Yes, I’m pretty sure she was buying it off the internet. She couldn’t have been taking it for long, because the effects of T on a female are massive and pretty irreversible - the facial and body hair, the deep voice, the structure of the face... So Jack dodged a bullet there.
There’s an increasing movement of young women who went trans for a few years - including having double mastectomies - deeply regret it and are back to living as women/lesbians. Also, the surgery to create a “penis” is so mutilating (one arm has to be stripped of some muscle) very few opt for that. It’s a very medicalised path and I don’t think it’s the path of acceptance and happiness that many hope it is.
Personally I think it’s terrible that young women, usually lesbians, are allowed to make such massive decisions when, actually, they would be better off with therapy to accept themselves and embrace gender non-conformity.
I’ll probably get flamed for this, because for some, nothing less than full support of trans issues is allowed. But I would be heartbroken beyond measure if my tomboy daughter ever grew up to feel like not being feminine meant she wasn’t truly female.
