Of those who discontinued medical treatments such as hormone therapy, a new study found that 80 percent continued to endorse a trans identity.

I would think that, at least in some cases, stopping treatment isn't as much a "halting" of treatment, but more like a "finishing" of it.

I know in my case once i'm rid of T-producing organs, I plan on stopping my related meds. And once I've achieved all the feminization Estrogen injections can provide, I'll no longer be taking it for any transitional purpose. (Likely just going to be whatever level feels right for emotional/mental support, which I'd argue isn't in most peoples concept of transition treatment.)

I could be wrong, but my understanding is that your body needs certain levels of one of those two hormones in order to stay healthy. Specifically for mtf transition, hrt would be a lifelong endeavor if your gonads are removed. Or so I thought?
