Why would I want an FTM's eggs that are filled with a high level of testosterone or an MTF's sperm filled with a ton of estrogen for my son/daughter? That can't be good for the baby. I swear there are going to be a lot of children with health problems in the near future because of this shit.

Most of the science on transgender stuff is very recent, and in some cases nonexistent.

MtF breastfeeding and FtM pregnancies are two of the things we have no longitudinal data on, so people are just throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks.

Ah, also puberty blocking! I nearly forgot about this little chestnut.

I think it's safe to say that it's dangerous and should be avoided. We're seriously playing God with all these hormonal replacement shit.

This idea that "we need a study to prove it's dangerous" is fucking pants-on-head backwards. We need overwhelming scientific census to claim it's safe before people should engage in this shit. It's not "we don't have evidence, so oh well flip a coin" it's "we don't have evidence, so don't do it."
