Tratto da un post su Reddit molto interessante, in inglese purtroppo per chi non lo capisce.

Post: "17F here. Three years ago my body stopped producing estrogen and almost exclusively produced testosterone. I didn’t realize what was going on until this year, when I started gaining weight, losing hair on my head, getting thick facial hair, having a crisis of sexuality/gender, and anger management issues. Basic functions for my gender weren’t happening, like at all, and I developed strong Body Dysmorphia. Doctors aren’t sure what exactly happened, but they said basically my body started treating me like I was a teenage boy, including the libido, appetite, etc. I had a whole lot of problems with that. I now take estrogen and hormone supplements to manually make my body return to normal, and I feel great. Feel free to ask me about my experience if you wish!"

 

Q: Are you still having a “gender / sexuality crisis”, has your preferences changed, or has it gone back to previous preferences before you stopped producing estrogen?

A: I am no longer having a crisis, but my preferences have changed slightly. Before my body stopped producing estrogen, I exclusively liked men. After I was overproducing testosterone, I was very strongly attracted to women only. When I started taking medicine, I stopped being nearly as interested and found men attractive again. I currently identify as bisexual because I find women sexually attractive but am gradually becoming more interested in men.

 

Q: Has this changed your perspective on males at all?

Very interesting A: 

Oh yeah, for sure. It's a little immature but I completely understand the teenage boy libido and such. I also have a lot more male friends, but that's partially due to an attitude change. Before the ordeal, I used to be very blindly violently progressive feminist. Like the horrible "men are trash, men are rapists" type even though I found them attractive (my attitude makes me cringe every day) because most of my friends were, and that was the environment I was raised and taught in. Since this ordeal I've completely abandoned the ideology because I realized how ridiculous it was after getting a taste of what it was like to be one. I like to think of this situation as a blessing of sorts because it made me more empathetic. I don't regret it a second, I'd rather be the way I am now than be caught up in the mindset that men are inherently bad. I no longer associate or speak to the people I knew who believed that.

Sembra una CAH LATE ONSET da deficit di 21-idrossilasi.

A volte la natura colpisce nei modi piu misteriosi sulle persone che ne hanno maggiormente bisogno: in questo caso una femminista 3.0
