In the practice of transgender care, there is a honeymoon phase where everything looks peachy-keen-and-sweet... You feel good, you believe it's working, you even believe in what it does for you... This is called a "placebo effect."

You even get elated and sexually aroused... The "Euphoria Boner" effect until you eventually cannot be erect anymore, produce sperm, or have intercourse with someone else intimately.

You'll get beautiful plump breasts, usually a B-cup... They'll be tender, nipples erect until you need a mammogram where your breast tissue is smashed between two plates to see if you have breast cancer, lumpomas, cysts, or some other medical issue.

But do doctors or medical staff tell you this? Maybe a small few. I know that I wasn't ever told. Then there are these risks also:

Negative side effects associated with feminizing HRT using Estradiol, anti-androgens such as Spironolactone or Cyproterone Acetate, and progestogens such as Progesterone:

Venous thromboembolism — blood clot forming in a vein that can travel to the lungs.

Increased stroke risk — higher chance of a clot or bleed interrupting blood flow to the brain.

Increased cardiovascular disease risk — elevated likelihood of heart-related illness such as heart attack.

Hypertriglyceridemia — abnormally high triglyceride (fat) levels in the blood.

Hypertension — chronically elevated blood pressure.

Weight gain — increase in overall body weight.

Fluid retention / edema — excess fluid accumulating in tissues causing swelling.

Elevated liver enzymes — lab markers indicating liver irritation or stress.

Hepatic dysfunction — impaired liver function.

Gallbladder disease — gallstones or inflammation of the gallbladder.

Insulin resistance — reduced ability of cells to respond to insulin, raising blood sugar risk.

Electrolyte imbalance — abnormal levels of salts like potassium or sodium in the blood.

Hyperkalemia — dangerously high potassium levels (often linked to spironolactone).

Dehydration — excessive loss of body fluids.

Hypotension — abnormally low blood pressure.

Frequent urination — increased need to urinate due to diuretic effects.

Hyperprolactinemia — elevated prolactin hormone levels in the blood.

Prolactinoma (rare) — benign tumor of the pituitary gland producing prolactin.

Possible increased breast cancer risk — elevated likelihood of malignant breast tissue growth.

Breast pain or tenderness — soreness or sensitivity in breast tissue.

Breast cysts / benign breast disease — non-cancerous lumps or fluid-filled sacs in the breast.

Emotional lability — rapid or exaggerated mood changes.

Depression — persistent low mood and reduced interest or pleasure.

Anxiety changes — worsening or fluctuation in anxiety symptoms.

Irritability — increased tendency toward agitation or frustration.

Fatigue — persistent tiredness or low energy.

Sedation / drowsiness — increased sleepiness (often associated with progesterone).

Cognitive slowing / “brain fog” — reduced mental clarity, focus, or processing speed.

Migraines or worsening headaches — severe recurrent headaches or increased headache frequency.

Sleep disturbances — insomnia or altered sleep patterns.

Infertility / permanent sterility — inability to produce viable sperm.

Testicular atrophy — shrinking of the testicles due to suppressed function.

Erectile dysfunction — inability to achieve or maintain an erection.

Loss of libido — reduced sexual desire.

Reduced ejaculate volume — decreased amount of semen during ejaculation.

Decreased sperm production (azoospermia possible) — reduced or absent sperm in semen.

Sexual dysfunction (e.g., anorgasmia) — difficulty achieving orgasm or reduced sexual sensation.

Decreased muscle mass and strength — loss of muscle size and physical power.

Increased body fat percentage — greater proportion of body fat relative to lean mass.

Reduced physical endurance — decreased stamina during physical activity.

Reduced bone density — thinning of bones increasing fracture risk if hormones are imbalanced.

Increased appetite — stronger hunger signals (reported with progesterone).

Night sweats — excessive sweating during sleep.

Dizziness / orthostatic symptoms — lightheadedness when standing due to blood pressure changes.

Meningioma risk (with certain progestins) — increased chance of a usually benign tumor of the brain’s protective membranes.

@elonmusk has a furry infestation that is hurting the bottom line of Twitter if he doesn't address the NAFO problem. The fact they are acting as a moderating force to quell and silence what they believe is the opposition is a blight on Free Speech Absolutism.

@TwitterSupport With a force of more than 100k worldwide, they have amassed enough power to become a cyber-terrorist organization like Antifa with absolutely no central control.

This group only believes in their Free Speech and actively works in-force to silence those who speak out against /2
