On a second thought this misinformation could also affect a trans masc person. I doubt it would, they are more vulnerable and hence would probably try to cross-check info... Or even rely on community support. In many cases, getting an actual testosterone prescription from a medical doctor is even possible.
30 seconds googling for accuracy? Is that how long it takes to verify disinformation? What if you come across a study funded by big onion that says the same thing? How do you know you're not being mislead on a higher level? You skim an ncbi article for 30 seconds and think you know right from wrong?
As a trans person, you don't trust info that doesn't come from the trans community.
As a trans person, community info is a mixed bag. Trust but verify and keep your bs detectors up. Also food won't impact your sex hormone levels sufficiently unless it's something like an herbal medicine that just happens to also be eaten for fun.
Sure being from the community doesn't mean the info is good, but if it's from outside it DEFINITELY isn't
If there's one thing children are known for, it's checking their sources and being tied into larger minority communities
You talk about trans people as if they are removed
Have i met trans people dumb enough to fall for this? Yes. Have I met trans people dumb enough to fall for this for longer than the length of time that it tends to take to get your first hormone prescription? If so I really hope that means it's gotten faster since I started.
You start feeling it by a month.
That said, can I imagine trans guys who eat a ton of raw onions while on T? Yeah, absolutely
