Yes. Trans men would be prescribed testosterone (and probably other drugs), and trans women would be prescribed estrogen (and probably other drugs).Get prescribed hormones? Like test for a girl that wants to be a guy?
If so how is that legal?
What if I wanna identify as a massive bodybuilder? What’s the difference?
Sounds like someone enjoys free drinks and being complimented on their rock hard glutes.As someone who frequents the gay bars (not gay, just better atmosphere), I’ve actually asked several trans about their access to testosterone and referred them to this site. apparently it is harder than just going into your doctor and telling them you want to transition.
Nah man. Honestly no hate at all. I believe people should do whatever makes them happy. The I wanna identify as a bodybuilder was more of a joke. Guess it didn’t go over as I planned.Hopeisfading" pid='43309' dateline='1551394128:

It is legal because it is a doctors prescription. Testosterone is also not illegal to prescribe; most AAS are/were legal for medical purposes originally. For example, I know anavar was, and might still be, prescribed to chemo patients to prevent muscle wasting.
The difference is the supraphsiological levels of Testosterone. Basically, if you are a man and willing to pay (not insurance), you can get a legal prescription for Testosterone. The difference is the dose amount; the high amounts that I have ever heard or prescribed to a man for TRT is 250mg/week, and normally it is more like 100-200mg/week. Massive/pro bodybuilders are normally running 4+ times this amount.
It’s the same with other AAS. Anavar might be prescribed to a chemo patient at 10mg/day, but a bodybuilder would get minimal effects from this. They would want to run more like 100mg/day of Var to see results, and var is normally considered mild, so they would probably want something stronger.
I am guessing this post is just some trans hate post; “I want to identify as a heroin dealer, so why can’t I legally do that???”
I wish my friends were as smart as you and I. The gay pride festival is my personal super bowl. It’s seriously 10 straight girls for every 1 straight guy. A few years ago I was chatting with some random people there and I said I was straight. This girl gets excited and runs off to find her friend. She introduces me as “this guy is straight” and then we proceeded to fuck in a porta potty. Didn’t exchange numbers, never knew each other’s names. She was honestly only a 7/10, but it is still fun to think about.As someone who frequents the gay bars (not gay, just better atmosphere)
Hah, I probably just spend a bit too much time in places that have been becoming more and more right-leaning, that I am cynical about legitimate questions about transgender people.DNPstoney" pid='43321' dateline='1551398215:

I was genuinely curious if they get prescribed testosterone. Or if they had to get it on their own like we do.
Really no hate what so ever.

We have a clinic in Denver that A lot of the Armbrust (gym Phil Heath trains at) bodybuilders go too. They do both TRT/hormone therapy and plastic surgery.In the late 80s after the Ben Johnson incident, Congress went nuts and cracked down on steroids, and docs can’t prescribe them off label like other drugs. If docs could do that, you’d likely see clinics, similar to plastic surgery clinics, where men could get steroids prescribed for things like bodybuilding, though the doses likely would be fairly low and of milder compounds. As far as transgenders using test, my understanding is Planned Parenthood will prescribe it with few hoops to go through. I doubt regular docs will-they probably refer them to specialists who require all sorts of psychological testing. What is interesting is if you read research on testosterone use in transgenders, the side effects are accurately presented, whereas the medical community generally sensationalizes and exaggerates the frequency and incidence of side effects in biological males.
I’ve heard of similar places in south Florida though I don’t know anything firsthand. I’ve heard of docs prescribing healthy doses of test plus deca and anavar, and the docs rotating through the clinics so that no one doc’s prescribing practices get undue attention. The culture there is so vain–there are all these diet clinics where normal-sized women go in and come out with 4-5 prescriptions for various weight loss drugs.Tony Parks" pid='43479' dateline='1551482692:

Shady practice. A lot of young guys use em… These places exist, there’s always someone/a group of people who are willing to play with the law a little bit…
yeah I think a lot of it depends on local/regional culture, but generally speaking it’s actually probably a lot more difficult to do HRT as a trans person than it is as a man just tryna get his test a bit higher w/TRTAs someone who frequents the gay bars (not gay, just better atmosphere), I’ve actually asked several trans about their access to testosterone and referred them to this site. apparently it is harder than just going into your doctor and telling them you want to transition.
nah, it doesn’t work like that at all.Female wants to become a male, sure!
Male wants to become more of a male, nope!

Check your toxic masculinity! Your male privilege doesn’t allow you to be even more toxic. /sFemale wants to become a male, sure!
Male wants to become more of a male, nope!
Care to elaborate?nah, it doesn’t work like that at all.
normal levels of test (TRT) don’t cause an adult male to develop more masculine featuresresistor" pid='43574' dateline='1551549016:

Last I checked a dude cannot get a HRT script because he wants to develop more masculine features.
Yet, a woman can get a HRT script because she wants to develop masculine features.
Of course there is a process involved with the woman getting a HRT script, but there isn’t even a possibility for a normal man with levels in range who simply wants to become more manly.
Is this untrue?
Those crooked anti-aging clinics some states allow do not count for either side ofc
