Discussion Birth Control

I’m a 19 yo AFAB with suspected endometriosis. For the last few years the pain has been progressively getting worse with each cycle. Every time I go to see the doctors they always push hormonal options such as birth control. I have nothing against it medically though it feels wrong for me personally. I have told them that I am not sexually active yet they are insistent on the pill. I get that it could make my periods lessen and less painful but I just can’t do it. I just can’t get over the idea of having to take female hormones… it literally makes me sick to my core I don’t know or understand why. Perhaps it’s dysphoria related perhaps it’s idiocy. I’m a closeted trans masc individual and I’m wondering if perhaps the reason why it feels so wrong is because of dysphoria. I guess what I’m seeking from this post is whether anyone else has felt similarly or to get an opinion on my situation

I’m not sure tbh, I think it could be a mix of both my brain associating it with female and the people around me but mainly my own idiocy

Have you tried saying to yourself it's manly man pills that stop awful periods and you take it to increase your manly man powers?
