Cancer, blood clots, death: Study exposes risks for males who take estrogen to 'affirm' trans identity
[Daily Signal] Biological males who identify as transgender and take estrogen in order to appear female face myriad health risks, from infertility to diabetes, to testicular and breast cancer, and ultimately to early death, according to a new study.The study, published in the academic journal Discover Mental Health earlier this month, highlights adverse reactions to estrogen, both health risks that have been widely known and "newly identified adverse outcomes." While activists claim people who identify as transgender may commit suicide if they cannot access these medical interventions, which they call "gender-affirming care," some studies actually suggest that suicidal thoughts increase among those taking these drugs. "Several recent systematic reviews have found the evidence of benefit to be of low or very low certainty, while some risks, such as infertility, have long been recognized," the authors, led by Lauren Schwartz of Oklahoma City Psychiatry, write.
