Isn't it common knowledge that drugs like this have bodily affecting side effects? On National Geographic I remember watching a transman named Buck Angel and he was talking about taking testosterone which makes his clit grow In size for a temporary amount of time. Then for men, you can actually develope breasts by taking hormones.

I've seen a lot of detrans people saying they just thought testosterone would act like an upper and sort out their depression/GD with no physical changes. Mostly they were teens when this happened though.

There's a big problem with trans healthcare being mostly dictated by middle aged men and their wants when it's mostly being enacted on teen girls with mental health issues with very different needs.
