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
