It's not surprising, especially not that female "trans" people (i.e. "trans men") suffer from taking large doses of male sex hormones. I can think of at least two female "trans" persons who have been mass shooters. One wonders if large intravenous doses of testosterone lead to greatly increased aggression.Majority of side effects suffered by trans people taking hormone drugs are 'serious' and potentially life threatening, according to 'striking' analysis of official data
Most transgender people in the US who take hormone drugs do not suffer serious side effects - but for those who do, the symptoms are usually life-threatening.
That is the conclusion of one of the first studies on the therapies, which have been increasingly used off-label in recent years to treat gender dysphoria.
The researchers analyzed the FDA's Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) for side effects that occurred in trans people taking the medications to affirm their new gender.
They found just over 400 cases of adverse side effects, dating as far back as the database goes until June 2023. However, given that at least 700,000 trans Americans are estimated to be on the drugs, the researchers said the true number of adverse reactions is likely 'underreported.'
Of the reports, up to 88 percent were the most serious type - including organ damage, cancer, and death. The study team described this high number of serious events as 'striking.'
