Well I'm pre HRT, although I'm gonna start back jumping through the hoops tomorrow again. Got knocked back a bit and then kept putting it off. Even though I'm so close.
Anywho. Been wondering about the effects of the hormones. Still have a few hoops before I get to meet the Endo who I had planned to ask everything. But as I still play a huge amount of sports, at a very high level, I have always been afraid that I will basically have to give up simply as I won't be able to compete at the same level any more. Because I will still have to play with guys. The coming out and acceptance wouldn't be an issue. But playing at a lower standard with weaker players would kind of bore me.
Mainly soccer. But hurling or Gaelic Football too. And I'm already made of glass and too injury prone. Been almost a year since I last played a competitive game. Strength isn't a huge part of my game. But speed and physical collisions would be. Not to mention the help I guess T gives when getting angry and mean for a game.
Just wondering if anybody was forced to give up sports or something due to the effects of HRT? Don't want to, but the transition is obviously more important to me. It was rather humerous describing my love of footy to my therapist in that I pretty much ticked all the basic stereotypical boxes for diagnosis, but also has a super angry competitive side. And it was like my second question when I went in, although he coudln't fully answer
