Sounds like gender affirming care.
Sorry to be snide. I don’t take TRT, but everyone should be able to do this sort of stuff without judgment. You only got one life.
I'm not trying to judge, more asking about how people feel about trying to change the natural aging process
I have concerns about its long-term effects. I remember around the turn of the millennium using hormone replacement therapy became fairly popular to help women get through menopause while minimizing many of the symptoms of menopause. Then they had to stop it because they realized it was killing a fairly significant number of those women, giving them cancer or something like that.
I personally don’t plan to take anything like that out of concern that we don’t know enough about its long-term effects. I wouldn’t try to prevent anyone else from doing so if they want to, of course; I just think it’s a questionable idea. We get old and die. Trying to fight that seems like trying to fight the ocean: ultimately a losing effort. Of course, I’ve been taking something to regrow my hair for over a decade because I was going bald in my late 20s and felt like that was too young, so I’m not exactly consistent.
100 homie. Sorry if it sounded like I implied that. Not my intent.
