Testosterone is not the appropriate cure for Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)

A lot of FTM are craving for T just because they want not to experience anymore Premenstrual Syndrome.

Here is an extract from Meiko Elias Xavier Myspace blog:

"The estrogen is hitting me hard, friends. In fact so bad that Wed, Thurs and Fri I felt the worst I've felt in over 2 years, since before I started my transition. The funny thing is that I'm not experiencing body dysmorphia. I'm finally comfortable with my body. I feel like, yes, I am smaller than other guys, but for my frame, I have a good amount of muscle. The issue is that emotionally the estrogen is tearing me down about a week out of the month. I know many females tend to get grumpy, and well, let's just admit it folks, downright bitchy during and around their period. I know I am. But this feeling for me is intensified by about 100. Basically I cried pretty much non stop for about 3, almost 4 days."
.....
"What to do about this problem. Well, I took intermediate action and actually did something I've really been avoiding. I gave myself a shot of 60mg of Testosterone."


This blog extract is full of misconception about PMS and unlike written Testosterone is not the cure for PMS as it is the excess of T versus oestrogen that creates more PMS symptoms.

PMS can be cured with a good diet, anitidepressants, antianxiety and ovulation suppression pills...

It is sad to imagine women entering in a transition process, being on Testosterone just because they did not have the accurate information about PMS treatment.

Do lesbian women date FTM, Transmale, transguy ?



For the dummies:

  • Lesbian are women dating women
  • Bisexual women are women dating women or men
  • Straight women are women dating male
  • Sexual orientation can change during one individual lifetime...
FTM, Female to Male Transsexual, can be :
  • male trapped in a woman body who choose to transition (Testosterone and surgeries) to make their body getting closer as they can of the body of a biomale...
  • or butches which have been put under pressure by the queer community or the medical system to go for this transition from female to male

This video is interesting but it based on a misconception. Yes some women previously called "lesbians" may date FTM. But, once they have done it, they become "bisexual". Period.

Frankly, it really looks like those women were "bisexual in the closet" so let's thanks all the FTM helping the lesbian community to identify those bisexual women ;o)...

The reason why those women choose to change their sexual orientation from lesbian to bisexual when dating a FTM may be:

  • they were already partnering with the FTM before the transition and stayed
  • they like FTM because it is a fashion, it is in...
  • they feel more secure to start exploring the other side of their bisexuality with FTM than with a bio male...

Note that once a lesbian has crossed the bridge to bisexuality thanks to FTM help, she may want to know bio male and so a lot of them leave their FTM partners for bio males...

Too bad ;)
