Adolescents

1. Start a health journal.

2. Keep a journal for a week or two.

3. Make a high cholesterol food with a high enzyme food to accompany it. See if it reduces symptoms like dysphoria, suicidal ideation and poor immune function.

I don't really CARE about long hair and gender presentation. But if your child is sick all the time and suicidal and you can determine that a diet that produces progesterone makes them physically and mentally healthier, to me that's a MEDICAL condition and it's irresponsible to fret about stupid stuff like gender presentation in the face of "My child is sick and suicidal without this and NOT sick and suicidal with this."

Eggs (for the cholesterol) and honey (for the enzymes) on toast may be something you have on hand that most American kids would be willing to eat.

I used to be on the same email list as the author of Dana's View, a mom who used chelation and related nutritional support to help her ASD kids. Knowing dad and others would object to something scary sounding like chelation, she told people honestly "It's a supplement that helps some ASD kids." and didn't talk about "It treats metal poisoning."

If you are willing to support your child's physical and mental health this way, I highly recommend you not advertise that it's a means to support hormone production to people who may object to that.

Eggs and honey are not weird experimental drugs. If feeding your child eggs and honey or schnitzel (pig meat, probably high in cholesterol) and sauerkraut (another standard German food item and source of enzymes) improves their well-being, then for THEM, that's HEALTH FOOD. 

And I suggest you gloss over the details with anyone who might be a pointless pain in the butt about it.

Footnote 

Please keep in mind that progesterone is a precursor for both estrogen and testosterone. In a world with plummeting fertility rates, etc. there's a LOT to still be learned about human health and hormones. 

YOU can sort out what it means for your gender identity or sexual orientation or whatever if progesterone producing foods are yummy to you. MY writing is about HEALTH issues, like immune function.
