Back

I just got off the phone with a client who began by asking what he needs to do if he closes his business for a couple of months. As we talked he disclosed that he's been having treatment for prostate cancer. Because of his age, stage of cancer and other variables that are considered for his treatment, the doc is using medicine to suppress his testosterone level... apparently, so much that it's undetectable. And because the human body requires at least one dominant sex hormone or other serious issues will occur, he will require estrogen therapy.

This is the same exact treatment that transwomen go through for gender dysphoria. We suppress our testosterone and increase our estrogen. The difference is our mental, emotional, physical (and for those who have a spiritual inclination) our spiritual well being is drastically improved. For my client this is NOT happening.
He described strong feelings of mental and emotional distress because of what the medicine is doing to his body to treat the cancer. He said his body is "becoming like a woman's."

He has developed gender dysphoria. In not so many words he said it. He said "I understand much better now what transgender people must experience because I don't feel right in my body." He continued by saying "I'm alive but at what cost."

I wish EVERY transphobe would go through this to find this revelation.
