Why not go to a woman doctor instead of going to TikTok for medical advice?
This presumes that the doctor's gender identity affects their knowledge of how a hormone affects the body from a scientific perspective? If you just want opinions from people that have a similar perspective, social media is probably right up that alley. If you want a critical review of scientific data and stories about how patients they have treated have faired, why is gender identity relevant?
