It's not 'petty' it's a recognised medical use of the pill. There are several 'side effects' of the pill that are commonly used as its main purpose, because it effectively treats them. Seeing as you need a prescription to get the pill, we can safely assume that a doctor has ok'd or more than likely recommended this path of treatment.
Until you have a basic understanding of endocrinology, don't lecture people on the effects of testosterone or oestrogen.
Its acne.. Using the pill for acne? That sounds like overkill. Especially when they have dozens of topical treatments for it. That wont create any side effects. Also if she has a sudden change in sexual desire it sounds like a hormonal issue. Also it was not a lecture it was a statement. You are really going to deny people with sex change operations take those type of shots? Since they do! Also the pill stops you from getting pregnant which has to do with hormones. Everything in this seems to be revolving around "Hormones". A females period, sex-drive, pregnancy, puberty, facial hair growing in, armpit hair, crotch hair all have to do with puberty which often sets on during teen-hood. I am also not saying OP stop taking them just stating it seems rather unnecessary considering its only for the sake of acne.
Severe acne often doesn't respond to other methods. It's a common use for the pill. I don't understand why you're arguing against the use. Topical treatments can have side effects. Roaccutane, a pill specifically for treating severe acne, has hideous side effects - both physically and psychologically. The birth control pill is a MUCH safer alternative, if it works, and thus a better/safer first choice.
I never said hormone treatment wasn't used in sex change procedures. You are a mong with no comprehension skills or understanding of basic concepts. I'm saying that the pill has nothing to do with hormones on the same level as that hormone therapy.
Well OP reported that they only had a change in sexual desire after the pill. Unless she was just gay/bi before she took them. Its not new that medication has side effects and make people feel different either. Some Anti depressants make the person taking them suicidal which really defeats the purpose of taking the pill but it happens. Also what you listed was a pill for acne I said topical. So I was talking about creams not medication. I have never heard of anyone becoming gay from a medication though.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/01/birth-control-attraction_n_2981391.html Article I found regarding the issue of women becoming gay because of the pill. Apparently it is happening to other females. Not sure how useful it will be but there you go.
1. That article had nothing to do with women 'becoming gay because of the pill'. Did you even read it? I read it several times to make sure I didn't miss the bit where it said women can 'become gay' from taking the pill. And I didn't. Because it wasn't about that.
2. The pill can cause a change in libido. This is a well documented side effect. There are other types of contraceptive pill that can be taken if a certain one has negative side effects.
3. Yes, what I put was a medication. Reading it back, I can actually see why I've confused you there. I should have had a sentence in between that said that sometimes topical treatments don't work and a medication is necessary.
It said that women were becoming more attracted to feminine features because of the pill. It also said that the pills change the hormones of the women so things like this sometimes end up happening. I actually found more articles or women reporting they felt less attracted to masculine men or have become attracted to women. However this one seemed the best and I just linked this one and the others were very short next to this one.
Is it normal that the contraceptive pill is making me bisexual?
