In Thailand, very early HRT is a fact of life. I met one young woman that started very early, I think before 10. She was about 18 when I was there in 2006 and had been on such heavy doses that the comment was made that it fried her brain. Of course Thai people look very androgenous anyhow and when you load a boy up with it at such an early age, they just grow right into women. I think she had very nice breasts and without implants.

Of course, the Thai people would just as soon lie to you as not, so I did not find out if all this was voluntary or not. There are many Thai "Lady Boys" working in the clubs there, however, she'd had full srs. So I do not know if she'd been "grown" for a rich man or what?

Before anyone gets upset about my "lying" comment, after SRS I developed a bladder infection but did not know it. So, after two weeks post op, I said that I was going home, and they got very upset, but they never did tell me that I had that infection and I needed to stay to get rid of it. At the time, I just thought that they were wanting me to stay on so that I could keep feeding their economy, but when I got home, I just felt like hell, so I went up to the VA hospital, at which time, I found that I had an ecoli infection in my bladder. It was so serious that they thought that I was going to die, but did not tell me until I showed up at the hospital a month later and the Doctor told me that she was surprised to see me, that they thought I would not make it.

I was not hospitalised because they thought that my contageon my spread to the general floor there, and they did not want that.

As a result, my general metabolisim is messed up, my skin burns like fire when I sweat, and I can get a paper cut just by looking at my printer. No, this is far beyond the normal effect of estrogen.

I know of another girl that had a similar problem that went to Thailand just after I did. She used to be very active here but isn't any more.

Much peace
