"Hormonal therapy for transsexual patients is safe and effective, a multicenter European study indicates. The results will be presented Saturday at The Endocrine Society's 95th Annual Meeting in San Francisco."

"Hormonal therapy involves large doses of male or female sex hormones, which has led to concern about its health effects. This study found that short-term hormonal therapy for transsexualism is effective and safe, with few side effects." "Female-to-male transsexuals received a form of the male sex hormone testosterone. Male-to-female transsexuals received anti-androgen treatment in combination with a form of estrogen, which is the principal female sex hormone. Treatment was for 12 months." I am in the SF Bay Area and I am going to see if I can get into conference to hear about the study and/or get an entire copy of the study. Thanks again.

We definitely do need more information on it, that is for certain. We do know, however, the effects of NOT having hormonal therapy, and being able to transition. We also know something about the effects of stopping hormonal therapy, from the experience of all the people that have had to do that. I, personally, do not ever wish to go off my hormones. They help keep me fairly sane, and somewhat content with my body.

His response was to ask me to think about the distress I would feel about leaving where I currently live. Did I like my job here? Would I be ok moving away from my family? His point was, the distress of leaving my home could create just as much chance of recurrence as the environment/atmosphere could. We all know the connection between emotional stress and physical illness. Will the transperson who does not use cross sex hormones due to fear of cancer actually be more likely to get cancer due to the level of distress they have from their body dysphoria? Just some food for thought.

I went to the trans-health conference in Philly last week. On Saturday there was a workshop on hormones and cancer. I was not able to attend that particular workship, but I plan to try to get a hold of the presenter and see if he/she can send me any materials.
I can post the information here, if anyone is interested.

Gendered Restrooms and Minority Stress: The Public Regulation of Gender and its Impact on Transgender People’s Lives
By Jody L. Herman June 2013 Transgender and gender non-conforming people report being denied access to gendered restrooms, and experiencing verbal harassment and physical assault in these spaces at alarming rates. The Washington, DC- based survey, conducted with the DC Trans Coalition, found that 70 percent of survey respondents report experiencing verbal harassment, assault, and being denied access to public restrooms. The study identifies the impact that transgender people’s negative experiences in gendered restrooms can have on their education, employment, health, and participation in public life. Findings include: • 27 percent of those who worked in Washington, DC, experienced problems using restrooms at work that, in some cases, caused them to change jobs or leave their employer entirely. • 54 percent of all respondents reported having some sort of physical problem from trying to avoid using public restrooms, such as dehydration, kidney infections, and urinary tract infections. • 58 percent reported that they have avoided going out in public due to a lack of safe public restroom facilities. • 10 percent of survey respondents who attended school in Washington, DC, reported a negative impact on their education, including having excessive absences and dropping out of school due to issues related to restroom access. • People of color and people who have not medically transitioned fared worse in some measured survey outcomes. Read the Full Report: http://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.ed...-June-2013.pdf __________________________________________________ ________ In the final point above it says "medically transitioned." I think we can all agree that medical transition could include surgeries and hormones. I point this out because many Butches experience the same sort of stuff when using the restroom. I don't think this only happens to Transexual people. I think it happens to people that do not conform, express their gender according to whatever "mainstream" construction that is put upon gender expression. This would include even female identified butches. Many may disagree with me but I think there are many butches that are transgender and not transexual. IMO, transgender is those who do not conform, express, fit in the box of what most of society thinks their gender should look and act like. You can very well be a butch and identify completely as a woman and still live your life outside of what most consider "gender norms." My point, maybe we have commonalities that trump the differences.
