Oh the hilarity. I just read the post on s/therearetwogenders about the ftm who didn't realize testosterone would cause clitorol growth. Do transgenders really have NO idea about the consequences of taking cross sex hormones? Hormones cause a wide variety of changes not just cosmetic ones.

I'm not sure if it's because the doctors are afraid to tell them, or the cult blatantly lies about the side-effects. Maybe a combination of both. But yes, from what I've seen they have a dangerous lack of knowledge of how hormones work.

That kind of pulls the rug out from under any "informed consent" going on in any of this.
