New Research Finds 75% of Trans Women Can't Suppress Testosterone, Even With Hormone Therapy
MRC TV ^ | March 1, 2018 | Brittany M. Hughes

A full three out of four transwomen who undergo hormone therapy to “transition” into being female never reach normal female hormone levels, according to a new scientific study.

I know. It's almost like it was designed to be that way or something.

Here’s how it works, in a nutshell. Average adult males have testosterone levels ranging anywhere between 270-1,070 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dL). Women’s testosterone levels, on the other hand, average about 15-70 ng/dL – obviously, a much lower level.

When a biological male decides he feels like a woman and chooses to medically force his physical body into accepting this delusion, he starts hormone therapy. To achieve this, he goes on a regimen of spironolactone and estradiol, drugs meant to lower his naturally high testosterone levels to the much lower female level.

But according to a new medical study of nearly 100 transgender “women,” only about one in four were able to reach a testosterone level low enough to match the average natural-born female’s."

The study found that even after undergoing hormone therapy for three and a half years, “Only one quarter of transgender women who received spironolactone for testosterone suppression achieved testosterone levels considered within the usual female range, according to results of a new single-center, cross-sectional study.”

The highest suppression quartile achieved a mean testosterone level of 27 ng/dL. The second highest quartile did not achieve testosterone levels in the female range, but remained below the male range almost all the time. The least suppressed quartile was unable to achieve any significant testosterone suppression.

Participants with normal BMI showed the steepest decline in testosterone over the 9 months (average time to reach steady state) but did not reach the female range overall. 

Why?

Maybe because they aren’t women.

But of course, we aren’t allowed to ask whether playing God with people’s hormones like an overworked soccer mom trying to make a casserole out of whatever she’s got lying about in her pantry might have something to do with the fact that 45 percent of transgender patients who undergo hormone therapy attempt suicide.

So the best a tranny can hope for is to become a Soy Boy.

Tough toenails.

Yeah. It's almost as if it's in every cell of our bodies, isn't it?

BtD's Helpful Syntax Guide: if you're ever wondering what a "trans ____" is, substitute the word "Fake" for "Trans" and it all comes clear.

Just because we had a tranny FLOTUS, we never hear the end of this small percentage of freaks.

They cannot fool mother nature! But they can, and do, fool liberals.

So in addition to becoming more feminine you also have to pee all day and risk hyperkalemia?

...and liberal males level average around 0.0 ng/dl

Why does the media think that they have to share the delusions of the mentally ill? If a male wants to pretend that it is a female report it as such.

This is a mental illness. Put them on a list and take their guns and free speech. Your sex is established by God in the Chromosome- X and XY. That never changes no matter how Satan infects your brain. The best medical treatment is electrical shock with the proper joules. These people are a menace to themselves and to others. They must be stopped from degrading our military in these perilous times.

I would also doubt most women taking testosterone to “be a man” also do not attain normal levels of hormones either. Again, they are not designed to ve men.

When you clear away all the post-modern BS and asinine jargon, the end result is: “men can’t stop being men.”

Wait isn’t all or most of testosterone made in our testicles?? If that’s true why not just castrate themselves if that’s the desire?

And this is the hell our lying MSM & Liberal wingnuts, not to mention their loving parents, are fighting tooth & nail to deliver young children to. And we are supposed to pretend that this is their God given right and the best outcome.

I have read more than one first person account of the horrendous complications and searing regret of men who bought the idea that they could be surgically altered and were instead mutilated and delivered into a lifetime of pain and isolation.

Figgered that out, did they?

Those Y chromosomes may be a small percentage of DNA, but they are kinda tough to eliminate.
