A dirty little secret withheld from people who seek help for gender distress is that cross-sex hormones are anabolic steroids and addictive in the same way that daily consumption of alcohol can lead to addiction.
Gender clinics, now including Planned Parenthood, routinely prescribe cross-sex hormones on the first or second visit, and they neglect to disclose that steroids are addictive and distort one’s ability to make decisions. Steroid use makes people easy marks for the next step: surgery, such as mastectomy and genital reconfiguration, both of which mutilate healthy tissue.
I am a biological man who submitted myself to cross-sex hormones and surgery and lived as a woman for eight years. Looking back now, about 30 years later, I can testify to the physical addictiveness of hormones and the psychological addictiveness of appearing as the opposite sex. Addictions at their heart are destructive.

All hormone medications are VERY POWERFUL - this includes oral contraceptives. If you want to take these medications, that's great, but read up on them. They have a lot of side effects and a lot of doctors totally pimp them without telling you much about what they really are.
Also I note that Planned Parenthood is getting into the "I want to change my sex!" act. Great. This should work out well for everyone, right?
And it turns them into cross dressers 🤪
