Trans News/ Issues

I received my January-March 2013 volume of the International Journal of Transgenderism today in the mail at work.

I don't remember the name of the study, but it was written by Milton Diamond, M.D. (he is a big dealio in the field) about identical twins.

I only read the abstract and forgot to bring it home with me. However, evidently based on a study he did, along with data from past studies, 20% of identical twin pairs both transitioned if one transitioned.

He says they controlled for environmental factors, but I didn't see anywhere that it said that this was for twins raised apart, so I will have to see how they controlled for this.

Anyway, interesting stuff!
