Erm, yes?

Transgender men are suffering from “postmenopausal” problems like incontinence in their 20s because of taking testosterone, a study has revealed.

Experts analysed 68 transgender men who were taking the cross-sex hormone to change their identity from female to male and found that 95 per cent had developed pelvic floor dysfunction.

The participants, who were as young as 18 and had an average age of 28, had bladder and bowel symptoms that medics would expect to see in a woman after the menopause.

Experts said the impact of the sex-changing drugs on bodily functions are under-researched and under-reported, with people “not being informed of the risks at gender clinics”.

Playing with sex specific hormones is going to play merry hell with sex specific homrones. And?

  1. I made the mistake of asking my missus once about pelvic floors. I had to go and have a lie down with a wet towel on my head and a bottle of whisky.

    Look, even writing about them makes them go all funny!

  3. Part and parcel of feeling comfortable in your own skin.

    You’d think the caring doctors who facilitated this change would have told them stuff like that, though, wouldn’t you.

    @Sam I think it’s verboten to mention anything negative. That might make people think twice, and this group can’t handle it if they aren’t affirmed all the time.

  5. @Sam Vara: ‘First do no harm’ seems to have been forgotten when it comes to these drs. Having heard exactly what they do to change a person’s gender mutilate a mentally ill person into a grotesque facsimile of the opposite sex, I put them lower than Mengele.

    As for the article… Imagine getting post-menopausal symptoms when you’ve artificially, and quite forcefully, induced menopause…
    Who’da thunk it, Sherlock!!

    Ah well, at least they’ve been given nice big fat cocks and rippling muscles…. what’s that you say? Useless skin grafts and patchy facial hair?

    The Hippocratic oath hasn’t been operative for a lot of doctors for a long time. They’re general technicians now.

    Worrying statistics as 95 percent of 68 is 65.55. From this we can deduce that 2.45 of the 68 transgender women didn’t have pelvic floor issues.

    They got round that problem by labelling any advice that isn’t “affirmative” as “conversion therapy” and trying to get it made illegal.

    You get that a lot with the mentally ill, which is what trannies are.

    I confess I still find it remarkable that telling a confused and unhappy teenage boy that he is indeed a boy and needs to come to terms with this is described as “conversion therapy”, while putting him on hormone therapy and then surgically mutilating him isn’t.
