André Bellorín has fought a long battle for the body that matches his identity.
He has been through two operations, a bitter conflict with his mother and an expensive course of hormone treatment in his hometown, Caracas, Venezuela.
But now he fears he may lose all the progress he has made.
"My beard has stopped growing on some parts of my face and my hips are broadening again," he says.
André's body is changing because he is failing to take the hormones he needs. Once the treatment has begun, it needs to continue for life to prevent reversion.
However, these hormones have become impossible to find in Venezuela, where a political crisis has long caused shortages of medicines and other essential goods.

While the majority of South American countries allow people to change their gender on legal documents, Venezuela is not among them. (The government did not respond to the BBC's interview requests). Same-sex marriage is also not permitted, and neither are civil partnerships.
Too bad. She’s still a female, a mentally ill female at that.
These people would do so much better for themselves if they sought real mental help. Too bad the professionals just enable mental illness these days.
Of all the problems Venezuela has, they are highlighting problems of the transexual community and hormone treatments?
This individual should be happy to be alive and well, considering so many in Venezuela are going hungry and have no money, no electricity, and no clean water.
Well, it is the BBC after all.
Maybe this is why Barack and other Democrats love Venezuela.....
I hear that she has a lifetime supply of whoremoans...
Oh no! The 0.4% in Venezuela have it as bad as the other 99.6%!!!
She does not “need” those hormones.
I wonder how many studies have been done on the long-term effects of loading up one’s body with hormones of the opposite gender. Since, in general, loading up on steroids has some very severe deleterious effects, I don’t think there is anything good that can come from loading the body with opposite gender hormones. I also think that loading up her body with male hormones masks the psychological issues that cause her to want to reject the person that she was born to be.
And the world was hysterical about steroid abuse...
The Left/Democrats parade the “you be you” mantra while simultaneously advancing the value disfiguration.
I hear there is also a shortage of after dinner mints in Venezuela.
these people are psycho nutbags
the only real discussion to have about them is which can be saved and rehabilitated back into reasonably normal human beings, and which need mercy killings
Why?
Didnt they “transition” into women?
Shouldn’t their bodies just be making those hormones on its own since “science” says they are now females?
sh!ts getting real now!
Finally, leftists have found a Venezuelan worthy of their concern.
These people (transgenders) are completely worthless. They have no value to society. You couldn’t even make Soylent Green out of them...they would be inedible.
Encouraging and enabling delusions never has a happy ending.
“André Bellorín has fought a long battle for the body that matches his identity.”
I would think it would be a lot simpler and less expensive to change its identity than changing its body.
