Wow. That’s fucked up but I’m not surprised.

It has two reasons.

First is - they are females and Pharma always makes tests mainly on males (so women sometimes have health issues from common pills).

Second one - until 5-7 years ago, only 0.5-1%of all transes were transmen, while right now almost half of all transes are transmen, while more than 80% of all surgeries and 60-65% hormonal therapies are done on transmen of all transes.

So even if doctors wanted to study transmen (and seems they don't) - there just not enough data, and not enough statistics and test results to give any conclusions. Yet they are prescribed with maximal forms of treatment, based on 30+ years of study on male transsexuals.
