.... and I thought this thread had the potential to be at least a little funny:ugh2:

I think the OP has a valid point. I have been in the military for 14 years now and it seems like every year they want me to carry more gear, run farther, and faster than when I was 20. I honestly believe that they should line us up once a month and give us injections of the stuff. If they want more they need to give me the tools to do more.

I would not want to take on the responsibility of prescribing large doses of estrogens (side effects, risk of clots/strokes, etc) to a male with a gender identity issue. Nor would I write a whole boatload of testosterone to a woman with the same.

I think a little extra testosterone, in a male, wouldn't be so bad --- particularly if it's watched VERY closely with liver function tests and a small mountain of paperwork holding me harmless for the effects. The problem is that I need to have a damn good argument for the FDA / DEA in the case I get audited, and that's always a real possibility regardless of the amount of control's you write.

You might be able to convince a urologist to write it, that would be your best bet, after age 40.

And no, i'm not one of those.

Wait......as an MD, shouldn't you be on the Ferrari or Lamborghini forum? :confused:

:D
