Transgender adults may be more likely to have unhealthy habits and medical issues that negatively impact their quality of life than people whose gender identity matches what it says on their birth certificates, a U.S. study suggests.
Researchers examined survey data from 3,075 transgender adults as well as 719,567 adults who are cisgender, meaning their gender identity matches the sex they were assigned at birth.
Compared to cisgender Americans, transgender individuals were more likely to be sedentary, current smokers, and uninsured, researchers report in JAMA Internal Medicine.
Transgender people were also 30 percent more likely to report being in “fair” or “poor” health over the past month than cisgender adults, as well as 66 percent more likely to report experiencing severe mental distress.
An estimated 0.55 percent of the people in the survey identified as transgender, which suggests there may be about 1.27 million transgender adults in the U.S.
The study wasn’t a controlled experiment designed to prove whether or how gender identity might directly impact health. Another limitation is that researchers lacked data on how differences within the transgender population such as gender, race and sexual orientation might influence the results.

Gee, it’s almost like there are reasons for the social taboos that developed around all of these degenerate behaviors. Funny, that. Funny queer, not funny haha.

(They are volunteers to determine the deleterious effects of awful health habits.)
Sick people are sick.

I quit reading after “cisgender”. The Marxist language police can all DIAF. I won’t be adopting this nonsense.
Cutting off your dick is bad for your health. So is being perpetually angry at the world for not accepting your fantasy.
