Good, i started a discussion.
There are a couple of generic points that should be gleamed from my rant.
A) doctors are not god like beings that know all and we mortals must followed without question.
Tanya and Lotus probably know as much or more about the pharmicology, effects and side effects of BOTH estogens derived from pharmaceuticals or botanical than most if not all of the endocrinologists out there. I qualify that by including botanicals in the mix because western medicine dismisses the use of botanicals out of hand as ineffective or useless. As we have seen from this board, that is not the case.
B) You are misguided if you think you do not think NBE estrogens require medical supervision while touting the need for a shrink to say your mental state requires pharmaceuticals prescribed by another person. How many of you out there are messing with your endocrine system by taking fist fulls of herbs without talking to a psychologist much less telling your primary care physician what and how much of it you are taking. Are you NBEers doing blood work monthly? Quarterly? Ho, you are not.
Pounding down botanicals to grow breasts is messing with your endocrine system. A male's natural endocrine system has to be altered to achieve female breast growth. Not debatable. Don't be pissy with me about self medicating with pharmaceuticals if you are on the NBE train going somewhere without a psychologist's letter and a recipe from your doctor telling you which herbs you need to bake into your boobie cake.
Ericka talks a lot about gender dysphoria. My post has nothing to do with that. It is all about who should be responsible for addressing issues associate with your body and giving WAY TOO MUCH credit for a group of people, ie medical doctors, who do not know as much as you think they do, or care. If you do not believe me, get your medical record and read the doctors notes from each visit. As a whole they are very interesting reading. You will find numerous misstatements, and things that were never discussed in them. Don't believe me, get them and read.
Back to the gender dysphoria thing. The understanding of gender dysphoria is an evolving issue. We know what it is long before someone put a name on it much less admitted it existed. Many of us have done what it takes to make ourselves feel right, while, even keeled, however you want to term it, whether it has been done through cross dressing, herbal remedies, support groups or complete SRS.
