Puberty blockers and hormone therapy are all the rage among the woke-a-saurs despite the increased risk of death from the drugs, mental health issues, or the exponential increase in likely suicide. Now the American College of Cardiology has more bad news.
In the study, people with gender dysphoria who had ever used hormone replacements saw nearly seven times the risk of ischemic stroke (a blockage in a vessel supplying blood to the brain), nearly six times the risk of ST elevation myocardial infarction (the most serious type of heart attack) and nearly five times the risk of pulmonary embolism (a blockage in an artery in the lung), compared with people with gender dysphoria who had never used hormone replacements.
The trend in “medicine” continues to lean toward the mindless pursuit of profit at the expense of human lives or quality of life, but this instance is insidious.

And I’m not saying adults should be denied any of this if they’ve been fully informed of the risks and provided consent. Human beings do reckless and stupid things daily, not the least of which involves the consumption of alcohol. If they are still moved by their own will to proceed with the transition, even with the risk of stroke or heart attack, don’t make me pay for it, and we’re good. Children treated in this way are victims of adult fantasies. Toys as test subjects for a medical laundromat that moves millions and whose product they cannot just reverse when they are of age.

The Most Revolutionary Act 
Irony: Many doctors won’t talk about the benefits of bio identical hormones for people with “gender identity” issues. They also will hide what transitionary hormones do.
My suggestion: Make people try bio identical hormones, right after they get proper blood panels done.
The ethical and humane thing to do isn’t letting people suffer.

Interesting perspective, Matt. Before the advent of Viagra, I saw a number of male patients who were prescribed testosterone for depression and erectile dysfunction. It’s associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer and breast enlargement so I think a lot of doctors became reluctant to prescribe it. Personally I don’t agree with doctors prescribing any drugs that haven’t been safety tested. All patients have a right to know the long term side effects of any drugs they’re prescribed.
