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.

@NosirrahSec Like yes, it's something that probably does deserve a mention when someone begins HRT, especially if they have other risk factors for blood clots or cholesterol that you/your primary care doc will want to be aware of the increased risk over what you may have been used to. But from an overall health point of view, trans folks are going to end up in a similar risk profile than most other folks of the same gender.
