Based on the available evidence, the concerns about cancer in transgender populations, albeit biologically plausible, are neither adequately supported nor convincingly alleviated because of a lack of well-designed epidemiologic studies.
From this paper.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5868281/
The biggest risk seems to be HPV causing cancer, which may not be related to hormones at all, but the fact that trans people may be more likely to have HPV to begin with. And how HPV will interact with gender affirming surgery, rather than with hormones.
In other words, the jury is still out and what you are repeating is not science but likely transphobic propaganda.
And on the other side of the equation you have to consider that gender incongruence causes severe suicidal ideation in a lot of transgender people.
So, if it was your loved one struggling for decades with suicidal ideation and attempts, would you want them denied life-saving medication because it might increase the risk of cancer? Because that's what your argument boils down too. Denying adults life-saving medicine because it's plausible that it could increase the risk of cancer.
And just to nail my point home, here's an article on how common medications used to treat depression increase the risk of cancer. Should we stop prescribing those too?
That's quite possible and something I hadn't considered. Thanks.
I love rogue likes, love ninja turtles, and find straight forward beat em ups not that fun.
So I'm really looking forward to this one.
I appreciate the information!
No other democrat is campaigning though...
Okay, in which case the flu pandemic is also not over. (According to the WHO article). And comparing deaths in less than a year (400k) with deaths over three and a half (700k) is a fun way to manipulate statistics
And, I'm going to watch the Harrisburg speech. Because I can't find a transcript and I suspect the twitter quote is as bullshit as your COVID one (which is bullshit because if you use quotation marks, you need to quote somebody, not put words in their mouth and take it out of context). I'll report back in an hour.
Edit: He did say he ended the pandemic. That is some serious hubris I admit. Not like Trump doesn't have hubris in spades but you do you.
Do accute infections give false negatives on home tests? Partner just got over it and I have no idea how I didn't catch it.
I'm vaccinated and boosted, but so is she. And the first day or two of symptoms we didn't realize it was COVID. So, I had a lot of exposure.
Any advice would be appreciated. Long COVID would suck!
My partner just had it. The spin on this is funny though. Testing yourself after an exposure to be sure you don't spread it isn't an abundance of caution. It's just par for the course for anyone that's not an asshole.
Acevedo said Harris was tested for Covid-19 on Saturday “out of an abundance of caution” and the result was negative.
The quotes make me think this is a sarcastic comment about Trump supporters rather than an attack on the president. But if I'm wrong, here's the quote.
"The pandemic is over," he said. "We still have a problem with COVID."
Emphasis mine.
I do the excited info dump myself.
Was nice reading this exchange and not feeling like such a freak!
