Neither male nor female: Why some nonbinary people are 'microdosing' hormones
NBC News ^ | July 13, 2019 | Julie Compton

Marisa Rivas never felt comfortable living as a woman, but doesn’t identify as a man either.

Last year, Rivas, 30, a college admissions coordinator in Los Angeles, had a mastectomy. This year, Rivas started using gender-neutral “they” and “them” pronouns.

Then, at the end of June, Rivas went to the Los Angeles LGBT Center in West Hollywood to talk to a doctor about going on “low-dose” testosterone, known colloquially as “microdosing.” Rivas hopes to achieve a sharper jawline and a more androgynous physique without overtly masculine features like facial hair. The goal is an appearance that is not clearly male or female.

The normal men and women are going to either be in much demand or going to have really sad lives in 20 years.
The Crazy have taken over the Asylum and are not going to give it back willingly

I don't need to "microdose"...I've already got the manboobs and I've started crying during chick flicks.

Only kidding about the chick flicks.

Being uncomfortable does not determine one’s sex.

Self-mutilation is symptomatic of severe mental illness. The daughter of some friends has a male friend who cut off his wanker and now claims to be female. They’re in their mid-20’s. I won’t be around him. (No, I don’t “need to accept” his “choice”, as my friends have suggested...) He’s screaming out to be institutionalized, and by his actions has already told the world he is ready to do pretty much anything for society to step in and make that choice for him. I just don’t want to be around when he takes that final step, whatever it might be. Could easily be suicide. Almost as easily, a murder/suicide. Thank you, but no.

Here in the south in a month and a half there will be many Saturdays where women act like men and drink and cuss at the TV yelling, “Run the dang ball!!!”....all without growing facial hair or having to undergo breast reductions. :)

Many TransJennered take hormones as well as other psychotropic drugs to treat various underlying psychoses such as bipolar, depression, and anxiety. Over time, the brain might as well be pickled in contradictory chemicals. They don’t know where to sh!t or wind their watch and wind up sh!tting on their watch.

But you don’t dare use “it” as a pronoun - even though the word has the merits of being grammatically singular.
