So much to unpack in this Guardian article. I see Devon supplied their own photo, perhaps a guardian one wouldn't be as flattering? https://www.theguardian.com/society/2024/mar/18/science-knowledge-gap-trans-healthcare?CMP=ShareiOSAppp_Other

I found some of this article disturbing. Having seen what "gender surgeons" get up to I'm not sure how much I'd feel able to rely on some of this research.

"Nothing about us without is" sounds good and I can see the value of research done by and about different populations of people taking high doses of hormones but I'd at least want to balance the result of Devon Buchanan's trial with results of work by the other researchers who don't have such a powerful personal interest. For the same reason I wouldn't totally rely on research funded a drug company.

And as for "trans broken arm syndrome" - well, that's ironic. It's as if some people don't know there's a connection between hormones and osteoporosis.

Thank you @JustHereForTheDeletionMessageAgain for the link anyway.
