to the discretion of the endocrinologist whether or not to start cross hormone treatments, or to stop the blockers and let puberty proceed according to the gender they were assign at birth.

Here are a few studies done that address that.

Yes, some of them grow out of it, and for those that do, they can detransition, and/or stop the treatment of hormone blockers and puberty of the gender they were assigned at birth is allowed to proceed.

A clinical protocol of a multidisciplinary team with mental health professionals, physicians, and surgeons, including puberty suppression, followed by cross-sex hormones and gender reassignment surgery, provides gender dysphoric youth who seek gender reassignment from early puberty on, the opportunity to develop into well-functioning young adults.

However, some of the health effects Of transitioning in teen years remain unknown

Furthermore, a study with 32 transgender children, ages 5 to 12, indicates that the gender identity of these children is deeply held and is not the result of confusion about gender identity or pretense. The study is one of the first to explore gender identity in transgender children using implicit measures that operate outside conscious awareness and are, therefore, less susceptible to modification than self-report measures.

We will soon have more data as the largest ever study of transgender teenagers is set to kick off.

Are you kidding? They think we've got orgies going 24/7 and we're just waiting til they're not looking to corrupt all those young innocent Christians to give up God for a heathenistic lifestyle filled with endless days of fucking.

Right now i'm just asking around to see who i have to talk to over at PP, and if any of the other trans orgs are already looking into it. I'm going to shoot off an email to Mara Keisling to see if she's got the NCTE working on anything similar. She's the one that has the most weight. I'm also reaching out to GLAAD and, urgh, even tho i hate to do it, i'm going to give Chad Griffin a chance to make things right with us trans people and get the HRC behind us.

Rule number one around these parts is always to see a gender therapist, because only you can say for sure. And to that end, i'd like to provide some reading material for you and all those questioning.

From my experience, nothing i have ever said has ever changed a bigot's mind. The ones that have seen the light have done so because of an incident in their lives that made then stop to think and to see their own actions in a different light.

Heya, since we're usually on the same threads, just wanna say, thanks for the backup, and i hope i've done the same for you. You know there are a few of us who do the same thing in our spare time. I know it gets frustrating, especially when you see the say the same tired old arguments over and over again, sometimes from the same trolls.

The way i look at it, we respond, not to change the minds of the bigots themselves. That's never going to happen. I do it for the other people reading it, because THEIR minds, i might be able to get to.

Besides, i have such a large trove of caopypasta, it'd be a shame not to use it against the bigots.

;-)

Dont feel down, what you're doing matters.

<<< HUG >>>

I'll see ya at the next thread, we'll take on the bigots together!
