I wish they had divided the subjects into groups based on whether they were on hormones.

Here's a link to the study: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2769915?utm_source=For_The_Media&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=ftm_links&utm_term=082820

Thanks for the URL to the study.

I sometimes think they do NOT divide groups based on whether they are on hormones or not because the ones not on hormones skew the results toward falsely concluding that fewer transgendered folk are affected (the ones not on hormones will experience much less negative health impacts on their body, endocrinologically).

Yeah, it's no surprise that people who alter their bodies with hormone levels not normal for their bodies will see adverse effects. I feel for them. :-/
