Good on him for speaking out. This lasts about 1 hour 20 minutes. US endocrinologist interviewed by a man I don't know anything about. Mostly it's the endocrinologist talking. Very detailed. I need to listen to this again but here are a few striking points.
Natal females given testosterone have significantly higher risk than men of having cardiovascular disease - could be twice as high. Ordinarily, of course, natal females should have a much lower risk than males, until the menopause.
Natal males taking oestrogen have a massive increased risk of having a stroke over other natal males.
HRT stopped being prescribed to menopausal women as soon as a much smaller risk of cancer was identified.
Gynaecologists won't agree to a woman under 25 having her tubes tied because they are concerned that few people are intellectually/emotionally mature enough under that age to opt for permanent sterility. But young teens are being approved for hysterectomies and mastectomies, even when they are on the autistic spectrum when it's a gender issue.
Very detailed discussion early on about how the affirmation model was developed in the Netherlands and has been changed to something else in the US that was never intended by the Dutch practitioners. Huge increase in gender clinics in the US. Eight only across the entire country ?ten years ago, now over 50, not regulated.
There's a lot more here. This should be compulsory viewing for all legislators.
