What research would we like to see?

[greatkills]

I've noticed several posts recently by undergrad researchers, looking for people to join their studies.

But what areas would WE like to see studied? If you could fund research, or even do it yourself, what would you look at?

What happens to us after transition? I mean, five, ten, fifteen years down the line?

What happens to trans people when we get old?

. . . or almost any other health condition. I keep hearing that "they think" it might make various problems worse, but there don't seem to be any actual studies on the effects of hormones on trans people in terms of the rest of their physical health.

Yeah, I'd like to know the long-term effects of hormones on the trans folk who take them.

[pauraque]

Yeah. I have multiple health issues and am frequently asked by well-meaning specialists if my transition/hormones are related to them in any way. I don't know. No one knows.

long term satisfaction surveys.

trans health care best practices.

I would like trans people to be actively included in (more/any) national, state and privately and publicly funded surveys.

I agree that the whole lifecourse of trans people's lifes.

It would be interesting to study stealth as well.

And more studies on short and longterm effects of HRT so we can get them included on insurance plans and into the understanding of healthcare providers.

I want to people to find out how cis people turn out to be cis. I mean, we really got to find out what makes those folks tick.

[anunreallife]

DEFINITELY THIS

[ilanthefirst]

Yes, I would love to see my tax money go towards this!
