I can't speak for the community, especially as I haven't really talked to many transwomen since I moved to Florida. However, as for my thoughts: First off, it was a very small study. As far as I know, it has not been replicated, so the results can't really be confirmed. Secondly, Europeans use a different anti-androgen then we do, here in the US, so that factor must also be considered. I think that we need a lot more information before we can really draw any solid conclusions from this. Mind you, it IS interesting, but not positive proof, at least to my mind.
Oh, I definitely have been getting mamograms, since I am over 50, or at least I was through the Houston VA hospital system. Hopefully, my new doctors down here in Florida will also insist that I get them. I do suspect that I am going to have to educate them, as well as the pharmacist, though, as to how to approach medical treatment of transwomen.
