MODERATORS
It confuses me too. Most HRT medications were originally developed for cis people. I find it cruel to restrict access for trans and gender non-conforming people when the same treatments are readily available to cis people.
HRT for cis people is pretty common as far as I am aware. Medicine that affirms your birth gender are readily available. Estrogen for cis women and testosterone for cis men is common to treat deficiencies. Many women take E during menopause.
I think our societal concept of gender is harmful. Men and women are not fully distinct classes with no overlaps or commonalities. Adult sex hormones are not innately gendered. Everyone has a mixture of hormones.
I think it is harmful to reflexively dismiss testosterone for cis women and estrogen or progesterone for cis men. If changing someone's non-dominant hormones levels could give a benefit, it should be studied and considered.
