Right.
I believe it is labelled as a disorder [/quote]
it sure is
as I understand it, you can get a sex change on the NHS once you’ve been diagnosed. You have to live as a woman for at least a year first to be sure it’s what you want before you get any hormones of whatever

LOL ooops! Does this camp come with attractive looking post-op tranny’s?

Not to armchair the pyschology of this to much, but his hyper-masculinization (beard, bodybuilder, heavy metal) then switching to female reads like a case study of someone who was sexually abused by a male, built up a protective coat of muscle to qwell the demons inside (“you can’t get me, I’m bigger than you!”), this failed, then switched to female in kind of a Stockholm Syndrome of accepting what the abuser did.

Just wanted to point out that I was perusing this person’s (I’m having trouble using him/her or whatnot) youtube channel and they’re still big into metal. Trying to get a band going and recording some music. There’s a facebook page, search rogue arsenal, there’s one song and a teaser of another on there. It’s not bad.

Interesting that you point that out, as I believe this person used steroids when they were still lifting weights regularly.

I’m looking at one extremely radical, nearly irreversible option for treatment. With very little allowed by modern “progressive” society in the way of alternatives.
Or am I wrong to be skeptical or to wonder if perhaps something else isn’t actually going on here?
EDIT: by “allowed” I mean “allowed to be discussed”

Haha! Unfortunately, no. Usually a bunch of overweight, angry looking middle aged women in tight fitting polyester pant-suits.

AAS enhances who you are.
This radically and permanently transforms it.
There are similarities, but I would strongly argue against their stemming from the same source.

Cortes,
Have you ever detailed your gear use in a thread. I think that would be an interesting read.

I’m considering taking the plunge myself.

Actually, I have indeed. There are a couple of stickied threads in the steroid forum. I think my two best logs are in the “Best of…” stickies. I’ll see if I can find the links real quick.
Here you go, Cap. The first is Test/Tren/Dbol, the second is similar, but employing a particular growth hormone protocol developed by BBB. Both were fantastic cycles, especially the second.

Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I would say that responsible AAS use by a healthy male can enhance who you are, whereas heavy and prolonged (ie years) use by a female can result in a radical and permanent transformation. Similar to the estrogen protocol this individual went on. Less a matter of which hormone is being used, but rather the manner and intent with which it is being used.
Of course, surgery is something else entirely, but I’m not sure the individual being discussed has had any. At least, in the videos I watched they mentioned several times their inability to afford surgery, and I never caught any reference as to whether or not their plumbing was still exterior.
Regardless, I have precisely zero real world experience with any of this, so if I’m just coming out of left field with wildly inaccurate assumptions please let me know.

Sure that’s true, but the comment I was taking umbrage against compared a man taking transforming himself into a female to another man taking AAS in order to become bigger, stronger, and generally more awesome.

I’m going to check these out too.
I have to say man you clearly know your shit when it comes to training and AAS, would be good if you would get involved with the AAS subforum and training areas of the site again.

Come back to us Cortes, we need you!

Haha. I don’t know, I kind of left that forum behind. Maybe I could be dragged back there, but the couple of times I’ve popped back over there I ended up leaving pretty quickly. Not because anything was necessarily wrong with the forum itself, it seemed pretty much the same to me. Just because I felt I’d kind of grown out of it.
I will say that I am always happy to address direct questions so if there happen to be any and you make a thread over there please feel free to point me that way and I’ll do what I can if my schedule allows it (I have busy periods which is why you see me disappear and pop back up after a month or two again).
I will also add that when I first joined this website, having been led here by the print publication, I was 5’11", 175lbs, and I used to wonder if I would ever manage to achieve the 220+ with abs physique I dreamed of having. A few years later (having made a ton of progress well before employing AAS), I was absolutely thrilled to find that even a lifetime weak-sauce skinny-boy hardgainer like myself could have the honor of receiving such flattering compliments as you and Cap has paid me here. Thanks so much, I’m seriously nothing special except that I relentlessly study and relentlessly persevere.
