Ask Matt: Hormone Roundup

November 19, 2012 by Matt Kailey

I have recently gotten several questions about hormones, so I decided to put them together in a (slightly long) post. I'm hoping that my readers can pitch in with their thoughts. So here goes:

A reader writes: "I heard once that those who are mentally ill will never be approved by any doctor to have any sort of sexual reassignment surgery. I'm also assuming this includes prescriptions for testosterone. This is of interest to me as I am bipolar, so, in my understanding, this means I will never be able to have surgeries if I wanted to.

"This leads me to my next question. Without the benefits of surgeries and T I have already come to the conclusion that I will never pass as a man, nor, more than likely, be fully accepted into the FTM community, since, from what I've seen, it is heavily based around those experiences of surgeries and T treatments. So, where does that leave me?
