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.

Who knew that castrating oneself lead to poor health?
Or controlling one’s vagina into a penis made for poor health?
(Everyone raises their hand)
Ack! Not so fast, Mr. Balless!
Who would have thought that riddling your body with foreign hormones on top of surgical mutilation can have long term health issues.
Just as long as the medical/pharma/government complex makes a killing, that’s all that counts.

(O.K., that’s just a nut-job tinfoil conspiracy - I admit it...)
WHO CARES?
And post op trannys have a 50% higher suicide rate. If you know one, and you have a dead pool, take the post op tranny. You’ll win.
Nervous wrecks tend to be sickly... we knew this.
Surely the answer to a nervous wreck should not be to wreck him or her worse.
That is what most of the data shows. Girls to boys transgenders are up 4,500% in ten years.
GOD CARES.
Be that as it may, I have NO sympathy for people who abuse themselves, and one could certainly say that transvestites abuse themselves!
Unhealthy habits like multiple anonymous sex partners, taking it up the a— without protection, putting it up the a— without protection, need I go on?
Hell, they start out with a diagnosis of being sick in the head,,,it just gets worse from there.
You might change your attitude when you understand that vulnerable people subjected to abuse learn abusive habits very, very deeply, ones that they cry out to God for help with and yet have great difficulty stopping.
Or, you might not.
But it’s a test of where you are with respect to God.
Yeah, who knew that a sick mind would lead to a sick body (and soul).
You ain’t seen nothin’ yet
Um, it’s a pre-existing condition.
Sorry...not going there...
LOL They already think they are defective, being "sick" is just more of the same.
