I’m just adding to my store of peer-reviewed articles that argue against the goodness of transgender behaviors. This time, I found a study from the European Journal of Endocrinology. The data is from 2671 people from Denmark, which is a very transgender-affirming country. Let’s take a look at the findings, as reported by the UK Telegraph.

It says:

The new data is published in the European Journal of Endocrinology.

The study revealed that all transgender people regardless of the sex they were born or the gender they were transitioning to, were at “significantly increased risk” from deadly conditions like heart attacks, strokes, high blood pressure and high blood fat and cholesterol levels.

The experts looked at the health of 2,671 transgender people from Denmark over a five-year period with an average age of 22 and 26 for trans men and women respectively.

They compared the incidence of cardiovascular disease with a control group of 26,700 people and presented the results to the European Association for the Study of Diabetes.

People who were “assigned male at birth” and taking oestrogen as a trans woman, were 93 per cent more likely to suffer from cardiovascular disease than men and 73 per cent more likely than women.

The incidence rate was around three per cent for trans women, up from around 1.5 per cent for men and 1.7 per cent for women.

Trans women taking hormones are up to 95 per cent more likely to suffer heart disease, a new study has found.

[…]Trans men, who were “assigned female at birth”, but were taking testosterone were 63 per cent more likely to have some form of heart disease than women, and more than double as likely than men.

I think that the adults who encourage young people to engage in these behaviors are so focused on feelings and peer-approval, that they don’t want to consider the bad effects. They want what’s good for them, and telling confused young people right and wrong is not very “cool” in this time and place. So, the adults grab what’s good for them, and then act surprised later, when these behaviors don’t work out. “It has to be the fault of the disapprovers” they cry. But science tells a different story.
