Question about post-op transwomen

(Anonymous) 2015-05-22 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
I'm working on a Zombie Apocalypse web/comic idea and one of my characters is trans. I am really curious about what happens to a post-op MtF if they don't have access to estrogen and such for a prolong time? The only info I've come close to finding was from Orange is the New Black but I haven't been able to find anything else online. This has really been holding up progress on my idea so hopefully someone can help.

I can field this somewhat. If a transwoman is fully post-OP, meaning she has undergone surgery to have previous male anatomy reconstructed, that would mean she no longer has the means of producing any sex hormones whatsoever.

This is bad for a whole bunch of reasons, as our sex hormones (more specifically their derivatives) have major to minor roles in the regulation of things like bone density, kidney function, muscle tone, skin tone... even our sensitivity to insulin.

Long story short, having absolutely no access to any kind of hormone supplementation would at first have similar symptoms to menopause. After that, things would get a lot more serious.

I haven't read anything specific on this subject, however, so I can really only postulate.
