TUESDAY, Nov. 28, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Transgender people transitioning to male (transmasculine) identity typically take testosterone therapy as part of the process.
There have been worries that the treatment might spur erythrocytosis, an abnormally high concentration of red blood cells in blood that could prove dangerous
But new research should help allay those fears: The largest study on the subject to date finds no significant risk.
“Providers should feel more comfortable prescribing testosterone when it is indicated. Patients and the families of patients should feel reassured regarding at least this one source of anxiety about treatment," said study senior author Dr. Joshua Safer. He's executive director of the Mount Sinai Center for Transgender Medicine and Surgery in New York City.

The sick marxist left want all women to look like this,
BS!
It’s well known and established that any hormone replacement therapy greatly increases incidents of cancer - it’s also partially why it’s banned in athletics.
Supplementation for those in need is one thing but supplementing because you think your physical sex is wrong is retarded to the 10th degree
Yeah, except there’s no such thing so......
No one is transgender, and this is not therapy. It’s a false attempt at changing a person’s nature.
Was the Nashville school shooter taking testosterone shots? Might be a bad idea.
They will find a bunch as the years go by.
The implication is that it May Be Not Safer.
they are losing the narrative so time to lie some more
the author of this study is guaranteed to get unlimited funding for future “studies”
tell the LEFT what they want to hear and you are set for life
if you have xx chromosomes and a woman’s body
you have the correct body
it is the mind that is not in touch with reality
treat the mind not the body
" Using 2,571 genome-wide significant associations, we demonstrate that the genetic determinants of testosterone levels are substantially different between sexes and that genetically higher testosterone is harmful for metabolic diseases in women but beneficial in men." https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-0751-5
HRT does not GREATLY increase incidents of cancer. Why would it? If it is the same as what the subject produces but not enough of it, the result should be negligible. It's banned in sports for performance equality not health reasons. Arnold Schwartzenegger took massive amounts of testosterone to define his physique and he's still living and smoking cigars at 76.
But new research should help allay those fears: The largest federally funded study on the subject to date finds no significant risk, to the doctors or their bank accounts.
Testosterone to transition women to trans men are far worse than claimed. The left is pushing back on funding/services cuts to transing kids etc.
I have watched interviews and testimonies of ‘detransitioners’ - those who transed and regretted it.
Many of the regrets are medical impacts of which they were never told.
For women, they aren’t told that if they take testosterone, they may need a hysterectomy in about 5 years.You’d think their doctors would tell them that - but no because there’s big money in making people dependent on medical services for life. At the very least, a physician with a conscience would schedule them for follow ups to make sure they are safe from necrosis etc.
One of the ‘famous trans’ was the first to go public with that side effect. She had a medical crisis/sepsis/emergency hysterectomy to save her life because 5 years of testosterone caused her uterus to ‘die’ (necrosis) and she didn’t know it until she was near death.
Autoimmune illnesses as a result of cross sex hormones are common - which makes sense because the chemistry of changing sex could confuse the body (partial chemistry of DNA sex inherent in the body in opposition with cross sex hormones).
Horrible problems for both men and women. Male to female trans talk about osteoporosis and some can’t resume taking common testosterone because the body rejects it, but they are trying to get off estrogen for health reasons so they are caught in the middle.
From all that I have seen, it’s leftists taking advantage of people with mental illness (something that several detransers say they have) and scaring them emotionally, chemically and surgically. When people realize it’s destroying their health, and detransers say they now realize that it doesn’t work - they never ‘arrived’ to become the opposite gender and they still have all the problems they tried to escape by becoming trans in the first place, these people describe very painful problems resuming life as either sex, they don’t fit in and the people willing to date them are far and few between. The women who took testosterone can’t change their voices back to feminine so even if they return to looking female, they are often saddled with a purely masculine voice and irreversible male pattern baldness, among other problems.
One trans woman (DNA male) kept saying that he doesn’t know what the future holds because the whole trans thing has no medical research to answer heath questions and they are just being experimented on. There are those who insist it’s medically documented but when investigators dig in, the research is distorted, in adequate if and when any such research exists.
Sadly - the intake process for these people often includes medical notes in their records documenting trauma/sexual abuse/mental health issues, but those ailments are ignored and the victims are told that their personal problems are really because they are the wrong sex and if they just go through transition they will finally find peace, fit in etc. It sounds like medical hell and it’s permanent. They are often told during the trans process that if they don’t like it, it’s all reversible. It’s not. The worst complications are surgical and some have to go in for one corrective surgery after another, each with dangerous complications and costs.
One man who was detransitioning from trans woman back to DNA male said that after urinating, he would leak urine for an hour and that no one told him when he transed that he would end up smelling like urine wherever he went.
Didn’t we just have a problem with a female on a testosterone drunk following in the footsteps of the little boyz and shootin’ up students in her former school?
Thick pancake makeup doesn’t turn a man into a woman anymore than surgery does. Or wearing a dress. These are techniques to fool the observer - they don’t ‘change the deceiver’.
Women don’t ‘become men’ by taking Testosterone anymore than they become ‘men’ by wearing a fake beard.
In a few years people will look back on this time with feelings of great embarrassment for being so stupid.

This.
Hormones are: Birth control pills (oral contraceptives), anabolic and other steroid preparations to enhance hair growth or muscle development, hormones such as Lupron (to shrink the prostate in cases of cancer or prostatic hypertrophy), and of course estrogen and testosterone to help you “transition” from a male to female and vice versa.
Progesterone is administered as a long-term birth control measure - for example, to a woman who has just given birth, or to women in the military or athletics, to minimize the chances for pregnancy.
All these medicines come with explicit caveats. They are powerful drugs that create physiologic changes that are often PERMANENT. Also - I know y’all don’t care about this, but - the production of hormone medications involves animal cruelty.
Distrust the medical establishment. And then distrust them some more.
I was not transitioning, (always male and OK ); But my doc put me on testosterone suppliments and the next thing I noticed was that I was producing too many red blood cells. The solution was to draw some blood ervery few months and keep taking testosterone. Then I discovered I was developing arythmia and then I was prescribed blood thinners. Next I developed a subdural hemotoma. A doctor suggested that I should discontinue the testosterone because it may be cause of some of these problems. That is what I did.
Later found that I had sleep apnea throughout this period. I now believe this was the principle cause but I still have the other issues. I would recommend people who are considering this course of action to look carefully for other causes as well, I believe doctors are sometimes afflicted with tunnel vision.
Most of the recent school or mass shooters were trans-something. All of the female-to-male disturbed individuals were on testosterone and all experienced rage and urges to violence.
So it’s obviously not safe - for anyone around them.
