Hi Phoenix. I was amazed to find this post today. I landed on this site while trying to research issues my partner has had since childhood. MANY symptoms of either PCOS or non-classical adrenal hyperplasia. Including...obesity, abnormal hair grow some places but thinning of hair on head, depression, anxiety, high testosterone, and an ablation four years ago for fibroids/excessive bleeding, insomnia, and some sort of seizure one time. The high testosterone wasn't known until last year when she decided to undergo treatment for gender identity disorder. Now she has transitioned to "HE" by taking testosterone injections. Now that the levels are normal male the anxiety and depression have decreased. He is more comfortable living as male than as a masculine lesbian. He also had a mastectomy 4 weeks ago. We see the gyno this week to see about a hysterectomy due to cramping and some spotting ( I am worried about cancer). Now I am wondering if all this was a result of a medical problem with hormones rather than a gender ID issue. I am so angry that no doctor really tried to see this whole picture a long time ago. He did drop from 280 to 240 pounds after starting testosterone but is still overweight. Now I am wondering if he needs treatment for PCOS to control the insulin issues. I am very confused and hope the doctor is willing to listen and figure something out. Long story short, if you want live as a guy there is always that option too. Whatever makes you happy |
