Right? It strikes me similarly to how the "vaccines cause autism" bullshit did. Assuming it's completely and totally true and vaccines did cause autism (they don't), most people would rather have autism than be dead from something completely preventable with a vaccine.
Doesn't stop reactionaries from running with it though

Dr Dorte Glintborg, [...], said “around a third” of the increased risk in trans men was due to taking hormones.
Dr Glintborg said this meant there was also a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes as a result but this was not confirmed by all studies. However, the contribution of hormones in trans women to their risk of heart disease was not as clear cut, she said.
No, please! You don't understand we need to cut propaganda now!
also just looking at the results in the abstract of this study
Gender-affirming hormone treatment (GAHT) explained part of elevated risk of CVD in transgenders AFAB, whereas GAHT did not contribute to the elevated risk of CVD in transgenders AMAB.
nice article title
Unless I missed something (Highly likely since I'm me but) this just seems like they are trying to pin the heart disease on HRT when yknow there are many larger factors at play here but ok I guess
BTW any study not listing ROA for estrogen treatment and dose range is dubious at best
The incidence rate was around three per cent for trans women, up from around 1.5 per cent for [cis] men and 1.7 per cent for [cis] women.
remember that a "95% higher risk" usually just means going from one in a million to one in five hundred thousand
Rag from Terf Island peddles more barely plausible deniable transphobia
Damn, who could've seen that coming?
absolutely not looking forward to the amount of reactionary agitprop that's gonna be cut from this.
slurs are KILLING our CHILDREN by teaching them WOKE and GENDER we have to KILL them first to SAVE our CHILDREN, I must SHOOT every slur I see in public and everyone I think might be a slur in disguise so they don't WOKE and KILL my CHILDREN. I AM THE DEFENDER. WITNESS ME!
Damn, and they're blaming the Estrogen? If the Estrogen was at fault, wouldn't cis women display the same outcomes?
Couldn't possibly be that there is a confounding variable that they are forgetting to control for. Such as transmisogyny and social discrimination causing trans people to have fewer economic opportunities resulting in lower economic status and less access to social resources such as healthcare, and higher rates of discrimination and inadequate treatment as a result when healthcare services are accessible.
Socio-economic status and discrimination has an impact on all measures of health, some of the most impactful being access to proper nutrition, the amount of stress a person has to manage, and the quality of care and social support a person has access to.
But of course, we're scientists here! Health could never be a social issue with social causes! Being trans must be bad for innate biological reasons, which is a scientifically objective conclusion untainted by the bias of society. /s
idgaf getting off hormones would make me commit mass murder within less than a month
Fuck these researchers. If they cared about trans people then they'd know that this sort of research is just going to be used as ammunition to restrict transition worldwide. Obviously we'd want to improve outcomes, but with the current climate they should have destroyed these results.
Ah, as you can see, the tankies are anti-science for saying we shouldn't release our 'Gay people are more statistically likely to contract AIDS' paper. Clearly they have an agenda here
Researchers studied nearly 500 adults over a five-year period and gathered traffic and aircraft noise data for each person's home address. After adjusting for other factors that contribute to cardiovascular risk (including air pollution), they found that every 5-decibel increase in the average 24-hour noise level was associated with a 34% increase in heart attacks, strokes, and other serious heart-related problems.

Research shows that these risks appear to rise in tandem with increases in PM2.5 levels, both in the short term (hours to days) and over the long term (one to five years), according to the NEJM article. Incremental rises in PM2.5 levels are also linked to a higher risk of being hospitalized or dying from heart failure.

worried about heart disease? better be worried about cars
Can't believe scientists are still doing these studies, instead of investigating the real trans healthcare question: how to make my boobs bigger.
Fairly sure that smoking, drinking or being above a certain weight all have a more than 95% increase of these heart disease risks, but this is obviously never mentioned once in studies like that because they aren't science but genocide fuel.
amerikkkans have absolutely zero right to selectively condemn anything said to cause heart disease. anyone who does so (and it's not like 1000% increase) is an absolutely unserious individual. homie, everything up to the fucking malevolent vibes causes heart disease here.
I was going to say this myself. It is very suspicious to just completely ignore the many commonly used substances that increase heart disease risks. It presents the notion that HRT is too dangerous to use when this context is not provided.
Especially because there's precedent when it comes to trans health. For example, using premarin (which is completely outdated now that we have bio-identical estradiole, but still gets cited by terfs to this day) for HRT in menopausdal cis women gives a 2 in 10,000 chance of developing breast cancer and this gets used as anti-trans ammunition all the time. But drinking on its own increases that risk to a 10 in 10,000, smoking is at 20 in 10,000, obesity is at 40 in 10,000. All of these are factors for heart disease as well, and it seems they have not been accounted for at all.
Yeah they're going to use this as a reason to deny trans people hrt for sure.
americans when mcdonald: it's their right to choose. they can choose not to go to mcdonald. we live in a free country
americans when cigarettes: the WOKE MOB wants to TAKE AWAY our CANCER STICKS. LIKE AND SHARE if you'll KILL a LIBERAL on SIGHT
americans when gender: YOU CAN'T HAVE THIS LIFE-SAVING CARE BECAUSE IT INCREASES YOUR RISK OF HEART DISEASE
Denying trans women at increased risk of heart disease HRT has been a thing since forever and is still happening in places that have medical gatekeeping (read: basically anywhere), but this will not get better now.
And yet it's still a net positive.
Sink this fucking island to the seabed.
Simple solution: we just gotta invent a completely artificial heart /hj
