Overall, surprisingly not a terrible article from AP about trans youth healthcare. My only quibble is mainly around the line:
"Research on long-term hormone use in transgender adults has found potential health risks including a modest risk for blood clots with estrogen and negative cholesterol changes with testosterone."
You know who else has modest risk for blood clots over cis men? Cis women.
You know who else has worse cholesterol than cis women? Cis men.

I don't think anyone has ever said "well, cis men's cholesterol risk is a problem, we better block their hormones or give them estrogen".

It's also a long standing beef I have with surgeons for trans women - many still insist that we stop HRT for some amount before and after surgery for blood clots risks, and yet, they do no such thing for surgery on cis women...
