>I did some quick searches and I'm not seeing a that much about organs specifically. Do you have some sources you can direct me to?
Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic. It causes elevated levels of potassium which is harmful to the body but does not necessarily trigger a diagnosis of hyperkalemia. HRT causes testicular atrophy. Spironolactone is used on a balance. In other words, taking more of it increases feminization, but also increases side effects.
>The only thing I could find on this was this study:
<there have been numerous efforts to evaluate and address sources of superfluous healthcare spending
<superfluous healthcare spending
Your study uses ideological language. In that study, the mean dose for the group with hyperkalemia is 178mg while the mean dose for the group without is 90. Doses below 200mg are not effective for HRT.
<We found a significant difference between the mean dose of spironolactone in the hyperkalemia vs nonhyperkalemia group
>Does it cause psychosis; do some individuals already have psychosis and/or does it just amplify it? Because I've talked a spectrum of tranners and they can range from sweet to assholes, just like normal people. That said, I think the trans condition inherently attracts people with other underlying mental health issues, but I haven't seen anything that suggests HRT in itself causes it.
The symptoms of psychosis are often mistaken for feminization. The side effects of HRT, particularly potassium levels, affect the circulatory and nervous systems. This causes transitioners to be prone to crying, bursts of anger, rage, paranoia, stress, delusions, and acting irrationally.
>Of course, because you're removing reproductive organs. In general, I've always opposed the idea of tranners getting that kind of surgery.
Not getting an orchiectomy means dependence on antiandrogens. After 5-10 years, an orchiectomy becomes necessary.
>Well, trans people also seem to be technically skilled, which is also valuable in its own way (think trans programmers and so on).
The point is that they're less capable of filling a position on the front line. They stay behind while their neighbors fight.
>I also recall a tranner that fought in Ukraine as volunteer infantry and in my time on /lgbt/, I talked with tranners that had taken martial arts and a couple that said they were successful at it.
Private Pidar stops during battle to take medications that cause craziness and muscular atrophy. Women can be successful in martial arts too, that doesn't make them appropriate for battle.
>I also think people don't understand that there are "support classes" in humanity. Across my time on the internet, I've seen evidence of tranners besting regular males in fights.
Having an advantage in a fight doesn't guarantee winning.
>I disagree. The WN tranners have shown me nothing that would make me arrive at that conclusion.
Those "WNs" are sterilizing themselves with Jewish medications. Close to half of all transgender people commit suicide making transitioning statistically less survivable than cancer and nuclear war.
>I've come across happy trans people and a lot of miserable ones, of course, but that comes with being on 4chan.
Transitioning is not necessary to be happy. Transitioners are trading their health for temporary gender euphoria. 4cuck is in the same category as Reddit and promotes awful behavior.
>Well, I acknowledge that transgenderism is a medical condition. It is a mental health condition. Some people really do seem to be born in the "wrong" body and this just comes with the territory of having a relatively complex brain like us humans do. I still don't think they should be treated as demons. If their issues can be resolved without transitioning, great - if they can't, I don't see why they shouldn't.
HRT is brutal human experimentation on par with circumcision, lobotomy, and eugenics. It's not backed by science, it's not an approved treatment, and it requires informed consent. Doctors that practice it do not guarantee a positive outcome or take accountability for any harm that might occur. Medical psychedelic therapy should be considered as an alternative. Gender dysphoria is an ego disorder which psychedelics are an ideal tool to treat. The reason people shouldn't transition is because it damages their health, strains the healthcare system, supports big pharma, lowers white birth rates, and harms families. The idea that being transgender exists is an ideological narrative. Transitioning is better than suicide but there are better ways to treat gender dysphoria. People transition in order to alleviate sexual grief.
>It's not. The "third gender" thing stems back a long time to the point that it could be called "traditional". There's always been people with this condition. Now, has the genetic selection process caused by various actions of humanity increased its rate? Yes, I do think so, but to say it is not naturalistic is inherently false.
Thinking being transgender is traditional is we wuz kangs level of understanding history. Yes, there were always those that could be considered "transgender" throughout history and probably would have transitioned if HRT was available to them. That doesn't mean it's good or accepted. Any selection process that favors it is dysgenic.
>Nature doesn't universally adhere to humanistic notions of a sexual binary.
Humans reproduce when males and females bang. That makes humans heterosexual organisms. Humans can't literally be homosexual like some organisms are because they can't reproduce. Humans can't change their sex like some organisms can. Gender transition creates a caricature and mockery of the opposite sex. It's against nature.
>I think this is the case for some of them and that's why I oppose minor-transitions. That said, I appreciate your small sentiment of tolerance towards them.
Transitioning after someone is a minor reduces effectiveness because of the permanent effects of puberty. It necessitates electrolysis or laser hair treatment. What is the age at which you think it's appropriate to allow someone to transition? People are not wise, not experienced, and still highly susceptible to manipulation at 18 or even 21.
>I'm pretty sure that I will. I don't see a reason to just up and say I don't find certain males attractive anymore.
Life altering experiences, both good and bad ones, are like personality transplants.
>It only caused me stress because I was trying to deny it. I thought that I absolutely had to be heterosexual and I was trying to force myself to be, which is what was unhealthy. I feel much better since I've accepted who I am.
That's like saying that addiction isn't a problem as long as you have the money to support it.
>I've always been extremely interested in all types of science. I've wanted to also be a genetic engineer, a brain surgeon, a nuclear engineer, roboticist, weapon designer and so on. I think all types of science is interesting. I'm just choosing what I'm choosing because it's available at my state college and I'm interested in it. I also like the idea of working from home, as I'm primarily a night person.
Those occupations are a lot different than game development. You may be extremely interested, but have you actually studied them? Reproduction is one of the main topics of biology. Studying it can change a lot how you perceive human reproduction and life in general. Chemistry, especially biochemistry, can reveal how drugs work in the body. These topics may go deeper than you realize.
Working from home isn't working at all. Are you sure you're not just looking for an activist CEO to pay you for being bi? Are you sure you're not using being bi in order to shield yourself from criticism in a liberal office? According to liberals, anyone that criticizes someone that's browner than them is "racist" and anyone that criticizes a homosexual is "homophobic". This creates an environment where gay niggers are treated like they're sacred and people are bullied for being white and straight.
In some countries, women see men as ATMs. In other countries, women are modest and prioritize family. Having a culture that prioritizes family and doesn't accept the kind of cultural rot and demoralization seen in western countries means resisting LGBT. A naive person may see it as harmless and personal but it doesn't work that way in practice. LGBT goes right along with apathy, disenfranchisement, materialism, multiculturalism, and disregard for human life.
