I still wonder about possible treatments that I’m not sure have been tried, or tried for very long. I give as an example one of my sons. He was very small for his age. In 8th grade (age 14), he was 4’ 9”. He was more than 2-1/2 standard deviations off the growth curve charts. At our pediatrician’s urging, we took him to a pediatric endocrinologist. He ran some tests on my son, and we discovered that, while our son was producing a normal amount of growth hormone, something in his body was preventing him from absorbing and utilizing it. Not only that, but he was barely producing testosterone. So it was recommended that we try injecting growth hormone daily. It helped! Within a few months, he started growing by 1/4” or so! He was under the treatment of the endocrinologist for 4 years, and when he graduated from high school, he had grown to 5’ 9”, the size of an average teenager his age, and with his growth plates closed.
The point I’m trying to make is that I don’t understand why we are treating gender dysphoria with hormones from the opposite sex. Is it not possible that, like my son, the existing hormones are not being absorbed or utilized? Perhaps they are underproduced. I would like to know if this treatment has been overlooked because there is an agenda to thrust chaos in our way.
We were very close to doing the same for our special needs son, he was so small. I told him I was not going to do these gh shots for Little Yaelle Son now, but for Mr. yaelle’s Son, the adult man he would be, who would probably wish his parents had so chosen when he was young enough. We were afraid he wouldn’t be much over 5 feet. He started eating more and growing more, and he’s on track to reach probably normal height now.
My mid level knowledge of hormones leads me to believe this may be more than hormonal. I have had my sex hormones adjusted a lot. Never did I want to be male or want to change my orientation. I think there may be some structural thing in the brain that went wrong, but I agree that more experimentation needs to be done. Some fo these people are so unhappy and desperate, surely some would be willing to be in such studies to try and help them.
I’d also like to see serious international uterine fluids studies done, contrasting western and even eastern women from civilized nations with women & girls in remote, clean, simple islands etc.
“Medicine” is fixated on a poor solution, transition.
You presented a totally new perspective. Why this isn’t presented publicly by Health Professionals is probably more proof of oppression of the normal.
