Of course some would wonder if the kidney failure and high rates of cancer could have any relation to hormone "therapy" and medicalization.

The author was dead a year after writing this.

No one seems to care about the consequences of putting healthy teenagers and young adults on testosterone and what it will mean to run a female body on male hormones for 6 or 7 decades. Will they even live that long? Doesn't seem like anybody in the medical establishment gives a damn.

I know of one who died a few months ago, friend of a friend. Massive cancer and organ failure. Early 50s. Too young in my opinion.

Of course it's way too young. I'm not surprised. And here doctors are putting 12 year olds on testosterone for life and telling them it's perfectly safe.

Buck Angel has been very honest about the dangers of medical transition. Maybe he would be interested in tweeting about this issue.
