I am interested to see how this goes. My daughter got T through Planned Parenthood and passed out at the wheel and rolled her car 2 months later. Bloodwork showed she had raised prolactin and after an MRI found she has a prolactinoma and Testosterone stimulates growth in these tumors. Planned Parenthood never did preliminary bloodwork, which would have shown increased prolactin, and never followed up after telling her to get bloodwork a month after starting. She couldn't find the lab so she didn't get it. I can't believe that they are able to keep doing this.

I attended a Netroots Nation panel in 2018 where two women from oddly-named offices in reproductive rights organizations said that Planned Parenthood was transforming into a hormone provider to young people, a move which was somehow supposed to save abortion freedom. I have talked about it before. It was easily the strangest experience I ever had in progressive politics.
