Let's talk science and medical consequences of HRT for transgender people. It's no secret males and females have different body settings and the way body process, metabolize, heal, gets sick, fends off infection varies by sex which may partially be linked to hormones. For instance autoimmune disorders are more common among females while lethal infections among males. Will the body of a transwoman follow a male pattern, female pattern or a mixed system pattern of diseases?
>>
It most likely depends on whether the particular disease is more influenced by genetics or hormone levels, I imagine there's a range.
>>
>>5068085

More female than male. X linked genetic diseases follow male pattern. Outside of that, everything follows female.

I developed autoimmune issues after transitioning. Psoriasis everywhere, where I didn't have any problems before.

I had autoimmune disorders before I even knew I was trans, thanks for validating me OP.

Nothing could ever validate your sad existence, Miku.

I'm glad I have started such a butthurt following.
>>
depends on the one, like i am colorblind which is a genetic disorder that basically only affects males. how ever i do have a few conditions that are much more common in women. Hormones can affect things, my antidepressants stopped working correcting along with my sleeping pill because of hormones, it turned out an old med that didnt work for me works now. for all intensive purposes it can be mixed but if you take a look at how it affects them (genetic vs non) you can understand what you will be as risk of

>>5068140
Psoriasis is a shit attempt at an example tho unless your particular ethnicity has a clear and consistent overrepresentation of women, in most populations there isn't any
>>
>>5068085
meh, for me everything has been the same since taking hormones. The only problems I had previously were seborrheic dermatitis, which remained the same and compulsive overeating (thus being overweight), which also stayed the way it was before.
>>
>>5068140
Right, because a transwoman and a ciswoman are identical except for genetics. Ignore the fact that huge swaths of sex-specific anatomy are missing, that hormone production is impaired and that hormone levels and cycles differ greatly from cis counterparts.

Being on HRT does not make you a female, it helps you to pass as one.
>>
>>5075527
Do you not understand that both females and males have the same set of genes that is selectively turned on and off by either T or E?
>>
>>5075551
so E is what makes women such insufferable cunts?
>>
>>5075551
Did you read what I wrote or did you pick some argument to rebut out of the air?
>>
>>5075527
You don't even know that testosterone lowers SHBG, I think it's fair to assume you have no clue what you're talking about here.

>>5068085
Mostly female, for mtfs, and male for ftm.
What for the most part determines your health is your hormone levels, as they have a direct impact on how your body functions.

If you're mtf and get on proper medication, and properly suppress your testosterone, you'll pretty much drop down to female levels of blood levels. You may no longer even reach the male reference values, but are within the female ones.

>>5068140
>X linked genetic diseases follow male pattern.
What is a bit misleading here is that you're not really more "prone" to any diseases, but you're more likely to have inherited the illness from the get go. As XX females have 2 X chromosomes, and therefore less likely to suffer from that X chromosome disease.
>>
>>5075567
You come here with no knowledge about anything medical, and state retarded things as fact, without even attempting to prove them (which would be impossible, because you'd have immense trouble trying to find a psychotic enough doctor to state them).
>>
>>5075551
holy fuck, could you be anymore wrong? which genes in my Y chomosome do women have?

fucking trannies, i swear....

>"Our study shows that the inactive X in women is not as silent as we thought," said Laura Carrel, Ph.D., assistant professor of biochemistry and molecular biology, Penn State College of Medicine, Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center. "The effects of these genes from the inactive X chromosome could explain some of the differences between men and women that aren't attributable to sex hormones."

Aka your opinion is Wrong.
>>
>>5075571
>>5075575

Both of you kindly shut the fuck up. I've refuted every point that has been brought up.
>>
>>5075592
Yes, female have an extra X chromosome, that can help the other X chromosome if it's lacking or has a damaged gene.
That has nothing to do with what we're talking about.

You don't have the intelligence to talk about these kinds of things, so I suggest you stop it.
>>
>>5075589
The y chromosome practically contains nothing, All it does is contain the genes that tells your fetus to activate and become male, after that, it does nothing.

Have you gotten through highschool yet? Or are you a middle schooler?

you're some really butthurt mad tranny aint ya?

sorry hon, but you're not going to make it with an attitude like that.

Again, your opinon is Wrong.

Where do all of you brain damaged fucks come from? We made a huge mistake by bombing Iraq when we could have rid the world of you instead.
>>
>>5075610
yea, so you don't have male genes. which is why you're not a male. no amount of T is going to change that. congrats hon.
>>
>>5075614
>he

I'm actually trans too.
>>
>>5075622
Those genes are for activating maleness in fetuses.
It's not just 1 gene, you obtuse retard.
>>
>>5075628
sorry, sweetheart. let me pound ur bp while the other anon cries in the corner.
>>
>>5075634
So mad. Lel.
>>
>>5075628
No, you're not, you're autistic, not trans.
>>
>>5075634
you have now gone full retard.

>men and women have the same genes
..... except for the ones men have that make them male

lol wtf
>>
>>5075638
Aight.
>>
>>5075589
>thinks Y chromosome contains any relevant genes
top kek

everything from bones to brain development is built through the female X chromosome, kid

>>5075641
And you're a man pretending to be a woman.

i'm sure your parents must be proud
>>
>>5075645
It tells your body that you wants testosterone, and it makes you fertile with sperm, that's it.
What makes your body is the X chromosome.
>>
>>5075651
Whatever you say, autistic man.
>>
>>5075648
if they're not relevant, then why are there men and women at all? there wouldn't be a thing as trans because we'd be the same... except... we totally are. men are women with significant upgrades due to the Y chromosome.

top kek is right. thanks for making my day
>>
>>5075661
Jelly of my alpha male status?
>>
>>5075656
my glorious penis did not come from some shitty X chromosome. btfo, tranny
>>
>>5075669
You think autists are alpha?
Gee, you gotta be completely out of it.

Unless you're ftm, then that would explain why you're so absurdly retarded.
>>
>>5075675
yea, ftms are retarded because they didn't get a dose all that glorious Y chromosomal genes.
>>
>>5075670
Maybe not, but for some men, their penis came from their X chromosome.

Never heard of XX male syndrome?
Of course you haven't, you're way too stupid to know about it.
>>
>>5075663
there is no need for male sex at all. science will make males obsolete one day
>>
>>5075675
>Unless you're ftm, then that would explain why you're so absurdly retarded.

And yet nothing can explain your idiocy. gg
>>
>>5075677
FtMs are stupid because they're usually spoiled autistic girls, that are not trans, but will pretend to be trans for attention and because they're plain retarded.
>>
>>5075680
oh i sure have, i have a friend with Klinefelter syndrome. they're also autistic.

ftms wouldn't exist according to your bullshit because there's nothing different in the male brain because the Y chromosome doesn't do anything.

you are beyond stupid.
>>
>>5075656
>What makes your body is the X chromosome.
this is true

but Y chromosome is responsible for dudeballs, enlargement of clitoris, sperm, teeth (AMELY) and nerve cells (PCDHY)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Genes_on_human_chromosome_Y
>>
>>5075704
Klinefelters are XXY, you mentally challenged shitskin.
>>
>>5075713
i happen to be white, so i am very offended that you called me a shitskin.

my point was i've heard of plenty of chromosonal abnormalities in my time. the one i am wondering about the most is whatever disorder you have that made you this goddamn retarded.

did you perhaps tuck too tightly today? what's got you so mad, hon?
