I came across this chart when reading responses to Abigail Shrier's recent ROGD piece in the WSJ. I was blown away by the doses being prescribed to teenage girls, in comparison to the levels experienced by women with PCOS and other conditions.

Had to break it up into two images to fit, sorry.

It's heartbreaking. I don't understand why T therapy, with its sterility and irreversible changes, has become so commonplace for young women.

It should be an absolute last resort in mature adult, psychiatrically unwell patients, who have undergone every other assessment and therapy available.

My first thought looking at those figures is that the T level would mask an endocrine tumour, should one develop.
