The gender-bending trend comes with side effects that might be more troubling than being convinced by your government therapist (school teachers) that you are not your birth sex. Death, for example.
In the study, people with gender dysphoria who had ever used hormone replacements saw nearly seven times the risk of ischemic stroke (a blockage in a vessel supplying blood to the brain), nearly six times the risk of ST elevation myocardial infarction (the most serious type of heart attack) and nearly five times the risk of pulmonary embolism (a blockage in an artery in the lung), compared with people with gender dysphoria who had never used hormone replacements.
There are tens of thousands of reported unintended effects, many severe or permanent, like chemical castration, and now the American Cancer Society – which apparently can’t find any data to sift after 2020, which is not at all suspicious – was able to report that,
Is the fact that women don’t have a prostate a factor in the reduced risk among transmen? I’m no scientist, but I’d have to think it was, but the risk of cancers is still higher.
I’m sure Biden’s Ministry of Fairness is working on a way to blame straight white Christian men, which won’t be difficult. While whitey has higher rates of new cancer, he is (slightly) less likely to die of it than his black brother – though that’s likely to change. Minorities were smart enough to embrace vaccine hesitancy in more significant numbers in recent (COVID) years. While experts are baffled by the sudden rise in turbo cancers that the American Cancer Society can’t seem to report (still not suspicious), they are out there.
The other bit in that pull quote from the not-at-all right-wing American Cancer Institute is the increased risk of breast cancer among lesbian and bisexual women “due to higher prevalence risk factors, including fewer childbirth, higher alcohol use, and excess weight.” That’s their science, not mine. Lifestyle choices matter, and those add to the likelihood of cancer.
Without saying it, this also suggests that abortion may increase the risk of breast cancer among heterosexual women – assuming childbirth leads to breastfeeding, which is also under attack but has been known for years to coincide with reduced breast cancer risk. That’s good to know in case any Transwomen want to reduce their hormone-therapy-increased risk of breast cancer by trying to chest-feed.
Or something.
