Gender affirming care actually can include gender-affirming procedures for cisgender people such as reconstructive or cosmetic surgeries. Under that frame I don't see how "I need higher T to feel like a real man" is much different.
- LanceH 3y agoSure, if you want to deliberately conflate different issues.
- pessimizer 3y agoOnly if you think that comparing a trans man who wants to take testosterone to feel more like a man to a biological male who wants to take testosterone to feel more like a man is silly or deceptive.
- tryhtgyt 3y agoIf a woman wants to take testosterone to deepen her voice and change her hair pattern, that's up to her, but she'll never be a man. Let's be realistic here.

- Capricorn2481 3y agoThey're really not different issues, though. Most men using TRT would cite, in some fashion, wanting to feel more manly. That is gender affirmation. Testosterone is beneficial for everyone. If a man or woman wants to do TRT, it is not illegal to do so. But if they cite some kind of gender dysphoria, it is suddenly extremely taboo. It's a bit humorous living in a society where roided out podcasters complain about people not accepting their natural identities or hormones
