Those numbers of men taking female hormones are much higher than I would ever have guessed and that’s just one country. It’s quite shocking and I can see why it might well contribute to a shortage of hormone medication for women.

Predictable, given the self-obsessed and antisocial nature of the identity movement. Plus it hurts and harms women, which is a bonus for misogynists.

Yes I have been googling about how much estriol is absorbed using transdermal hrt and there were also graphs for men who are transgender. I knew they took more but was surprised at 8mcg. It is very hard to get over 1 mcg as a woman. Sometimes they let you have 2 mcg for a while, but over that you need to see a specialist kind of specialist to oversee.

If you click on that article there is a link to another which suggests women should combat menopausal symptoms through self-compassion and mindfulness. May I suggest unhappy men who want to feel female could do the same?

Bloody hell, Allezallez, women's needs really do come last in terms of priority for the medical profession.

It is a war.

We’ll see it in little ways until we strike.

While the exact number of trans people is unknown, approximately 0.5 per cent to three per cent of the population are trans – and roughly half of these will want feminising hormone therapy.

So, if we do the maths, working on the basis that Australia has a population of around 27 million, that’s roughly 67,500 – 405,000 people.

And our research shows 14 per cent of those using feminising hormone therapy use an oestradiol patch – which is roughly 9,450 to 56,700 people.

These numbers are based on some wild assumptions. Does Australia not have prescription data that can be analysed to get some actual figures?

That's a trans right, the right to access whatever is needed without being included in stats. Don't be a bigot, wanting data and stuff.

good point. If they want the truly female medical experience they can be told
no like the rest of us and that it’s all in their head/their hormones/normal etc.

This movement is anti women in more ways than I thought possible.

Hopefully these men cannot continue with this long term, it must be storing up serious damage long term?

What happens to these men if they stop taking cross sex hormones? I've only seen a video of a woman who was on testosterone who stopped for a year, and she didn't appear to revert to her original feminine appearance 🤔

I’m absolutely staggered by the numbers given in that link. What with this and the Guardian story the other day telling off women for having the audacity to ask for a tiny amount of progesterone while it’s positively ladled out to anyone taking it for trans purposes, WT actual F is going on?
