i never heard of the book "feminine forever" but wow, how misogynist was that -

but then i've never had the urge to go on HRT either
thank god, goddess and goodness.

so many "cures" for things end up being worse than the illness
and when the condition isn't even an illness, i'd rather not give myself cancer
just so i can be "feminine forever"... which women are anyway, just being women.

Have you read anything about the Suzanne summers book? apparently she is a big advocate for hrt.

I never too HRT and I don't see any masculine traits in myself :-)

Ew. :/

I once knew a woman who was maybe 66, still getting not-very-dependable dribbly periods on HRT, and was so sick of menstruating.

He defined a natural human condition as a disease...

I find that so disturbing, so much of that goes on still and everyone buys in to it. It makes me furious what drug companies have gotten away with, still get away with.

thanks so much!
