This is in no way, shape or form a widespread affair even among trans individuals taking testosterone, and a large number of my companions have either kept bleeding or have unending spotting. Numerous others don't take testosterone, either in light of the fact that it isn't a good fit for them, or on the grounds that the social insurance framework has kept them holding up.

On Twitter these sort of limit question have been a lasting issue.
