Documents on irreversibility of estrogens on trans women?
Hi !
In order to try to get a legal change of my first name and gender (which was rejected in court on the arguments that, as I hadn't had surgery, I didn't show signs of "irreversible changes" - it's basically the indication for legal changes in France -, but for which I am making an appeal), I am looking for documents (which could be presented in front of a judge, so no blogs or trans websites I guess :( ) attesting that hormonal therapy for trans women give "irreversible" changes. (Particularly, what would be wonderful would be "official" documents (e.g., scientifical articles) saying there are risks of permanent sterility with either or both of cyproterone acetate and estrogen, even if you stop it - the judges seem to like their trans people to be sterile. Alarming articles written by authority doctors saying trans women should be very cautious before starting hormones because it causes irreversible changes would be good too.).
(Yes, I know, there is google, but finding relevant e.g. scientifical articles is not obvious as many are not available for free or are not so easy to search)
Thanks, and I hope it's not too much off-topic :)
