Transgender vrouwen hebben géén verhoogd risico op hartinfarct en beroerte | Amsterdam UMC
In tegenstelling tot wat blijkt uit eerdere onderzoeken hebben transgender vrouwen die het hormoon oestradiol gebruiken voor hun transitie, géén verhoogd risico op een hartinfarct en een beroerte in vergelijking met mannen uit de algehele Nederlandse bevolking. Dit blijkt uit een grootschalige studie van Amsterdam UMC met data van ruim 4.000 transgender personen.

Was a pleasure to see @zoppolat.bsky.social once again present our work testing whether romantic relationship involvement buffers loneliness for asexuals as it has been shown to do for heterosexuals and other sexual minorities at the IARR mini conference in London. Curious about the results?…

I remember being sceptical reading some papers from the early 2000’s on rapid effects of androgens. And now several recent papers have now described membrane receptors for androgens (see also doi.org/10.1126/scis...)! And one already has an agonist!
