I’m sooo tired of tucutes claiming that diagnosing being transgender is transphobic or other shit like that. I’m a trans guy and a medical student. I medically transitioned at 14 and at this point being trans has no impact on my life. I’m always passing, I look like other men my age. I’ve always wanted to be able to let other trans people live a normal life. Let trans boys grow into men they want to be. I had that opportunity and that’s why understand how it important it is. But tbh the situation that’s going on right now really discourages me from choosing a specialty that covers gender transition. If i’d ever work in the informed consent model i’d feel like a failure. I don’t want to give people hormones because they are adults and they claim that they want that. I want to diagnose and help with the treatment of transgender people all ages. HRT is not a decision for an adult to modify their own body. It’s a medical treatment for a condition that can be diagnosed in people regardless of age, background, experience. I want to give boys and girls a chance to have a normal childhood, normal adolescence and a chance to develop their healthy identity as men and women. I don’t want to encourage men to get pregnant, do nipple less surgery or other crazy shit. It seems so frustrating and I genuinely hate it.
