The only change I would make to this is that the questioning shouldn't be to make sure they are transgender. Being transgender is a really poorly defined kind of spiritual identity. What they should be questioning you for is to make sure that you actually would benefit from transition. That is really all that matters to a medical treatment. It needs to make the patient better, rather than worse.

So, there used to be this phenomenon in cultures that had a history of cannibalism or cannibalism legends. Even if the society had moved on from practicing cannibalism or from taking its legends seriously, sometimes a few people would develop this irrational fear that they themselves were going to become cannibals, like it was in their nature. These people were caused distress by the idea. They didn't really want to be cannibals, but they believed that somehow they had no choice and something inside them was pushing them toward it. Sometimes they'd even claim to have odd cravings or frightening fixations.

In reality what was happening was a kind of socially reinforced psychological phobia that lead to these people being convinced they were contracting a fictional condition. They weren't really doomed to become cannibals, they just worried about it so much that it became an obsession. In reality they had grown up hearing so many stories about spirits making people cannibals and such that the fear of it made them manifest symptoms of it on themselves.

Our culture has just been hit with a big wave of people who are transitioning because they discovered that something inside them was pushing them to be the other sex. I think it is very possible that you may be experiencing a kind of obsessive fear of this affecting you just like those people worried they were destined to become cannibals. Maybe not, but you should at least ask yourself if maybe this is becoming an unhealthy obsession for you.

That is probably the worst story I have heard, and I got it after a 30 minute walk in appointment. That involved informed consent papers, though. Nevertheless, it's generally very easy. Some people do it with a phone call.

Sadly, the trans community lies about how hard it is to get hormones, because they have to perpetuate the appearance of victimhood to make their brand work. It gives us the false feeling that we somehow got lucky when what we actually just got was medical malpractice.

The Actual Detrans sub is actually a trans sub that exists for trans people to criticize and discuss detrans people. They use it as damage control to keep detrans people from connecting over our actual experiences by allowing only messages that conform to a narrow set of allowable narratives and reasons to detransition. Basically anything transphobia related ia acceptable there, but regret usually gets shut down because it implies that transition isn't always appropriate and can be harmful.

All that said, I still have to acknowledge that your post is really inflammatory. XD

Even less said about the ones who were over 25. The fact is that it's bad for the kids for the same reason it's bad for the adults. The kids are just more vulnerable, that's all. Anyone can be vulnerable, though. We shouldn't make medicine "use at your own risk" the moment you become an adult. Who thinks that's ok?

None of the effects are truely reversible because you can't just make your body forget that it started a second puberty. Many things become much less noticeable but you have to remember that this puts your body through a lot. Also remember you feel these changes. It's not just looks. You will feel like your body is different. Sensitive areas, uncomfortable new sensations, shape being strange, clothing fits different. It's a big deal and it'll be immediate and then even more over time.

Let me put it to you this way: If you gained a lot of weight, would it be reversible? Technically yes, but only in the sense that you can eventually get yourself to look thinner again, but would your body really be the same? No, your body would be a new and different version of you that might look more like the thin you that you want, but it wouldn't ever be the same body you had. You might have stretch marks, you might have a little loose skin here or there. You might feel fat deposits where they weren't before. You may have a different relationship to appetite. Your muscles may have changed density. Your face could have gotten pudgy. Basically your body keeps track of everything that you do to it. Would you expect not to scar after an injury? It heals, but never to the way it was before.

Now that that's out of the way, breast growth starts immediately. Don't believe anything you hear about it taking a while. Your nipples change permanently within a couple weeks. Your breasts become larger within two to four weeks. It isn't a slow process, and it happens in spurts, litterally overnight. You won't have time to react. Hormones take control out of your hands and they give the control to your body. All that breast development is mostly permanent. You get some regression, but again, it will never be the same. You have no control over the end result.

Fat redistribution is more slow, and it somewhat reverses. For men the problem is you have to lose weight to get it to move because we generally have lower body fat distributions. Otherwise it tends to want to stay where it ended up. Once again, the fat cells are mostly permanent even if you shrink them. Those cells will always be capable of activating again and they don't entirely erase.

Muscle tends to come back entirely because you have a lot of control over muscle growth, but expect to have to work at it. You will lose muscle very very fast.

Your hair lightens and some goes away on your body. It slows down growth speed. It may or may not return to how it was, but should at least come back mostly. Mine is shorter, thinner, and slower to grow.

Not sure if the beard ever really changes. Maybe slows in growth.

Skin returns to being rougher.

Anything that happens to your penis or testicles over time is semipermanent. Some people get testicular function back just like it was, but more time means less chance of total reversion. There are reports of very fast health issues like disrupted testosterone production capability, though.

There are health conditions like autoimmune disorders that can happen and can be long term.

Spironolactone or other antiandrogens without estradiol give a much slower effect and avoid breast development for longer, but don't rely on that. It is different for everyone. All of this is different for everyone. Much of the research you read is aimed at speaking to people who are looking for good permanent results, not people who are worried about needing to quit and go back. Because of that they tend to downplay and minimize the effectiveness of the treatments so that you won't get your hopes up expecting double D breasts and a hot bod. They also don't very well define what they mean by things like breast development. Is that fat distribution? Is that gland development? Is that nipple enlargement? Is it areola thickness? They don't explain the specifics.

Understand that breasts are not balls of fat. They contain glandular and organ tissue. You never lose that and it is the first thing you grow. You won't be getting some fat on your chest that later melts away. You get a new body part. You get hardened tissue that pushes your chest out and puffs up your nipples long before any fat. Learn about gynecomastia. Read about male breast development. It is different than female breast development. Read about people's experience with trying to get gynecomastia to go away. Read about steroid use and how it feminizes the body. The effects of testosterone steroids causing estrogen imbalance are very similar to the effects of the steroid estradiol that you will take. They cause the same changes.

Basically put yourself in the place of someone trying to reverse the changes of HRT. What would they be looking for? What information or help is there for them? Know what it will be like before you risk it!

You don't want to play with this. Make it a commitment or don't do it. This is not a try it out and see kind of situation. This is powerful and fast acting drugs. This is extreme body modification. Know that's what you're doing. This isn't a new you, it's a modified body.

Most of the time when a detrans person suicides it's recorded as a trans death, because a lot of the time people won't even know the real story behind it. If a person, for instance, regrets what they did but doesn't tell anyone, they'll just be seen as trans.

The harmful side effects are largely unknown due to lack of interest in doing clinical trials to study them. I was left with permanent breast pain. That was not in any of the warnings or medical literature. No one knows what to do with me now. I'm basically the result of a medical experiment I didn't know was an experiment when I participated. That could be you too if you go ahead with HRT.

The untold secret, sadly, is that transmaxers and transgender women are the same thing. Most of the time what they call "dysphoria" is just the same feeling of unfulfillment that incels feel, and the jealousy of perceived female privilege is the motivation to transition. They come from the same community background and the same philosophies, but the transgender community broke off from the incel community about fifteen years ago and they have forgotten where they came from. I'm old enough to remember that evolution.

Doctors are not supposed to give you what you want. This isn't customer service. They're supposed to give you what will make you better. If they give you something that makes you worse, then you have a legitimate claim of medical malpractice. They're the professionals. They're responsible for the outcome. A patient is a consultant. A patient is expected to believe the advice of their doctor and trust their education and experience to make the right decision. This is how medicine works. The doctor is to blame here, not the patient.
