Incorrect headlines and social media posts claim that a "new study" shows a 95% increase in heart disease. The study actually finds estrogen has no link, and does not control for smoking, BMI.
Stress was mentioned as a potential cause of heart disease in transgender people. The anti transgender activists and politicians are a significant contributor to stress among transfolk. Perhaps we should be blaming the anti transgender movement (if it is a true movement) for the increased prevalence of heart disease among transgender people?
every publication you mentioned in this post is associated with inflammatory and poorly researched articles, usually with a rightward slant. I wouldn't trust ANY of them to tell me anything about science.
Misinformation is the name of their game. Everything about this, to a rational person, is paranoid, hate-mongering, mentally firewalling anything that could change their mind. There is no threat from trans people. Only from phobes, only the divisive politics that further erodes freedom. But the fight has only begun.
If estrogen therapy was so bad for trans people it would also have the same affect in cisgender people. This is nothing more than priming the pumps to take away our hormones.
You know what’s life threatening? My brain being forced to run on hormones it’s not suited to. When I started HRT my brain and my entire perception and interaction came alive. The color of the world became apparent for the first time. I will not give this up
I can and will order HRT from Vanuatu before I detransition.
I have a question, what about the COVID factor? Could the fact that COVID is a thing and is raising heart disease rates for trans people (in addition for cis people)? Did these studies even account for COVID?
So suddenly the anti-trans groups are so concerned about the cardiovascular well-being of trans people? Yet at the same time they want theocratic geniuses like AL gov Kay Ivey and her prehistoric bloviating medical expertise “I believe the good lord…blah blah blah…” making trans people’s healthcare decisions. Now the gov Iveys of the world are cardiologists too. As if the cruelty weren’t enough, the arrogance of those participating in organized hate-for-profit is astonishing.

Thank you for another slam dunk, Erin. Your content is critical to the cause.

Even if it did I'd still take my E. Everything is so much better on it than not.

It would still be worth it, to me.

Thank you for your great work that shines a light onto misinformation.
