I've got massive concerns about the hysterectomies/oophorectomies being offered to trans men. It's not just about fertility, although that's important. But we KNOW what happens to female bodies after these surgeries, particularly if both ovaries are removed, because we've been doing it for years for women with endometriosis. It ruins your health. And in this case, we're talking about putting healthy pre-menopausal females into surgical menopause. I don't understand how surgery which massively increases risk of heart disease, osteoporosis and dementia as well as depression can be justified in the absence of severe ill health. It is castration. It is irreversible. There's clear evidence to show that women who have oophorectomies die younger than women who don't. And that's before you get to the weight gain, hair loss, continence issues, dry eyes, cracked teeth, vaginal atrophy, scar pain, pain in the vaginal vault, memory loss, sweats, headaches, insomnia - I could go on but you get the idea. It used to be routine to remove ovaries with a hysterectomy to reduce the risk of ovarian cancer, until it became clear that the risks of castration are far higher than the cancer risk, especially if you are young and will be without normal levels of oestrogen for a long time.
It worries me how many people are pretending this surgery is something different in this group. It's not. (Also can confirm that you remain 100% female after hysterectomy/oophorectomy).
