I know that your interpretation is most likely what they meant in this meme.
However, I‘m wondering. Is there HRT that you take orally that could be affected by grapefruit too?
In that case there could be a much more positive interpretation of them being told to just be themselves, and they started HRT to achieve exactly that.
Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you can eat grapefruit while on medication.
Grapefruit delays the breakdown of medication in the body. Most medication require the liver to break down whatever is in the pill into the actual chemical that will effect your body. So what happens is the original chemical in the meds builds up in your body’s and then the grapefruit wears off and your liver goes nuts making active ingredients, leading to an overdose.
I’m not following your question… Grapefruit inhibits the breakdown of meds, it’s probably important to appropriately dose HRTs over days/weeks or else there could be some problems with the endocrine systems due to unexpectedly elevated levels (e.g. cardio stuff).
