Effects of testosterone on transitioning men
Submitted by pumpkinpie on Thu, 05/01/2008 - 12:43pm.QUESTION: Affects of testosterone on transitioning men
Submitted by Anonymousy on Tue, 04/22/2008 - 7:43pm.I'm enrolled in a health class and I've asked my teacher questions about transitioning males and the affects of testosterone on their body, especially considering that estrogen seems to have a protective effect on female bodies. I haven't gotten a straight answer. Particularly, I'm wondering if testosterone makes someone who is transitioning more susceptible to osteoporous and heart disease. It would be great to get this information from a source that has trans people's interests at heart.
