Certain medical conditions have an increased risk factor based on sex. When someone changes sex through surgery and hormones, which risk category are they in - per or post surgery?
I assume both original genetics and current hormones play a role. Has this issue been studied?
I need facts, not opinions. A source will be helpful.
Thanks!

Back at you zaza....It was a theoretical question that was raised in one of my classes today.

Alot of it would depend on their genetic history, as well as their age when they start the crossgender hormone therapy. Prostate cancer is a real possibility for a male to female who begins after age 50, but starting estrogen in the teen years makes it a non-issue. Basically what a trans person has to do depends on what they are at risk for, the doctors and therapists we visit tell us in great detail the different and unique things that we have to worry about, as well as the specific things to each sex we have to watch out for. If you had any specific questions about transsexual medical issues feel free to e-mail me, I will try my best to answer your questions.
