Is there a point when Trans folk don't have to use hormones?

No. Transpeople always have to use the hormones.

Also, injections aren't always the only method. There's patches, creams/gels, subdermal implants, etc

 

As Sarcastic said, we always have to use them. Hormones have to be generated by something, and unless we figure out a way to make the body do it in the future, there is no other way than artificial hormones. But needles aren't the only method, and they aren't usually every week. The injection I was offered was every 12 weeks. I declined, though, because I didn't want to have to get someone else to do it for me, and I take a gel every day.

Really though, the occasional needle isn't that bad.

 

Good topic though, so by the time I start my transition, it will be like..Hey I'll inject Testosterone for the rest of my life!I'm just afraid of the complications when I get old. :-(

 

Yeah. It's a lifelong thing. Hence why transition isn't something you do on a lunch break. I like to think of it as akin to any other needed medication, allergy shots or insulin. It's a way to maintain the treatment for dysphoria- and going back to my example is a disorder (in this case, absence of the correct hormone for a brain wired to receive it) to be managed.

 

Just a quick add, but that's one of the reasons that a lot of us get gender corrective surgeries later. Once we get rid of the things producing the wrong hormones, we can take smaller doses.
