Ok, I just reread the article, and so I take back my statement about the size of the study. 3102 people is a respectable size for a study, I would think, though, to be fair, I am not acquainted with the way to properly review studies. However, the study was restricted to one clinic/hospital system. I still feel that we need more data, confirming such information before we can trust it. Also, we still have to consider the factors of the different anti-androgen in common usage between the US and Europe.

I'm glad to hear that you have no problems getting mammograms (that is where my concern and head was going...if "research" says that transwomen have no greater chance of breast cancer than cis men do, will insurance companies refuse mammograms for MTFs? Worrisome).

I did not know that there are different anti-androgens between the two countries. Great information to know! Thanks!

For those unaware, the Philadelphia Trans Health conference is held annually. If you've never attended and want to get more info, visit here: http://www.trans-health.org/

I highly recommend it. I attended just as I began my transition and found it to be one of the best experiences I've ever had.

I had the pleasure of hearing Miss Major speak at the Philly Trans Health conference back in 2007 or 2008. There is a kickstarter going on to raise money for a documentary on her. If you can donate or want to learn more visit here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...cumentary-film

So, just so y'all know: trans individuals will be the cause of the fall of Western Civilization (http://lgbtweekly.com/2013/10/09/was...-civilization/) and not something like a gov't shutdown or partisanship or anything like that.

I am going to start identifying as a halibut. I didn't even know that was a label!
